kinda expect Phoebe to turn to the camera at some point and be like "no one's asked me a question in 45 minutes" lol
Omg sameee
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂👌
spot on with this comment oh boy
LOL. I was looking for this comment !
whoever decided to put phoebe waller-bridge and natasha lyonne in the same room wanted me dead
Katy Miles I knowwwwwwwww
i literally teared up reading your comment because i’ve never heard something so true
But did you die? :D
THOSE WERE MY EXACT WORDS
Dream team 🤩
All these women are like the different results of a personality quiz
Hilarious
tiffany haddish is the dumb one
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the shy
Natasha Lyonne is the smart one
Alex Borstein is the funny one
Jane Fonda is the boss
Maya Rudolph is the outrageous one
Regina Hall is the composed one
.
@@aKaCrowley nah....phobe the shy ? lol shes the cool friend with quirk humor one
@Madison Burns cuz she dumb first, funny 2nd
J E yes because it couldn’t get more irrelevant than some of the top current tv shows.. twat
Phoebe and Natasha would be such a power duo if they’d work together
kinda expect Phoebe to turn to the camera at some point and be like "no one's asked me a question in 45 minutes" lol
@San Junipero Unrelated but your name and profile picture? 👌😄 I love it!
@@laurawe9055 Thank you!
@@sanjunipero5332 Makes it clear that you listen to girl in red ;P haha
Fingers crossed that maybe they will one day
anyone else waiting for Phoebe to address the camera and tell us what she thinks fleabag style
🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
Chaela Tordillo fleabag♥️
YASSS!
That would've so funny
I wanted so much for that to happen
"You're all at the peaks of your careers"
Jane Fonda: Bish wut
PWAHAHAHA!
lmao
LOL, yeh. But it is a peak, in a way, to be working so much at this age, as a woman, I think. Of course it's not the same as it was in the 70s when she won Oscars one after the other, and she was probably the most acclaimed actress before Meryl.
Tooty Futts mmmmmmmm, actually, it is a complement to Jane. She peaked before, took a break, and she has peaked again. It's better than saying she's going downhill or plateauing.
@@hyacinthdibley2420 That is a good point. It's a peak then a valley then back up again. Almost no one stays on top for 50 years, right?
"I do comedy because.."
"I can be with Lily Tomlin"
_Heart be_ *FUCKING STILL*
The only valid answer there.
😭😭😭
I need for Phoebe and Natasha to work together. I'm not sure how well they would mesh, but I need to know what the results are.
Gio it will be amazing .
they seem to take to each other pretty immediately and i love them both it's gotta happen ;-;
It's gonna be British and American humour galore
Gio I’d like to see Phoebe, Natasha, and JANE make something. Omg That would be great. And the three of them seemed to have a really good connection, especially Natasha to Jane. She had a very apparent reverence for her. Which was cool 👍
probably glorious chaos
I could listen to Natasha talk all day.
YES LOVE HER
Literally thought this every time she started talking
same.
Her voice, her mannerisms, her wit...she's fascinating to watch and listen to.
i wanna so walk with her
"I write women who don't give a shit because I'm teaching myself how to be one."

Teach us Phoebe! Cuz I wanna go there.
I’m screamin
❤️
has anyone else noticed how this is a roundtable where everyone just listens to each other and no-one tries to steal the limelight?
...I wonder why.
qwert zuiopü Drew Barrymore’s not there. I like her but I just watched hers from last year and it was SO loud. Also I think most actresses are more well-behaved when Jane Fonda is around. There are less people clawing for the limelight and more interested in listening and thinking about the questions.
@@np1114 Drew ruined that session for me, her point of view was so dated and safe. Thank god for these women.. much more enjoyable. I do miss Brosnahan from last year, she was a delight. Also the Blackish actor.
venus14 yes Tracee Ellis Ross (Blackish) and Brosnahan are so well spoken and fun to watch
@@np1114 yes!! Those two and Molly Shannon were my favs
N P or the one with lena dunham she just kept interrupting and not letting anyone else talk about their problems when they were talking about being a minority
jane saying she does comedy to be with lily is so cute ❤ i love their friendship so much
Interesting choice not to have any funny people on when it's a comedy roundtable.
