Stood behind her at a bank in the Upper East Side. She is the NICEST lady. She was so sweet and accommodating to the tellers and everyone at the bank. So polite and genuine.

[@WweFan93x]

I cant believe shes almost 70!!!!! 😯😯😯 Shes amazing

[@bethanyhudson9127]

She's the best women ever!!!

[@leannepaxton5012]

Wow, she is truly magnificent. A very classy lady.

[@frankie5862]

I never comment on guests wardrobe, but she’s a classy lady, and looks fantastic.

[@dragoncurveenthusiast]

I don't watch many of the interviews on this show, but Christine Baranski... how could I not?

[@stellashepherd844]

Dragon Curve Enthusiast Me too. I usually just watch the monologue but couldn’t resist her.

[@Rainy-In-The-Desert]

Whaaaat?! You gotta watch the rest of the episodes! Stephen Colbert is incredible and wildly entertaining!

[@Supremeteamcaptain]

Jayme Ann entertaining to you because all he does is validate your political views 😂

[@Rainy-In-The-Desert]

@@Supremeteamcaptain Funny, but no.

[@marmeecruz6191]

Love her; so lovely, so intelligent, so articulate, so elegant, so classy…and a great actress, too!

[@ageofatheism6638]

She is not that smart if she has to take a course to find out the answer to the meaning of life is 42.

[@marmeecruz6191]

@@ageofatheism6638 That would be a course on PHILOSOPHY, and who among us really know the meaning of life?

[@SheilaR.08]

@@ageofatheism6638 That you apparently imagine yourself to have all the answers to such an unknowable question makes you seem dumb.

[@lucasalexanderw]

She is one of the best, love her in everything she does.

[@globalwarmhugs7741]

She never disappoints. Ladylike with a sharp edged wit. Perfection.

[@todorvelikov]

Very talented, beautiful and charming... I enjoy watching her performing!

[@TheJoaneD]

I can't get enough of Christine Baranski. She is wonderful in all she does. Absolutely love love her!

[@cscottzimnamaste]

Her outfit is as stunning as she is luminous.

[@KCNwokoye]

I love Christine, she's simply sublime.

[@happydeedee2441]

Okay!!! She was amazing in the old "Cybil" show. She would have me on the floor screaming with laughter! Peace friend.🌹❤

[@wallissimpson5414]

That was her first television role, right?

[@bonesonstones1]

I LOVE her so much. If I'm only have this cool and graceful when I'm her age, I will have made it.

[@TheNykademos]

Half=1/2. Two halves make a whole. "Have" is a helping verb. Eg: "If I have a half of a gallon of milk, I could get another half of a gallon of milk put the two halves together, and as we all know...that's how we get whole milk"

[@windwoman3549]

I do, too! She’s so talented & classy. I only wish she’d stop with the face plumpers NOW - before she starts edging into Joan Rivers caricature territory. Christine doesn’t need all that crap, anyway (& neither did Joan.) The Michael Sheen penis story? I would have paid dearly to see her explain it as Sheldon Cooper’s mom. Can you imagine?

[@dasstigma]

Well, you already lost, check your grammar, please!

[@bonesonstones1]

@@dasstigma My God, you are pathetic. Not only did you feel the need to repeat someone else's correction of what is so very obviously a typo, you are also confused what grammar entails.

[@dasstigma]

@@bonesonstones1 You are wrong in three points here. I may be pathetic, but at least I know how to write. Have a great day :)

[@JustKweku]

I ADORE this woman 😍😍

[@lindas.martin2806]

She looks great, fantastic outfit, funny, warm, smart, great actress! Thank you for being you!

[@SaraMaq]

I loved her in the good wife / the good fight. She carries both shows imo

[@seanbrown8920]

O O don’t forget Cybil !

[@stellashepherd844]

O O I agree. Her character was the reason to watch The Good Wife.

[@dragoncurveenthusiast]

I've seen neither and want to change that. Would you recommend starting with the good wife or can I step in at the start of the good fight?

[@sdfkjgh]

Dragon Curve Enthusiast: Start with The Good Wife, as The Good Fight is a continuation of the story of some of the characters from the first show.

[@akritigoel7768]

Oh Yes ❤️

[@juliaconnell]

I *ADORE* Christine Baransk so much

[@teeemm4594]

I love her in comedic roles, Cybill was hilarious. She outshines any actress she co stars with.

[@kyivstuff]

Yay The Good Fight is back!!! Finally!!!

[@wildlifeartistgj]

Christine Baranski is a class act and one beautiful woman. They don't call many actresses sirens anymore but she is definitely one.

[@wallissimpson5414]

She really glows.

[@Rainy-In-The-Desert]

LOVE her outfit, she looks fantastic! What a woman, she's incredible!!

[@frankie5862]

She’s taking a course in Oxford on the Duke Of Wellington and the Battle Of Waterloo, Mama Mia!!........an ABBA reference, and Stephen totally missed it !! 😂😂

[@sweetboo1022]

Oh my gosh I missed it until I saw your comment and I should be ashamed of myself because the number of times I have watched both of those movies is ridiculous. I'm obsessed with Christine Baranski. If I could laugh like her I think I would own the world!

[@nicster0808]

Well done! I missed it too.. Thnx!

[@jojoba11]

Queen Baranski!! Love her!!

[@pixiecatgmailcomSmith]

I loved her on Cybill

[@suzawilo]

That's where I first started to notice her.

