Viola Davis on Playing Michelle Obama, Reading Her Daughter’s Texts & Her Many Awards
Комедия

Viola speaks to everyone as if they were her own family, it's refreshing and I have so much more respect and love for her!
I've never actually watched Viola in an interview. She's awesome. I love it when a celebrity doesn't seem like they're playing a character. Jimmy showed her much love and respect, too. This was a joy to watch.

So many things I adore about the terrific Viola Davis-her laughter, her brilliant mind, her talents, her charisma, her beauty, her many awards, etc… what a wonderful thing to live during her lifetime. Thank you Viola for your many gifts. 🙏🏽You are loved! 💖
As much as I've seen her acting in movies and shows over the years, this is my first time ever watching her do an interview! I loved it! She's so awesome.
Her roles are normally so serious and she's such a great actress that when I first started watching this, I thought she'd had a drink or two. However, it's just her natural personality and she seems like a great laugh.

Thank you Ms Davis . For everything you've done.
I love her. She's an amazing actress. But she seems like a lot of fun to hang with.
Viola is simply the best interviewee I've seen on Kimmel
What a beautiful woman. She seems like one of the good ones. Genuine to the core. So much respect for this woman.
Absolutely love her acting!!! 💓💓💓💓
VIola is so real! Love her. And such a brilliant actress too!
Viola Davis has such an expressive face! I was cracking up when she was looking at Jimmy after her asked did she want him to send Michelle the show! Also loved that suit! Such a talented lady…her husband sounds hilarious too (although I’m pretty sure he’s not trying to be George Jefferson 🤣)
I love her!! She’s sooo relaxed and soooo real.
i love Viola's reaction after Jimmy asked "do you want me to do this?" (contact Michelle) 8:46
Annalise Keating is so cute! She's almost an EGOT, I need Viola to win a Grammy. I love her! 🥺
Viola Davis is my biggest celebrity crush since Cate Blanchett. She is the bomb! Funny, intelligent, and talented. I swear I’d divorce my husband if I ever have a chance with her. 🤣🤣🤣
The woman's a spell-binding genius of an actress!
VIOLA'S LAUGH IS EVERYTHING....

Viola is such a gem and hilarious as Genesis' Mom!
Loved this whole interview from start to finish. The laughs between Viola and Jimmy were genuine. She tells some great stories and the faces she makes are hilarious. Would love to be on a zoom call with her just to see her whip the wig off!😂🤣😂
Viola is a gift to our world!
That laugh 😂😂😂😂 she is a diamond 💎
Love Viola, amazing and believable actress 😍🤎
She lights up when she talks about her husband. I love that.
the most real guest i have ever seen or heard.
Thanks for the love, Viola! We're happy to hear that your family is using Greenlight. P.S. You can add store-specific spend controls so Genesis can learn how to spend wisely at Starbucks 😉
Annalis Keating remains the best character embodied by Viola Davis
Gorgeous woman and so talented.
That laugh is an absolute rocker, she is simply wonderful 💖
Viola, one of the top 10 actors/actresses, she’s incredible. Really enjoyed her as Amanda Waller, hoping to see her again in season 2 of Peacemaker.
Her husband sounds hilarious! 🤣
I'm going to watch just for her! She's a brilliant actor 👏
Love Viola, she is down to earth and relatable!
Viola, is by far one of the greatest actress of are time. Glad to see her as the person she is. Just a funny person. God bless her .
She is adorable !
*I first saw her in HTGAWM and I have no words,genuinely*
I agree with all of the positive comments below. It's so great when the host and the guest work together like they've been a team for years already. A lot of good laughs here. This Jimmy is underrated.
Ms Viola is such a delight. Luv seeing her get interviewed!
You know what's so strange. When she acts she comes across as scary and intimidating. But in real life she so soft and bubbly. She seems like she'd be very cool to hang with.
She is so beautiful. I love the monologs of late night shows. Hate celebrity interviews but could not click fast enough on this video.
She deserves an Oscar for each interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She has an awesome personality
Miss Davis is a magnificent actor. I loved her in "Widows".
I love her. I met her at our high school Central falls high school RI she is very kind and one of the best actriz in the world.

I think Viola is phenomenal! There's so many, there's countless roles that she has played that were just outstanding.... But I think my favorite role she plays is Denzel's wife in the movie "Fences". We all know how good Denzel is, arguably the best ever, but I don't care what anyone says, Viola Davis steals the show in that movie "Fences"! She outshines Denzel right there!
