just when i thaught she actually made a normal entrance .....she goes an does some epic air guitar!! Gotta love emma!!!

[@LeslieToronto1971]

Emma Thompson is a wonderful, crazy and hilarious lady. She's got the best sense of humour and I always wind up in stitches when she's on television.

[@reinadegrillos]

She is so bright and funny!! She is unique!!!

[@xingsheng1]

An English Rose. A wonderful actress through and through. Since watching her in "Fortunes of War", I became, and to this day, remain a huge fan.

[@joavim]

her humour is too smart for America.

[@dusya65]

I like her very, very much. She isn't afraid of looking funny, clumsy, she makes faces and gesticulates , she is really 100% anti-Hollywood, and these things make her more beautiful and charming than other Hollywood "divas"....

[@tsfbaf303]

Also no stupid plastic surgery

[@ShiningEyeBrigade]

What an amazing human she is. Such talents, wit and joy of life. I have a feeling spending an hour with her would substantially change me for the so-much-better.

[@lizclegg7556]

I think Emma Thompson really enjoys being older, it allows her to be eccentric and bonkers and she's really revelling in it.

[@ShiningEyeBrigade]

I think she has always been like this and just reveling in life. Beautiful, brilliant, eccentric, fearless. Even more impressive to be so when she was younger, when I think there is even more pressure to not do things that are “unpretty.” But she has never seemed to give a damn, and always grabbed life by the scruff, and never denied her comic brilliance.

“I love pubs and drinking”…….how great it would be to have a drinking session in a pub with Emma ❤

[@AmidTheFallingSnow]

Her interviews are always so entertaining. I love the story about her husband and sharp objects. ;D

[@akhilananda7512]

one of the treasures in the womankind.

[@love10719]

I love Emma and think she's hilarious. I "get" her humor but I don't get are elitists who generalize and cater to stereotypes. Go Emma! One of the best actresses working today.

[@mintydoodz]

i loooooooooooooooooooove her so!

[@michaelamerson8837]

I died when she said "of course this was 1875"

[@TheConciseStatement]

"Knitted our own bread". You can tell Fry, Laurie and Thompson all went to the Footlights together with the same way they play around with words and love silly sentences.

[@YVRopera]

Oh she's brilliant!

[@rosh181992]

i love her!

[@YoureJustLikeHeaven]

She rocks!!!!!

[@claytonskids6764]

Emma casually demonstrating how to BE……..open, honest and CareFree…..magic🤗✨

[@dawnburwell4876]

“Knitted our own bread” hahaha

[@estellaedwards7120]

She’s the best

[@isabellamcclymont]

Knitted our own bread

[@suesheification]

she looks like a politician in that suit, and then she does the air guitar.

[@jeremielacsaorealpoehlerba9005]

SHES JUST THE COOLEST! would it be great if she became friends with jennifer lawrence? i mean come on! shes funny, talented, beautiful and very humble so, no reason to hate her.

[@Ifelllove]

love herrrrr to death

[@MysteryFan01]

The audience does not really seem to get her jokes...

[@enydnightshade]

dynamic actress

[@the671filipino]

When she changes to a Scottish accent for comedic effect during her Scottish anecdote, and no one laughs. Haha.

[@TheGDJames]

ermm, it wasn't funny.

[@Rakim8]

TheGDJames Because they’re deadbeat’s you mean.

[@tsfbaf303]

Rakim8 Well you need at least 2 working brain cells to get ut

[@Robert-xy4xi]

Emma Thompson's mother is Scottish, and surprised she didn't mention it, when Jay mentioned his mother was Scottish.

[@simulationdisruptor6033]

How could they have turned this stunner into nanny McPhee

[@natecrean756]

She's cool

[@benzelizabeth2337]

Wow her accent

[@msliberry]

@joavim Maybe her humor is too smart for SOME Americans. I love her and think she's a riot! Please don't lump us all together. We are a little more diverse than you think.

[@pushkinkimok]

Emma Thompson at her sparkling best in front of a Jay Leno crowd: Pearls before swine.....

[@sweiland75]

We are more sophisticated than Leno fans.

[@04steen]

The audience does not get her ironic comments

[@RuiOliveiraTV]

is the damn audience dead or something?

[@laughtersandtears]

@AmidTheFallingSnow it is :) didn't know Greg was that clumsy lol by the way it's nice to see you around Jenni :D

[@sweiland75]

Jay Leno's audience is not exactly the most sophisticated.

[@passinmerrikan]

Lol, TY, not at all, this great interview was so wasted on them...

[@watrgrl89]

as much as i love jonathan ross, that was a really random clip to show.

[@laughtersandtears]

@MysteryFan01 it's a pity isn't it :( I love her jokes!!!

[@cuckoo61]

that's tragic. they have to show bits of jonathan ross (which is always really funny) to make the show funny, that's crap. but emma thompson is wonderful as always :D

[@Sims3loserTheAwkwardSimmer]

professor?

[@cakehaslayers]

Where. Where did my ovaries even GO.

[@DeniseR.2201]

Jay Leno isnt funny i watch every interview with her but prefer her when she´s on The Ellen Show or Craig Ferguson. its way better then

[@iwantorlando05]

Those poor sheep....

[@QueerSwede1]

@MysteryFan01 His audiences is as boring as him. Emma is fab ofc!

[@Querent2000]

I don't know how Jay Leno kept his job for all those years. He's a total dud.

[@startrekkin1701]

She reminds me of an older, english version of jennifer lawrence xD

[@carocar03]

I was thinking exactly the same!

[@Rakim8]

startrekkin1701 An older, funny, talented, charismatic version right?

[@Elolelo320]

classier, more clever and not cringy? then yes.. actually, fuck no.

[@theonlyantony]

What a hideous Dorito, that Leno lump ....was
