Do you know that you can go on the Kennedy Center website and nominate her? they take nominations from the general public and I would suggest doing it soon.

You sould be a casting director! Those are both excellent selections. Tabitha Brown resembles Leslie Uggams. After seeing Queen Latifah in the film, "Chicago", I can defintely see her portraying Pearl Bailey. Dana Owens is a world class rapper, and her singing and acting are top notch.

My girl, always fabulous!!!! Never heard anything bad about her!!!!❤❤❤❤

Tamron's referential, celebratory and respectful introduction of the legendary Miss Uggams was so sweet and moving. Miss Uggams is, indeed, a true legend and I can only imagine how excited Tamron and her entire staff were to have her on their show. She seems more like a woman in her 50s, not anywhere near 80! She continues to amaze and astound us. ❤

I love me some Leslie Uggams. Tabitha Brown reminds me of a young her. Tabitha cuss to Mrs Uggams😂😂

LIVING LEGEND, Ms. Leslie Uggams. An ageless BEAUTY.

Yes Ms. Uggams. I've always felt she was a phenomenon actress.

This glow is remarkable black truly doesn't crack..love us ❤❤❤

Well, I learned something new today. I am so impressed. I did not know she was married. I didn’t know she was still acting and playing on Broadway. Oh I am she moved me. In route roots our OT classic classic you go Leslie go❤

I have had the great pleasure of seeing Miss Uggams on stage many times, and unfortunately, she hasn’t received the fanfare. She deserves, because in two major Broadway shows she was a replacement, far better than the original, and the revival of on golden Pond, with the great James, Earl Jones, had to close early because of his medical issues. I saw her in Mame a few years ago and she was glorious.

PTL Ladies…this is truly an honor; thank you so much for sharing! You are truly beautiful Ms. Leslie; the best 80 ever. I’m 74+; you are so encouraging, thank you 💯💌!

I Love Ms. Leslie Uggams. Her outstanding career in the entertainment industry is unbelievable. She is so beautiful and talented. We must salute this famous actress and give her every award that she deserve for all of her achievements. 💐 💐

I love Leslie Uggams and watched her on tv since I was a kid in the 60s. Seems not just she but Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, and Gladys Knight are all turning 80 and each lady is blessed to still be doing what they love.

This was a fun interview. She is a queen.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember when Leslie Uggams used to sing on the Mitch Miller Hour, it was a variety show in the 60s. I always thought she was so beautiful and she wore the most exquisite dresses. As a little girl it was so wonderful seeing someone that looked like me my mom. God bless her at her 80s and beyond. Also, she was Lucius’ mom on Empire.🥰🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

Had no idea this Queen was such a trailblazer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wow what a legend. I'll always remember her as kizzy in roots. What a multi talented actress singer. Keep on paying the luv forward ❤️

Leslie is a beautiful, talented lady, talented actress/entertainer and a legend.

OMG, she is so very precious ... I just love her.

I remember her from my childhood! Such great times with great talent!❤

I recently saw Leslie Uggams on stage here in New York in a production of Jelly's Last Jam at City Center. Her voice is just as strong and as powerful as ever.

Wow this was a great interview and so inspiring. Leslie Uggams has always been one of my favorite actors. I’m so glad to see she’s getting her recognition.

I just love how she is 80 years old and out here living her best life! Superhero movies, Oscar nominated films, and Fallout tv series!

Leslie Uggams is Amazing..and love her in Dead Pool.❤ And American Fiction is a must see now that I know it has her And Jeffrey Wright ❤

Loved her since I was 9 yrs old. Love he❤❤

Wow she is beautiful to be 80 now I have to go watch Deadpool. N she's fun n funny I like her

NICE TAMRON WOW I REALLY FORGOT ABOUT MRS.UGUMMES ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HER ACTING SINCE ROOTS BUT IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE HER AND KNOW SHE'S AS ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT 👍👍👍

Beautiful

Love This Wonderful Legend Leslie Uggams 😍😍🤗🤗❤️❤️ A Fantastic ACTOR AND PERFORMER 👍👍❤️

I fondly remember Leslie Uggams when she was featured on the Mitch Miller Show. Her voice/her stage presence--so powerful in one so young.

A beautiful woman. A legend! She makes 80 look great! I want to look like her when I'm 80.🥰🙏

She warms my heart

Love Ms. Uggams!!! Thank you.

She is a legend and Icon. You go Sister!!!

Great, great show Tamron. Bravo. I had to watch it twice. Ms. Leslie Uggam ❤ is beautiful and extremely talented. And!!! She doesn’t have the junk pumped in her face. Natural beauty. ❤️80! my goodness, I’m flabbergasted. Y’all should watch her documentary. It’ll blow you away in a good way. ☺️

I was actually named after the *BEAUTIFUL* Ms. Leslie Uggams whom my grandmother used to watch on *All My Children* in the 70’s. 💜💜💜

The welling up in her eyes is giving me chills!!! God bless you Miss Uggams!! You’re a treat and a pleasure to watch over the years in my short life from Roots to American Fiction! All stunning performances and I had no idea about your own variety show. AND, you cancelled the Smothers Brothers?!?! Whaaaaaaat?!?!? This is why our history is so super inspiring, interesting and important! To everyone!!!✊🏿

Beautiful lady 💞💞🇧🇧🇨🇦

I love you Ms Leslie uggams my favorite actress of all time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I live in New York City and I have seen Leslie and her husband walking down the street together holding hands like two lovebirds. This was a great interview. Her earthiness is so delightful.

I believe Leslie Uggams is the first woman l fell in love with at age three years old. The show was “Sing Along With Mitch”,64 years ago.

The sentiment that "Black Does Not Crack" is certainly not lost on Leslie Uggams. Not only is she a consummate actress she is a legend that is re-writing the script on what it means to be human. Love her.

She looks amazing at 80 years old. Not a day over 50

I am so old, I remember Leslie on Sing Along With Mitch !

MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESSINGS HER 🙏

I've always loved Leslie Uggams & after this interview I love her 'even' more❤🎉❤

Leslie looks very well. Terry

I just watched it a few weeks ago because I was bored and there wasn't anything else to watch and I thought it was great. I then googled her (although I have watched Roots twice in the past) and discovered what a great voice she has

I remember Leslie Ugams from the 60's.

She has a beautiful smile! Like Tabitha Brown.

Amazed that this legend still keeps on tickin’…not content with her appearance in an Oscar-nominated film, she also delivers in the Fallout TV series

I Had An Aunt That Looked Just Like Leslie Uggams!❤❤😊

Beautiful lady. Do not 80 at all. Bless her 🙏🏻

I remember her on Mitch Miller show....😊

Leslie Uggams is a Beautiful woman 😍😍 and I really Enjoy Watching Her in Dead Pool Movies 👍👍

She is a very beautiful lady.

I think I remember seeing her on the Lawrence Welk Show; I definitely remember her as a semi-regular on the Mitch Miller Show. I thought she was the most beautiful creature living. I watched her tv show. I don't really remember it but I would if I saw it again.

Black don't crack! She looks AMAZING! ❤❤❤