[@ablejack3]

The Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle is a non-profit private club founded in 1895. It is the oldest Polish American organization in Western New York and is the oldest surviving Polish library in Buffalo. The library holds about 12,000 volumes with 400 hand-copied plays.

[@daleydoodoo]

Beauty on the inside and out 😍

[@pampoovey6722]

She really is a smart classy act. Have been following her career since Cybil. Love her.

[@NotEnoughBooks]

Such a lady, a dame, a classic throwback.

[@neerajamb]

There’s something so royal and classic about her! Love her

[@KENNECTED1]

I've loved her since the Cybil show. MaryAnn was a hoot! She was f*ckin' hilarious in Bad Moms Christmas!

[@kevaunthesunflower]

Omg, an ICON! 👑✨

[@bunchoffuckingbullshit5482]

She's amazing!! LOVE her on "Big Bang Theory" (and everything else she's been in)!!

[@blendonator]

She does not age! 😊

[@michelekett1064]

Age is a state of mind!

[@notroll1279]

Well, that can be helped by surgery...

[@crybaby373]

Awesomeness is the word that comes to mind when I see and hear Queen Baranski talk 👑🙌🏻🙏🏻👌🏻

[@happydeedee2441]

The one and ONLY (and most fabulous) Christine Baranski!!! I have loved her since that "Cybill" show...she was brilliant, and too-too funny. Peace friend. 🌹❤

[@PalmurcioWorld]

She should narrate audiobooks, what a mesmerizing, classy and articulate voice

[@karabellaellaellaella]

Love her!!! Amazing woman. Very inspiring ❤️

[@Coyoteyiphowl]

She looks beautiful, and so much charisma....

[@TinaTr84]

I always liked Diane way more than Alicia, so I'm beyond excited about The Good Fight.

[@NNNN-nh9sl]

Can't wait to see season 4!!!!

[@fiona6872]

She's the BEST.

[@JonBlondell]

Such a wonderful talent! She's great in everything she does.

[@buenaenriquez8424]

She's so good, she deserved all the awards she got.

[@Nebarus]

What a lovely, talented lady :)

[@lilnervous]

Thanks Christine. Bowfinger was amazing.

[@tcampcup262]

Loved her in Bowfinger. She is such a versatile actress.

[@ronanrogers4127]

She seems like such a gentle character. So easy to listen to.

[@mrdfac]

Wonderful!

[@chichonete]

This woman is amazing!

[@amberlance3221]

that moment when her character revealed that Christmas light gun on The Grinch

[@422katieleigh]

“Your tactics work and I am happy to become you.” What a great line.

[@soupcon4331]

One of our very best! 💙💙💙

[@lmsavy2935]

wooooooooohoooo Christine Baranski..........loved watching her for years! Trans guy Lee, Richmond, VA

[@AnishaAyrgaYaagyavalki]

So classy!!💖

[@DragonSamurai182]

Stephen should already know the answer to the meaning of life. It’s 42.

[@redblack5480]

Surprised he didn't mention that. We were all waiting.

[@Gypsy415]

What a gorgeous outfit! Nice to see more women on the show not dressed for a pole dance.

[@rockubtzer]

I loved her in The Night We Never Met

[@dojasibrator7187]

Our lovely Hessonite.

[@Seetiyan]

I've been watching The Good Fight and I must admit that I am falling for this woman.

[@citygirl8181]

I LOVE the Good FIght! So worth it!

[@HorseMuse]

Love her in all she does....and she knows Braco too! Class act all around!

[@dorothytenute41]

I love that show, The Good Fight, so good

[@Jayeeyee]

0:22 Holy carp.. for a moment there it looked like the both of them were reeling in for a puckery smooooch.

[@kunstderfugue]

It's happened to Colbert before and he usually publicly apologizes to his wife, so I bet he thought twice this time around.

[@deborahoneill3777]

She is one the most talented and gifted performers... a true American treasure.

[@Canuckmom128]

Damn ! She must have a portrait of herself aging in an attic, somewhere. The woman does not age. When you can be totally convincing as anything from a sinister character to a resident of "Whoville", you've got acting chops.

[@SuperKing604]

Well she does look like a old lady and being in hollywood means shes going to be good looking and maybe she got work done.

[@MTMF.london]

@Element Air Even if she has had work done it is very subtle - like her better self - unlike some actresses (or actors) who's done so much work on them, they look ridiculous.

[@thechieffect]

I love you Christine ❤️

[@Czechbound]

She was great in BOWFINGER, an underrated classic !

[@gbtekk8966]

First saw her in The Bird Cage. She ages like wine...

[@TinaTr84]

This woman is a sublime actress.

[@whatsina1]

Great singing and dancing actress..

i respect approximately twelve people on this planet and christine baranski is one of them

Stephen really ought to have Michael Sheen on, he's delightful.

[@myrarolston]

I love my mom

[@cl6998]

I would like to be her when I grow up. 😍😍😍

[@enriqueali]

A class act. A lesson in how to be quietly confident without being cocky, and exercising self- control without becoming uptight.

[@annickbrennen8779]

She is so classy!

[@bridgettealley9421]

YES! Great movie! She was so awful in that movie, she was perfect!

She was great in the Birdcage.

[@spookmineer]

She's absolutely right.

[@tselengbotlhole750]

Leonard's mom!! You were nasty to Leonard!!! Why!?? 🤣🤣🤣
