There is so much Joy radiating from her. Goodnight, your star will always be shining.

I cried my eyes out. What a life, what a legacy, what a lady.

The affection and protective care with which the one chorus boy guides Miss Channing is such a beautiful picture of respect. He guides her, yet does not condescend. He subtly supports her but lets her strength shine through. During this virus, I don't fully know why, I have been watching this so often. And I really start crying at the lyric "Look at the old girl now fellas!!"

What beautiful jewel our 🌎 lost, at age 97!! Carol Channing was a rare gem in a world full of cubic zirconias💍💍💍

She's 90yrs old in this clip! 90 YEARS OLD! What a legend.

I was leaving work at 8 o'clock on a Sunday in Manhattan and saw her walking towards, almost a block away, in a bright red trench coat. She was very elegant, had true presence. I had a pleasant little conversation with her when she passed. She seemed humble and loved her fans. She had class but could really camp it up on stage. She had a reputation for being a hard worker, but always looked like she was having fun. She was born to be on Broadway. I was surprised at how tall she was, about 6 feet in flat shoes. I always appreciated her uniqueness.

R.I.P... one of the great thrills in her live was being on Nixon's enemies list... she was a real liberal, someone who really cared about others... she was for real... she will be missed.

....just read that ever since her inclusion on Nixon's enemies list was revealed, that ALL of Carol's PLAYBILLs lister her theater accomplishments...and that she then listed her inclusion on Nixon's list as a separate accomplishment. Has it ever been revealed WHY she was on Nixon's list?!?

Let's hope we can all move this good when we are 90

"Wow, wow, wow, fellas! Look at the old girl now fellas...." Wow, only Carol can be the epitome Dolly, as she performs this routine for zillionth time. How many gals can sing & dance at almost 90! May you sing & dance in peace, Carol, forevermore, as you are now a shining star in heaven! Bless you for giving us your extraordinary joy, charm & smile - we will miss you!

i thought i would be in tears watching this but the joy she radiated i couldn’t. i can only be happy that Dolly is back where she belongs. Rest well, Miss Channing. Long live 💖

RIP my Dolly, they surely broke the mold when they made you!

Wow. I was in tears near the end. What a star. I saw her in the Hello Dolly production in 1994 in NY. She brought the house down when she did her Dolly stroll. Tonight she needed help - but at 93 - God bless her.

How can you be sad watching Carol Channing perform? Man I love this lady.

This living legend will be missed❤️😢, thank you for all your singing and humor Carol. #ripCarolChanning

That was ingenious of them to create a well thought-out performance just for her. They didn't let her stumble or look ridiculous trying to perform an over 40-year routine.

RIP Carol. I'll miss your wonderful voice and talent.

carol....seen her over the years so many times, so many memories...in my 90,s now,,,still feel very young...counting on staying this way...hoping I,ll be wearing a Carol Channing smile at the end...wonderful entertainer ! Wonderful Woman ! 🌹❤️🌹

Many copied her .... yet they will never be any one else quite like her ..how luck I was to have seen her so many times live !!

Thank you for that. Yes, I was... :) I did the last revival of DOLLY on Broadway with Carol, then supervised the National tour with her. I adore her immensely. It was a treat to be onstage with her again.

She looks like she is having the time of her life while they are having her sing through hello dolly!!! Dolly is here to stay and she will never leave Broadway! Love you Carol!!!

Such joy in her face, and in the faces of all the Dolly Boys, and I'm sure in the audience! Randy Slovacek's beaming smile shows how much everyone adored her.

Quite the doors of Heaven today. RIP Madam, and keep smiling!

I'm only a third of Dr. Channing's age and wish I had the energy, passion, and boldness she possesses. Truly an inspiring performer and a noble person.

You could just see that she was having a wonderful time up there.

