The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Vicki Lawrence is an American actress, comedian and singer who joined The Carol Burnett Show in 1967 and remained with it throughout its original run. In the recurring Family sketches, she created Thelma Harper, usually known as Mama. The character became the centre of the sitcom Mama’s Family.
Lawrence later brought Mama to the stage in Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two-Woman Show. Her career also includes television guest appearances, hosting and music; her recording of The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia reached number one in 1973. She has continued to perform both as herself and as Mama.
