Legendary comedian Carol Burnett joked that there’s really only one thing she would want for her 91st birthday, and that’s Hollywood star Bradley Cooper.

During the 90-year-old comedian/actress’ appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Burnett quipped that the one thing she hasn’t done yet before she turns 91 in April is getting to spend time with the 49-year old actor.

It came after host Kelly Ripa’s husband Mark Consuelos noted that during a podcast last year, Burnett said the one thing she hadn’t done yet before she turned 90 was “George Clooney.”

Burnett confirmed that she never heard from Clooney, adding, “but now I’m thinking about Bradley Cooper.”

Ripa replied, “Everyone knows that this is the official morning show of Bradley Cooper. He loves the show. Brad? Give Carol a call. And you know which phone to use.”

Burnett, not missing a beat said, “I love it,” and joked that there would be one person who will probably not be okay with her having a relationship with the “A Star is Born” actor, and that’s her husband, drummer Brian Miller.

“I don’t think it’ll work with my husband,” the “Palm Royale” star quipped about them having a relationship.

“The Carol Burnett Show” star and the Hollywood Bowl orchestra drummer tied the knot in 2001. Clooney is also married after making his relationship official to Amal Clooney in 2014. The two share two kids. And Cooper, while not married, is currently paired up with super model Gigi Hadid and shares a daughter with his ex model, Irina Shayk.

In April 2023, Burnett spoke to Page Six about turning 90 and admitted she feels like she’s “11!”

Last year, she was celebrated in the NBC TV special “Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter and Love” for her decades of work in Hollywood. 

Ahead of the special airing, Burnett spoke to Fox News about the upcoming two-hour special.

“What I love about it was the fact that it wasn’t a roast, and it wasn’t a birthday party with a cake and balloons and stuff,” Burnett told the outlet.

“It was a two-hour variety show,” she added. “We had a 19-piece orchestra and I had so many friends who were there. And the live entertainment, my gosh. … It was really exciting. It was just a party – everybody had a good time.”
