[@AuntieFa]

I could not love these two more. And they're great on Grace & Frankie.

[@Yesornoization]

I'll actually give her props for mug shot mug, I like that.

[@deewynn]

Yesornoization .... Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember her being a rebel back in the day. Jane didn't take crap from anybody back then! And I bet she still doesn't!

[@alexmha8259]

Thanks for reporting, I love her personality!

[@Kasino80]

Only 8 minutes of two of the biggest living Legends in Hollywood?

[@hedegaard8]

Kasino80 Legends?!? Those old hacks seem deluded, must be all the plastic surgery going into their brains. Disgusting really.

[@69drummerdude]

Hedefart88 A-hole! How small are your hands? LEGENDS is what they are! (funny too)

[@jauipop]

A 30 minute interview would be more suited!!!

[@dmattosinho]

Colbert barely could keep up with them! It should've lasted at least for 15 minutes ...

[@MichaelAronson]

"the plastic surgery going into their brains" Do . . . do you know what plastic surgery is?

[@jauipop]

I've binge watched all 3 seasons after every release. One of my favourite shows on Netflix!

[@Ryoichi94]

Well Colbert said so in the beginning.

[@gabzz72]

+TheNutSlapper69 its a Netflix original

[@deejmateo832]

@William Brynn pretty sure you're comparing two shows who's viewerbase differs greatly. Netflix has a production company that employs many people from all different show/movie ideas. Both shows are great.

[@deejmateo832]

@William Brynn also grace and frankie got an ending, it wasnt canceled. Google your insults.

[@deejmateo832]

@William Brynn I dont think you did either, but everyone online nowadays is just dumbo learning the internet.

[@jeffwinger6568]

IS THAT IT??? Yes, ladies, Stephen only teases and leaves you in anticipation of more. Heartless bastard.

[@Alvicbar]

LMAO

[@daveskerritt185]

Jeff Winger. Yeah, I agree! Stephen gets as outrageous as he can get! Then he gets sort of fatherly like, or whatever, while these 2 amazing ladies, who have been famous for years, are talking about vibrators. It's funny, but then I sort of don't get it. It would be like a man up there talking about jacking off. Oh, and that certainly wouldn't be acceptable. You horrible men!! Nothing against women, but these woman role models shouldn't be talking about vibrators. Men could get arrested for going too far with this.

[@JowanaBueser]

Jane Fonda is about to hit her octogenarian phase and she still has better posture than me.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Jowana Bueser I think she may be a vampire.

[@vickipaluch1519]

She also made yoga tapes.

[@AESutton09]

she is also major butt goals- she has the ass of a 27 year old

[@foreverdance26]

what icons they are... so incredibly Timeless.

[@doctaferal7981]

too short for such legends!

[@70redcutlass]

I'm with Lily on that one "Is that it" Come one forget about volume of guests Stephen keep em on longer.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Two beautiful, intelligent and funny women, need more role models like Jane & Lily for the young women in our world. You don't lose your grace with age, you have more of it, mature women should run this world, we would be so much better off if they did!!

[@GreenDragon11]

Pretty Pixy I absolutely agree!! It sure seems like a lot (not all) men go in the opposite direction.

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

Pretty Pixy I don't even want Hanoi Jane running a corner store, let alone a country.

[@graceharwood2858]

Get a life.

[@Einomar]

Jarod Burroughs Really.... how long will people like you regurgitate that old vomit? She made a mistake in her youth and were taken advantage of. I'm sure you are pure as new fallen snow...... get the f over it!

[@musicgirlRN]

I remember Jane's "traitorous" behaviour when I was 11 or 12. My brother was in VN twice even tho he didn't have to. Even now I can see in my mind the pictures and stories about "Hanoi Jane". however many years have passed and I can really enjoy her work now. About this interview, I saw some real surprise on Jane's face when Colbert pulled out her mug shot. She looked very deflated when he did that. He should have cleared that with her before he did it. She was pretty upset about it and I was upset for her. I would really like to slap his smart ass face.. it smacks of passive aggressive to me. I think he did it on purpose just to see what she would do. Do I have to tell you now that I like her?

