Kristin Chenoweth Shows Off Her Impeccable Dolly Parton Impression

Broadway is back, and Kristin Chenoweth is eager to be in front of a live audience again. Kristin dishes on her hopes of playing Dolly Parton on stage, and shows off her spot-on Dolly impression by singing "Jolene" and "Here You Come Again." Kristin also teases what to expect on her new Christmas album "HAPPINESS is...Christmas!" and reacts to a throwback photo of her cheerleading days in high school saying, "Oh my hair! Let's never show that again."

[@jasmina3718]

The Kelly Clarkson Show, should be hosted by the one and only Kelly Clarkson. If she is unable to do the show, there should be no show. They should just run a rerun or something, bot not have guest hosts. No matter how good of job Jay did.

[@rhettmitchell]

You can almost tell Kristin was ready to beat his ass with half the sentences he was spewing

Not a Jay Leno fan. Don't know why he subs for Kelly.

He subs for her because she obviously wanted him to...and don't you wish you had that power. When you get your own show you can call all the shots. Let me know how that works out for ya.

[@harrietthomas4032]

Is it just me, or is Jay Leno being rude to Kristin, but isn't she coming back with positivity?!...

[@caseyleemoore]

Yeah he seems to be jaded and grumpy. But she handled it well.

[@hugogts4630]

he´s just never been funny.

[@katek.4692]

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I don't see how or why one would rationally consider or interpret anything in this video as Leno being rude to Kristin whatsoever, lol. Leno’s demeanor was precisely how it always is; as far as him “being rude to Kristin” or, in general, well, again, I don't see how or why anyone would come to that conclusion or even entertain that thought, for it is pretty damn clear that the two are just exchanging banter and lightheartedly at that, lol. I'm genuinely not trying to be, nor come across as rude, mean-spirited, or anything remotely similar, let alone negative, in nature. I, just simply, do not understand what it is with people nowadays and turning anything and everything, not to mention anyone, into something negative, cynical, “bad,” “wrong,” etc., etc., especially when there tends to be, *almost* every single time, nothing remotely objective, rational, realistic, in any legitimate way, substantiating one’s negative interpretation of whatever is in question. The following is going to sound a lot harsher than I genuinely intend for it to be, which has a lot to do with people not being able, in all actuality, to hear how I would say this in a face-to-face situation, however, if anyone legitimately and wholeheartedly thinks or believes that Leno was “being rude to Kristin,” then I would respectfully suggest, and with genuine intentions, that those individuals get out into the real world more and acquire a vast array of different experiences, situations, circumstances, people, etc., especially anything that one would typically avoid for whatever reason, and develop a more adequate, reasonable, and realistic view, knowledge, understanding, and awareness of things in this world, including all types of various people, not to mention do so with a mindset and “lens,” so to speak, that is not superficial, judgemental, “black or white,” “all or nothing,” “take it at face value,” emotionally and impulsively charged, stereotypical, and lacking in not only empathy and the willingness to understand as much as one can but, furthermore, lacking in cognitive and critical thinking, reasoning, and judgment. It would also be beneficial and crucial for people to hold themselves accountable whenever they start to fixate on or unnecessarily look for the negatives in things or people as opposed to focusing more, as much as one can, on positive aspects of life, any situation, people, and so on; there is an undeniable and relentless issue with people, nowadays especially, and as I somewhat mentioned, turning everything into a “bad thing” or a “negative situation” for no solid or valid reason. If anything, all that type of mentality shows is that someone lacks an accurate, precise, realistic, and legitimate understanding of whatever precisely it is that they perceive something or someone as being or exhibiting. One last thing *[kind of, lol].* When it comes to something like “rudeness,” along with a long list of other things in life, and outside of specific situations where one’s behavior is undoubtedly and blatantly rude, it is something that is, in many cases, entirely subjective, which means that just because one person may perceive someone else as acting “rude,” not only doesn't mean that others will possess the same sentiment or outlook but it, furthermore, does not make that person, as far as the one who views the specific individual as acting rude, correct or even valid in their perspective of that person’s behavior. This situation with Leno is one of those circumstances where OP’s notion that he was “being rude to Kristin” is entirely subjective; not only that but based on what this video shows, precisely and explicitly, there is nothing that cognitively or rationally supports that reaction.

Why is Jay Leno back? He is the exact opposite of Kelly and Kristin. He said the worst things about women on his show, so misogynistic. His brand of talk show host is dated and dead as it should be. Do better NBC.

[@elphbwckd212]

Why does Kristin not like men who know fashion brands? That was very off-putting. As if knowing or caring about fashion would make someone less of a man for her. Gross. I love her, but that was just bad and uncalled for. Does she consider men in fashion not manly? Ew ew ew. I had to stop there.

[@jeffreyzeiss1326]

I'm confused because she says she's a Christian and follows scripture you to clarify any misunderstanding that she was dating Ariana Grande she said "not that there's anything wrong with it" but scripture clearly states multiple times including Leviticus 18:22
