I wish this interview was longer, Seth! Her radiance and joyous energy is electrifying, and it's always so endearing to see such talent love you like us Jackals do ❤

[@courtney-ray]

Right?! Nine minutes? Listen, this could’ve easily been twice as long and I would have wanted more! Love her!

[@samnelson2343]

I completely agree. From london and I don't watch TV, just youtoob so I've never encountered this delightful woman before....I could, like you two, have watched this for muiiuch longer.

[@peachesandpoets]

She is such a charmer. I've watched her with enchantment since I was a little girl.

[@HanmaHeiro]

Love this comment for the call back to our collective name

[@Science_Labs_]

This is the opposite of a Roast, what’s that called? Just complements and genuine adoration. How genuine and lovely.

[@TheJipson88]

A Toast? 🎉 Roasts and Toasts is a concept, clock it! 🤔🧐🤯

[@MakerOfChase]

I fucking LOVE her. The pose as came out just sent me! I dont think Seth could blush more 😅 I too was gagged at the most beautiful interracial couple of Christmas! Ms. Sheryl is a national treasure that must be protected at all costs!!

[@florencedelvalle8145]

The Mrs. Claus hat cut to the SIDE was EVERYTHING!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹🌹🌹💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

[@blind_t2]

listen, her in NYC last year cannot be topped! we all agreed, hallmark or ABC needed to start thinking of ideas of an animated musical or special which features her as the Mrs.

[@brynneholt1990]

I feel classier just watching this.

[@SethMeyers-dh1hr]

I want to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes... Oh well since I got too many messages over at my blue print I account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today. Kisses 💋to your lovely heart

[@gloriasmom2045]

Lol. She just exudes grace and class 😍

[@IsaDesOsiers]

Sheryl Lee Ralph is just so so charming in every interview!

Seth said goodt with a T on the end 😂 1:06

[@isaiahayers1550]

I thought the T was at the beginning of "here."

[@Peachyqueen23]

@@isaiahayers1550 he tried🤣

[@rockanroleropr3467]

It’s raining like crazy where I am right now… so glad to have this ray of light shining down on me, on all of us really 🙌🏻🎉☀️

[@latenitecaptain]

WOW. Sheryl speaks like an Activist on every subject. That's awesome. Ask her, What Time Is It? I LOOKED AT MY WATCH AND KNEW, LIKE JESUS DID, IT WAS TIME TO WORK.

[@deltasceptile7805]

I'll always remember Sheryl Lee Ralph as Rita from Oliver & Company.

[@yaya_97]

I love watching her character on the show, but I love watching her interviews even more. The energy she gives off is truly magnificent even through the screen. I can't help but be captured by her. She's so so so so so so great.

[@thalia326]

I've been watching her since she was on a show called It's A Living back in the 80s. Always loved her!

[@courtney-ray]

I absolutely ADORE Sheryl Lee Ralph! 😍 And when she came out on that float as Mrs. Claus…🤶🏽 BAY-BEEEEE!!! Social media LIT UP! 💥 Santa who? 🤔 She is the embodiment of style and grace! We were all so IMMENSELY proud! ❤❤❤ And continue to be! She is electric!

[@florencedelvalle8145]

💯totally agree! When I realized she was Mrs Claus on the float I screamed out loud and hit rewind on my tv , then I paused it so I could really take the moment in! I have a screenshot of her in that costume (which was awesome btw) on my aura frame! So gorgeous and inspirational!🥰🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

[@blind_t2]

I kid you not! I was on my twitter tl like, hallmark, ABC, y’all better start writing that script for next christmas, we need her as the Mrs. in an animated movie or musical for the holiday. this finna be the year’s watch. even after the holiday. I’m watching that no matter what! let Mrs. Clause sang and give Santa his life! oh, and if a bad guy try to run up, she will not hesitate to put them in they place.

[@blind_t2]

who knew! Mrs. Howard got some magic in her. teacher by day, magician by night, cause baby she went home that day and transformed herself into the holiday season’s better half. I saw that tweet from sheryl like, y’all better watch til the end, and I’m like, when Sheryl says watch til the end, you darn right we watching til the freaking end, I do not wanna miss what she says finna happen. then soon as she said she was Mrs. Clause, I’m screamed from the top of my lungs, had my family like, is everything alright in there? I’m like, everything’s cool, but look who that is! my granny was the only one that got me cause she is a daily watcher of abbott. she’s like, isn’t that the girl that play Mrs. Howard? I’m like, yes that is!

[@Monika-mh2je]

She's so delightful. 😊 I'm so happy for her.

[@christenford3864]

This woman is gorgeous

[@Squirrel36]

I believe you! She is beautiful!!!!