[@fidorover]

Jane Fonda is 79 years old. I mean... geezus.

[@DunedinMultimedia2]

Barbarella. Now that's what I call a motion picture! (And China Syndrome and the others.)

[@patriciahardin5482]

fidorover Jane look fantastic for age wow!

[@GreenDragon11]

Robert Clyde Klute is my favourite of hers, 9 to 5 is hilarious! I am more a fan of Lilly Tomlin fan though! Jane also did a few things that were bad for the soldiers in Vietnam, though! I think her heart was trying to be in a good place but she was very inexperienced and fucked up royally. I just can't get over the things that people can say on a regular TV station. It doesn't bother me, it just shocks me!

[@debrajones7344]

She's still Hanoi Jane to millions of Viet Nam Vets.

[@plipsig]

I didn't look that good when I was...uh...ever...

[@TommyChardonneret]

My only criticism of this video clip is that it should have been AT LEAST 3 times longer! These two brilliantly smart and funny women, Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin, are American treasures in a time when our cultural fabric is suffering a death by a 1,000 cuts (mostly from Trump & Co., Inc.'s devastating budget cut proposals)! Please, Stephen Colbert, have them back soon for much longer, okay? Okay then!

[@HappilyCarnivore]

I love that so many of the positive comments are from men. Don't ask me why I should be surprised by that because I don't know, I just am. Pleasantly so.

[@j.criquette3334]

Laughter is laughter.

[@TommyChardonneret]

+J. Criquette Excuse me, but are you saying that the laughter evoked by Donald Trump mimicking the physical difficulties of a disabled reporter "is" the laughter that Lily Tomlin has evoked so brilliantly, insightfully, and compassionately throughout her entire career? The many forms of laughter ARE NOT FUNGIBLE AND EQUAL, and therefore your equivalent of saying laughter = laughter is, to say the least, troubling in these days of laughter through heartless mockery coming from the very American people's White House itself. Why did you even bother to type out your comment? Seriously, that's not a merely rhetorical question on my part. What did you intend "to contribute" by such a vacuous equivalency that parallels "life is life" when there are many millions of forms of life? Very curious about this, Jiminy the "conscience" moniker française.

[@TommyChardonneret]

+ILost MyTongs Me, too, and from the language and tone of the many diverse yet consistently adulatory comments, it seems to be from men of many different ages. That's a very good sign in these days of utterly crass misogyny being uttered from the American White House no less!

[@deewynn]

Thomas Goldfinch I hope you're watching their Netflix series "Gracie & Frankie!" I'm hoping it keeps a big following so they'll be more seasons approved and added! It's really a great show. The other actors in it are great too! There are two male veteran​ actors in it also. Unfortunately I can't think of their names at the moment. Even if you don't have Netflix, they offer a FREE 30 day trial period. Which is more than enough time to binge on the three seasons!

[@bcgoette]

I love Grace and Frankie. It is a very funny show and cheers me up after watching the news, much like Stephen Colbert does.

[@callie4808]

I love them both! 9-5 is still one of my favourite movies! and they both loo FUCKING AMAZING!!

[@graphiquejack]

callaboo 222 still waiting for them to get Dolly on the show... even for just a cameo...

[@brianthomas8411]

lily seemed pissed it was so short. you could see her ask should i just leave? I was reading her mind? "I shlepped out here and got all made up for this?" I could've watched an hour. he should've done an extended interview online

[@IMSiegfried]

I wonder how much they made in 9 minutes? I bet it was worth it! ;)

[@miat789]

Yes to the March. Yes to Planned Parenthood. Love these ladies.

[@cmacmenow]

Oh c'mon,8 mins of two of the funniest, smartest, women right now on our screens,world wide! Shame on you fellas! We deserve more time, so bring them back asap and get serious.

