Cutting off Fran at the end mid sentence is a sin

[@davidlong1786]

Well it was a minute past lunch time so......get out of the house!

[@robincapuano8216]

Just when she was about to say something that might trigger someone.

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

Fran Lebowitz is always a delight! Thank you for having her on your show and for posting this on KZbin.

[@johngalt5411]

I love Fran too, she is indeed a delight.

[@rr7firefly]

I came to this video to hear Fran but came away from it much more impressed by Ritchie Torres. It is always heartening to hear someone like him who can make a valuable contribution to those who need his help. Who need our help.

[@deanronson6331]

Comparing Fran, a cultural icon, with a Torres, a young pol, is like comparing ... you know what.

[@maggiebill-hi4ml]

we shall see....many say that going in but seldom do anything about it....the rich live off the poor

[@vz4779]

Thank you.

[@nena4215]

I watched for Fran, love that woman, but Congressman Torres hit the nail right on the head for me, you get absolutely nothing being a caretaker for elderly parents, no help, no time off, no tax breaks, struggles with costs, and many others. Comparing childcare with elderly care, it’s almost the same, with the exception of dementia. Dementia care is a total nightmare, 24/7 on guard, everything has to be locked, nothing makes any sense, exhausting! There really should be some kind help for people who have to take on elderly care, it is difficult.

[@annsmith7207]

There is no one better than Fran Lebowitz to tell the absolute 100 percent unvarnished truth. It is such breath of fresh air. And yes, smoking is an addiction. It was such an ordeal for me to stop -- and I had been smoking with parental permission from the age of 13 -- long before the "Hazardous to your Health" warning. I don't think I could ever quit again. What a nightmare. Fran likes to smoke -- live and let live! Everyone has the right to make their own choices.

[@LadyPenelope]

Best 23 minutes and 37 seconds I've spent in a long while. Fantastic.

[@bayoubabe6698]

Love Fran♥️. So truthful. And I hope Ritchie goes far. He sounds like a really good person ♥️

[@thedavidj1996]

Fran and Richie are truly two of America’s shinning stars. Fran’s life’s work and commentaries are timeless. I hope Richie runs for president some day. He’s a great speaker with great ideas and the empathy that voters often demand from their elected officials.

[@soulkitty11]

Love Fran!

[@clintledbetter]

Thank you Mo Rocca for leading Fran to talk about the realities of our LGBTQ history.

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Which she was totally right on about, as always, imo. 👍

[@cayetano-fd6kh]

Good old Mo Rocca, I didn't know he was half Colombian..and gay. ☺

[@rdbwdc774]

Fran Lebowitz is a national treasure.

[@91dodgespiritrt]

NO WONDER WE'RE NEARLY BANKRUPT.

[@jakespivey3716]

Watching the Ritchie Torres segment gave me something that I haven't had. I took care of my father and then my mother for 25 years as they became ill and infirmed. Some of my family and my parents friends who would eventually turn away from them, would like to call me a freeloader while they acknowledge my sacrifice. But, what they never seemed to understand was the sadness. Mr. Torres understands that; I saw him cry and I know he understands what it is like not to be able to turn away and simply immerse yourself in distractions. Being a captive witness to the destruction of your loved ones is one of the saddest things there is in life.

[@philippapay4352]

Fran gave a pretty good description of 1950s mothers in middle America. I grew up in a similar suburb outside a big city, as did she. And she's right that AIDS & Covid are not alike in the impact they have had on individuals and society as a whole.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

If I had been Fran's agent I would have bought her a tape recorder and had her just record conversations for more books. It must've been fun to have her as a dinner guest or friend.

[@CiTalMe]

I saw Fran in Arkansas-of all places! I felt like I checked something off my “bucket list” without ever actually making a bucket list!😂 If I had the opportunity to see her again, there is no doubt that I’d be there-front and center!😊

[@thelaurels13]

I’m from the U.K. and wish I could see her. I’ve admired her for so long.

[@thelaurels13]

Ritchie Torres is an inspiration. What a remarkable guy who genuinely cares for people. 👏

[@MartinScreeton]

Mr. Torres reminds me of the fact that we still Do Not have a adequate federal minimum wage law!... despite having Two Democratic administrations... this causes the homelessness that we see around the country. I love Fran Leibowitz, been watching her since the 70's... it's a shame that CBS cut her off at the end of the interview here.

[@leavesongrass]

I need to hear from Fran MORE OFTEN!

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

I love Fran!

[@parathink]

Thank you for doing this. It is very admirable.

[@akrenwinkle]

Didn't Roseanne Rosannadanna used to say that, after getting two words mixed up? "That's different and very admirable. Never mind."

[@patcook6288]

New format is disjointed, like an ADD patient. Show the entire interview, don’t interrupt with another story.

[@louisereinhart1149]

She’s absolutely the greatest 👍❤️

[@laylaali5977]

Fran is hilarious and wise at the same time

[@AuntieFa]

Pleaaaaaaase post the rest of the Fran interview!!

[@lindazhang8004]

totally agree!

[@eileenhwalsh]

Having watched him rise in the Bronx, Ritchie Torres is actually a real hardworking thoughtful guy. The Bronx may just save the country in the end.

[@johnsailorsgoat]

Give us the rest of the Lebowitz interview!

[@stewiegriffin12341]

There’s no way that’s all of Fran’s interview. Please post the full thing!

[@riccardodemedici7116]

…and uninterrupted!

[@lizlorraine463]

Where’s the FULL INTERVIEW! This is cut off by CBS, wtf

[@centrostorico21]

what happened to the end of the interview with Fran- why did you cut her off!!!!

