I just love how Viola turns into such a comedian on talk shows.
I agree it's a crime she hasn't done a full comedy movie
It's just what black people do, the way they tell stories could turned them into a comedian for some reason and i love it

I remember between 2004-2008 she had a recurring role as a defense attorney on Law & Order: SVU
ppl are trolling Davis big time for portraying Michelle with a constant duck pout.🥺
Love her.She is so authentic.Also, she has a marvelous laugh.
Omg her laugh is so infectious. I love it
@@arabia1980 yeah and it's a man's laugh...
you so rarely hear a woman laugh, really, genuinely laugh, on tv. it's lovely.
@@bertagriese8282 women laugh every kind of way; we just never hear it on tv because it's not "ladylike".
Laugh sounds a lil like Will’s 🤔
She ages like the finest wine ever. Just gorgeous.
So beautiful I cry

I love me some Viola Davis! ♥️🥰
@@adfa6109 🥱👿
The video has nothing to do with aging. Do you have anything to say about her skill and talent as an actress?
Viola speaks to everyone as if they were her own family, it's refreshing and I have so much more respect and love for her!
I've never actually watched Viola in an interview. She's awesome. I love it when a celebrity doesn't seem like they're playing a character. Jimmy showed her much love and respect, too. This was a joy to watch.
Jimmy: “Have you spoken to Michelle?”
Viola: “😐 No. I’m HIDING from Michelle…”
🤣🤣😂 Viola is hilarious 😂😅
@cgill914***I wonder why??? Girl please...🤨🤔🧐🙄😶
The Queen of acting. This was such a fun interview!
Viola is a national treasure. She should be protected at all costs.

@@sto4713 wtf seriously 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
❤️💯❤️
@@sto4713 Rightfully so! I love her, but her performance as Michelle Obama is a no for me. The duck lips, eyebrows, face expressions are distracting and laughable.
International 🇨🇵
God was showing off when Miss Viola Davis was made.
She is beyond brilliant.
Viola has simply the best laughter.
Australia 💟
Viola - love her, can't get enough of her - one of the BEST American actresses EVER! 👍🤗❤
Her laughter is SO contagious!!! I love it 😂
Her roles are normally so serious and she's such a great actress that when I first started watching this, I thought she'd had a drink or two. However, it's just her natural personality and she seems like a great laugh.
She said in another interview that she is where the fun is literally.
Forreal
I’d love to see her in a comedy
@@teresaamanfu7408 She needs one. She never did any and she would be awesome.
Talented, charming and interesting. What's not to like with Viola.
The answer is nothing. There's absolutely nothing to not like about her.
Death comes for us all.
She’s perfect 😍

She should do a comedy. She would be so much fun !
She deserves an Oscar for THE BEST ACTRESS she is an legend ❤️🕊 what a lovely woman.
She is already an Oscar Winner, yess she deserves more.
@@beloncekamz2821 she has one but not for the best actress - supportive actress isn’t the same.
Wow.... I can't remember the last time I've seen such chemistry between a late night show host and I guest! It's like a flawless interview and they just flow together like liquid. Good stuff.
As much as I've seen her acting in movies and shows over the years, this is my first time ever watching her do an interview! I loved it! She's so awesome.
So many things I adore about the terrific Viola Davis-her laughter, her brilliant mind, her talents, her charisma, her beauty, her many awards, etc… what a wonderful thing to live during her lifetime. Thank you Viola for your many gifts. 🙏🏽You are loved! 💖
VIOLA'S LAUGH IS EVERYTHING....
Viola is simply the best interviewee I've seen on Kimmel
Real black legend. And that is a understatement !!!! Continue to prevail Viola !!!
She is a real legend.
Serious question, why qualify her status as a legend by including her race? To me it seems to diminish her bona fides, and talent as one of the greatest actors of all time.
@@IzThizThingOn that’s true I shouldn’t have included race . Uncalled for
@@Surfboard144 I appreciate your reply, thank you.
I'm excited to see her new series.

My favorite contemporary actress. She's the bomb...LOVE HER!
I love her. She's an amazing actress. But she seems like a lot of fun to hang with.
Thank you Ms Davis .
For everything you've done.
Viola Davis has such an expressive face! I was cracking up when she was looking at Jimmy after her asked did she want him to send Michelle the show! Also loved that suit! Such a talented lady…her husband sounds hilarious too (although I’m pretty sure he’s not trying to be George Jefferson 🤣)
Viola Davis is my biggest celebrity crush since Cate Blanchett. She is the bomb! Funny, intelligent, and talented. I swear I’d divorce my husband if I ever have a chance with her. 🤣🤣🤣
Annalise Keating is so cute! She's almost an EGOT, I need Viola to win a Grammy. I love her! 🥺
What a beautiful woman. She seems like one of the good ones. Genuine to the core. So much respect for this woman.
Absolutely love her acting!!! 💓💓💓💓
I love her!! She’s sooo relaxed and soooo real.
Viola is literally the most inspirational human I’ve ever known
VIola is so real! Love her. And such a brilliant actress too!
I love Viola beyond words. And I LOVE her laugh! 😂😂😂😂😂
i love Viola's reaction after Jimmy asked "do you want me to do this?" (contact Michelle) 8:46
Viola is Beauty, Elegance and Grace
Loved this whole interview from start to finish. The laughs between Viola and Jimmy were genuine. She tells some great stories and the faces she makes are hilarious. Would love to be on a zoom call with her just to see her whip the wig off!😂🤣😂
The woman's a spell-binding genius of an actress!
She's as real as it gets!!
Jimmy & Viola should always laugh together!
Ikr, this was so wholesome and fun! I love the genuine laughter after the Melania comment, lol

