You can feel the respect that Conan, Matt and Sona feel for Jane and that's beautiful

[@tishw4576]

She is such a joy. I appreciate how she said it's taken 80 years to not be depressed. Constantly a work in progress.

[@xploration1437]

She also said racism caused climate change, so…

[@harrietthomas4032]

Hell yeah, I'm 54 and still working on it...

[@libbyworkman3459]

@Tish W. I believe the word was depressed, not depressing. there’s a big difference there.

Great line from Jane towards the end. “Not the son, the father!”

So true. I could not skip one part. ) It has been wonderful.

[@susanne9602]

Jane has been my personal inspiration for many decades. She inspired me to work out with the Jane Fonda Workout when it was just a book, followed by a record and then a video. Her voice talked me through the "I can't" and "I don't want to" just to hear her say "Don't you feel good?" at the end of the workout. Her praise was worth it. She taught me how the mental and emotional parts connect with the physical. She is simply my hero.

[@florete2310]

This is absolutely true - the mental setup is the all deciding factor in all kinds of activities. If your mind keeps telling you "can't do, won't do" without hinderance, than that's exactly what happens. It's somehow like you just can't get the control room to give you green light for activity xyz...

[@donovanharrison3516]

Great series of interviews Conan. There are few of these so called celebrities who truly deserve to be referred to as 'icons', Jane Fonda is one such person. A true great. Been a staple in the Hollywood scene for years and we've known or we thought we knew everything about her but this set Conan were some of your best. Have enjoyed so many of these new short form podcasts but the 'Jane Fonda' series deserves to be listened to in the classic longer form. Really good. Bulls or 'buffalo' eye yet again ... keep 'em comin' Conan, keep 'em comin'.🙏

[@jilpok1074]

Conan and Jane workout video! I NEED to see this. I will even buy it on VHS and buy a vcr player at an antique store.

[@ultraearly]

Let's go Jane.. the energy! we need you, keep it going young lady.

[@tracevicente]

One of my favorite interviews, Conan and team! This was soooooo fabulous.

[@jazminratzlaff5357]

Always found Jane naturally hilarious and funny, just like her dad. Her brother Peter had that gift as well. Their comedies are some of the most iconic, legendary, unique and original. And Lilly Tomlin is definitely up their as a true reigning leading comedy screen queen of classic cinema and television. 💜👑💎⚜️🏆

[@pegelliott4058]

Love this lady! Her honesty & candor is refreshing. She is a jewel💕💕💕💕💕

[@user-dq7xd9ol9u]

I love Jane Fonda so much because I admire her and her sense of responsibility. I want her to know that her earnestness is a valuable trait, too. We need the mix, right? And she uses her celebrity to positively influence the collective. i am just so grateful for her many contributions and her consciousness.

[@jujitsujew23]

I know she’s had work done but man does Jane Fonda still look fantastic!

[@victoriaclark2864]

Shout out to the Waddell family who has played a big part in managing Turner’s bison herd in New Mexico.

[@justinw8512]

Wow. She is much cooler than I realized. I hope they do more Grace & Frankie!

[@mckait]

Love Jane Fonda and all the work she has been doing, too...Fascinating information about Ted Turner. What a great way to live, and a way to do the right thing with the money he has. Good on him.

[@randolfo1265]

'Charlie Sheen is ok now, he's doing great' Jane Fonda just nice and kind to everyone. The world needs more Jane Fonda, for so many reasons

[@greg1030]

What the US needs are more and better political parties besides the two corrupt monstrosities we're stuck with. Maybe then there would be a chance of electing those like Jane Fonda, Gore Vidal, Ralph Nader, Wangarĩ Muta Maatha, Nandita Bajaj, et al.

Yes Conan, PLEASE release a workout video. Wearing a Jane Fonda leotard is mandatory! 😂

Ted Turner has 2 million acres of land? That's bigger than some states I'm pretty sure.

Jane Fonda is wonderful

[@arlenemulqueeney5464]

Very interesting and Informative glad I stumbled upon it

[@heathercferris]

Could not possibly love her more. Such an incredible role model. And the Jane Fonda Conan O'Brien workout video with O'Brien in a unitard will be a cult classic. Add in effective climate action, listening to indigenous wisdom, and protecting the indigenous population moves and I would use it daily.

[@jlemmink]

Jane is what all stars need to be who have a platform. LOVE HER!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

great interview👏👏👏👏

No matter anyones opinion on the woman, she is pushing 90..10 years from 100 years old! I hope im still this active, alert and nice looking at 90, if I make it that far.

[@carolgrahek4407]

REMARKABLE. Many other people on what you have to say. Everybody has a choice in an opinion and it’s great that Ted gave you that break.

[@brendataylor7524]

Yes, that is the only thing he ad given her. But she is not really liked by him. She has a problem with men, especially when he forked out millions for divorce settlement.

[@effurfeelings]

This is what celebrities should do with their time - activism

[@juliefisher5377]

Jane Fonda is a Legend ❤️

[@Ohmygodthedramawhocares]

I think it’s safe to say we are all naturally depressed. How could we not be. We are living in a formulated reality acting out various parts of our psyche for our souls evolutionary expansion. Polarity is unnatural for our soul but necessary for growth and depression is a symptom of that catalyst for growth. Everything works itself out in the end. If it hasn’t yet it’s not the end. Of this incarnation anyway. Thank you for you. You are an awesome human and I love you Jane Fonda!!❤

[@Sneakycastro69]

She has so much energy for 85 it’s crazy.

Some of the funniest, wittiest comedians suffer(ed) from depression - there are quite a lot of examples (quite famous examples) for that kind of phenomenon. I think, she has a rather refined sense of humour, but also doesn't she away from joking around about three ways. That's a good mix in my books

Just noticed Conan and Jane Fonda aren’t wearing headphones. Can someone explain why they need headphones at all?

[@janosnagy4483]

Headphones help you to maintain a listener friendly sound output because with them you hear everything as the listeners do or they will be if you are not on live air (for example it helps you to keep your voice down and smooth or to hear any imperfections during recordings). I don't know why Jane doesn't wear them, maybe she is uncomfortable with those on or just finds it weird to have a conversation like that. And I'm sure Conan does not wear them out of respect, because he always wants his guests to feel as comfortable as it possible

[@dvinedzine]

She's still so gorgeous.

If Jane ever does another video, she should do a remake of Debbie Reynold's "Do It Debbie's Way." Conan could be Shelley Winters, just in a giant sweatsuit and laying on the floor. Seriously, look it up because it is terrific!
