Dolly is a national treasure.

Amber Nelson true true true true

[@Septembersend34]

She is! She is so precious. More than diamonds. Rather have her then diamonds

[@minnipearls3633]

Amber Nelson I agree fully!!!

[@PietMichaelPfaff]

Haha I was thinking exactly this! Much love!

[@bamboleine7326]

@Amber Nelson you are a national treasure, stupid racist woman, go to the hell, racist!!

[@ThebadMAN747]

Seriously... I don't think anyone could ever dis like her... She seems very kind and down to earth.

[@bradyryan5105]

She truly is

[@darrin81128112]

Dislike i hate that fake bitch. I had a uncle who was a tech at the Grand ol opery. And said she is a straight up bitch

I know, if only people could be like that nowadays.

[@simplesandy]

[@WakandaBabe]

I love Dolly Parton. She is smart, talented and doesn't give a damn what people think!

[@rebeccashields2265]

yep

[@bgmeadows6085]

Exactly. That's why people love it.

[@lovelorn5874]

Her laugh is gorgeous

[@ladycheyne5607]

I bet they had more love and happiness in that little shack than a millionaire in a mansion.

[@slowcloudorca5071]

depends on the millionaire, how much love and happiness do you think goes on in Dolly's modern home? By herself she seems to have enough love and happiness for a crowd of folks, and she's for sure a millionaire

[@ladycheyne5607]

Slowcloud Orca You're right!

[@TheCosmicRabbit]

amen to that

[@FunkyFitnesswithLA]

Lady Cheyne ain't that the truth! You could tell her family had hard times financially but having all those brothers and sisters must have been love overload

[@AndySaenz]

When you have less, you have more appreciation for everything you've got. When you have more, you tend to take things for granted.

[@ethantran8492]

Dolly Is The Cutest Thing She Has An Amazing Personality!

[@ethantran8492]

Her Story Is Amazing How She Was Poor But Now Look At Her.

[@beautybybrookn]

Ethan Tran so true! 😍

[@sundance81677]

Ethan Tran That and the fact they were dirt poor and she always talks of her childhood with happy memories.

[@TehBirddCage]

Wow, I've never actually seen her in an interview before...she's a super likeable person, and it's hard for me to guess her age being near 70

[@SunshineGirlz34]

Yeah,Dolly's great,I love her..she's like that in every interview,a super cool likeable person..I once knew someone that knew her,and they said that she was like that all the time..with her what you see is what you get..I LOVE that I wish more people were like her :D

[@jamesbradford626]

She's also covered in tattoos! Look at her hands, see how she has flesh toned gloves on? It's a body stocking under her clothes because if the arms of her jacket accidentally slid up too much you'd see them!

[@betsyclarke5153]

My favorite quote of hers is "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!" She's a hoot.

[@tabitha3370]

***** She is not covered in tattoos. If you knew anything about Dolly Parton you would know that when she was younger she was in a fire. Her hair is completely gone and her body is scared from head to toe. But good try. www.wlwt.com/entertainment/dolly-parton-admits-she-has-tattoos/25954708

[@SunshineGirlz34]

***** And so what if she is?What does that matter?I personally don't like tattoos,but I think they look good on other people..and unlike some people,I don't go by whether a person is covered in tattoos or not,I go by what kind of person they are and how they treat others..the body is only a shell for the soul after all :)

[@laurasshow16]

Gosh, she seems genuinely nice...classy and gracious

[@MichaelDelaware]

She has always been a class act.

[@abcabc-sn7kw]

so true!

[@funnyusername8635]

Dolly Parton is so charming. I love seeing interviews with her.

[@Killdoomkid]

I love watching her interviews! She's charming, graceful, smart, incredibly funny and her voice is just lovely! She and Jimmy have a cute chemistry together too. I'd love to see her back on the show again.

[@johnajda]

A poor, humble childhood, raised by a resourceful and loving Mom and wonderful siblings who all did their best with what they had have produced an absolute gem of a person (with a strong and extremely likable character) in the form of Dolly Parton.