Islam is the only true religion. I want you to go to paradise after death and be protected from hell. But for that you have to accept Islam as your religion.
Wow love her energy! Great chemistry between these 2 and what an actress !
Love Ms Viola such a true queen in her craft!👍🏾
she's so freaking amazing..her interviews are always sooo good!!!!
That laugh is giving Angela Basset 🥰🥰🥰
I love this woman so much!! She is such a fantastic actress, so funny, and just seems like a good person. Please don't wreck my image if you have dirt on her, I couldn't handle it.
I never knew how funny she was. She has certainly accomplished a lot, what a lovely lady.
She is absolutely one of my favorite actresses.
I love how Jimmy is laid-back with his guests and just having fun.
Her laugh is adorable
the most real guest i have ever seen or heard.
Thanks for the love, Viola! We're happy to hear that your family is using Greenlight. P.S. You can add store-specific spend controls so Genesis can learn how to spend wisely at Starbucks 😉
Annalis Keating remains the best character embodied by Viola Davis
Viola is a gift to our world!
That laugh 😂😂😂😂 she is a diamond 💎
Viola is such a gem and hilarious as Genesis' Mom!
She lights up when she talks about her husband. I love that.
You know what's so strange. When she acts she comes across as scary and intimidating. But in real life she so soft and bubbly. She seems like she'd be very cool to hang with.
*I first saw her in HTGAWM and I have no words,genuinely*
Love Viola, amazing and believable actress 😍🤎
That laugh is an absolute rocker, she is simply wonderful 💖
I agree with all of the positive comments below. It's so great when the host and the guest work together like they've been a team for years already. A lot of good laughs here. This Jimmy is underrated.
Her husband sounds hilarious! 🤣
Gorgeous woman and so talented.
She deserves an Oscar for each interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Viola, one of the top 10 actors/actresses, she’s incredible. Really enjoyed her as Amanda Waller, hoping to see her again in season 2 of Peacemaker.
Ms Viola is such a delight. Luv seeing her get interviewed!
She is so beautiful. I love the monologs of late night shows. Hate celebrity interviews but could not click fast enough on this video.
I'm going to watch just for her! She's a brilliant actor 👏
Viola, is by far one of the greatest actress of are time. Glad to see her as the person she is. Just a funny person. God bless her .
Love Viola, she is down to earth and relatable!
She is adorable !
She has an awesome personality
This was such a fun interview. (If you don’t follow her on instagram, you should! She post some great stuff.
She's brilliant. Fun interview and Jimmy was cool too.
I love her. I met her at our high school Central falls high school RI she is very kind and one of the best actriz in the world.
Viola is a treasure. Such a wonderful person!
Miss Davis is a magnificent actor. I loved her in "Widows".
Viola is hilarious. I always enjoy her interviews.
OMG she is a National Treasure…..Pure Gold 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣❤️
She needs her own show
No, she’s an actress
@@fopifopfopifop3540 many actresses have shows.
“you know, you shouldn’t listen to certain girlllllllzzzzzzzz”😂😂 i love her so much- shes an amazing mom❤️🔥
From Colombia there is great love and admiration for this beautiful woman, a faithful fan and follower of her work and effort applauding all her achievements, my greatest admiration for you viola
Beautiful; I really love her and for the clips I’ve been seeing I’m 1000% sure they picked the right actress to play the wonderful Michelle Obama I really admire both of them ♥️
she's a producer...think she picked herself
Wow! not for one minute did she ever act like she thought I'm so beautiful I'm so wonderful aren't I just precious... she was just her wonderful self. I've never seen her in an interview before. I sense she is a deep person who knows all about this crappy world but still loves to laugh in spite of it all. what a treasure! ❤
I just LOVE Viola Davis! Looking forward to reading her autobiography.
Golly gee! I sure do love her! ❤️😍🥰
I love Viola. She speaks to all of us women over 50 and some.
I love how her personality just shines through naturally.
I adore her ! She’s everything I imagined she’s be.
I absolutely love her!!! She's a talented actress and is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! MELANATED QUEEN!!! SHE'S GLOWING!!!
I just want to listen to her laugh all the time!
This woman is a natural… and a national treasure.
Love her energy and massive talent. Every teen should do some sort of customer service job-retail, coffee shop, waitress. Develop those social skills that will help you later in life.
Jimmy & Viola are delightful; this interview was fabulous. 🤣😂💞💐
I swear I will watch anything with viola davis in it. I would love to see her alongside Whoopi Goldberg ,Wanda Sykes. I also would love to see her guest host.
Holy crap Viola is hilarious lmao. I loved her on HTGAWM as Professor Annalise Keating, but she seemed so serious on the show that I would've never guessed how fun she is in real life.
Hilarious loved violas expressions.
What a commanding presence, commanding voice, commanding appearance! A huge personality - Viola Davis!!! So well suited to her choice of profession!
Love love that color combo against her skin tone! Just beautiful 💚 💙
The way she says "leg warmers are back, did you know that?" out of a sudden lmao gotta love her
