Carol Channing Is Insane (Person Of The Week)
There has never been, nor will there ever be another entertainer like Carol Channing. She is absolutely insane... and therefore ridiculously entertaining. One of my favorite moments in her storied, bizarre, delightful career is her turn in the generally terrible 1985 TV version of Alice In Wonderland. It's over-the-top, campy, and mind-bogglingly odd. It should simply terrify lost children, which of course makes it all the better that it's in a children's story and was on network TV. I love it!
Thank God for Carol Channing.
