Marla Gibbs deserves the Betty White treatment. She's a treasure.
She is!
Yes!
Absolutely
Yes she does
She deserves Marla Gibbs’ Treatment which should include being known and respected by all. She deserves Royal Treatment! She faced so many challenges and stilled challenged the industry standards in what she would and would not do regardless of the fact she was not being fairly compensation compared to people such as Betty White.
Marla Gibbs should be very well known as the late great Betty White was to us all.
She's not even using a Walker or a cane at 93. That's incredible, and she's in her right sound mind thank you LORD ❤🙏🏿👏🏾🎊😊
Truly a blessing🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes and her skin is glowing! Hardly any wrinkles or sagging at all. In her 90's!! I know black don't crack!
Hallelujah 🙌🏿 thank you, Jesus 🙏🏾
Marla is still a babe in her age!
The same with President Joe Biden, but yet the right-wingers keep trying to write him off as mentally incompetent because of his age and he's a decade younger than Mrs. Gibbs.
Gosh you can tell she misses the cast members who has passed on. What an amazing beautiful woman 😍😎
I think she's the only one left
Every time I've ever seen interviews with any of them, they all had an absolute blast working on that show. They said it was a shock when they pulled the plug on the series.
"Whatever's paying me at the time." What a great line! I love her.
Miss Marla is gorgeous and difficult to believe she is 93! She looks fabulous!
Marla Gibbs, still doesn't miss a beat "whichever one is paying me". She's wonderful, looks wonderful, a true lady.
It’s the purse on the shoulder for me ❤️ I still watch the Jefferson’s and 227
Same! Auntie said she ain't going nowhere without her pocketbook! 😍🥰
2:03
Listen, I was like baby she’s the only one that has brought her pocketbook with her. That I can remember 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol that’s awesome. Old ladies are the same all over; reminds me of my dear departed Mawmaw. She’s clutching her purse in all my cousin’s wedding pictures! 😂
I noticed that too!
Love how she keeps her purse on her! Old school! 😂 American treasure for sure!!
Thank you, Jennifer for having Marla Gibbs on your show! She’s a great actress, a great lady! I enjoyed growing up with her!227, Jeffersons!!
Yes, thank you
She's still really sharp! That's a blessing at 93!❤
It's a blessing to be alive at any age and yes,as we get older we will have less time on this Earth. Getting older doesn't make you lose all your factutlies. Almost 67 and still as sharp as I've always been. It's has alot to do with how. You take care of yourself. Marla looks fantastic ❤
Whatevers paying me at the time..Classic Florence One Liner...😇🤣😂 Thanks For The Laughs Marla Gibbs...😘
That’s the difference in her generation who openned doors had a totally different struggle in her career so Jennifer’s generation can be able to choose her roles.
Loved her as Florence on The Jeffersons plus the lead in 227.
Didn't she meet Hal Williams aka "Lester" on The Jefferson's?
What a sweetheart. Thank you for the laughter over the years, Marla Gibbs.
I want to give Ms. Gibbs her flowers. She is a legend.😊❤
I’m so lucky to have met Ms. Marla Gibbs in July of 2023. Such a nice and classy lady.
Wow, that's super special ❤
I feel the exact same way! I met her in 2018 on the set of a television show. I did not want to bother her and yet she motioned me to come over and take a picture wit her. Although I have met several actors, I was overcome with awe to be in her presence. Indeed, she is classy and very nice! 🫶🏽
@@emmydubyew8903 Thanks!
@@santanabraxton4658 What show?
@@maxhubmann1696 She was a guest on The Neighborhood.

I LOVE our Marla y'all! When Jennifer asked her what type of roles she prefers, and Marla said, whatever is paying her at the time - Marla reminded me of that quote that said, 'Where the Money Reside, Where the Money Reside'!😂😂😂❤😅 God Bless you Ms Marla!! Luv u! What a treasure you are!!

👍🏾💯🤗
I love Marla Gibbs. (Florence) is probably my favorite comedic actress of them all, and that says a lot because there are so many i remember from the 70's and 80's.
Every time I watch her on The Jeffersons I just want to hug her. She is hilarious and classy and beautiful.
I lived in America when the Jefferson and 227 was on. I love the show. My family said that they started showing the Jefferson in England for a while. Would love to watching them again.🇬🇧🇯🇲
Jennifer, I love your show because you bring so many legends that people doesn't even know they are still around, thanks paying tribute to these legends, keep up the good work. You really make their day also to show them they are not forgotten❤❤❤
Mouth sharp, wit sharp, memory sharp, looks sharp… wow. Miss Marla at 93!!! God blessed you and thank you for blessing us with your gift!❤
I wrote to Miss Gibbs last year, and she signed a nice photo and returned it to me. Much love and respect for you Miss Gibbs! Love you forever! Thank you for such laughter during my childhood.