JxJxJxJx have you SEEN Fleabag???
@@daejay2800 The trailer didn't make me laugh once. Others have told me it's pretty bad and as one can also suspect from the trailer it's degenerate unintelligent comedy appealing to the worst in young women.
JxJxJxJx it’s amazingly written and never been done before
@@daejay2800 Maybe for a reason it seems :s
i actually feel like I am hallucinating all of these women together
Lady Oblivion yasss
lmaoo
What women? This was a video about puppy's😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
Natasha's vocabulary just added 10 years to my life
There is no line in Fleabag that I didn't love. Even the silences were impactful.
It's really brave to say (especially in the US, which hyperventilates about constant growth), "A plateau is fine. I'm happy with where I am and what I've done. I'm not hungry." Loved this.
I think every most places are like this, places with bigger populations would see it more like India and china,, and smaller places would experience it less, from what I can tell.
Agree with this
"hyperventilates abt constant growth" is an accurate way to phrase it!
This roundtable is my tribe. I am spiritually in tune with every single one of them, is this what "woman empowerment" is supposed to feel like? My God, this is glorious.
I hope a lot of young girls get influenced by these powerful and wise women!

@@christina6335 well it only took you 45 minutes to come up with that "hilarious" remark.
@@markallen4356 You're not in the arena, you are hiding in anonymity. You're not being brave, so this will be my final response to you. Brenee Brown said you can can keep that as a gift, share it as you wish! #FarewellfromCuckooLand
I feel like Natasha Lyonne is just playing herself in different ways. She's so versatile and yet still so HER.
I just love how Tiffany Haddish begins to explain the kind of show she is writing and basically perfectly describes “The Marvelous Ms. Maisel”
Alex's face is like "Okayyy so she hasn't seen the show I'm on at all. Sitting quietly now, being polite."
the way they cut to alex cracks me up
maya talking about having to learn to get through the day without crying or feeling like an "other" as a black woman and a poc is so powerful
Julianne what’s the time stamp?
TwizzWhizz11 around the 9 min mark
@@kg356 you are lame, incel.
@Peter A lot of Americans regard mixed people as black so
Right? I immediately shared in her memories, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting many women who could relate to that.
Natasha is such a wonderful breath of fresh air. She is exactly what Hollywood needs, someone with a personality worth experiencing.
I have loved her all of her life!
Well, she’s been in Hollywood for almost 30 yrs…same personality from the beginning. She’s a real one
I remember her from dennis the menace of all things 😂 i’ve had a crush on her since but now her mind is so much more attractive to me than even her luscious curly hair 😅
"I grew up without a mom, so I felt like a female impersonator all my life."
- Maya Rudolph
@1:11:21
Who raised her
@@umchinagirard1800 her father
Her mom was Minnie Ripperton RIP...... she passed when Maya was very young
That's sad :(
So she basically felt like a transgender
Tiffany Haddish pitching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel right in front of someone ON that show.
William Rozario ok so I wasn’t the only one who thought that lol but I would def want a show about her in this time. I would fucking watch it
I was just waiting for Alex to say something. I think she didn't want to spoil her joy hahahaha But yeah, it's basically Mrs. Maisel nowadays
YES! I was so uncomfortable on that part cuz it was clear they realized what was going on but no one said anything
She looked pretty stoned, i didn't even notice till about 40:44
Maybe that's why lol
right?! wasn't her only awkward moment either! 53:56 Love how the rest of them maintained their dignity by leaving her hanging on her hypothetical "can I get a high-five" and the host trying to move on with her inflected "what about the rest of you guys"
@15:57
Tiffany Haddish: "Me and Trevor Noah?"
Maya Rudolph: "Trevor Noah? Yeah?"
Tiffany Haddish: "Yeah.. I would like that... put it out in the universe"
I can't stop laughing at her face expressions!!!!
