LOVE LETTERS star and Broadway vet Carol Burnett will stop by Comedy Central's THE COLBERT REPORT, tonight, October 8th.

Before the words 'women's liberation' became a cultural catchphrase, Marlo Thomas embodied the term, creating, executive producing, and starring in the landmark television comedy series That Girl (1966-1971).
