Carol Burnett on the Netflix show Better Call Saul

Carol Burnett was on Better Call Saul in the last season, she was great. She was 89 at the time and she is age 92 now



Here is the scene




In June 2022, Burnett guest starred in the second half of the sixth and final season of American drama series Better Call Saul, a spin-off, prequel, and sequel to Breaking Bad. Burnett was announced to be portraying a character named "Marion" on June 27, 2022, by AMC. Of how she got the role Burnett stated, "I was a big fan of Breaking Bad and I knew Vince Gilligan...When they started Better Call Saul, I got hooked on that and he said, 'you know, maybe I'll write something for you for Saul.' I said, I don't care if it's one sentence. I'll be there. Because I just love their writing. I spent two and a half months in New Mexico doing that and it was just a delight. Upon Burnett missing out on an Emmy nomination for her role, Daniel Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised Burnett, lamenting the outcome and describing her performance "as a subtle symphony of world-weary nuance."
