During and appearance on NBC’s Megyn Kelly Today on Wednesday, Fonda shut down the former Fox News anchor when she attempted a line of questioning about going under the knife — pivoting instead to promotional comments about her latest film_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 16, 2018 6:09 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 16, 2018 6:09 PM UTC During a visit to NBC’s _Today Show_ on Thursday morning, [_Grace & Frankie_](http://time.com/4283176/grace-and-frankie-netflix-new-season-2-trailer/) costars [Jane Fonda](http://time.com/4981011/jane-fonda-ashamed-harvey-weinstein/) and [Lily Tomlin](http://time.com/vault/issue/1977-03-28/page/1/) reflected on their enduring “sometimes” friendship as they chatted with hosts [Hoda Kotb](http://time.com/5083901/today-hoda-kotb-co-anchor-news/) and Savannah Guthrie. When Kotb asked how long they’d known each other, Fonda mused that it must be somewhere around fifty years, back before the classic film [_9 to 5_](http://time.com/4945537/9-to-5-cast-emmys-reunion/). “Long time,” she noted diplomatically. “I think before your first facelift,” comedian Tomlin joked back. In response, a shocked Fonda tried to change the subject. “Never mind! We don’t need to hear that,” she insisted, before adding: “Who are you, Megyn Kelly?” (Fonda and the morning show host Kelly famously had a prickly [on-air conversation](https://twitter.com/yashar/status/913110287942905856) about cosmetic procedures in September, to Fonda’s dismay.) Looks like their complicated onscreen relationship in _Grace & Frankie_ might indeed be replicated in real life after all. The fourth season of the comedy show about two divorcées living together after their husbands fall in love is available on Netflix [starting Jan. 19.](https://twitter.com/GraceandFrankie/status/943496237319204864) > [](https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/953262104039055360) Jane Fonda Had Quite a Comeback to Lily Tomlin's Latest Joke ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/"},"headline":"Jane Fonda Had Quite a Comeback to Lily Tomlin's Latest Joke","datePublished":"2018-01-16T18:09:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:47.982Z","description":"The 'Grace & Frankie' costars were on the 'Today' show to promote their series — and talk about their longtime friendship.","url":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","Jane Fonda"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/","name":"Jane Fonda Had Quite a Comeback to Lily Tomlin's Latest Joke"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Megyn Kelly Asked Jane Fonda, 79, About Plastic Surgery – and Jane Was Not Having It","description":"During and appearance on NBC’s Megyn Kelly Today on Wednesday, Fonda shut down the former Fox News anchor when she attempted a line of questioning about going under the knife — pivoting instead to promotional comments about her latest film","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/wxHMePDF/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-09-27T20:27:26.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/wxHMePDF.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/","duration":"PT1M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5104346/jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-megyn-kelly/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
