-Welcome back. You know we love you so much.
-I love you, too.
I got all tinseled up for you for Christmas.
-You really -- Gosh! You look gorgeous.
-Thank you. -Thank you for being here.
We have so much to talk about.
First thing I want to talk to --
Say congratulations on Dollywood.
It's bigger than ever. -Oh, it is.
It's Christmas now! [ Cheers and applause ]
-How do you even --
How do you even come up with the idea for doing a theme park
or doing Dollywood?
-Well, I just always had the thought
if I ever made it big enough, I'd like to do something great
in my home area.
And so, 32 years ago, we built Dollywood.
Can you believe it's been that long?
-In Tennessee. -Every year we grow.
And Christmastime is a wonderful,
wonderful time for us. -Yeah.
-And we have our new Glacier Ridge this year.
-You have two new attractions this year.
-Yeah, coming out in the spring is our Wildwood Grove.
-When do you do your tree lighting?
Is it right after Thanksgiving? -Oh, I just did that.
Yeah, right after Thanksgiving, we open up for Christmas.
And we have millions of lights and all this wonderful foods
and shows and everything.
-And look at the -- Talk about awesome.
-Oh, yeah!
That was last week when we did the tree lighting.
-I mean, that is a gorgeous dress.
-But I had it -- it was all lit up.
See, 'cause they had the whole tree,
and so Steve Summers designed this outfit for me.
And so it was a row of lights when I went out,
and then when they started to open the tree,
he was off to the side with a remote,
so I started just glowing all over.
[ Laughter ]
Everybody got a kick out of it. -Yeah.
-But it's not the first time I flashed 'em.
[ Laughter ]
-Exactly. Well, I'm not gonna even -- yeah.
I'm not gonna -- yeah. -Okay.
-I'm sure it was a treat for everybody.
Yeah, we all loved it.
-I love being all lit up like that.
-I want to ask you about this. I heard a rumor about this,
and I tried to talk to you about it last time.
Is it true that you, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda
are signed on to do a sequel to "9 to 5"?
-We are. Pat Resnick...
-But this is happening? -Yeah.
-Dolly, it's happening? -Yeah, after all these years.
See, with all the stuff going on now,
'cause we did a lot of good with the first movie...
-Absolutely. -...but all the women still feel
that we're not getting equal pay for equal work and all that.
So it was just a good time
with all the stuff going on with women.
And Pat Resnick, who wrote the original "9 to 5,"
well, she had the idea to do another show.
And it's the first time
that it had ever made sense to do it again.
We tried over and over,
and I kept saying to Lily and Jane,
"We better get after it,
or it's gonna have to be called '95' instead of '9 to 5.'"
[ Laughter ] But we're getting there.
But We're excited about it. So, yeah.
-Oh, that's so fantastic.
I know you have this movie, "Dumplin'."
Next Friday in theaters and on Netflix.
This is the soundtrack here.
But also, speaking of Netflix, you signed this really cool deal
for an eight-movie thing based on your songs?
Right? Is that what this...
-Yeah, "Heartstrings" is the name of that.
That's on Netflix, where they do --
We've done eight so far.
And they're gonna drop sometime in the fall,
and one of them is "Jolene," a song you love so good.
-That's my jam. -I know you love that.
-You are doing "Jolene"? -We are.
In fact, Julianne Hough is playing Jolene,
and she is so great in it. -I love Julianne Hough.
-And I get to play a little part.
I own the bar, and Jolene actually is a singer.
We made her kind of a little singer
in addition to her being a tramp.
[ Laughter ]
But Julianne just did a wonderful job.
You're gonna love that.
-So far, there's eight parts in that series.
I just love that you're do--
Isn't that cool that you get to do that?
-Yeah, it is. -You have so many songs.
-So many things going on, too, these days.
And I'm so excited about this "Dumplin'" movie.
-I loved it.
-This album was produced by Linda Perry.
-Oh! -And she's great.
-Linda Perry is fan-- She's one of my favorite --
-4 Non Blondes a long time ago. -4 Non Blondes.
She was one of the nicest people to me in my whole career.
When I was doing stand-up, I did a parody of 4 Non Blondes,
and she gave me permission to do the song on my album years ago.
I'll never forget it. -Well, she's wonderful.
She's gonna be here tonight. -I saw her.
-Later on, I'm going to sing a song from --
the single from that. -I mean, but how fun is --
-But how fun is that?