She finally made it official! She had that interview with him and the chemistry was friggin incredible! I need them to get a move on that ship!💖
@PurelyAfrican wow, very unhood rat of you. She's a nice person for what we can all see, you may not like her personality but, damn.
He's single now, so....
@@silverio7 She didn't say anything a man doesn't say. If Trevor or Michael said something like that in the same way I'm sure people would take it as a joke as many did here. Well I personally don't see anything wrong, can't speak for others.
@@BlackGirlMarvel I see nothing wrong neither, i'm saying that a man today say that in an interview he is out of business. Even if it's a joke
I really appreciate how Maya said she is not a good solo writer and needs to bounce ideas off of others. That's nothing to be ashamed of, and it's not a detriment. I definitely feel like I'm at my best when in a collaborative or at least collaboration-supportive environment. Once you can realize that about yourself, you can set yourself up for success. And you should always acknowledge collaborators when there is a success. No project succeeds because of one person.
Exactly! That’s exactly why I love her so much! She’s so honest and relatable! And don’t even get me started on how funny she is 😂!!
Regina Hall is so beautiful. She has more to give. Come on casting directors, get your stuff together! Also I wish I could be friends with Maya Rudolph. She's a treasure.
Regina Hall is one of the coolest most underrated people out there. I grew up with Scary Movie 1&2 and she has such a special place in my heart. Big sister vibes. I was so happy to see that in real life she’s this funny and intelligent!
Right?! You could feel the tension when she was asked to explain feeling like she was on the top of one group and now at the bottom of a different group. We know what she means.
I'm a brit that really doesn't watch much American television. This is the first time I've come across her, abd tbh. I'm not that keen. She comes across abit of a snob.
I just love how Tiffany is just un-apologetically herself
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, a literal genius. Want her to return as the head writer for Killing Eve because I seriously think the show somewhat suffered from her stepping down but I know she's busy with other stuff now. Can't wait to see what she does with the new James Bond.
Yep gotta say no greater sign of her genius than how much weaker the writing got on season 2 of killing eve when she wasn’t involved
This comment's aged like a fine wine now season 3 is out. Oof.
@@tidenly Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not?! is season 3 better or worse??
@@rebeccaelliott9770 Worse in my opinion. The show's all become a bit farcical and lost any weight it had in season 1. I think keeping the threat while also being light-hearted is what Pheobe WB did so well. I'm pretty gutted because I was really wanting it to be good.
@@tidenly Oh that sucks. Well at least we have season 1's epicness to hold on to, and maybe it will improve..?
Every time Natasha talks Jane Fonda looks in awe, like that little clap she gave, melting my heart
Yesssss 💖
she is so proud of the new generation. looks like a great mum
Jane's eyes widening when Phoebe said "In the public eye, people can fuck with your words"...she was totally having flashbacks to the war.
Ohhh it ended right when the convo became so real!. Jane being so dignified and composed the whole talk, just to become so open and vulnerable and like all of us at the last second.
Bet everyone in the room could feel it! Like you're witnessing something. You don't see an icon like that open up publicly. Thank you, Jane.
I am obsessed with these roundtables, it is the only thing I care about during awards season, so Thank you.
Interesting choice not to have any funny people on when it's a comedy roundtable.
Amen dude
@@bigfan1041 Tiffany Haddish is hysterical as is Phoebe. They've all done comedic roles.
@@bigfan1041 Interesting comment. Which ladies do you think belonged there this season and from which show?
@Vincent H. she's where she is because she's well connected, not because she's particularly funny, because she's not.
This was wonderful. Tiffany Haddish 'forgetting' her purse at auditions is probably the best thing I've ever heard. I'm blown away by Phoebe Waller-Bridge's intelligence. I adore Jane Fonda's vulnerability and dignity. I need Alex Borstein to be my real life friend. Maya Rudolph is a genius. And on a shallow note, holy crap is Ms. Rudolph's gown GORGEOUS.