[@luxurypetscz]

Funniest? Really? I mean they are awesome, smart, vocal and generally great human beings, but there are people like Trump on screen... I'd say he's way funnier... Like have you read any of his tweets? Pure comedy!

[@beatricet5682]

The producers seriously need to get Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin back on the show. Not enough time. Next time bring Dolly Parton back too! #9to5

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Anyone old enough to remember Lily in "Laugh In"?

[@HartSpunky]

I admire Jane Fonda passionately. She is a great woman, humanitarian, intelligent, authentic, sincere, gutsy, bold and willing to learn, grow, stay curious and full or wonder... Knowing that is every humans and especially women's saving grace...

[@Justme-ok3bf]

Hollywood legends right there! I adore them both!

[@albert7721]

Jane & Lily,two legends right there,fun interview. :-)

[@bernlin2000]

These two women...no words for their talent, what a treat!!

[@EndingsAreHard]

Grace&Frankie is my jam. It's so, so good. Love these two!

[@sarahsrappa]

Omg I love Jane Fonda I have seeing her closely twice one in the woman's march this year. She is just amazing She has a planed parenthood pin ❤️ she is incredible

[@patriciahardin5482]

sarahsrappa I could not stop laughing about the plan parenthood pin 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@deewynn]

Patricia Hardin Yeah....that was kinda random, wasn't it?😏

[@a99999z]

sarahsrappa that's cool!

[@hughhaefner5486]

What's your point about the planned parenthood pin?

[@hughhaefner5486]

@Pro-Life Society I have seen documentaries on the black genocide story-theory.

[@williamh0809]

And to think that Crawford and Davis were considered a pair of washed-up old has-beens when they made "...Baby Jane" and they were only in their mid fifties.

[@GreenDragon11]

williamh0809 Bette Davis was a tour de force actress! Absolutely awesome!

[@monicahenrion1559]

I'm loving the show. Jessica Lange playing Crawford! She is so classy and crazy talented.

[@IMSiegfried]

Ya, well, they didn't have the anti-aging options Jane & Lily do. Sad it comes down to that. :-/

[@nunibear4800]

"Adult diapers called trumpers to help with all the leaks" I cant breathe so funny

[@gloriaf9834]

Jane Fonda is gonna die sexy. I know she's had work but it's good work. Looks good. Actually they both look great. I love both these ladies! I'm so getting one of those bags!

[@ninam8583]

fucking legends

[@nancylevine2776]

Grace and Frankie is one of the funniest shows. Thank you for doing a series that this 74-year old can relate to.

[@albabjorkvall8310]

I just love these two!! Proud, empowering AND funny women! They're such legends!!

[@Mimyakko]

no!! their interview was so short!!

[@carschmn]

I get the feeling the CBS censor was laughing their ass off during the interview.

[@reeandtee]

Loved this video, I wish Lily could’ve gotten more of a chance to jump in, she’s hilarious! But both ladies are my faves... I’ve always loved their work since I was a kid. Hope I grow up with a vibe like Lily Tomlin!

[@jillyburt]

YAY Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin!!!!! Women Unite!

[@jayweh]

the sun is rising whenever lily smiles and laughs. :)))))

[@sophiesophia3027]

I binge watched the show last Friday and Saturday. A much needed respite from you know who and what. Love these two women.

[@MsBeautifulRed]

This should have been a much longer segment with these two amazing artists, it was over way too soon.

[@PeaceGuyForEarth]

I love those two sooo much!

[@VNVgirl]

I really love these women - strong minded, funny and fantastic actors - lookin amazing and energized! This was fun but should have been longer! grrr

[@EllotusFreeholy]

Two amazing icon's ~ Bravo and best to you both.

[@zennieferrer8926]

I’ve been binge watching Grace and Frankie almost everyday.I really love this show ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌💋💋💋

[@brybaby89]

Love these two! I like Jane's outfit too.

