Lea Michele Got a Gold Envelope of Approval from Barbra Streisand for Funny Girl - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Lea Michele Got a Gold...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Lea rummaging through Ramin’s stuff for his letter from Barbra is SO Rachel Berry
Also being an amateur handwriting expert, very Rachel 😅
It's not cute or funny it's gross and disrespectful of his boundrys and dressing room. This proves she hasn't learned anything at all. 😠
It’s literally everything to me tbh
@@wwozanewmusical I think you’re a bit dramatic tbh. The fact that you weren’t even there and only got a smidget of the story but felt the need to make it more than what it was says SO much more about you and your judgement than what really went on. Y’all are pathetic tbh. Not even there to watch or see what happened but gotta make a quick judgement lmfao. Sad af.
@@wwozanewmusical CAN WE NOT, CMON
I love that whether you like her or not everyone agrees she was born for that role.. I can’t help but feel happy for her.. like she is phenomenal im so proud she deserved that tony
Seth's interviewing skills are so good. He is genuinely interested in his guests, unlike, say, Jimmy Kimmel who seems to want to make everything any of his guests say into a joke that benefits him.
Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon?
@@lurkkerr94 Yeah, both, actually. :)
You can easily praise Seth without tearing down others. It’s called being an adult. 😊
He’s a great interviewer but Kimmel is really good with a different style. Kimmel seems to respect them but engages them like friends in a bar.
She was great in Spring Awakening, along with Jonathan Groff... All good actors...
Got to see one of her small shows before she started as Fanny Brice, and it was so incredible to be in a room with that much talent. She's so amazing, she's a great storyteller, and she was born to be in Funny Girl. So happy to see her flourishing in the role.
It brings me an unreasonable amount of joy whenever I hear how close she still is with Jonathan🥺
Her and Darren are the only ones that tolerate her
@@CorCor89 they’re the only ones who are successful as well. Winners stay together.
@@CorCor89 Booked on WorkForce1 😂
@@bp8791 you're right. Because Amber hasn't been BOOKED constantly since winning DWTS.
Because Melissa and Grant haven't been BOOKED and on highly rated TV shows for nearly 10 years.
Because Harry hasn't been on many movies and BOOKED on the longest running medical drama to date now.
Yeah you're completely right that Johnathan and Lea are the only successful ones.
@@CorCor89 Lea, Jonathan AND Darren. Amber is only doing interviews to talk about Lea Michele, Melissa and Grant’s shows are over (don’t consider them to be part of the main cast though) and Harry is playing an extra in Grey’s Anatomy. Congrats ?
So glad the producers of Funny Girl finally found the right person to play Fanny. She is incredible in it. Beanie is a talented actress in her own right. But, she doesn't have the vocal prowess needed for this particular role. I'm sure the cast of Funny Girl is happy that their jobs are secure now. Without Lea, the show would have closed.
I just watched a video of her singing at the Tony Awards, and she absolutely blew me away! It gave me goosebumps.
Why is her performance video now privatized? She was AMAZING! 😔 Please post it back!
It’s crazy this show doesn’t throw to Fred more often
because he usually isn't there. he's busy with the projects that he always talks about
@@dogtato yeah saw he is there this week and they have thrown to him more so makes sense
Barbara going to see her would be AMAZING, though she already performed for her in the past 🤗
Not the same thing. She performed my man for Barbra which isn’t in the show. It’d be amazing for Barbra to see her in the show.
Awesome. Haven't heard from her since Glee. She was always my favorite.
Might want to google her.
please welcome for the first time lea michele
Really? She’s done a lot post-Glee!
so glad that she can truly sing this song and have no one rain on her parade. Good for Lea. She is the Star , not those haters who never passed Glee.
She's a horrible person and shouldn't be rewarded for her bad behavior.
@@Mr21scott 10 years ago
Great, some old flop cheerleading for a has-been flop. Stop living boomer.
@@Mr21scott We have all done things we regret. I suspect you have as well. She has apologized and paid the price in spades. Grace and kindness are far more fierce than your anger.
@@dinakaplan7828 breaking into your leading man's dressing room and going through his personal items to see if your getting linked isn't changing or show you have grown up at all. She should be fired for that kind of behavior.
