Carol Burnett received quite the celebration on NBC Wednesday night.

Carol Burnett is a Wordle queen!The legendary comic is an avid subscriber to the daily  word game — and she plays it every day with one of her famous friends: Allison Janney. The 89-year-old comedian revealed the unexpected nugget while speaking to ET's Nischelle Turner for her star-studded NBC special, which airs Wednesday, her 90th birthday.Burnett and Janney co-star in the upcoming Apple TV+ series, , alongside Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large As Carol Burnett turns 90, she bristles at the idea of looking back at her legacy. She’s not one to watch old episodes of her iconic “The Carol Burnett Show,” for example. “I’m not like Norma Desmond,” she quips, referring to the fading star in “Sunset Boulevard.” “The only time I do it is if I have to for a reason.” In this case, NBC gave her a good one. The network is set to air “Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love” on April 26, and the special features both new performances and clips from Burnett’s storied career. And it gave Burnett a chance to reminisce with old friends — and new. “It’s exactly what I wanted,” Burnett said. “I didn’t want a birthday party with cake and balloons and confetti and all of that. What I wanted was to have an entertaining show. And that’s what we got. It’s a variety show, with live entertainment by Bernadette Peters, Kristin Chenoweth, Billy Porter, Katy Perry, Darren Criss and Sutton Foster. And then funny moments with Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney and Laura Dern. We had a 19-piece orchestra live.”

Laura Dern said she felt the "walls crumbling down" around her in 2018 when a doctor told her that her mother Diane Ladd might only have six months to live after her lungs had been scarred most likely by her exposure to pesticide spraying near her home.  But she felt encouraged when he said taking her on walks each day might expand her lungs.  So she moved to Santa Monica to stay with her mom, writing in their new book: "These walks might be our final moments together.They only way I can cope with my fear of her dying is by making sure that we talk about everything and that we leave nothing unsaid."   The "Jurassic Park" actress and Ladd began to walk each day, which the "Chesapeake Shores" star noted in the book felt "impossible" to her at first because of her reduced lung capacity, but as the walks got longer their conversations did as well and their understanding of each other deepened.  The pair recorded their conversations and have turned them into a book out this week called "Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love (and Banana Pudding)." Dern continued, "In the months that followed, we talked through happy memories and old wounds – some of which healed as a result of these conversations. I became closer to my mother than I ever had been before.