Ain't nothing shallow about liking a gown, friend 😊 own that. It's not shallow to like fashion.
these 2 comments are wonderfully wholesome
This group of actresses is SO perfect. And Lacey Rose killed it as a moderator.
"The evening shifts when women tell their truth." - Jane Fonda
I love our truths.
The mind of Phoebe Waller-Bridge is pure genius. Can't get enough of her.
phoebe waller-bridge most brilliant mind out there I think
Camila Reyes so true 🙌🏻
So glad she had my cousin in the second series :) Name dropping ;)
@@harrietthomas4032 as you should
She manage to have the best drama and comedy on tv today. She's phenomenal.
I had no idea who she was but I see her everywhere now lol
Two icons, Natasha Lyonne and PWB, both in teal blazers. The new power suit.
"the truth is such a joy to hear and it never fails" damn natasha
👏👏👏
I love how this is often a naturally evolving conversation, uninterrupted by the (great!) interviewer...the dynamic is so insightful and interesting to watch. Wish all the roundtables moderators would embrace this style.
Idk why but the way Jane reaches for Tiffany’s hand at the end and they smile together just warms my heart
I teared up at that moment, so sweet
I loved every second of this chat. I felt like I was sitting at the table with them. Even down to the way the audio would cross fade some of their mics during their side chats and comments. It transitions at the exact right time as my focus was being drawn from one chat to the other. I love all the honesty. So many of the experiences and realizations they point out are things I’m just now realizing in my own life. This is affirming all the work I’ve been doing to really know myself, what I care about, and what I want.
loving the soft spoken, gentle female support vibe at this table. especially juicy when they started talking about their relationship with femininity growing up at the end, wish they'd had time to talk that out more
as a person with social anxiety who especially has a hard time talking in a group, i love watching these roundtables to see how actors like natasha lyonne interact with others in a group. it's inspiring how comfortable she is and it somehow makes me more confident when talking with people.
Yes! She was so quiet for the first 10 mins or so, then immediately started letting loose and opening up. I clocked it immediately, like “hey, I do that too!”
i feel that!
Bring a buddy. Preferably an extrovert; apply as a social lubricant or buffer as needed 😉
I saw Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Maya Rudolph together and actually gasped a little. Two of my favorites ever. Hilarious goddesses. I need them to work together so badly!
And both clearly love each other
I love them, too! Initially i wouldn't have thought to pair them together, but watching this i thought they had really interesting chemistry. Id love to see them work on something together!
OMG PLEASE NEVER INCLUDE STEPHEN GALLOWAY EVER AGAIN! Everything flows so smoothly without him interrupting everyone. Also, Phoebe is a force of nature!
Interesting choice not to have any funny people on when it's a comedy roundtable.
@@bigfan1041 Umm they are all hilarious! Maya is a comedy icon at this point.
@@TalkAsSoftAsChalk Maya who?
@@bigfan1041 3dgy
Absolutely
I've been bingeing Roundtable series and wow, I must say, this is my favourite one yet! What a line up! And what an engaging discussion! Most got to actually speak with each other and and not just to the one seating next to them or across them. This is what round tables are for!
This has to be hands down one of my favorite roundtables that I have seen. I absolutely love and admire all of the women at this table and their journeys and their strength. Ughh so good
I love all these people, but Phoebe Waller Bridge is another level of talent. I cannot wait to see what she does next
Yes but also.... Natasha Lyonne.....
"We are all entitled to dropping out at some point" - This touched me. Thanks for sharing
I can rewatch this interview over and over again and I always feel like I'm watching it for the first time ! These women are so honest and interesting, it's really amazing to watch them talk to each other during an hour.
tiffany: "I haven't seen a show that's dealing with female comedians...[proceeds to talk about the entire plot of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel]"
Alex must've been biting her tongue HARD during that
she may have been referring to being a black female comedian without stating it I guess
I cringed so hard on that
Lol I thought that but I just took it as a show that would be in this time and more about her specifically so, the base might be the same but it would be a slightly different show and I’ll still watch
@Unlabelled Glass Jar you said this two months ago, so I really hope you've grown enough to know that calling a stranger 'sugar tits' is a dick move and makes you the worst type of person. It also distracts me from ur sweet ass
Phoebe Walker-Bridge is a powerhouse. She’s the real deal and she deserves all the respect and recognition she can get. What a genius she is. Every time she will speak, I’d be like taking notes haha.. also I was hoping she’d give a glance to the camera so she knows we’re there watching her ❤️ oohh and Alex Borstein is also a force to be reckoned with!!!
