Vicki Lawrence

Vicki Lawrence has been playing the character of Mama from the show Mama's Family live on stage for over 35 years. She originally came to fame after singing with the Young Americans musical group, which garnered her a place as co-host on the Carol Burnett show from 1967 to 1978. Lawrence's honky-tonk humor is beloved in the Midwest and South, and she often stays in her Mama character to deliver her jokes.
