Now THAT'S how you tell a story on a talk show. To the point, colorful, informative and yet entertaining. Show 'em how it's done Ms. Garner!!!

[@debadev2179]

Jazsy Ali I totally agree she’s a legend

[@iamshraddhakhedkar]

True!

[@cbrownes]

Most charming woman. Inside and outside. How special is it that her 12-year-old daughter was not really aware of all the fame but also chose the ordinary life over it. Makes you wonder how special and warm that 'normal' life must be :) Well done mum!

[@KatTheTruth]

Charlie Noah it was her 9 year old that wasn't aware. But I agree with you!

[@cbrownes]

Katie On The Daily Oo I actually initially wrote 9 but the description box mentions her 12 year old daughter so I figured I was wrong. Thanks for the heads up! And agree, just as special no matter the age! :)

[@2quick2c35]

super charming in front of the camera but a dick in real life .. I met her.

[@josie1717]

I watched the entire segment of Garner. I don’t get star struck and I’m aware that most celebrities ‘turn it on’ for their own publicity, but this woman is genuinely funny, classy, and warm spirited, and she’s been this way for decades in the public eye. What a great storyteller too. I route for her. Such respect for how she carries herself.

[@Letsmarchishere]

Yes, I got the sense of it too. Matthew McConaughey said in one of his interviews that you can't just say hi, how are you to Jennifer Garner like lip service or something, you gotta stop and actually had a conversation cos it's Jennifer Garner, she's real and so caring etc.

[@ciaolallala96]

I love that there isn't a single negative comment about her! I love her!

[@alinesodre334]

I could listen to her for hours, what a pleasant, fun and adorable human being she is. She is beyond special.

[@leonilamontgomery9464]

Same here

[@dearmakeupdiary]

This woman lives her life to the fullest. Literally she’s amazing and so much fun. Adorable.

[@lolabrini3758]

She’s a literal personification of positivity and happiness

[@usaresident8181]

I love that she is so down-to-earth and that she loves being a mom more than anything else. She also has a great way of telling her real-life stories. I was smiling the entire time she was telling about her and her daughter almost in the ocean kayak adventure. Her relationship with her daughter sounds like my relationship with my teenage daughter. We have so much fun together.

[@debbiewhitman2154]

She is so full of life and love. Loved the story!

[@carolbenson6524]

Jennifer is one of the nicest actresses .... not in with the Hollywood group.

[@Wewhosee-im3ii]

She seems like a really wonderful person, her kids are so lucky to have her!

[@jennyle8897]

takes her daughter to Sweden because of her school project .. 😂 goals

[@adrianabuz4450]

I thought I was the only one thinking about that. 😋

[@adrianabuz4450]

Love her anyway

[@BuzzLightyear620]

Some parents buy their kids a book about Sweden... Jen IS goals!

[@SuperMsalison]

a real strong mama!

[@azimeyildirim7145]

I love Jimmy fallon

[@canadasweetie]

Jennifer Garner is always the same: happy, genuine, caring. I believe she is probably like that in private. I’d like to hope so. Such a beautiful person.

[@galmanferguson]

Oh Benny boy... You never know what you have lost. She's the realest, kindest, loveliest woman in Hollywood ever.

[@vloggingblonde]

The most beautiful woman in the world!

[@DaneBryantFrazier]

Ha hey (not sure you remember me but I'm the one who wrote you Through The Journey in '15) I didn't know you were a fan of her!

[@mikophilo348]

especially her mouth

[@eln3ciobx]

Ben fucked up big time. Lol

[@bell.videography]

vloggingblonde wrong jennifer... #jenniferaniston

[@TheCelticTiger32]

Clearly never met my cat

[@toeareg100]

She is so fun and full of life. And I love the dimple in her cheek, she has a beautiful smile. Unbelievable that Ben threw his marriage and his family away for alcoholism.

[@shay2218]

She is just so entertaining. Every time I see her in an interview I just like her more and more. Beautiful and hilarious. Ben is is insane to let her go.

[@Spencer0090]

she seems like a genuinely nice person!! been a fan since Alias one of the most beautiful actresses out there!!

[@stacybishop3484]

Omg does this woman have any flaws? She is life!! She deserves all things good

Did Jimmy just laugh genuinely for the first time?

[@georginab1126]

silve050 NO

[@bigtone1740]

silve050 when?

[@thirdeye8]

He's really annoying. You can see the pretense in his gestures. What's worse is that he wants to be the center of the attention all the time.

[@frizzzx86]

nah

[@sridharan136900]

Jimmy Fallon & Jennifer Garner both are beautiful inside and outside. And they are great storytellers too. Love them both 💙

[@kari2704]

She’s so great! She seems like a great person to be around.

It's hilarious how she related it. Great story teller. Beautiful human being. I love her !

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

She's pretty. She seems so sweet. Sorry to hear what her ex Ben Affleck is going through. Hope he makes it through. Congrats on the Walk of fame. Good actress as well.

[@Kc24piv]

Geoffrey Feinberg you sound like a nice person. Usually you don’t hear men call women pretty and they just talk about how smoking hot they are. I had to stop and double take on your comment. It was so endearing you called a woman “pretty” and mentioned Ben and congratulations as well. You seem awesome. Such a rare pure comment. I hope you have a good day 😀

[@Kc24piv]

Unless I’m mistaken by your username and you’re a lady. In that case, my comment still applies 😀

[@sonofsoils7234]