I want to be looking that amazing at that age❤️ Wow. She looks amazing!
I absolutely loved the Jeffersons. Our whole family did. Florence was my fave character.. and then I watched 227 after that. ❤🎉
I am so happy she is doing well, love her.
This woman right here has done so much for soooooo many actors and actresses! Such a blessing and bright light! Love her 💜
I Love Her Truth❤
This woman is a ICON PERIOD POINT BLANK!!! She was hilarious 🤣 natural comedian, one of the 🐐s
What a great interview. Jennifer did a swell job honoring Marla. An honest and memorable interview without any ridiculous questions. Such an endearing smart lady. Full of life in her 90’s and so funny! ❤ Marla Gibbs = National Treasure!
Happy Birthday 🎂🎁❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹Marla Gibbs you are greatly loved 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She’s still sharp as a tack and very funny … I love her what a long beautiful life lived … Blessed pray i
Marla has aged gracefully 🌹✨
Thank you Mrs. GIBBS for all you have done! You're a great LADY. GOD bless you.
What a joy to behold! Such a treasure! Love Marla Gibbs!! ❤
It is a blessing to see this beautiful and iconic woman. ❤🎉
Loved Marla Gibbs on The Jeffersons and 227!
Believe it or not, I ran into Marla Gibbs in the late 70's or early 80's at a Boys Market. I was pushing my shopping cart and I looked up and Ms. Gibbs was headed my way. I didn't want to bother her so I just passed by her without acknowledgement. However, every time I went down a different aisle, here was Ms. Gibbs. Finally, as we passed one another I leaned over and said " I see Mrs. Jefferson let you out tonight". She laughed and I told her I loved her and the show. She thanked me and we went our separate ways. Then once again we met up at the checkout lane. She was ahead of me and she looked extremely tired. I told her to have a good night. As she was leaving the store, the clerk realized she had left her purse and ran after her. Looking back, I'm glad I didn't bother her as she was really exhausted that night.
I love Mrs. Marla Gibbs. She is so talented and beautiful.
Marla is a smart lady. I love it when she said without Florence, no one would have known who Marla was. It's true.
She has a sharp mind.
Beautiful Lady.
One of my favorite series.
Amazing at 92❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Marla Gibbs has always impressed me with her humor, charm, and wit. She is a sweet, classy lady, and I am glad she still enjoys working as an actress. No matter how many times I have watched "The Jeffersons," I still laugh every time. The writing and the acting were always top-notch. Norman Lear hired the best actors for all of his shows. Marla has said she was supposed to have a one-time acting job as Florence, but when she delivered that last line in the pilot, Norman immediately hired her for the show. The people in the live audience were falling to the floor laughing so hard. I wish shows today could do the same as they did back in the 70s and 80s. I much prefer watching the great shows of the past than what it is on TV in the present. They had better quality, and they wanted the audiences at home to laugh as they did in the studio performing it. Thank you, Jennifer Hudson, for inviting Marla to your show. She made my day.
I didn't know Ms. Gibbs was still with us..Jhud - Gold ⭐️ huney
I love her
THAT was a GOOD answer Gibbs...Your response 2 what kind of roles you like 2 play...Whatever's PAYING you WELL...I AIN'T gonna even hold you...😃
Beautifully iconic actress with a quick wit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great interview with Marla Gibbs ❤❤❤❤
LOVE Ms. Gibbs! 227 theme song is my jam!
Love Marla 💚💚💚
Marla is a treasure!
She has made me smile and laugh many times! Thank You Marla
CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. Marla Gibbs!!!!
She's a real living legend, God bless her ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This interview is so warm and loving. Ms. Hudson treated Ms. Gibbs like she was her grandmother! ❤
JHUD is a great interviewer. She really cares about her guests and is curious to learn more about them.
LOVE Ms. Marla Gibbs! What a joy to see her so full of life and good spirits.
She also worked at American Airlines while working on the Jeffersons.
Really. Wow
@@e.p.8987 yes she did it during the first few years of the Jeffersons because she didn’t think that her having the Jeffersons was going to be a solid gig so she did that for like at least a decade and I believe it was united or American Airlines but either way it goes she was a flight attendant and working on the Jeffersons at the same time.
Wow…. Didn’t know that
@@SheniceSays214wasn't a decade. Like a year she kept working there after she got the role.
THE LEGENDARY and PHENOMENAL Marla Gibbs!!! Fantastic interview!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I Love You JHud. Awesome Voice
