Burnett is best known for her 1967 series The Carol Burnett Show, which ran for nine seasons.
She has also starred in Mama’s Family, The Garry Moore Show, The Four Seasons, Eunice, and many others. The Hollywood icon has received numerous awards, including six Emmys.
Perry’s performance comes after she broke down crying on Sunday’s episode of American Idol after contestant Trey Louis said a shooting at his high school motivated him to audition.
Trey ‘Trey from the Fe’ Louis, 21, a mattress salesman from Santa Fe, Texas, told judges he was motivated to get on the show after surviving a school shooting in May 2018.
He was the last contestant to audition during the two-hour episode, and the judges gave him a standing ovation after performing Whiskey Myers’ Stone.
“I was in art room one and he shot up art room two before he went to art room one,” Trey said. “Lost many friends. Eight students were killed. Two teachers were killed. And it was really negative. Santa Fe has simply had a bad rap here since 2018.

Katy burst into tears as she buried her head in her hands. “Our country has fucking let us down!” said Katy. ‘It’s not OK. You should sing because you love music.’
“Not because you had to go through that shit,” Katy said. “You didn’t have to lose eight friends! I hope you remind people that we need to change. Because you know what, I’m scared too.’
The emotional display came after her partner Orlando Bloom appeared to do some damage control after openly admitting his relationship with his “baby mom and life partner” Katy can be “really challenging”.
The 46-year-old actor took to Instagram last Tuesday to share a sweet photo of himself holding hands with the pop star.
The post came just days after the Pirates of the Caribbean star revealed his fiancé is “stressed out” about the dangerous side of his job, before making the aforementioned very candid relationship confession.
“We definitely fight with our emotions and our creativity, [but] I think we both realize how blessed we are that we connected in a unique way like we did back then and there’s definitely never a dull moment,” she continued.
Bloom went on to tell Flaunt Magazine that dealing with the American Idol judge has been her biggest challenge over the years due to her demanding work schedules.
He concluded: “Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won’t lie.”
