Lily Tomlin on Night After Night

- Lily Tomlin appears on Night After Night to pitch her new movie, "The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe."
But instead of appearing as herself, she is interviewed as "Kate", a wealthy Manhattan socialite who bankrolled the movie and only has a passing acquaintance with Lily Tomlin. Further, it appears she doesn't even like Lily that much. Alan does a great job playing along, acting at times as if he's genuinely disgusted with Kate. This is brilliant television.
Unfortunately, this is only the second half of the interview and because of UA-cam's 11 minute limit, I had to fade out before Alan's outro to the commercial.
Money line: "But I do admire Mr. Allen. He's intellectually superior to Ms. Tomlin."
She is one of the most intelligent and talented people I've ever seen. Her story telling brilliance is breathtaking. I hope she and Jane have dozens more happy years together!
Cinder Ellie I agree totally😍✝️💟
Saw her play three times in Chicago. Years later she was coming to our town to perform so I had some t-shirts made up that friends and I wore that said, "Stop talking about the cake!"
Wrote her a long note & told her we were LGBT & were going to be in the audience wearing the shirts. Got there early and a sweet guy came over & said to stay in our seats after the performance and he would come and get us. She performed the bit that included the quote and did a little wink and gesture to us in particular two seconds before the spotlight went off.
So my friends and I got to meet her, (along with some other lucky folks) give her flowers and have a few photos taken with her. Such a sweetheart, she started to walk away and I called out her name, she stopped and we hugged good-bye. It was a very special evening since she has been one of my fav all time performers since the days of "Laugh In."
This inteview is fun as hell, so love her comedic genius & the characters she creates. She has some great stories about the things she and her brother would do growing up, where the basis of her comedic life was already forming.
Long live the Lily!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how an actor commits to a character.
Lily using this character to publicly honor her partner in a way she otherwise couldn’t is brilliant. Queer women will always reign supreme.
She’s also able to use the character to be an ass back to this asshole host
🎉
😮ok
The on stage 19 interview she is in character for the whole time with amazing observations on her own work! Saw her first Broadway show in NY - went to it 5x and met her backstage on one occasion... She had all of us who were stage door people sign our autograph for her on one of those large board meeting flip pads... I was on the page with Carol Burnett since she ws there that night too. Had two t- shirts from The Bottom Line as a gift for her and Jane Wagner. She was quite touched as not many people acknowledged Jane. Such a class act she wrote me a thank you note for the shirts. Got it and the poster from the show framed. Years later it was destroyed by water damage in a storage unit. Replaced with a poster from her second show signed by her and Jane.
If only I had the first part! I taped this segment only because the first part was so amazing and I wanted to get the rest of it on tape.
Brilliant. She is simply brilliant.
I’ve seen you 100 times. the greatest performer! Lily gives all she has. beautiful!!!!!!!!
I love Lilly and Jane . So awesome!
love her hair style..
Kate is my favorite character in the play. So great to see her in this interview.
Extraordinary!
This woman is an absolute genius!!!
I'm struck by how much Kate is like Alicia Florrick from The Good Wife!! If this were done today it would seem like a direct parody.
Josh Drayton RIGHT 🤣
This is a genius in comedy.
Lily is a genius. So is Jane.
You could see the wheels turning in her head when he asked her, "Do you believe in Christ?", like oh boy do I make a joke of this to be funny or risk alienating a large number of fans, Oh man Oh man ughhhh, "Of course" lol.
I need to ck Amazon and see if this is on dvd...I loaned out my vhs copy years ago..I need to re-new my love for this show!!
Love her , she is just fantastic!
super de duper witty and so obviously hilarious at the 3rd person ability
wow this is some META ass comedies!
@mwoelfle darn it. this is so wonderful, i want to see the rest so bad!
Isn't she great!!
Brilliant
Why does this look like Aubrey plaza doing an interview
Fucking genius
The greatest.
WOW
Idiotic host? You do realize that this interview was, in the parlance of pro wrestling, a "work", right? Alan Havey and Lily Tomlin were both in the ruse. There was no actual animosity or discomfort for either of them.
It was a big time fail. He kept invading her space.
When lily role played characters with joan rivers... She wasnt a jack ass as a host(ess)
@@zippitydodaday6037 what??? you're a nut!
best one-woman-show-in-the-history-of-the-universe!
isn't it interesting how this idiotic host keeps trying to get tomlin to admit she and Jane Wagner are partners? And how Tomlin keeps sort of uncomfortably deflating him...
My opinion of this is that many actresses could have pulled this upper class character off. Not too difficult and, quite frankly, she could have been more witty IMHO.
"how did lily and jane hook up" lmao