I think we have to separate Rachel from Leah, and also young Leah from adult her. I hope she is a nicer person. She seems nice here I’m happy for her
Holy cow that is so many many costume changes WOW!!!!
Lea is fantastic in Funny Girl. Been a fan of hers since Glee.
finally long overdue of hers
I love Lea so so much, she deserves every bit of this magic that is happening to her.
I really enjoy this type of interviews, She's so talented.
Talking about letters from Barbra to really drive it home that she can "read"
I don’t get it
@@whostosay3256 Hopefully she's practicing sounding out the words
🙄
@@user-hx8rh6km6d Yeah, it hate it too, but she's a bad person
@@raynemichelle2996 Some people can't be judged forever for mistakes she made 10 years ago, Lea just had a few problems in life that apparently she knew how to overcome due to the maturity she gained over time
it must’ve been so sweet when her assistant read that letter to her
That joke was funny… last year. Isn’t it a bit tired now?
@@beanies5102 no
zzzzzzzzz.
😂😂😂
@@beanies5102 more like 2018 its been old and tired for years now.
I really love how Lea is with every host in their talkshow, they don’t have to do that much 'cause she does all the talk. She’s very helpful ❤
It’s like she’s the one being interviewed right? 😊
I totally agree! She's awesome
Perfeita ❤
Fun fact: She actually called up Jonathan Groff to read the letter for her!!
Notice how she never said she read it. The dresser read it and then she studied the squiggly words that make sentences on Ramin's letter so she could pretend to enjoy "reading" it.
zzzzzzzzz.
@@akastardust i think at this point she is just playing along with the internet which is the best thing to do at this point. Last thing I saw was tiktok translating their comments with emojis 😂
Thanks for having her on the show, Seth.
Happy for her.
Just wondering what you thought about the racist & homophobic allegations against her?
@@ambriaashley3383
Same as Amber Riley's, Jenna's and Kevin's thoughts.
Amber didn't call Lea racist and she doesn't believe her to be so. These gals go way back together.
Jenna and Kevin acknowledged in an interview with Ryan Murphy that people make mistakes and they learn and they grow.
I have a high threshold fo evil and that's the triumvirate of Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot : basic irredeemable sh*tbags.
Lea Michele does not come close to that.
@@ambriaashley3383 homophobic..?
I really enjoyed the music on Glee
She has really blossomed to be a beautiful woman. Had a huge crush on her on Glee. Wow, she looks amazing.
The haters just can’t get enough of her. Keep hating. Y’all can’t stand it because she’s succeeding. Give it a rest already.
So true
I saw the show, she was amazing.
She’s amazing!!
I love her...
Love Lea. ❤❤❤ I’m so glad she’s back. I can’t wait to get tickets to see her
Hi Lea Michele I love your singing from glee songs
I love her ❤
To Nuckin Futs said to me on another comment that I can’t find any more that Alex Newell, Amber Riley, Samantha Ware and Naya Rivera called Lea racist... you just confirmed to me how ignorant you are. So here is the real information for anyone who want to actually informe themselves:
Alex said that he was supporting his friend for speaking up, he never called Lea racist. Amber said that people assumed she was racist for the moment we were living in the world and the person who spoke up happened to be black. Samantha said that she didn’t think that Lea was racist, but She grew up in a industry made for white. Naya please, she didn’t said a word about it, she talked about her diva attitude on set and that was on her book.
People never look for the facts they just see a headline and then make assumptions from that.
Didn't Sam delete her tweets too about calling Lea racist?
@@zolaxx4267 She didn’t even called her racist, just made a comment to make it look like that. But yes, she deleted a lot of that until Lea was announced on FG when she “called out” Broadway and then proceeded to promote her tv show...
@@adrichina72 Sam acts like she is some social warrior calling out Bway an Hollywood but has never even called out the producers and director of glee who allowed the alleged bad environment.
i don't know her that well, but she seems very sweet and genuine. after all the things that she's been through, i think she's matured and has become much more humble
I’m so happy for her, so fuckin’ happy
Still trying to find Lea Michele's performance of "I'm the Greatest Star" in the same show, but somehow, I think it went private or it got deleted. I don't want to be impatient, but will it be posted again? Please?
She has a beautiful aura
Love Lea Michele 💕. She is so talented.
