The only Monarch we need. Right there.

Long live the queen.

Damn straight!

[@mariekastler5391]

Queen Latifah is just as wonderful in person! Met her years ago in a French Quarter dog park, and she's Totally Real! Long Happy Life to this Amazing Woman!!

[@cinnyminnie]

Met her & her bodyguard @ Six Flags YEARS ago, was just minding her business, but she was so sweet to me and the group of young girls I was with 💕

[@wideawake5630]

It comes thru the screen!

[@susanalidia1695]

Maybe she's a good person, but the show is awful, only her family could say they like it.

[@centerfold8]

Grandmother is 93, what a blessing!

[@annedwyer797]

Queen Latifah is one of the most charismatic people EVER!!

[@wideawake5630]

I remember seeing Chicago with a friend. We both had to fight our urge to stand up and applaud after every number. If I hadn't already been a Latifah fan I would have fallen in love during If You Be Good To Mama.

[@CaptainJack67]

She's gorgeous, she's wonderful, she's talented, I simply adore her. True royalty.

[@bird2308]

Really enjoyed the conversation with Queen Latifah! She's an amazing, beautiful woman who leads with compassion and grace. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@rebekahfischer218]

💕💜 I agree with my whole heart

[@ChineduOpara]

Queen Latifah is literally one of my major teenage crushes

[@FuckedUpGenius]

It's been nearly a decade and a half since I've last seen some of her work, and she hasn't aged a bit. She's looking amazing as always! ❤️

[@krokodyl1927]

Queen Latina is most definitely a timeless beauty! 🤗

[@BABYTRILLTHUGGIN_]

i wonder if she vegan??

[@cz2165]

The Equalizer with Queen L is my one not to be missed show. And the other cast members are great too.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+C Z. I'm used to Edward Woodward's version of the Equalizer. i might watch this version one day. Queen Latifah was great in Motormouth Maybelle in hairspray in 2007. The song she sung i know where I've been is one of my favourites

[@pollyannakarina]

"She taught me love" beautiful Queen.

[@vlo4373]

what good fortune that she had such a wonderful mom and what an amazing daughter that she knows it and is so moved by her love 🥰😭🥰

[@pollyannakarina]

@@vlo4373 l am from the UK and first knew Queen Latifah from her hit "Mama Gave Birth To The Soul Children" which kind of fits with what she is saying about her Mama here.

[@vlo4373]

@@pollyannakarina yes it does! and yes what a beautiful queen indeed

[@pollyannakarina]

@@vlo4373 l loved that era of Hip Hop, so full of fun & positivity & great humour. Queen Latifah, De La Soul, they were big in the UK back then. For what it's worth, l'm a white guy from the North of England!

[@vlo4373]

@@pollyannakarina so glad the world has gotten to see her brilliance 😊

[@brendamann6106]

What an incredibly gifted intelligent lady! She acts, she is a wonderful singer, she is beautiful and wise. Enjoyed watching her with our Stephen Cobert.

[@highandtight5544]

I mean how could you not just LOVE her?!

[@deborahblackshear3325]

Beautiful ♥️ Queen Latifah. I love the Equalizer also.

[@douglasspaltro2697]

Absolutely one of the most beautiful souls on our planet!

💖💕I second that!

[@hamsterchick1291]

I run karaoke at my local dive bar and me and one lady sing ur song mama is good to you EVERY WEEKEND! That is just how I start my shift ok 🤣😂

[@jeanneratterman]

The Queen stays so young looking and beautiful. Better and Better!!!! Her great good heart shines through and through!

[@kinsmed]

She is talented. She is gorgeous. But that buttery smooth voice...

[@nr30199]

I've been waiting for decades for the Queen to have a bad hair day.......still waiting 🤣. All HAIL the QUEEN

[@BABYTRILLTHUGGIN_]

i dont kno what it is about her, but i just see strength, unique, very intelligent, very intimidating, etc. i always felt like that she WELL RESPECTED.

[@TiagoNomad]

I’ve always had this huge crush on Queen Latifah. She’s fantastic.

HEY NANA!!!!! MY GMA IS MY MEME AND I LOVE HER! Love that u learned love from ur matriarch! Queen Latifah is truly a QUEEN!🙌👏

[@andrewmills2136]

She is just gorgeous love her

[@sshaw4429]

All children should speak about their mother like this. Credit due.

[@centerfold8]

Not all kids have one though

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

Yes

[@dustykashifeathers858]

Queen Latifah: "Everybody checked their ego at the door", what a zen koan of a line, that has so many cosmic connotations, thanks for that Queen L...

[@efemdesign]

When she walked in i started laughing! BUT because Colbert recently did a skit with an actress that was there. He said something like "oh you walked in like a TV Star. You need to walk in like a Movie star!" and he proceeded to show the two differences... OMG and now i see Latifah and OH BOY he was spot on. lol

[@vaultofhorror1]

To me she will always be THE QUEEN in hip hop/r&b regardless of what anyone else says. Her, Foxy Brown, Lil Kim were all awesome growing up.

[@valeriejones3808]

Really like Queen Latifah. Down to earth and caring.

[@laine1497]

Her spirit radiates like some sort of shekinah glory. Beautiful woman.

Sly sense of humor. Big, strapping gal delicately offering her hand for the host to HELP her up those wee stairs. 🤣🤣🤣😘👍

My favorite show is the Equalizer! She brings it so alive!

[@NilsFerry]

The Queen always looks great and sounds great.

[@stevercarter5317]

Truly “The Queen” 😊

[@Vera-kh8zj]

Beautiful woman, and what a taste in clothes (which would not necessarily look good on everyone). Perfect voice.

[@angelariebli4843]

She's my Queen. Will always be!

[@imgonnastealyourgirl]

Her Scary Movie 3 scenes are still making me cry with laughter.

[@jonathandufern7421]

She’s a cool cat. She is always just her and that’s great. Many have masks she doesn’t

[@papasmurf1904]

Got to love her!!! ☺ An awesome lady!

[@FluxMarsh333]

I love that I can watch this show from the UK, we have nothing that compares, and anything like political comedy is getting squeezed out by the fascists we have in power. But I would love even more if they uploaded these segments in order and I could share a similar experience as the Stateside viewership.

[@mayak.8831]

If you wait a few hours, they usually put together a playlist with the episodes in order. Just click on the Playlists tab for this channel.

[@jeanneratterman]

@@mayak.8831 This is what I do because I don’t have cable, only the internet. Choices/money. Gotta make them!

[@KatieGray1]

if you don't want to wait for playlists of the daily episode you could click to view all videos, then sort by newest. It's not always perfect but generally works.

Beauty in essence.

[@Thinkingaroundthebox]

She is so right about how we need to give love and respect to our educators I've often lamented that as a country we treat our teachers like they are baby sitters and not the educators who we rely on to teach our children the the things we are to stupid to educate them about ourselves