[@dogbsas]

oh Dolly, so adorable!

[@amyclifton00]

Ikr

[@aarohansharma4551]

I literally didn't even know this person, but she's very adorable. And her high-pitched laugh is like a baby's

[@lipby]

I could listen to Dolly Parton speak all day long. Love her voice and accent.

[@jennifersimonsmeier5882]

Dolly is adorable. Always happy and positive.

[@pippins_abode]

She is a gift to this world.

[@bluegrassreb1]

I live in Sevierville. She IS DOLLY!!! She has put so much of her money back into her community/our community. LOVE HER! Last year Gatlinburg got almost , wiped out by fire. DOLLY arrived to help. She is so much more than show biz...

[@vidmedina7711]

I love Dolly so much. Always smiling, laughing, so down to Earth, and a kind heart. Just an amazing woman.

[@AleahKCH]

That was kinda snotty of Jimmy to talk about her house like that. He's just like "HAHAHA YOU WERE SO POOR!" I mean, she took it well, but still...

[@klogan004]

He didn't say poor he said PORCH!

[@mathesar]

I didn't hear him say that anywhere in this video? I believe you might of misheard the Porch comment mentioned by klogan004.

[@AleahKCH]

klogan004, 73mathesar both of you missed the point. I did hear PORCH. I was saying that the context of his words to her was that of someone snotty, of someone who didn't grow up the same way she did.

[@mathesar]

AleahKCH Oh I've been watching Fallon for years he laughs at everything lol, guess I got used to it, I think it's more of a nervous habit of his during interviews.

[@Fmpt29]

I took it more as "wow you came all the way from this" as in a very humble beginnings. Not haha you were poor. I guess we all took it a different ways.

[@ThisJustin96]

I'm not a fan of her music it's just not for me but Dolly is the cutest little thing

[@osahju914]

Justin Coleman You can appreciate her song writing through covers; like Whitney Houston’s “I will always love you”

[@dorenemellene2201]

I love the way she said: You should try it on. She's so awesome, and sweet. I've always loved her voice.

[@rainbowwarri0r]

A friend of mine who had interviewed her so many times for the Knoxville paper over the past 30 years asked her once, "what do you hate about interviews?" She responded,"they always ask the same stuff. After all these years its always about the boobs, being poor, porter, Dollywood. Always the same." I watched an interview from 1996 and an the above, the same

[@megansalt]

good point. it's hard to watch the interviews from the 80s where they ask her such sexist and unprofessional questions, even from female interviewers. I'm glad that she's getting more respect for her talents and wisdom these days.

[@MeriScrapper13]

They're both so lovable and such good sports. I can't help smiling.

[@shadenboony2326]

I love her laugh it's too adorable

[@PaulaDeenyoutubeyall]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[@xxXXxx-te2if]

[@shannonolson2066]

I'd honestly enjoy having Dolly Parton as a grandmother. Just sit there intrigued on the floor and listen to all her stories about the"old days" and her many lessons and then probably bake a cake or something. idk sounds pretty dam wonderful to me

[@daysleeper724]

I met Dolly in person once while on vacation in TN. It was an accident..I wasn't looking for her..but there she was..and she was super nice and sweet. She gave me a hug=)

[@scyllaandcharybdis]

+Soxxielou x Indeed and her voice is soft like velvet... soft like warm butter.. so beautiful... she symbolises what every guy secretly wants but are just too shy to admit it, a woman with big boobs, big hair and long nails.

[@kimward4535]

I can remember watching her on TV in the 70's and just being amazed at her beauty. She is still such a beaut! One can only hope to age that gracefully.

[@scribe712]

You do realize she's had plastic surgery right? So she's aged gracefully with a LOT of help.

[@nikolaitereshchenko6672]

scribe712 she's proud if her surgeries too

[@pernell666]

Age gracefully? It's called surgery,makeup, wigs and more surgery. Has nothing to do with aging gracefully.
