  "account": "Actor Peter Krause made his television debut on a forgotten Carol Burnett comedy show called \"Carol & Company.\" The series aired on NBC from 1990 to 1991 and featured notable performers including Richard Kind, Jeremy Piven, and Terry Kiser. Despite not reaching the same level of success as Burnett's original show, \"Carol & Company\" produced 34 episodes over two seasons. Krause played various characters on the show and went on to credit his time with Burnett as a turning point in his career. His parents were initially hesitant about his acting ambitions, but he managed to win them over after landing a role on Carol Burnett's program. Krause often speaks fondly of his experience working with Burnett and considers her a valuable mentor in his career. Carol Burnett herself expressed admiration for Krause during her interviews, praising his comedic skills and confirming that he was a wise choice for the cast of \"Carol & Company.\"",
  "summary": "Peter Krause may be better known as Bobby Nash on 9-1-1, but his first ever TV role saw him play a different kind of role - opposite a comedy legend, no less.",
