Old friends.

Carol Burnett reunited with Dick Van Dyke during her handprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday.

The “Carol Burnett Show” star, 91, had her feet and hands plastered into the pavement outside the famed movie palace while her former co-star, 98, cheered her on.

The nonagenarians happily posed for photos together, including one with Burnett’s legendary costume designer, Bob Mackie.

Van Dyke often appeared on the CBS variety show, which ran for 11 seasons from 1967 to 1978, and has remained close friends with its comedic namesake throughout their incredible careers.

Burnett’s “Palm Royale” co-stars Laura Dern and Allison Janney also attended the ceremony along with Bill Hader, Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Lynch, Lisa Ann Walter and Maya Rudolph.

Kimmel, who spoke at the event, shared his gratitude in an Instagram post later in the day.

“Thank you Carol Burnett for giving me the honor of honoring you at your exceptionally well-deserved and long overdue handprint & footprint ceremony this morning in Hollywood,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, 56, wrote.

When Burnett spoke to Pvnew last year in honor of her milestone 90th birthday, she confessed to not feeling her age.

“I feel like I’m 11!” she exclaimed, adding that she was thrilled to still be working.

“I’m just so fortunate, at this age, to be able to be getting in the sandbox and playing with people,” she said.

The TV icon also shared that she did not believe her groundbreaking show could be made now.

“We had a 28-piece live orchestra, we had 12 dancers, we had two guest stars a week and Bob Mackie designed — get this — 60 to 75 costumes a week, everything everybody wore in all the sketches and all the musical numbers, on and on and on,” she told us.

“And no network today would spend that kind of money. The money that it would cost today would be astronomical. So they’re not gonna go for it.”

Burnett acknowledged that “there are many people who could do a variety show” today, though she made sure to note, “They couldn’t do what we did because of the cost. That’s the problem. That’s why there aren’t any shows like ours or Dean Martin or any of those, you know, just can’t happen today.”

Van Dyke has not shown any signs of slowing down either.

Earlier this month, he became the oldest Daytime Emmy winner, snagging an award for a guest spot on “Days of Our Lives.”