Rachel's dream come true
Love Lea❤️❤️
All the stars have aligned for all of us. God has blessed you and all of us with your talent.
Calm down she’s a robot who can’t read
@@nichenetwork9817yet here you are 😂 jealous much
Beautifully said, I couldn’t have said it any better.
@@rambambobam1268 I find that hilarious, all of the people that come to her videos to complain and whine must be really jealous of her.
Why is the sound so small on this channel?
How my brother loved when I said AF
A cutie!! She looks happy 😃
mother!!!!
I love Ryan Murphy. I don’t like people hurting me in relation to his shows. I love his shows.
I hate others making vague points to him by harming me
Colombia House Reocrds sent me a free Babs CD and I was going to get charged or smthg so I wrote them a handwritten note about why I didn’t want it and they wrote something back suggesting that I should at least try listening
Great video and I love Lea Michele she is a great actress.😁
I think even though Lea potentially did some horrid things I dont agree with, she still is a human being and deserves as much respect as anyone else. Dont hate the criminal, hate the crime. Slay Lea. I havent heard a single song from the cast recording but I know it'll be good.
I'd like to hear an interview about things she's learned after hearing so many past cast mates being traumatized by her behavior. I believe in forgiveness and second chances, and I'd like to know more about how she's become a better person.
@@mikayocc well, you don't get to. You do not know her,nor were you there on the Glee set. So you are zero involved. She did her job exceptionally well on Glee, as she has done in Funny Girl. That's all you get.
Me, coming to the comments just to see if people still hate Lea: 👀
But the criminal was the one who commited the crime?
@@mikayocc I have known people who put in the work to change. They are nothing like who they were in the past. Honestly, I'd be cheering her on if she'd made a genuine effort down that path.
They should have her do a camo on Gossip girl
I'm glad she got the approval from Barbra but after everything I've read about Lea, my respect and admiration for her went out the window the way she has treated others over the course of the last 10+ years
Life happens to us all differently, and not many know how to stay grounded with fame. We all have the potential of right and wrong in us, but what counts is how accountable and repentant we are when called out for bad behaviour. I believe in second acts. If we wrote off everyone who did something wrong to us or others, there'd be no relationships. She apologised, it's not fair to hold this against her.
So true,a lot of people has far worse than her like mark for one but when he die people were like I’m going to him me, but because she lea Michele people hate her
Thanks for letting us know
@@fredd8556 your welcome
@@nnamdiohachenu7835 but she treated people and utter unnecessary racial slurs telling a fellow actor that she's sh$t in their wig... like wuht??? I dunno... there learning and then there's a clear innate hatred of a sect of people and furthermore had no issues to make it known... soo no Babs no...
Fabulous ❤
yes queen you're great! (👏👑👌)
Streisand was being gracious.
I’m grateful for plenty. Not for everything they want me to be grateful for. They obsess about grateful AF.
Who did well in the tap subtest matters
Oh I can see that Seth used to be such a handsome man in his younger years.
lol this just effectively shut down the stupid rumor about lea being mean to barbra's niece. like cmon barbra was clapping for lea at the end of her tribute performance in 2012 and now lea got a personal letter from barbra? some of you spread rumors like wild fires without any proof to back them up 💀
@@KeKe4Christ It was a rumor. The whole rumor came from a twitter account claiming to be Linux (a random social climber trying to be famous). That twitter account is suspended now. She claimed she was an extra in 2014 and then that Lea had Barbra's niece fired. No one ever backed it up.
Totally agree with you
Awww so she was the second person to get the letter of approval lol
She's amazing
not a hate comment but did she do something to her face she look different here
wow, she looks so beautiful
her voice and cadence is SO similar to mindy kaling, especially when laughing.
It's a deliberate/fake cadence, with really obvious rhythmic pronunciation....because everyone who does it sounds the same. Even the laughs sound contrived.
@@FVWhimsy2010 really I thought the opposite her laugh always sounded so real to me because it never sounded pretty it always made me laugh hearing it
@@FVWhimsy2010 you can listen to interviews of her when she was 12. She sounded the same.
I wonder if Lea Michele could pull off a semi-faithful remake of Yentl 🤔😏 psh. Probably.
I would KILL for that!
Lea ❤
So did she... in that girl's wig?
Lea become a funny girl.. amber become a winner of mask singer... like watching them in glee
Did Beanie get the seal of approval?
