-I just love having you on.
Really, I wish you could come on every single night.
You're just so much fun.
-Well, I just love working with you.
People think we're friends from long back.
I said, "We just have that chemistry."
I just love you to death.
I was so excited all day, like I was having a date or something.
-Aww, I love you. -I was trying to think,
"What am I going to wear for Jimmy tonight?"
And what am I going do to throw you off your seat?
-You always do it. [ Laughter ]
Let's talk about this Netflix series you're doing,
"Heartstrings."
This is based on eight of your songs.
-Yeah. -You turned them into shows.
-Well, I've always dreamed of having my songs on for movies,
'cause I write a lot of story songs.
And hopefully, we'll continue with it.
But we did eight to start with.
And, of course, we did several things.
But the main one -- We did "Jolene."
-Yeah.
-Julianne Hough playing Jolene.
And Kimberly Williams-Paisley is playing her best friend.
So we did a little take -- a little different take on that
to show kind of why Jolene is the way she is.
And so it's a little different than the song.
But it turned out really well. -What is "Jolene" --
What was it based on, "Jolene"?
-Well, the real story was about my husband,
you know, this -- when I tell the story
about this girl that worked at the bank
when we first got married, you know, this beautiful redhead.
And he's spending more time at the bank than we had money.
And I thought, "Well, that ain't gonna to work out too good."
-No. -Yeah, but, anyway,
so that's kind of what that was based on.
But, just so you know, I did see Jolene not long ago.
-Oh, yeah. -She's not so hot now.
[ Laughter and applause ]
She's not, you know?
She used to have that beautiful red hair.
Now she's gray.
She used to have a little tight butt.
And now she can't get --
It's a tight spot getting her butt through the door now.
She used to -- Seriously. [ Laughter ]
And she used to wear a D cup.
Now she's wearing Depends.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-She kept the same letter, at least.
She kept the same letter. Yeah, why not? Yeah.
-But anyway, so, the movie turned out good, though.
And I'm real proud of all the movies on Netflix.
-But there's a bunch of people, great actors and actresses,
in the -- Kathleen Turner.
-She plays this old clairvoyant woman that I grew up knowing.
She was psychic.
And that kind of runs in my family also.
-You're psychic? -Well, my mother was.
Well, I kind of have a little bit of that.
-Really? Could you read my -- Could you read my palm?
Or could you -- -Well, I'm not a fortune teller.
But I can try. -What does a clairvoyant --
I don't have a crystal ball here.
-Well, let's see.
Well, I see that you're gonna --
that you're gonna be very successful
with a late-night talk show. [ Laughter ]
-Amazing. Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, and I -- that you have a very long...
[ Laughter ] ...career ahead of you!
-Thank you very much. A career, a long career.
Thank you. -Oh, yeah, and what's that?
I think there's a melted M&M in there.
What's that? [ Both scream ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Both laugh ]
I'm framing this! I'm framing this!
This is going in the Smithsonian.
My hand is going in the Smithsonian.
I want to -- We have a clip
of the Jolene episode from "Dolly Parton's Heartstrings."
Take a look at this. I'm framing this.
-Came by here earlier this morning.
He's looking for you. I asked him why.
He said with a very specific smile that it's personal.
Of course, I couldn't help noticing his wedding ring.
-Okay, yeah, I am fooling around with a married man.
Stupid thing to do. I won't do it again.
-Well, honey, you do kind of have a history
of running around with men that are married or jerks.
Or both.
-Yeah, well, that's all I seem to get, babe.
-No, that's all you seem to take.
Now, I know your daddy wasn't worth a plug nickel.
But you don't have to settle for anything.
I mean, you're beautiful. You're talented.
-Alright, we should really get ready to open.
-Well, you're a grown woman. I can't tell you what to do.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Come on.
Dolly Parton, everyone!
[ Cheers and applause ]
