Queen Latifah's Dream of Playing Adam Sandler's Wife Has Come True | The Tonight Show

[@lakep7798]

Latifah is just getting more and more beautiful every year!! I’m so sorry she lost her mom!

[@payableondeath9091]

@@carrieburkey5288 I like everything she has done 👍

[@biggpapidadon7134]

Oh no she lost her mom...dangit!

[@chrisgeronimo]

"Our moms look out for us Jimmy, you gotta always know that." That was so quick and subtle, but so full of love. Two people, who know what it's like to lose their moms, taking the tiniest moment to acknowledge each other's experience and journey. That's beautiful.

[@generationx9294]

I agree with you, great comment 🙏🏽🕊💟

[@portiabingham8114]

Our moms are always looking out for us ❤️

[@tcla3854]

Jimmy is like a kid. He's so genuinely excited to have her. The Queen has that effect on people.

[@SageWolf219]

I think it’s also because they’re friends…they did a movie called Taxi which is very funny and entertaining. They probably stayed close after that

[@tcla3854]

@@SageWolf219 i didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.

[@lukecowen3907]

It's literally his job to act like that

[@marva4763]

@@lukecowen3907 it is his job but there are a few people he genuinely loves and acts a fool when the are on his show, and it really shows.😀

[@jdaddy3137]

I LOVE queen Latifah and the fact she has a movie coming out with Adam Sandler!! What!! I also love her and Jimmy did Taxi together! They have a special bond you can tell. My favorite movie was The Last Holiday with her and LL, but also loved “Bringing down the house” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mary11976]

Chicago as Mama Morton 👍 Also, Living Out Loud.

[@jasminej7991]

bringing down the house was my jam !

[@estibalyd6558]

Its Iike she stopped aging like 20 years ago. She’s so graceful and so fun.

[@payableondeath9091]

she knows how to take care of herself

[@doublepromo8240]

No. she kept aging, she did it VERY WELL.

[@Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

1:39 Jimmy saying "I didn't know what to do" sending food is one of the best things honestly. Having lost both parents a year apart, you have no will to eat , let alone cook. So, having extra incentive (free food, especially coming from a place of love, is always better) to eat is very, very useful. That said it is depressing to look at a pile of awesome food and know the reason behind it is so horrible. But that's what it's like at the beginning of intense grief. So good on ya, Jimmy. You did good. Sometimes it's one of the few things that adds levity or joy to that kind of situation.

[@LeeLooface]

It’s true. When my dad died and we got home from the funeral someone had left a massive pot of hot homemade chilli and fresh buns on our porch. We didn’t know how much we needed a decent hot meal until we polished that pot off ❤️ I’m sorry for your loss.

[@pisceschic32]

Sorry for your loss. I lost my parents 5 months apart. It was alot. I thank God for the kindness of people. I don't know how my kids and I would have made it. I kind of fell apart after my mom passed away which was like I said 5 months after my dad.
