    It is too late Kevin Bacon because Billionaire Gates is buying up all the farmlands

    Jimmy Fallon is a joke …why doesn’t he tell the truth instead of lieing to the public

    Kevin Bacon has always been on the top of my list. He’s a great actor, a great person who is so down to earth and you never hear anything negative about him. He and Kyra love each other so much and they have a great family life. When he starred in the series "The Following" I watched every episode and when it was canceled, I bought all 3 seasons on Prime so I can watch it whenever I want. He really is an amazing person and a great actor!

  5. All Things Wavy on March 3, 2023 at 7:06 pm

    A life of synchronicities for sure!



  6. HH21 on March 3, 2023 at 7:06 pm

    Good actor. He was so frightenning in HOLLOW MAN when he played a vicious scientist!



  7. Nicolas on March 3, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    Tremors was great 🙂



  8. MARK BLEICHWEHL on March 3, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    It’s great that he’s been married 35 years. Most celebrities weddings don’t make it



  9. KANASAME on March 3, 2023 at 7:09 pm

    Everyone loves David Bowie



  10. Agent 9762 on March 3, 2023 at 7:10 pm

    He’s one of my favourite actors 😊



  11. Happy on March 3, 2023 at 7:10 pm

    Chet Brown still is, and is still a great singer, and still active. Steve is Steve Netsky and you can find songs written by him and his brother Ronald here on YouTube. Kevin played the Bongos. His brother Michael was the singer-songwriter of the two.

    My MAN from PHILLY…Great Actor



  13. James Wells on March 3, 2023 at 7:12 pm

  14. Pamela Bonaparte on March 3, 2023 at 7:14 pm

    Kevin Bacon is an actor that when he’s on a talk show you know it’s going to be interesting and real . He never fails to just be delightful and have good stories to tell. Definitely a legend with diverse talent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖☺️



  15. Calvin Ong on March 3, 2023 at 7:15 pm

  16. Crackalacking_Z on March 3, 2023 at 7:15 pm

    Tremors is still such an excellent film, it aged really well … like Kevin 😉



  17. Anprim Paul on March 3, 2023 at 7:17 pm

    Why are there still 5 people in the audience, is L.A. that bad or has the rain the flooded the area?



  18. Vangeli (RockNRoll'em) on March 3, 2023 at 7:19 pm

    How real and cool is KB eh. That was a funny and relaxed interview. Jimmy is killing it these days.



  19. tvderb on March 3, 2023 at 7:20 pm

    "It’s a great story, and I want to tell it on Jimmy Fallon" Anyone else heard that?



  20. Conspiracy Stacker on March 3, 2023 at 7:20 pm

    Pedokimmel, its only a matter of time



  21. OneBest on March 3, 2023 at 7:23 pm

    Man I did not realize Kevin was in his mid-70s, wow!



  22. cautionTosser on March 3, 2023 at 7:24 pm

    The triangular windows were awesome. And, if memory serves, they weren’t cranked like the full window. They were sort of pushed out much like older windows on houses – there was a hinge almost like a door opening more than a window.

    Anyway… what made them good was that the person in the front seat could get a little breeze without blasting the person in the back seat. Or… ash their cigarette without it possibly winding up in the back.



  23. boomer150 on March 3, 2023 at 7:27 pm

    Is footloose still the greatest movie ever made?

    (the rest is up to you comment’s section)



  24. Heide Leskun on March 3, 2023 at 7:27 pm

    My husband and I have been married as long as Kevin and Kyra. Each year is a celebration! lol well, apparently Kyra and I are the same age and our oldest is the same age as theirs. Difference my husband is younger lol. He’s talking about the vent window, or the "cigarette window". You needed the window because you never trusted the exhaust system and always wanted to vent the inside of the car. Hence "vent" window. At least that’s what my dad told me.



  25. Philip Schifano on March 3, 2023 at 7:28 pm

    Love the REAL baby story .. as parents i think We ALL have regrettful moments Nice of u to be so REAL 👍



  26. Karen Alexander on March 3, 2023 at 7:29 pm

    Kevin was once asked the secret to his marriage and he said, "Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty." I think it may have been a quick red carpet question, not sure.



  27. liz gillies on March 3, 2023 at 7:30 pm

    FJB



  28. Howgroovyisthat on March 3, 2023 at 7:31 pm

  29. Marcianna50 on March 3, 2023 at 7:32 pm

    What an amazing man. He never disappoints. Enjoy his acting, his dancing, his singing, his values and definitely admire the love he and Kyra share for each other and their family. Just an all around great human being. Love him!!



  30. Stoney Curtis on March 3, 2023 at 7:32 pm

    My favorite actor. Simply the best



  34. HH21 on March 3, 2023 at 7:33 pm

    35 years of marriage is a record in hollywood. For my part, 20 years , next year!



  35. Vicki Dash-Slesinski on March 3, 2023 at 7:34 pm

    I love the car commercial Kevin did with his daughter. She looks so much like her mother. Kyra is awesome too.



  36. Helen Murphree on March 3, 2023 at 7:35 pm

    That can’t be right 🤔 40 years 🤷🏻‍♀️ really?
    Dammit Kimmel if you just blew up their marriage I’ll be 😡 and never watch your show again!



  37. Marie Panimdim on March 3, 2023 at 7:35 pm

    Congratulations Kevin on your 35 year marriage I’m so happy for you I’m also very jealous❤



  38. Donna Banks on March 3, 2023 at 7:38 pm

    Kevin should considered getting different glasses, because those are covering his pretty eyes.



  39. Only I Forgive on March 3, 2023 at 7:38 pm

    He could probably play Bowie, I see similarities



  40. Cecelia Roberts on March 3, 2023 at 7:40 pm

    A ordinary man doing ordinary things in the most extraordinary way! Great story teller!🤔 Okay, that doesn’t make him ordinary.😏



  41. Aaron Smith on March 3, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    MMmm Kyra gets hotter with age, who wouldn’t wanna marry that forever and ever



  42. Rapture Watch 2023 on March 3, 2023 at 7:41 pm

    They should have invited his wife on the show to be with him, it would have been a much better fuller interview.



  43. Terrence Bullen on March 3, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    Ah the vent window, greatest car invention ever. I miss them.Back in the day when all of America smoked ciggies, the vent window was indespesible.



  44. Lil'Snookie on March 3, 2023 at 7:48 pm

    He still is fine til this day. Very exciting and great interview



  45. itsajahthing on March 3, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    Kevin and his daughter would be great in a sitcom if Kevin would be willing to do it!



  46. randy barrientes on March 3, 2023 at 7:50 pm

    Jimmy Kimmel he should remake hollowman



  47. Ryane Logan on March 3, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    A class act! Long live Kevin Bacon!



  48. Alex Townsend on March 3, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    Kevin’s starting to resemble Dana Carvey 🤔



  49. Derek Reuter on March 3, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Kimmel Live steal labor. They haven’t paid for work received despite agreement to do so. They used the material and have ignored invoices. Guess they support slave labor over honest business.

    The only response I’ve had from these comments, is from cat-fishing scammers pretending to be reps of the show. They either don’t read the comments ever, or don’t care about fraud, labor theft, or community relations.

    Jimmy is fully aware, doesn’t care that he is abusive, steals labor, and willing to withhold for any amount of time. He appears to be worse than those he makes fun of on TV for crimes is my take so far.



  50. Moe Koffee on March 3, 2023 at 7:56 pm

    I know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who use to know Kevin’s dentist’s sister-in-law
