In the video, Tracee saunters around a desk before a voice off-camera tells her to pick up a telephone and pretend to speak to someone.

Captioning it, she wrote: "Happy birthday to @itscarolburnett, an absolute comedy legend. She took the everyday absurd and not only shined a light on it but gave us permission to laugh at it in our own lives at the same time.

She added: "And her wacky way of expressing herself helped me to understand myself a little bit better. Thank you for breaking ground, breaking ceilings and for being so dang funny!!"

"Idk what you're doing in the first slide but ya look good," commented one fan. A second said: "And thank you for purple sequins!" A third added: "Lawd ah mercy," followed by two heart-eyes emojis.