Natasha has the power of lighting up a room with her positive energy. She is truly amazing
What a great group of women. I was gripped the whole way through. They all had so much respect for each other. It also gave me a whole lot of new stuff to find and watch. I really want Phoebe and Natasha to write something with Maya as the lead.
I love and admire all these woman, but it would have been so sick to see Mindy Kaling on the table too! Both a comdey writer, actress, and producer who has been killing it for like the past 15 years. She was the only woman AND person of colour who wrote for the office when it started in 2005 - she deserves so much more credit and attention
I thought the same thing.
Mindy Kaling is amazing! The participants for these roundtables are often selected based on the winners of a recent award show--I'm guessing the 2019 Emmy's for this one. Mindy is in the 2014 Emmy roundtable.
Well this aged like milk
Viggo Mortensen naked Jane Fonda " What is the name of it, I wanna go and see it" 🤣😂
OHTHECHITCHAT lol that was hilarious
I caught that😂
What’s the time stamp?
@@yasmins3119 19:50
Hey, ladies dig the Vig
Tiffany talking about how she's not yet seen a show about "a female comedian navigating the men's world of mainstream comedy" while Alex Borstein from Maisel was sat right there??? MIND BLOWING.
Well, If she hasn't seen it then that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's not a shame to not know
It was hilarious lol
@@Stopfollowingmeplz8 Thank you, it's okay. I've never seen it I know it exist but haven't watched it.
Yeah. I was laughing because it’s obvious she doesn’t know the plot of the show. As she was listing off the things she wants to see I was just thinking of all the ways Maisel has addressed it.
That Alex lady is racist anyways who cares
This was one my my favorite roundtables ever, so much talent, wisdom, and beauty... Makes you wanna watch each of her shows (at least the ones you haven't seen already). Thanx, THR!!!
I love how Tiffany basically describes wanting to create a show that perfectly describes Mrs. Maisel while sitting at a table with Alex Borstein...
Natasha Lyonne talks like your local dealer lol
Well, she was one, at school :D
and it still sounds nice.
Phoebe is so underrated. Fleabag is a masterpiece!
Funny how less than 100000 people watched it though.
Underrated? By whom?
Stoo using Underrated to describe actors who have won multiple awards
@@craftistic82 fr
This is the best episode. I took notes on how to be an amazing woman,friend,heroes to each other. Right on ladies. Much respect to all of you. You all have opened my eyes to so many conversations to have with my circle. Thank you.
@37:18 Phoebe Waller-Bridge says "No"' but she nods 'Yes'.
Her inner desire creeping out with the sensible answer she always had prepared.
I think she really wants to do another season but she knows that it had a perfect end in season 2.
As much as I want Fleabag to return, I sort of understand why she says she won't do it again.
Huge respect to you, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, you genius!!
Natasha is one of kind actress, she is so authentic
At first when I clicked the thumbnail and realized it was over an hour long, I thought "Oh hell to the no. Ain't no way I'm watching this whole thing!" and then the next thing I knew, the interviewer was thanking all the ladies for joining the discussion. This was good, so glad I stuck around for the entire piece.
I died when Tiffany describe the show she wants to make that she doesn’t think has ever been done before… and then proceeds to describe the whole plot of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel!! Alex Borstein’s face!! 😂😂😂
This was a truly enjoyable experience to watch. Multiple generations, diverse backgrounds but so respectful, honest, great depth and moments of genuine kindness. Jane has been authentic her life, paved the way for many others. Natasha is such a joy.
These women play cultural icons, archetypes for all of humanity.