[@moniqueengleman873]

They split the interview. The end was good

[@mikeywestside8509]

Tell me you're NYC without telling me you're NYC. Answer: Fran Lebowitz

[@artieash6671]

Lousy coverage of the Lebowitz interview. Why break it up into parts and cuts off half her comments?

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing..

[@Fortwentt]

She was so incredible.

[@zoecunningham3019]

Thank you Fran for speaking obvious truth

Can you imagine a conversation between Fran and Camilla Paglia? 💗 🤣

excellent! thank You

You cut her off right at the most meaningful part. Hmmmmm....

[@jannichi6431]

Loved Moe's series in Detroit of Henry Ford museum, how likable can all of CBS Sunday folks be? 🙏🥰

[@lindaadams6016]

Memo to Fran Lebowitz: Please smile more, you have a beautiful smile!❤

[@riccardodemedici7116]

This is totally disturbing. I watched this to see Fran. But she is interrupted by Ritchie Torres. It is not Mr. Torres’ fault, but the fault of CBS. The presentation does nothing to honor either individual. They deserve the continuity they have earned. It demonstrates one very good reason to never watch CBS Sunday Morning again…

[@matthewhorgan2342]

love her, ty!

[@collinreesejones5525]

Took me 15 minutes to hit the like, which I always normally do before hitting play...knew I would go off on another CBS piece for a leftist loon... ACTUALLY ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! 😎😁😍😂🤗

[@dyardsale5475]

She's an original.

[@IntriguedLioness]

I was 10 years old when I read *social studies* . Sometime after that I remember telling an adult that I wanted to be a satirist. I've lived all over the world and spent most of my twenties in Manhattan and I would give anything to have coffee or even a later drink or two with Fran Lebowitz! I would just soak up her commentary like a sponge! _If only the video wasn't so segmented. Not sure why CBS is doing this now._

[@tamjg]

I saw her once in the street, carrying clothes from the dry cleaner's. She appeared so unapproachable that I was afraid to look at her.

[@kathryn1304]

I’m so annoyed the way they cut up her interview and while she was Still speaking they ended the show! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Where`s the rest of the Lebowitz interview ??!!

[@RIZ2NE1]

[@laurasoftheart]

I love fran!

[@whermany]

CBS just needs to get with 2023 and put the whole interview online. Like others have said...it's not right to cut her off like that. That said, I love Fran as well as a lot of what she has to say. Unfortunately, I don't think she is right on the whole nature thing. I'd ask her what she thinks of Dr. Sapolsky's work with baboons and his findings.

[@umbomb]

I've loved Lebowitz and followed her for decades- and I understand what addiction is- but secondhand smoke isn't "an annoyance," it's a health hazard.

[@karronlaneNOLA]

awh, it ended too soon.

[@jannichi6431]

Fran's interview series with Martian is ...well all NY FRAN!💕

[@draum8103]

the Bronx is definitely NOT the poorest district in the country like the video claim. Maybe in NYC, but there are also places outside of NYC so that claim is not accurate.

[@MrMcmenamin]

One of the best misanthropes on the planet

[@GH-oi2jf]

Lebowitz is not a misanthrope.

[@augusta8901]

Hey wtf - been nicer if she wasn't cut off mid-sentence.

[@4myearzonly]

TRICK! False advertising, this isn’t just Fran

[@gregrice1354]

I love and respect Fran Liebowitz, but she is plain wrong about smoking being only "annoying". People do have the right to share public spaces and spaces in public businesses, like restaurants, hotels, even sidewalks, without being forced to be exposed to poisonous gases - exactly like there are municipal laws outlawing distubinrg the peace with outrageously loud sounds, music, even work hours and work sites for building or home construction are regulated. Her views are expressed with humor, as is her skill and talent, but the best humor is based in truth, not distortion.

[@RobynHoodeofSherwood]

Totally agree! Some people cannot breathe when someone else is smoking. It is detrimental to others health.

[@jeffmeyer9319]

haha, she doesn't what you think!

[@Gjithmonetedua]

No hate but someone needs to work on the thumbnail and titles of your videos. As well as the editing

[@cor-z8m]

I would love to see her with a different hair style and colourful clothes. Luv her!

[@paperprincess1050]

I agree with everything she says

[@GH-oi2jf]

I do also, except for her utterly wrong take on secondhand smoke.

[@paperprincess1050]

@@GH-oi2jf Be more concerned about all the second hand smoke/pollution you are ingesting everyday from cars, you can walk away from people who smoke in fact ban cars and let people smoke.

[@babyjordan23]

Who edited this? I'd like to know the thinking behind this mishmash of intros, interview subjects, repeated snippets and early fades.

[@HeatherValentineMsFoodie]

I have strong opinions 😂❤

[@gatheringmoss5726]

I feel the same way as the commenter who said they came to this video for Fran, but came away more impressed with Ritchie Torres. Fran is a comedic philosopher. She's an icon when it comes to saying what's on your mind and living life according to your own rules, but I'll use a quote from Fran here... "It is adolescent" to put your need to feed your addiction before the folks around you, who simply want to breathe clean air while eating lunch. Thing is... if Ritchie was a smoker, he would be the one to care about other diners in the restaurant. Fran wouldn't. I'd much rather have lunch with Ritchie.

[@03817]

I can not believe you just cut through Fran's description of AIDS epidemic. So dumb and low 'Sunday morning'.

[@bp9884]

Pro tip: Cut out the promos

[@leodarislive]

Great interview! The video was cut too damn short! Especially where it cut off. It was a horrible way to end the video! 👎

Smoking is pain relief, can be a pleasure...depends on your apex