[@joshb9777]

I adore both of these wonderful ladies.

[@ZeldaTheLegendof]

Hilarious. The friendship between the two is palpable. I wish it was longer as they have a lot of stories to tell.

[@rebeccaweixler6562]

Omg they are so old and adorable. I love Grace and Frankie.

[@fratdawgg23]

Much respect to Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin!

[@DINOLOVER6717]

Lol I’d love to hang out with both of them 🥰 they’re dope old ladies 👌🏽 Im literally waiting all my life to get to this stage but it looks so fun once you get there! I can’t wait 🙌🏽

[@nikkicat254]

I love these two both, love their show too! He should have had them on longer!

[@chandlerlawson96]

You can tell that the audience loved them.

[@ChangetheCircumstances]

god bless they're gorgeous. i love them so much!

[@patriciahardin5482]

More Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@RiordanLadyGaga]

This shouldve been longer. And he barely interacted with Lily.

[@Greekgirl36]

I absolutely love those two amazing legends. Jane looks amazing and Lily is as funny as ever. And that they made Colbert practically blush was hilarious...

[@tillysanders2593]

Omg ? - get these two fabulous women back and give them the airtime they deserve - this was insulting to both them & us, Disgraceful

[@SamanthaLauzonXO]

Love these ladies so much! I've been watching and reviewing Season 3 and it's hilarious. It doesn't miss a beat. So many shows into season 3 get so "old" the jokes aren't funny they're regurgitated but not Grace and Frankie. I can't wait to see where it goes.

[@clairecolvin4077]

So, glad my daughter sent this to me! I was Jane's neighbor during a few of the 'workout' years ! We had the same cars, different colors!!! She was 42 I was 21! It's a fond(a) memory for me! Love you Jane and Ernistine!

[@gel4530]

One of the best shows on tv for years amazing funny women love them both ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@JillontheLake]

Love these two. Their show is a treat.

[@nnaenae]

I love them so much and I freaking love Grace and Frankie. I discovered that show last week and am nearly finished with the third season. I NEVER finish TV series, but this hit me somehow.

[@PurnceNMe]

Jane Fonda is flawless!

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

PurnceNMe Flawless? You think acquiring the nickname Hanoi Jane isn't indicative of a flaw?

[@mariasharp815]

Hanoi Jane?! Really? Grow up.

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

Maria Sharp She earned it, and it will continue to be used.

[@dominickzesati5287]

That was decades ago. Get over it Snowflake.

[@TheVillainInGlasses]

Dominick Zesati Funny that people pick and choose when "that was decades ago" can be applied, and it can never seem to be applied to someone they approve of.

[@MsMoses-hs5cz]

I'm so happy their show is back Grace & Frankie. Love that show.

[@dirrtyrulez]

friendship goals

[@May-tm4wb]

Just finished watching season 3. Very good. Love this show

[@664Lorna]

Grace and Frankie is hilarious. I've already watched all the episodes and it just came out on the 24th of March.

[@rayoflight6505]

Jane is 79 yet looks 49.

[@ciaranosullivan9352]

smck 2016 She has had some work done .

[@starryxblue]

Yeah but the surgery looks incredible too. Not always the case.

[@walkthisways]

never saw such a fake wig ...are you kidding

[@Celisar1]

smck 2016 You must be kidding!! I can only assume you have a serious eye condition going on. OR never seen a woman of 49!!

[@rayoflight6505]

Celisar1 Or you are the one who has the eye problem dear.

[@catl.3994]

I'll be catching up and watching Grace and Frankie; these women are amazing! I can't believe I didn't know they had their own Netflix series!

[@lailashawniece6166]

At the end Lily leaned over and said "Do I just get up and walk out?!" 😂😂😂 I love these two and Im already finished with season 3 😢

[@vjshoegal4027]

That episode was hilarious...trying to introduce the Ménage à Moi to church ladies 🤣🤣 🤣🤣

[@Eon2641]

I wonder how many gifs this episode spawned... I'm counting at least five, with the Jewel being her talking about "the sleeve".

