Carol Burnett Talks Doris Sylvester

In an interview with TVGuide, Carol Burnett chatted about her upcoming November 23 appearance on GLEE, Dancing with the Stars, and much more. When asked about her GLEE character, Dori,s Sylvester, Burnett said, "She's retired. They caught the last Nazi. You get the idea where Sue got her temperament from. This mother makes Sue Sylvester look like Mother Teresa."

Of co-star Jane Lynch, Burnett added, "I love locking eyeballs with her because she is a consummate comedian. She knows exactly how to say it and whether or not it will land - and it does every time. And Jane can really sing. In this duet she does the harmony, so it doesn't show off her voice the way it should. But I think they should give her major singing [scenes] because she's really musical."

When asked if she would consider appearing on an upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars, she answered, "No - you might first see me getting root canal before I would go on Dancing with the Stars."
