"The world is only going to become right when every day is an Earth Day."

Jane's wonderful. We're so lucky she's still around.

[jomontanee]

Jimmy is a total fanboy of Dr.Goodall. He had her as his guest many times and everytime he knows very much about her. Again, total fanboy. So sweet.

[jaimereynolds]

I was fortunate enough to attend one of her lectures and I can honestly not find words to describe her. She is beyond smart, kind, funny, genuine, articulated and the list goes on and on.

I normally don't click on The Tonight Show clips but when I do it's Jane Goodall talking about nature and conservation.

[tammystockley-loughlin]

Dr.Jane, even as a girl, wasn't just your typical girl. One of my heroes. Helped awaken the empathy for the natural world in me.
Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic

What an amazing woman, she was the reason i started learning about animals as a child, nothing but respect and admiration.

[rikkiechambers]

Her soul is just beautiful 💚 sigh I wish people would listen to her .

[bethburnett]

Jane Goodall is an AMAZING human being. She is a hero!

[anton]

Jane Goodall is a true living hero with an everlasting love for our planet and everything on it. She is absolutely correct as everyday should be Earth Day. 🌍💚

[StevenLeBoeufFilms]

She is so inspiring, I have the upmost respect for her

[DavidBlevins]

Jimmy and Jane. Two beams of light. Just what we needed.

[elmegapitondelnorte]

Dr. Jane Goodall came to speak to my classroom back in 1997 when I was in 6th grade.

[RobertoZucco]

Dude, JANES'S MESSAGE...I mean....everything.

[Airbear]

You know, Jimmy seems to be getting more in touch with himself with each week he spends at home, I’ve never seen him be this genuine and normal. No unnecessary laughter, no politically fueled questions, just an actual conversation. Simplicity is key to most things and I think Jimmy has finally found that.

[collinw]

Great message. Respect our fellow animals.

[caitlinkeating]

just watched her documentary "Jane" on Disney+ and she is such a fascinating woman. God bless her and her work! she looks amazing at 86!

[alathenasidericus]

This woman is such a badass. I can only hope to be a quarter as badass at her age.

[laras]

I hope that people take the message from this to treat nature better!

"Respect the nature...and every day is an Earth Day" - thank you, Dr. Jane Goodall!
