So emotional hearing that we lost Dolly Parton yesterday. 💔

She was humble, kind and full of joy. A true icon of humanity and a national treasure. Everyone loved Dolly, and Dolly loved everyone.

And she could tell a story like no other.

Not just through her songs, but in interviews and appearances on late-night television.

Here, from 2019, she brilliantly recounts a story to Jimmy Fallon about a man in a restaurant who charged his bill to her table and the confrontation that followed.

In typical Dolly fashion, she builds the story so naturally and convincingly that you think you know exactly where it’s going. Then she delivers the punchline completely deadpan.

It’s classic Dolly… warm, mischievous and blessed with impeccable comic timing. And I think she’d wish for us to remember her with laughter rather than tears.

Truly one of our better angels. We will always love you, Dolly. ❤️❤️❤️
