The 76th annual Golden Globe Awards took place on Sunday night, and during the ceremony, legendary comedian Carol Burnett was honored with a lifetime achievement award. The 85 year-old entertainer proceeded to take the stage and give a stirringly emotional speech.

Burnett began by saying that the famous “The Carol Burnett Show,” which ran for eleven years, “couldn’t be done today.”

“My first love growing up was the movies,” Burnett said, adding that she saw six to eight movies a week with her beloved grandmother. “What fascinated me was the way that stars on the screen could make people laugh, or cry, or both. And I wished and I hoped that maybe, just maybe, someday I could do the same thing. Those childhood dreams came true sometimes on the big screen but mostly on television on a half-hour comedy show.”

Burnett admitted that she misses the way television was when her show was on.

“Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming about being young again and doing it all over and then I bring myself up short to see how incredibly fortunate I was to be there at the right time,” Burnett said, “because what we did then couldn’t be done today. The cost alone would be prohibitive.”

She went on to say that the cast and crew of her show was like a “family.”

“Nothing like our show — and I should add other variety shows at the time — could see the light of day today…today’s audience might not know what they’re missing,” Burnett said. “Here’s to reruns and YouTube.”

She said that what remains the same is the “belief that we’ve been able to do something special” before she dedicated the award to “all those who made my dream come true and all out there who share my love for television…. I’m just happy that our show happened when it did.”
