We have a mandarin duck here in Burnaby, BC, Canada!
Great person!
Beside her performance persona which is to be understood her act. This gal is full of rage and discontent. She has railed agaisnt President Trump in an unprecedented manner. One of the very few up front performers who speaks often and with consistency in way very very unbecoming to civil society.
Love her👍🤣♥
A shame she has been cheated out of a year of her life by the won ton virus , and the liberal left. She's always been a favorite, but her " 'Wind beneath my Wings " could not hold a candle to Shenna Easton's original version.
Love this!
How did she get vaccinated? I am high risk and still waiting
Bette is very funny too.
I've adored Bette for years and (choke, er, choke ...) YEARS!
Wow! Shes still going strong. Looking well too. Shes like 75 76yrs old now.. 😁😁😁
With every ounce of her extraordinary humor and talent she has managed to make a happy, healthy, full life in her long marriage and with her daughter and friends and fellow artists.
You’re not free and clear after you’ve been vaccinated. I don’t understand what they mean talking about a two week wait.
She's still divine.
I have no words.... white privilege..... vaccinations.
She is always a joy to see
White House on the Hill breeds these ducks!
I went to see Bette Midler in concert alone, and I loved every. single. minute. of. it. While I was there, I was no longer alone. The entire audience became my friends. One of the most amazing nights of my life, I will never forget it.
Ok, so who is going to find that Johnny Carson clip right now??!??!?
Thank you Miss M!
Everyone, please go to the Kennedy Center Honors website and nominate Bette. While you’re there, nominate Barry Manilow too. They both deserve to be honored and it would be great if they were honored in the same ceremony.
She looks absolutely beautiful!!! wow
The Mandarin Duck is a close relative of the North American Wood Duck. The females of the two species are virtually identical.

I love love love her from the beginning until now!!
I love her. She is so beautiful.
Yes, Bette Midler is great! I love her voice and the way she looks, her squinty eyes are great! And I always loved the way she moved and danced, her whole persona!!!! I love her personality and the sound of her voice!
What a disgusting person. Yuk
Well some of us think it is worse, do you listen to Biden speaking and how confused he is. This is really sad.
That after vac relief she referenced is something that you simply have to experience. It is not describable. This is not snark. I really mean it.
I feel like we're finally in the last chapter of a Stephen King novel.
I adore Bette Midler and RIGHT NOW I have a Mandarin Duck in a pond in my backyard that showed up mysteriously!!! Honest!
She is a big hipocrite...used to like her but no more.
Rockin’ the silver hair, love it!
It's a delight to watch Bette, almost expect her to make me laugh just by being herself. Love how good her marriage is. That duck is so BEAUTIFUL.
Love you Bette
Harold Hill.... "The Far East" is what people used to call East Asia. Bette looks great, nice to see her being low key.
One of his best interviews ever. Just perfect.
She’s amazingly talented.
Didn't see this program, but just seeing Jimmy and Bette's name in print makes me sick. Disgusting people.
I follow Bette on Twitter--she's outrageous. Full of spirit and takes no prisoners. lol I love her.
Thank you, Jimmy I love Bette. Have to go my son is bring In and Out.
Bette does have a marriage song. We got married in 73 and while we were getting ready my husband to be put on my Better Midler album where she “ Going to the chapel. Going to get married...😄
I met her in person, she wasn’t friendly at all...I also met Robin Williams who was very kind...
I met Bette, and have talked to MANY others in several different states that have said nothing but kind & wonderful about their encounter w/ her. How many people of her status spend several days a week in overalls w/ther child and husband picking up trash in parks and tires etc dumped in ditches? She started doing it almost 30yrs ago. Too bad your personality clashed w/hers.
used be one of my favs, before her fall...... very sad indeed.
I don't know why exactly but I have a soul connection with Bette Miller,i think she is an outstanding & funny actress and she's one of "my best-movie friends" in my heart. P.s. "You're looking beautiful!"
I always liked her so much until she got political.
Ditto....lost a lot of respect for her ....but im a nobody to her
She is The Rose
Evil hateful and ugly has been.
Let’s hope her vaccine has an adverse effect on her... still can’t believe she never had that nose fixed. Lol.
Still beautiful, smart and real.
Love her . At our age it is hard enough ❤️🤪
I love Bette sooooo much!!!
Love her smiling eyes! Her talent..."so much talent and I can't even yodel!"
Awesome interview
Thanks Jimmy Kimmel, Guillermo Rodriguez Et Al.🙂
I love this woman. Beaches the best movie ever! Love her singing, too.
I love Bette’s movies, think she’s a wonderful actress and singer, and loved seeing her on this show but...I feel like she totally stole that girl’s idea for the children’s book. This poor woman who studies birds had been in Central Park documenting this bird and she wanted to write a story about it and Bette just decided to do it...? I know the woman said she’s not a writer but maybe Bette could’ve helped and her having her name attached would have helped the girl get her story published. It seems really weird that Bette wrote this story that she had no connection to at all. Maybe I’m the only one that thinks that though lol
I love you Jimmy !
“Oh you know what Bette... I can’t sing.” OMG. Love them both!
Wait til she has her first grandchild!
getting an experimental transgenic transhumanistic vaccine...not very smart. At least wait for next year and see how it played out for the people around you. In the meantime work on busting your immune system.
No thanks, not a big fan. I thought when one retires they kinda go away.
I love you Bette Midler! What a gracious person!
The amazing berry noticeably milk because heaven concretely learn versus a possessive periodical. squeamish, confused trowel
I just adore her♡ she's forever the 1 could be your besty,
She makes me smile till it hurts. 😁 💜 her!
I just love her❤️

