Nicole Avant on Losing Her Parents, Touring with Michael Jackson & Gushing Over President Macron

Nicole talks about naming her new book “Think You’ll Be Happy” after the last text message she received from her mom before she passed away, meeting lots of famous people through her late father Clarence Avant, Muhammad Ali doing magic tricks for her as a kid, her family going on tour with Michael Jackson, being appointed Ambassador to the Bahamas by President Obama, and gushing over French President Macron when she met him at the White House.

She's such a delight. So glad to know of her, and her book sounds great. Bless her after this very tragic loss of her mom and now her dad.

I have not words…Miss Nicole Avant seems like incredible person…

[@kc4699]

i hope the actors get the right union deal ASAP, but i love that this has created a window for people from other creative fields to appear on lateshows. please don't lose this group of guests - they bring so much to the table, and all blessings to you, Nicole x

[@MJJones-pq3bs]

My thoughts exactly.

[@christophlieding734]

In times like now we need laughter more then ever. But maybe this "thing" we all are going thru, should bring us together or else? If you and we could unite then it will even better then before. We in Germany & Europe are having some trying times going on right now. Seems like we are right in the middle hopefully the middle will be where we come together. But we thing or I thing you guys should start. Ok enough of politics, religion, migration, inflation lets go back to laughter. Best wishes, Gesundheit and little prayers. Ps. we do love you on both sides the aisle and all across.

Looking forward to being introduced to more such interesting and accomplished people. A refreshing change.

[@issiewizzie]

bless you Nicole Avant. Your mum transitioned to the other side. She's at peace.

I love the dress with the cape ❤ sounds like a great book.

Great guest great interview thank you Jimmy

[@mmoye8640]

When you see the headlines, you never really think about the family people leave behind. This was a good interview from the perspective of a loved one that loses both parents within a little over a year apart. Mr. Avant was so instrumental in many famous careers. She was there for some of it. I would love to read her book to get her take on it all.

[@jeanbryant4180]

Jimmy is such a great host. I love the way he asks questions then lets his guest answer. Great interviewer!

[@OddOneOut665]

You just described every other LNTSH out there. XDXDXD

[@yomommastupid]

It's crazy that most people never heard of Clarence Avant before the documentary. We always think Quincy Jones.

If I were her, I'd grow up wondering why everyone seemed to be famous but me.

[@karmaoutlaw]

I freak out over Macron too. 🇫🇷 💕

[@boris2835]

what im I missing? ahah

[@sokaaz7786]

🤮

[@boris2835]

I live in France and MACRON is a horrible president....

[@boris2835]

@@WarsConflicts I already know where u leaning without even asking I’m French American also and immigrants is not his biggest flaws at all come on man

[@boris2835]

@@WarsConflicts I could write a entire page but here is my reasons:
Economic policies: reforms such as changes to labor laws and pension reforms, disproportionately benefit the wealthy and corporations, while potentially harming workers and retirees.
2. Social Unrest: During Macron’s presidency, France experienced significant protests and social unrest, including the “Yellow Vest” movement. his handling of these protests and his communication with the public have been inadequate to say the least.

[@ritamarozke]

I know

[@nitraM321]

Macron is nothing special, average at best

[@sokaaz7786]

You mean he's the worst...

[@user-sm6px5ff9h]

Who is she I didn't know anything about her until on the Jhud show today. I looked her up and all she did was leave her husband kept his last name and married a billionaire. So the only thing I got was she is a high class gold digger

Any one who is a friend of MJ is a friend of all MJ fans

Very Human.