This creates multi dimensionally relevant, keen
observations of the feminine condition.
So worth the time.
Real wisdom to live by.
Interesting choice not to have any funny people on when it's a comedy roundtable.

are you a wiccan, lady?
@@bigfan1041 You keep saying that. Who would be your choice?
@@bigfan1041 it's more of a table for discussion regarding their careers/ experience in the industry, no need to shove your worldview onto everything. there's a difference between acting within this genre for film vs being a stand alone comic.

Goddammit! >
She really looks good

@@TNDCBaby LOL Hey. bless her surgeons
@@MelquanKatz yeah. At first it was scary looking but I'm noticing that if they suffer for a few years it softens up and looks way better.

Thank you for this project! Love how they slowly open up and we get to learn, laugh, tear up, and be inspired.
Wow, thanks for this! I love them all! So accomplished in each of their unique ways.
"Nobody's making a show about a female stand up comic"
Alex Borstein: 😐
asapound yeah but haddish’s will be very very different hers will also be about family! So no one is doing that! Very different!
@@AdamC2013 Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is all about her dealing with her family and marriage while trying to pursue standup comedy as a woman. I'm not saying it won't be different, but every storyline Haddish brought up had already been done in Maisel. It was rude of her not to have watched at least some of Maisel to get to know a bit more about her fellow interviewees.
Sebastian Ochoa Mendoza I was being sarcastic
@@sebastiano728 Do you really think they all sat and watched The Last OG? Seriously doubtful. MMM is also a period piece, it is set in the past. Tiffany was essentially talking about making a TV show about her life as a comedian now. Both being female comedians would be where the similarities ended.
a. I love how Natasha calls movies "pictures."
b. SHE LOST THE ROLE OF CURLY SUE?????
Yeah, calling movies, "pictures" or a "motion picture" was common back in the old days. Every now and then I hear older directors and actors say it.
but the little girl who played curly sue was amazing, so it worked out. lol
@@kuunami in Ireland and the UK, it's still called that.
Going to the pictures is the only way to say it 😂😂
Who's Curly Sue?
@@cristianacevedo178 It's a 1991 movie
OMG Maya is so adorable and honest!! I’m in love with her and Phoebe and Natasha together! They could make an amazing dark comedy trio piece.
Finally! Need to see every Phoebe moment.
I like the way Regina and Maya talk. So calming and eloquent and graceful and articulate. They have beautiful voices (timbres).
That's what ppl say to us black ppl to say " u speak well for a black person "
I understand and wasn't implying that's what u were saying.. nevertheless that's what we hear when basically we beening told we don't sound "black" which I've actually been told those exact words...
@@Oshun357 I'm sorry that you had to experience it 🧡
Regina is a Journalism graduate, you hear it through her communication (I’m one too)
Oshun357 We? I didn't take it that way at all. And I've experienced both. The timbre of your voice has nothing to do with your race. Sometimes a compliment is just a compliment. And 'we' are not a monolith - we don't all hear what you heard, no offence. ✌🏿
Thank you SO MUCH for making this happen.
This group chat is everything I needed and more. I started to take notes of what they where saying, because it gave me many many mindblowind ideas.
I interpreted Regina’s comment around 8:00 as she was at the top of the “black Hollywood list” and as of recent years, she’s ascended to a wider audience, but no longer the top choice as she competes with majority white women now. Did anyone else have this same interpretation?
Yeah it's the same with Taraji P. Henson. In the "Urban Community" she's an A'lister, but she's more of B or C in the main stream. It's kind of sad really.
Antoinette Gabriel it is, but there’s been a ton of growth these past few years. Kerry Washington kind of led the charge with scandal, then TPH, then Viola Davis, and a few more. It’s great seeing more more black and brown faces on screen.
@@SeanSpencerr Yes! Kerry Washington is my favorite. Zoe Saldana is one of my favorite actresses too (even though I think she's said some questionable things). I'm so happy that people are starting to see that ethnic people have so much talent, and that we can be in Sci-fi, action, and mainstream movies. For so long we were limited to slave movies, "hood dramas", and Tyler Perryesque movies. While they add to our culture, we can do so much more than that.
