When "Access Hollywood" asked Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry about a possible guest star he would like to see on Wisteria Lane for a couple episodes, Cherry revealed, "My dream is to get someone like Carol Burnett on the show." Cherry adds that he has "talked to Carol's people" and that they are trying to work something out. Cherry stresses the fact that he does not want Burnett to play an expected role and would "want her to be kind of malignant, kind of evil, to make her go away from her normal persona."

The "Desperate Housewives" mastermind added, "I think she is up for it. I just think it's about us finding the right part for her at this point."

The interview airs on "Access Hollywood," Tuesday, January 24, 2006 (check local listings for exact time).
