Carol Burnett Recalls Being Pranked by Elizabeth Taylor (Video)

The comedian says her longtime friend, who died Wednesday, pulled a practical joke on her on live TV while she was shooting a guest spot on "All My Children."

Comedian Carol Burnett recalled her late friend Elizabeth Taylor's prankster side Wednesday night in an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
 
Burnett and Taylor, who died Wednesday, became friends while shooting the 1983 HBO movie Between Friends. While on set, the actresses would take two-hour lunch breaks to watch their favorite shows, Burnett told Leno.
