    Never knew she was the first (1st) Black/AA woman to host a TV 📺 show. She's such a nice-looking, classy, and talented actress. 💐
  • @sparkle3000
    I always say Tabitha Brown should portray her in her movie like Queen Latifah should portray Pearl Bailey. Don't forget the people that paved the way before us. They sacrificed so much and did it with grace. Thank you Ms. Leslie Uggams!!! 💜💙💛💫💚❤
  • @tamekatgilliam
    Yes Ms. Uggams. I've always felt she was a phenomenon actress.
  • @scottgarbo1288
    Tamron's referential, celebratory and respectful introduction of the legendary Miss Uggams was so sweet and moving. Miss Uggams is, indeed, a true legend and I can only imagine how excited Tamron and her entire staff were to have her on their show. She seems more like a woman in her 50s, not anywhere near 80! She continues to amaze and astound us. ❤
