Fran Lebowitz Breaks Down Why Having Children Is Bad for the Environment | The Tonight Show

[@AuntieFa]

I love Fran so much that I clicked on the video even though it's Jimmy Fallon interviewing her. That is truly a testament of my love for her.

[@annieg43]

Why don’t you like Fallon?

She is smart and hilarious! One of best segments on tonight show!

[@juggernaut4898]

She's the opposite of everything you said

[@luciadiane6682]

I saw her speak in San Francisco couple years ago. She was FranTastic! So brutally honest and funny to boot. I would pay to see her anywhere! If I’m ever in NY, I’m definitely gonna see if she is speaking anywhere. She is gold nuggets for the wise!❤

[@victoriamarx3267]

I read Frantastic and literally spit out a mouth full of tea laughing

[@romero4801]

Thank you for having Ms. Fran on on your show!!! I'm always looking for new interviews of her. ☺🤩

[@Leothelion-fr8xp]

Like so many on this thread, I too LOVE Fran Lebowitz!!! She is indeed a national treasure!!! She’s coming to my town soon, and I would give the world to see her in person.

That Was Really Sweet Of What Jimmy Said About Fran At The End There. She Really Is An Icon & A New York Legend. Going To New York This December & Staying In The East Village. Hope To Catch Her On The Street To Say My Hellos- She Has Such A Very Unique & Humorous Perspective On Modern Life

An underrated American treasure. Love you, Fran!

Ur sick

[@temporaladvisor3958]

Since Fran Lebowitz is not on social media I cannot tell her directly how much I agree with her "environmentalism". I, too, never had children, but I do have an AC that I frugally use only during heat waves. Not having any children may not absolve all my actions, but it's the greatest contribution to the environment I could've made.

[@mv1362]

I don't have children or an AC. I win 😜

[@victorblock3421]

We can all be choldless then humanity ends, but the environment is great!!!!!!!

[@jamk2668]

Factory farming is the second leading cause of climate change so one can arguably make the same difference just by going vegan. :)

[@goldfaust8613]

Tell Africans to stop having children then… Americans need children.

[@temporaladvisor3958]

@@jamk2668 I grew up on a farm and resent that industry enormously. I agree that a vegan diet is definitely a lighter imprint. Just made the switch to quasi-vegetarian. Not courageous enough to go head first. Baby steps.

The funniest thing (or possibly the saddest thing) here is the interview kicked off with a paid product placement by Anderson Shepherd.

The way jimmy hosts and conan hosts both inspires me in different ways. I even started my own show with that inspiration. I know fallon does have cringy moments, but you cant deny that he is a “friendly” one.

[@temporaladvisor3958]

I don't find Seth Meyers or Stephen Colbert as cringy. What I love about Seth is how he doesn't use cards. He's prepared in advance making the interviews more natural. And Stephen. Well, he's just an encyclopedia of knowledge.

[@Chiyoonshow]

Always fabulous to see Fran. Great "current political references". I agree with her dislike of cooking shows, however I love to cook, but I don't watch those shows because you can't smell the food or taste it so what's the point of watching someone on TV cook. Like she said " doing chores".

[@EngageYourFrontalLobe]

It’s not just whether you have children or not, it’s how you live and choose to raise them that truly matters. Our two children know more about helping sustain a habitable environment than people like this “comedian”. If only Catholics, Mormons, etc… are having (most of them too many) children, then their children ARE the future! There is a way to have one or two children while doing what you can to live a sustainable life and raising them to do the same.

[@debrahelmlinger6256]

Yes you can, I have done this with my Neices and Nephews as I chose not to have any children of my own and being a Children's Librarian influenced hundreds of children as well😊

You have to understand the Jewish hatred of white people to understand where Fran's perspective is coming from.
