Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett--Who was funnier?

[Janice]

I've been watching 'Carol Burnett and Friends' lately, and Carol Burnett is a scream. Her facial expressions are priceless. She and the others were great at sketch comedy.

I know Lucille Ball was considered a great comedienne, and I agree, but my vote goes to Carol Burnett.

Lucille Ball ... no one can top the Queen of Comedy.

I agree on all parts.
Lucy was great non-the-less, Carol just had her beat.

At variety, Carol. At scripted, Lucy.

Carol, if for no other reason than her broader range of characters and comedic styles.

They're both great, but if I have to pick one it'd be Lucy. I love Lucy!

Lucille Ball's talent was in a scripted sitcom format. Carol Burnett is the master in the variety format. So its too hard to say.
