Hollywood A-listers Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, and Josh Lucas are spilling the tea on their upcoming series “Palm Royale” and their hilarious experiences working with the iconic Carol Burnett!
The show, which dives into the lives of Florida’s elite and the not-so-fortunate, had the cast in stitches both on and off-screen.
Burnett Steals the Show (and Hearts)
Veteran comedienne Carol Burnett left a lasting impression on everyone involved. Wiig gushed, “Words can’t describe her. She’s the heart and soul of the show! The entire crew fell in love with her. She’s an incredible actress and an even better person.”
Lucas echoed the sentiment, calling Burnett “divine.” He added, “Her professionalism and grace are unmatched. She brings a light to the set that’s truly remarkable.”

Filming wasn’t all sunshine and roses, though. Turns out, Burnett’s comedic genius is equally potent off-camera, making it difficult to maintain composure during scenes.
Lucas, a seasoned “Saturday Night Live” alum, joked, “The struggle was real! While cracking up mid-scene might be funny on SNL, it doesn’t exactly fly in regular TV.”
Martin’s Unforgettable Oscars Encounter Leads to Dream Role
Ricky Martin’s casting story is pure Hollywood magic. The singer revealed he landed his role as a club worker after busting a move next to film producer Abe Sylvia at an Oscars party last year.
“We were just having fun dancing,” Martin said. “Three days later, my agent gets a call, and next thing I know, I have the script and a trip to LA booked! A month later, I was on set. I still can’t believe it. Thank you, Academy Awards!” he quipped, with Wiig adding a playful, “Cheers to that!”
“Palm Royale” is set to premiere on [date] and promises a hilarious and heartwarming look at the lives of the rich and famous (and those who dream of being them).
