Allison Janney on Friendship with Carol Burnett & Her First Time in an Action Movie

[@florencedelvalle8145]

Can we just pause to appreciate how classy and elegant this woman looks. That color and style of dress looks fantastic on a tall woman like her and those earrings are the finishing touch . She is a funny and talented actress. Kudos to her.

[@maryroberts589]

Agree 100%! That dress is amazing! I wish she hadn't felt the need to apologize for her height since Jimmy said it made him feel like "a little man". Own it girl cuz you deserve every inch of your stature!!

[@lauraa7042]

She’s lovely.

[@graceburrell8800]

Ear rings are to distracting.

[@michaelhayden725]

Cannot agree more. Loved her so much in The West Wing. Even more impressed with how she has progressed her career in the 15 years since that show finished.

[@kitbirskovich1838]

One word: botox.I love her, but I wish she would let herself age naturally.

This was one of the funniest interviews I've ever seen! I just LOVE Allison Janney so much, in ANYTHING she does, she's definitely one of my favorite actresses.

[@geoffreytudor5674]

What a great interview! I'm becoming more and more of a fan of Jimmy's style, his lack of ego. It really allows his guests to get comfortable and leads to revelations.

[@ranmaster9447]

Lack of ego? Did Kimmel pay u for that comment? Lol. U clearly haven't watched enough of this show.

[@geoffreytudor5674]

@@ranmaster9447 Well, beyond the obvious, I guess. Everyone in showbiz, and especially comics, are self centered egotists, I'll grant you. I think I mean that Jimmy laughs at himself all the time, doesn't feel a need to dominate a conversation, and seems generally happy and supportive of his guests. Does that make more sense? (Someone should have told AJ about surfers and warming up a wetsuit, lol)

In 1979 I had a course titled "problem solving" towards a graphic design degree at the California College of Arts and Crafts. The professor, Wally Johansson, was roommates with Carol Burnett when he was a student at U C Berkeley 60 to 70 years ago. This guy was a fantastic teacher, very progressive in design and life in general. Carol is cooler than you think. You probably knew that already. Love ya Carol!