[@treehouse318]

it has taken FOREVER for Abbott Elementary to come back! and Sheryl Lee Ralph is everything.❤

[@tootswoots]

I first saw her in Tig Notaro's One Mississippi! She was so underrated-ly great in that!! She's charming as hell here too! We can clearly see Seth was enchanted by her. ♥

[@badbiker666]

Wow - I never heard of this woman before this interview and I must say ... I am impressed. What a stage presence she projects!!! She seems exactly like the kind of person I would want to associate with in any circumstances. If she worked in an office, I could see myself getting fired for spending too much time talking to her instead of doing my actual job. Beautiful woman, too, which would probably get me into even more trouble in that fictitious office.

[@angelas9122]

She’s had a long career. Look her up, you won’t be disappointed.

[@originalsuki]

I nearly choked when she stepped out from the wings. Goddamn! That outfit... she was smokin'!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Yeah, REALLY!!

[@stevennieves3327]

For anyone who doesn't know who Darren Star is, he is a writer, director, and producer who created Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Sex & The City, Younger, and Emily in Paris to name a few.

[@michaelmaps2004]

Thank you

[@krw26]

Omg! Beauty and class is her name 😍😍🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@adey126]

I’ve loved her since Brandy and Sister Act.

[@toddanthony6664]

I met her once 8 years ago. She really is sunshine in human form.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love your show seth meyers

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Seth is slaying with the female guests this week. Molly Ringwald, Dakota Johnson and Sheryl Lee Ralph. COOL!

[@keeshiabrie]

0:44 stopping to pose oh I LOVE HER

[@phillylilmermaid7802]

RU!!! I had no idea Sheryl went to Rutgers too. I also didn't even know RGB taught there oops.

[@TheJipson88]

Clothier Hall, Fat Sandwiches, Brower, Frat Row, Tailgating, Easton Avenue SCILS R-UuuUuU 😅

[@screenplaya4562]

The question on everyone lips? Does Sheryl Lee Ralph even Day Drink?

[@deborahchasteen3206]

I bet she doesn't, but fingers crossed.

[@dakotac180]

Sheryl is the personification of a black queen. I love her!

[@Squirrel36]

Amen!

[@ricthegr8]

What a fucking queen. I can’t even handle it.

[@waynebrowne1063]

Wow, she looks AMAZING!! And she’s 67!

[@jangoeminne3876]

Hey, that's the woman from In the Evening, what a disco banger!

[@peachesandpoets]

She is such a charmer. Wow

[@Mr.Magic4ever]

She's so fantastic!!! 👏👏👏👏❤❤

[@terrancekayton007]

What an encapsulating experience and great guest!

[@maddiek1980]

As a non-American, Orlando Bloom sounds pretty English. Lots of posh people name their children Orlando. But now she mentions it…

[@ayeeshahm9078]

She is absolutely stunning,and so charming and charismatic ❤

[@kingmonde]

Shed so beautiful.

[@neonlooiz]

I could watch her talk forever 😆😍

[@AndreaChaskin]

Now I know what a perfect person is like.

[@AbigailSmith-wk7yu]

OMG E.T. , what a bunch of brutes, i can't believe that they did such thing to you.

[@HanmaHeiro]

Holy smokes she looked great in the ad for the show. But walking out had me acting like a zoot suit fella from the 1920s

[@MsAngelaCrystal]

She is that girl!!! Gorgeous as ever 😍

[@lyndi9082]

Can this woman make an entrance or what!!!! I LOVE Sheryl Lee Ralph!!!!!

[@TighelanderII]

I was a fan of RBG until her ego let Conservatives ruin the country.

[@deborahchasteen3206]

Exactly. I'm still livid when I hear her name.

[@N8huff]

She must’ve accidentally said the guest stars name 😂

[@dianehartung5954]

IAm the same way!! Cant remember Names!! Its imbarising

[@gsatrebuisson]

What's the Jackal version of asking for the unedited version of this interview where Miss Ralph obviously spills spoilers and goes into stories that go on forever and can we have it pretty please

[@kevinmcguire5696]

Deena Jones herself!

[@curtisholsinger6023]

Damn, she's an excellent hype woman

[@WhatsThePointBahamas]

Yes we know her from Abbott but she also was a Stepmother to Moesha

[@angelginorio9542]

Am I crazy or do we need a comedy starting Jenifer Lewis and Sheryl Lee Ralph as sisters cause they look a lot alike

[@MaxineShaw_84]

Divine.

[@alexaales7937]

on one hand i find her super endearing - on the other hand i find her overly dramatic, same with her acceptance speeches. so i am not sure if i like her or find her super annoying, it's a toss up. but all the best to her!

[@ryanmichaels297]

I always laugh that the outros, where he does the read out on where people can watch shows are barely audible. Speak up Seth haha

[@Phil-tt3xg]

Why was this so edited?
