Carol Burnett is gearing up to celebrate her 90th birthday!

Ahead of her milestone celebration on April 26, the comedian opened up about what it means to turn nine decades old.

"I can't wrap my head around it," the Annie star told People. "I still feel like I'm about 11, but I'm amazed. It sure went fast. But I'm glad because I've got all my parts — got my hips, I got my knees and I've got my brain, so I'm happy about that."

And she certainly still has her A-list sense of humor, as she cheekily revealed the one item she'd like to check off her bucket list: "George Clooney."

Same, Burnett. Same.

As for her legacy? Burnett shared that she'd like to be remembered for the way she made fans "feel good when they might have been down."

"In my fan mail, many say it was the only time the family would get together, to watch and laugh," she said, specifically of her critically acclaimed series, The Carol Burnett Show. "And that sometimes they were lonesome and were cheered up by our show. That's a good feeling."

On April 26, NBC will be celebrating Burnett's 90th birthday with a two-hour special, which will feature guest stars like, Amy Poehler, Cher, Ellen Degeneres, Steve Carell, and Burnett's longtime friend, Julie Andrews. The special will also include performances from Bernadette Peters, Billy Porter, Jane Lynch, Katy Perry, and Kristin Chenoweth.

Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love airs April 26 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and streams on Peacock the next day.
