Carol Burnett got her big TV break when she was booked on the ‘Paul Winchell
Show’ in 1955.
Her grandmother (whom she called ‘Nanny’) wanted Burnett to say hello to her
on-screen. Thinking it unprofessional to do so – but not wanting to
disappoint her Nanny – She devised a secret signal: pulling on her left ear.
That meant “Hello, Nanny”.
It became her signature sign-off, which carried through to ‘The Gary Moore
Show’, ‘The Carol Burnett Show’, and virtually every TV and theatrical
appearance since.
