CAROL BURNETT REUNITES WITH HARVEY KORMAN, TIM CONWAY, VICKI LAWRENCE AND LYLE WAGGONER FOR A NEW ENTERTAINMENT SPECIAL, "THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: LET’S BUMP UP THE LIGHTS,"
WEDNESDAY, MAY 12 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

Legendary variety show star Carol Burnett reunites with Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner for THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: LET’S BUMP UP THE LIGHTS, a new entertainment special to be broadcast Wednesday, May 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. In the special, the illustrious cast comes together before an audience to introduce never-before-seen clips from the spontaneous and hilarious moments that were seen at the beginning of every "The Carol Burnett Show" -- where Carol and the gang answered questions from the studio audience.

The question and answer segments featured Carol as herself, not as a character, as she answered the no-holds-barred questions from audience members. Always impromptu and spur-of-the-moment, the segments showed Carol at her creative and improvisational best. Questions were also often asked of fellow cast members Harvey, Tim, Vicki and Lyle who joined Carol on stage to respond.

Viewers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite clips by telephone or the Internet. Carol will announce the top three clips on CBS News’ "The Early Show" (7:00-9:00 AM, ET/PT) the morning after the broadcast.

"The Carol Burnett Show" premiered on the Network in 1967 and ran for 11 fun-filled seasons. It was the longest-running comedy-variety show in television history. Each week, Burnett and her cohorts brought their special brand of humor and magic to television audiences across the country.

NBC's powerful, drama, "Crossing Jordan" has been picked up for a fourth year (Sundays, 10-11 p.m. ET) for the 2004-05 season, it was announced today by Jeff Zucker, President, NBC Entertainment, Cable and News Group.

"For three years we've been looking for the right show to pair with 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' and we've finally found it in 'Crossing Jordan.' Two years ago it was the highest-rated new drama of the year. Last year, it more than held its own against 'CSI: Miami,' and now it's returned to the schedule with a vengeance. The show has clearly earned this early pick-up and signals the strength and stability of our new Sunday night schedule " said Zucker.

Turning up at the police precinct, the lost child claims responsibility for killing her alleged attacker, leaving Jordan and Detective Capra (guest star Arija Bareikis) to sort out the truth behind this murder. Elsewhere, Peter (Ivan Sergei) handles his first solo case when he investigates an unidentified man found striped down to his underwear, beaten to death in the woods.