No she did not
@Chris jacobs Barbra did send her a letter before opening night. It's in a RUclips short here. Barbra has been amazing to the revival cast.
WHO WROTE THIS?! TINA?!
...she didn't call her husband?
Because you don't just CALL a husband. You tell a husband in person.
I always love Seth’s interviews bc he asks difficult questions. He didn’t this time and I’m disappointed.
What did you want him to ask her?
@@cormacbowman6595 if she has already taken a dump in a black co-stars wig today
@@cormacbowman6595I can only assume they wanted to know about her past behavior because honestly other than that what has she done that ppl want to ask difficult questions? Lol I’m curious to know what they meant too
we love you Lea ❤
wow ! these two definitely don't like each other
They are obsessed with wigs and have favorite pretend boyfriends for me but don’t seem to like me so idk what to say.
Madeline did weird things with my wig and laughed and am curious why.
Lea Michele is like Winston Churchill. They were cast out and ostracized for controversy but when crisis hit they were asked to come back and they saved the day
Winston Churchill also killed a few million people…. Maybe not the best comparison… but yeah Leah was made for this role
@@Megs125 Lea is a bit complicated herself, that's the point. Both ended up doing great things.
From what they say the like George Clooney or Brad Pitt might be up to a prank like that sending a fake letter...
Anyone else think she looks like Anya Chalotra ?
Who is Anya Chalotra.
@@lorraineforster8164 she was in the Witcher
@@Saint_Vincent1735 okay.
@@Saint_Vincent1735 I can see that, yeah.
Surprised to see her as a guest on any show.
This is not her first lol.
Well she is….on many shows….Cancel culture warriors lost this time 😏
@@rambambobam1268 I admittedly don't follow her. I just haven't stumbled upon her doing anything public in a minute. But that's just me.
@@Sam96ss huh? You seem oddly worked up about this. Good luck on that journey. 😊
@@nuckinfuts7610 she opened the thanksgiving day parade. She’s been on Jimmy Fallon to promote funny girl
Seth ... please learn how to pronounce her name. Streisand like the 'sand' on the beach
can we get a second opinion, preferably one who would be able to read the letter?
Question is. Could she read what Barb had wrote?
😂
Yes
Barbra actually had a recording of her voice reading the letter as well. 😂
Y’all gonna keep on going on and on about her not being able to read. Let it go already.
@@jennifersciachitano9948 awh cry about it
The most beautiful WOMAn😍
🍅
Jay wanted to know difference between sociopath and psychopath. I said I read somewhere you develop one and are born with the other, but Jones didn’t agree.
🤨
👩🫵🍽
make her read
Between her and Fred, it appears this was the night of the narcissists.
I'm aware of Lea's controversies but what did Fred do? Not saying you're wrong in any way I've just not heard of anything and I'm curious!
I wouldn't diagnose someone you don't know personally.
Was she able to read the letter?....🤔🤔🤔🤔📃📃📃
Isn't she the one that everyone on the cast of Glee hated working with?
No
Not everyone. Just the ones no longer getting employment.
Wait, Lea can read the letter??!!
No funny it really getting old making fun of someone who cannot read not “ saying lea can’t read” is not cool and definitely not funny
Her mouth looked big enough without the lip filler…😬
she needed to mention the letter so there's proof she can read
Oh she's the one who bullied and berated co-workers on Glee
Seth. I thought you were a journalist. You didn't ask her anything about her cancenlation or any Glee related stuff.
It is such a moot point that's why.
Honestly because it's not important Glee ended years ago
Seth a journalist?
Is it because SNL has been such an important training ground for journalists? Or maybe it's that late night hosts like Letterman, Kimmel and Colbert are such respected journalists? What's that? Comedians you say. Never mind.
Man she's such a good singer. Wish she wasn't a bully and racist.
She isnt so its all good
She’s not racist.
she was never racist
Agreed, such a shame.
She is not a racist, boo
So nobody's gonna talk about how she "moved" her hair about 1,000,000 times.
Babs should have called her, all that handwriting went to waste.
It's a generational thing. Baby boomers always gave handwritten notes.
@@libravallibraval6074 Which I think is more thoughtful. 🥰✨
zzzzzzzz.
Is she still bullying her coworkers?