Could have been worse- no zoom and no social media during pandemic We love Bette Midler- I followed her since freshman year in college - pall’s mall in Boston where Barry Manikow was playing piano and Melissa Ethridge and friend were part of the Harlette’s - never missed a Bette Midler show- congrats to Bette on daughter’s wedding - pss - we share many friends too

Midler is such a cruel woman. Her tweets are so mean. She hates Trump but she took his shots. Horrible woman
Regine Mann, Trump didn’t own the shots.
The divine Miss M is still The best !
Love her. She is a classy lady. Met her in Vegas. She was soooo gracious and kind. A true star!
I totally Love Bette, she is always Real!
He probably escaped the butcher and was intended to be the duck in a "Peking Duck" dinner.
Love you Bett! Beautiful! Amazing woman and vocal talent
Please don't tell me it's been 48 years since "The Rose". Those was crazy days. They had albums then and l bought that one. Listened to it over and over. Loved it! " What do you do when your man comes home about 3 am with the smell of another women on his persons. Do you say " hop in honey the waters warm!" Oh, do you say "pack your bags Mother F.......! She was awesome in that film and still looks great. Good seeing her again. Keep acting we miss you. ❤️
Bette Midler.... one of my favourite singers and actresses. Loved her in " Beaches " . She has such a powerful voice and is such a dynamic extrovert. Love her !!

Attacking the dead makes her the ultimate skank.
Amazing CC. To me.🦊💖
It's so good to see the legendary Divine Miss M and she looks wonderful. I couldn't agree with her more about the "pall" we've all been experiencing these past 4 years. Hard to explain because we've never gone through anything like this, not just pandemic, but all of it! Will be ordering The Tale of the Manderin Duck for Grandchildren. Thank you, TDMM, for music that will always remain classic.
I saw that first time on Johnny Carson and have been in love ever since.
I love Bette!!!!
That was an absolute joy to behold! Bette Midler is glorious and Jimmy delivered a quietly respectful and a genuine attentive interview. I just received my second shot as well and couldn’t quite articulate how it affected my state of being but Miss Bette helped give perspective. I’m going to purchase this book to commemorate my final vaccination. Who knew a Duck and Bette Midler would de clutter my COVID brain!
I simply love this woman. 💐😍
Love her more today than yesteryear! 🥰❤️👏
I defy ANYONE to watch Ms.Midler on stage or film and NOT immediately become a total fan! (Apparently, sadly, the TV audience didn't fully appreciate her? BOOOOOO on them!!!) What a truly GREAT talent.
The busy shoe findingsinitially exist because geometry conceivably brake except a merciful bugle. shaky, married actress
her first appearance on ' the tonight show ' was the high point of that long running show , and sealed her future as a star !
Her face is tight as a drum!!
The overwrought ramie worrisomely risk because door astonishingly challenge beneath a special pressure. polite, adjoining furniture
Always wonderful to see her. She is still fabulous! Love her!
Cool interview 🙂 Fun stories. Have always admired her talent. The facial expression about Las Vegas said it all. 😀 I could relate to the duck, have 1 or 2 stories of my own ~ good luck and smooth sailing ⛵
He said he...she has been pulled and stuffed