She better have received standing ovation! This woman is a pure Broadway legend and still working! Carol, bravo! If I ever make it big like you, I hope I can keep on working like you did here. Carol, you're a true performer and a trooper and you give me more inspiration and desire to keep going :)

This dear lady brought so much joy, I was grinning like an idiot through the whole video.

Wow wonderful. She is the best

MrMartybearass lol. I was thinking she must be 120 because I remember her being old since I was a child and I'm no spring chicken. But she's only 93 yo and bless her heart she's still kicking. My parents were younger and they are both deceased. She's one of the few celebrity's still around from that generation. So I'd say her heart is definitely blessed.

Thebe Bashaleebee Still with us. Turns 97 in two weeks.

As far as I'm concerned this is probably one of the all time best moments in broadway history and body mics were invented just in time to help her amazing voice to be heard in this and ONLY this particular occasion.

Wow that was great what a true legend

I adore her! But was afraid the whole time that she'd fall! What a trouper!

My favorite actress and singer.

Good bye, Dolly! Rest in peace!

What a truly lovely and talented woman. I grew up knowing of Carrol Channing but haven’t really known her until all these KZread presentations. She wasn’t really all that gifted vocally but then again she was extremely gifted. She was a performer into her 90’s and I wish that I could have met her personally and I bet she was just a genuinely nice person.

I will forever love her.

So much Love ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

I adore this woman!

Amazing this woman can still grace that audience with her performance!

Treasure. RIP legend.

I’ll miss that smile

In 2010 she was eighty nine years old and still magic on stage. One of the great Broadway legends.

It’s amazing to see Broadway legends on stage again after awhile

She's BRILLIANT....however the sound man should have bumped up her mic just a bit more. Lower register requires a little more amplification.

She's still got it. Wonderful woman.

I have never adored a performer more than I adore Carol Channing!

An icon!

Very sad to see Carol is no longer alive she seemed so full of life but from what i've heard her health had been bad from 2018 as she reportley suffered 2 strokes in 2018 which is probably why she passed away peacefully at 97 cause her body couldn't take it anymore.

LOVE and RESPECT ❤❤❤❤❤

Such a good show!

i hope that audience could hear her better than we could.

Pure joy! What a treasure.

What a beutyful human been she is awesome

Who’s still watching in 2021 though?

RIP Carol Channing. A Broadway Legend and the ORIGINAL Dolly Levi!

Legend. I watched performances throughout her life and her spirit remained despite age.

this has just bought tears to my eyes - thanks for posting and keep up the marvellous work

We already miss you .

love how that fella on her right is smiling so much

There's a name for the linguistic thing she does with her S's, but that is, and has always been, her most endearing feature and signature. She truly is a legend and is not lauded enough. Long may she continue to give pleasure to all who view these clips.

Awwwe so precious, Gypsy ❤️ I have

Just glorious: what a thing to be so loved by those one has worked with!

an ICON! Bless her heart! RIP

Carol's 97. Betty White is just a child.....

She was wonderful. I lo ed her since I saw her as a little kid. My whole family ed e everything about her. She had such purity. I am ticked that the sound engineers let her go through a performance like this with theevels so ridiculously out of balance! For Pete's sake! A la dmark performance and they do this.

She was 90. wow

❤️

89 !

I've always been stupidly blase about Carol Channing -- but this made me choke up!!

Too bad they messed up on the mic. she was great!

I just read an article about Carol. They said that her mother waited till Carol was going off to college to tell her that her grandmother was black, because Carol would be on her own, she didn't want Carol to be surprised if she had a black baby.

" You're looking great, Stanley " ... Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus ~ Thank You BCEFA

Her mic isn't loud enough. Shame.

Please tell me someone else noticed the guy on the left at 05:11 and cried for like 2 hours straight 😂😂😂

What outfit was Carol Channing wearing??:)

She lost not one iota of charm, though! Sleep well, Ms. Channing, and thank you!

Ok, when is that lift used in Mary Poppins?

She was surrounded by gays all her career..glad she felt safe lol
