Last year, Burnett's friends also showed their support when the Carol & Company star was honored by having her hand and footprints cemented at the famous TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Calif.
Her longtime friend Dick Van Dyke — who appeared alongside her on The Carol Burnett Show, which ran for 11 seasons from 1967 to 1978 — joined her for the special occasion. The pair posed for photos together on the red carpet.
Talk show host Kimmel and Burnett's Palm Royale costar Laura Dern and Better Call Saul costar Bob Odenkirk spoke during the ceremony, and other stars in attendance included Allison Janney, Jane Lynch, Lisa Ann Walter, Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph.

Lemons also revealed that Burnett "burst into tears" upon hearing the news about her ceremony.
For Burnett, the career accolade was a full-circle moment, she also told PEOPLE.

'When I was a little girl … I was 10 or 11 years old, and I would put my handprints on Betty Grable's hands,' Burnett recalled. 'Now they have mine 80 years later. Who knew? So when I put my hands down there today, I went back to Betty Grable. … All of a sudden, I was a little girl again, putting my hands on Betty Grable's prints.'
True to form, during her speech at the ceremony, Burnett joked about how she and her grandmother had a secret way to ensure they got their money's worth when the pair splurged on a movie outing at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
"Before we'd leave, my grandmother said, 'Well, let's hit the ladies' room,' " she said, before revealing: "So we would go in there and steal all the toilet paper. And she said, 'Well, we'll be set for another month.' "

Just days ahead of her latest birthday, Burnett delighted fans with a guest appearance in the April 24 episode of Hacks. Paul W. Downs, co-creator and co-showrunner, told PEOPLE they had heard that Burnett was a fan of Hacks and were therefore keen to bring her on.
"We were like, 'Geez, that would be so perfect to have her on, especially this season with the story that we're telling,' " he recalled, noting that her cameo turned out to be a truly "special" experience.
"For someone like Carol Burnett to want to do it, I mean, she's a living legend," Downs explained. "So it was really special and really cool 'cause we were filming it at Television City, which is where The Carol Burnett Show was filmed."

Monyetta Shaw-Carter's Birthday Hits Different – She's Celebrating Life & Love After A Stage 1 Breast Cancer Battle
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Today (May 31) isn't just another birthday for Monyetta Shaw-Carter — it's a full-on rebirth. After battling stage 1 breast cancer, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star's special day hits different. She is turning 45 and celebrating with purpose, power, and a whole lot of pink. 'I caught the cancer early, and because of that, I will be here for my kids,' she told People . 'There's nothing more important than getting checked often and early to protect your future. Our health is irreplaceable.' Her diagnosis came after she felt an unusual sensation in her left breast last September. She didn't find a lump but told People she had a strange feeling that something was off. She listened. And that instinct saved her life. 'It was literally like my body was alerting me that something was wrong,' Monyetta said. 'It's so important for me to share this story because I hope to inspire others not to dismiss their gut feeling. Our body speaks to us, and when it does, we have to listen. It can be a matter of life or death.' One month after that self-check, a mammogram confirmed she had stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent a lumpectomy in January and completed 16 rounds of radiation by May 2. Now, weeks later, she's bringing her loved ones together for a joyful, pink-powered birthday bash. Her party honors life, resilience, and sisterhood. Monyetta credits her husband, Heath Carter, for being her rock through it all. She also had the support of her ex-fiancé, singer NE-YO, with whom she shares two children. 'NE-YO was just showing up for me in a major way and just always asking and making sure everything was okay,' she recalled in a recent interview. 'He was like, 'Oh, you're gonna beat this.'' Her RHOA circle also showed up with love. Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and Shereé Whitfield all supported. For Monyetta Shaw-Carter, breast cancer is real but not unbeatable. So why not celebrate? As the founder of Keep It Classy Nails , a mother of four, and a businesswoman, she wants Black women everywhere to trust their instincts, take care of themselves, and live on their own terms. 'I'm stepping into this new chapter with deeper gratitude, unstoppable faith, and a whole new glow,' she wrote on Instagram. 'This birthday is more than candles and cake…it's a celebration of life, a reflection of pain & purpose, of healing, and God's grace. I've faced one of the biggest battles of my life… and I WON!!!'

Sydney Sweeney's New Soap Collab Will Be Made With 'Her Actual Bathwater'
Men like Sydney Sweeney. How much do they like her? Well, men's personal hygiene company Dr. Squatch is making a new soap with a secret ingredient: Sydney Sweeney's actual bathwater. For real. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad … so we kept it,' Sweeney (Euphoria, The White Lotus season one) posted to her Instagram account on Thursday. Called 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss,' the bricc (what Dr. Squatch calls its soap bars) is a 'very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater,' Sweeney wrote. More from The Hollywood Reporter Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, Michelle Yeoh Films Sell Wide at Cannes Sydney Sweeney Teases "Unhinged" 'Euphoria' Season 3 Sydney Sweeney, Halsey Get Violent While Hunting Down a Rare Artifact in 'Americana' Trailer Why do this? Well, you know why: because men are gross. So now they can cleanse themselves — well, their skin at least — with saponified oils (of olive, sustainable palm and coconut), shea butter, natural fragrance, Sydney's bath water, sand, mica, kaolin clay and sea salt. God knows what else they'll do with it: Dr. Squatch called Sweeney's bathwater 'one of nature's finest aphrodisiacs.' Don't try to check us on that 'men are gross' thing. First of all, I'm a man and I'm gross. But more relevant here are the multiple stalker fan letters to Dr. Squatch asking for this exact product — and definitely asking for worse things. Here's a relatively tame one: Unfortunately, there's a lot more where that came from; swipe right on the post. Clearly, the personal-care company (and Sweeney, whom Dr. Squatch calls a 'legend' for this) are leaning in. Days ago, the collab was teased by a Dr. Squatch post that read: 'Wanna take a shower with Sydney Sweeney?' Well, come June 6, you can. Sort of. The medium grit bar soap has 'refreshing notes of pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss,' per the manufacturer. Naturally, Dr. Squatch named the scent 'morning wood.' Sydney's Bathwater Bliss is 'a perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub,' the company continued. It appears that 100 creeps lucky winners will get a bricc made with Sweeney's actual bathwater. (To win one, you have to be '18+.' This bath soap couldn't get pornier.) The rest of you can buy a bar next week for $8. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Dr. Squatch and Sweeney's reps for more info.