Antoinette Gabriel well spike lee has been doing way more than that for over 30 years.
Plus things like “Hood movies” are goodfellas and The Godfather for white ppl. Why are they allowed to elevate their gangster movies but black folks can’t?
I don’t like Tyler perry movies but I’ve seen plenty of similar movies by white ppl become classics.
I think we’re usually really unfair to black artists and undervalue the art that represents us but elevate others. Mainstream just means white ppl hold it up as special too and I don’t think that’s necessary for great art.
@@iansmart4158 Oh no, I totally agree. That's why I said those types of movies add to the culture because those are things we experience everyday. I just feel that we've been put in a box and the world thinks that's all we can do. Why have there only been a hand full of ethnic superhero movies? Why can't we have more sci-fi movies with ethnic characters as the lead. As a kid, and even now, I love sci-fi and it's disappointing that it's hard to find characters that look like me in mainstream movies. For me it's about representation and giving other people the opportunity to have the level of success as white actors.
Hey, you, the editor of these roundtables. I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and the amazing job that you do with these, splicing in all the relevant info and clips.
Aww
I freaking love this moderator.❤️ She let's people talk
I LOVED Maya's speaking about the relationship between saying 'no' and self-care.
Anger only hurts the one who's holding onto it. You gotta learn how to protect your soul ✨
I loved Natasha for so long but after this I love her a whole lot more!! she is so smart and articulate and so funny and GORGEOUS.
Reef sami Yes she is great!
I will never understand how is Regina Hall 48??? Where are her wrinkles man..??
Right. She looks really good and really young for 48. I can't believe she's older than Chelsea Handler. Chelsea is 44 but she looks 59....lol 😄
T Pain I thought she was like 23
That blackness man.. we're blessed
I know it's amazing. Great genes.
Melanin magic! 🎆🌟🎆
One of the best discussions I've ever seen in my life. What a group, what an interview.
Fantastic interview, thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Huge Phoebe WB fan, she has such a subtle humour.
I wish we got to hear Phoebe and Alex speak more. They're ❤️
Jane Fonda talks the least n said the most profound things. I actually cried during her how they 'relate to their characters' segment.
this is the first roundtable i actually finished and enjoyed. it was so calm and soothing, just amazing talented queens.
I’ve been waiting for this one for ages!! I love all of these women. They’re all huge inspirations to me as a young comedian :) can’t wait to watch the whole thing this evening.
Xxx
Haley Griswold best of luck to you!
I will remember the name Haley Griswold. I've got a good feeling about what life has in store for you.
This round table is Epic, and I can't wait to see what will be born of these women's inspiration.
So great and important the message Jane was expressing about our culture not valuing and hiding the sexual experiences of older women. I think it’s more interesting to hear different perspectives from your own, especially when those perspectives aren’t often the kinds easily accessible as others and I’ll have to check out that show now.
It's great. Very funny and witty.. I just turned 35 and watched it with my mid 70s mother.. We both loved it. They're just powerhouse women that you just fall in love with. Regardless of age.. But the age just adds more deliciousness
I didn't like the way Tifanjy interrupted with " oh I fall asleep on the toilet" ...okay...
this was incredibly rewarding and joyful and moving and wonderful to watch... I could relate to some things, and many other things were thought-provoking... loved the honesty and depth and revelations of this discussion! 💖
This was so wonderful to watch! I'm so excited and proud to be a woman in this pivotal moment in history. So much is changing so fast, I feel that possibilities are unlimited and these women are a demonstration of that reality.
tiffany haddish, maya rudolph AND natasha lyone, have i gone to heaven?
Lacey Rose is the best moderator for these. Nice work, Lace.
Excellent roundtable. Thank you!
I think i'm obsessed with Phoebe Waller-Bridge!
Nobody is giving praise to Jane?? Here for Jane Fonda, maya and Natasha!