[@isKatKat]

The show is fabulous! I can't wait to watch the new series!

[@babe7401]

I love you both wonderful ladies, stay strong, forever!

[@jing90]

Nine to Five was ahead of its time by forty years, considering some of the practices are just catching on. Job sharing, flexi hours, day care centre in an office... Not to mention it was such a funny show.

[@ralphangel561]

Two timeless ladies. And Jane Fonda !? TIMELESS

[@1360alix]

"The revolution will not be televised, but it will be merchandised." such a resonant line

[@WhatisASMR]

It still amazes me how much I learned from 9 to 5 in terms of office life. So often now when people at work do slightly dumb things I think "haven't you seen 9 to 5?? they already covered this... in 1980!!" ... these two ladies, ah they are just awesome.

[@mustardseed308]

Love you ladies with all my heart!

[@marvginsberg52]

Great show with 2 iconic actors - just ended binging season 2 starting 3 tonight. A long way from Hanoi Jane and Edith Anne. Hope you both are truly good friends! Netflix doesn't tell you and wish the writers treat you well by having a season 4 and on.. there seems to be enough of life there to keep going.. BTW, did a similar thing with a dear friend as depicted at the end of season 3 in the mid 8o's due to the aids epidemic. Very well done!!!! My love to you both with a thank you for years of entertainment!

[@cycleforwardtime]

Love these two ladies and their show!

[@WarlordMoA]

Oh these two are fun. Hey Jane and Lilly, a drink sometime?

[@Freesingskills19]

two grande dames doing great things-- way more than just being consummate entertainers

[@lindathalman3506]

Totally hilarious as is their show, Jane is a hero and so is Lily.

[@megmo05]

These two are freaking fantastic! Jane & Lily are LEGENDS

[@renaoooh5095]

Man oh man I fucking love them

[@marilynjones5749]

Adult diapers=Trumpers=holds in ALL the Leaks. 😂

[@cheriegreen4231]

Marilyn Jones so good!!!

[@camelia1296]

You guys promoting Season 3, while I already finished it

[@gracevella880]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="372">6:12</a>........Jane delivers straight faced and sharp. Hilarious!!

[@camillevoyage9727]

Also I want a ménage à moi lol

[@moeezS]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="371">6:11</a> "I have an idea for a new business model for Trump. Adult diapers, they could be called Trumpers. To help with all the leaks!" Jane Fonda is hilarious! She could do stand up.

[@therebex23]

"9 to 5" was groundbreaking? No no no...it was glass ceiling shattering ;)

[@dys0nic]

I love that Jane made sure to plug PP before the interview was over. This country needs more women like these two

[@denisefallin8042]

Love these 2!

[@visualhatefvck]

two very very lovely ladies ♥♥♥ (btw: I saw the two seasons of grace & frankie...maybe 10times hahahah -love the show!!!) much love from germany ♥

[@David-sp9vd]

Stop having old people. My father used to go to Jane's place in LA to strategize the revolution. Thanks, she seems like a real person.

[@RiordanLadyGaga]

The show (Grace & Frankie) is sooo amazing!!! 😍 recommend

[@BB-sc1gc]

Great interview.

[@ashleylavergne4327]

I adore this show! Admire and love these 2 ladies. Queens in my book

[@Pidxr]

Where's Dolly?

[@therebex23]

Haha why would Dolly be promoting Grace and Frankie?

[@gabzz72]

She ought to make an appearance in an episode 😅

[@abyan546]

Omg I love that.. please makes these interviews LONGER!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@caskettsolo7925]

These women are literally Grace and Frankie, relationship wise. When you see these actors who have these friendships that are long lasting and how they’re just so easy with each other, I hope to find such a friendship when I’m older. Even Maggie Smith and Judy Dench. I loved the story behind 9-5! And that Trumpers was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤯
