Dang you Mike Meyers!! Each and every time I hear, or see, something about Barbara Streisand, I remember the SNL moment she actually showed up and just surprised the whole crew including Madonna who was there in that sketch and I hear him (her) say: "Like Buttah!", still cracks me up after all these years. Barbara Streisand and Buttah go hand in hand.

I love how she really takes her time to seriously think out these seemingly trivial questions! 🥹☺️ They are so adorable together. When the first segments were released, I was longing for some more heartfelt moments with them… finally, this clip is it. If anyone wants to get to know Barbra’s mind, I would recommend the audio version of her memoir - it’s actually a breeze and a joy to listen to. So intimate and revealing of a complex and beloved icon for all these years. 👏🏆💝🌹

I have to say, I'm Jewish and gay, and grew up with Barbra but never saw Funny Girl until this past week. Her book is the most entertaining and insightful, inspirational and truthful autobiography I've ever encountered. I completed the audible version and can't recommend it more. I say Barbra Steisand is a treasure of truth and I am grateful for her devotion to all she loves. Thank you Barbra! And than you to your husband Jim.

She is one of a kind. Good to see her laugh. Stephen Colbert brought out the best in her.

Ah, the VOICE! The blessed, incomparable Barbra! Thank you for all you’ve given & continue. God Bless You.

Thank you, Barbra for Funny Girl. And all the rest that there is no way I could possibly describe how much you have changed my life for the better even though there was no way I could sing your songs at karaoke because you are simply the best.

You have to love Barbara. And I love the way Stephen handles this. Made me tear up in the end. My parents loved Streisand and they are aging in significant ways now, but I'll always remember the songs they loved.

As a young boy in Texas, your movies provided such creative escape for me, that I can’t thank you enough. Those great musicals and comedies will live forever. And those great LPs: stony end, Barbra JoanStreisand, butterfly, etc..

This old woman has a natural grace with her. Besides, she is the best singer human being has ever had.

I always loved her singing and I appreciated her as an actress but there's something different about her I think she's really really down to earth as someone mentioned and she has a very soft sense of humor about about her. It's good to see people that you don't normally see make a little joke and smile and laugh.❤

Did anyone else notice that he only asked 12 questions not 15. The most glaring omission was “What happens when we die?” I wonder if Barbara got to edit out questions she didn’t want to answer? Hmmm. Finally, the answers that Barbara did give reminded me a lot of the way Henry Winkler answered the questionnaire by adding so much back story to many answers.

Seeing Jason for the first time recently in a you tube clip. What a credit to you he is. As a very young man, I first saw Barbra at our local cinema in the film Funny Girl having no idea who she was. I was and still am, smitten. Since then, her voice and acting has never failed to give me huge pleasure.
