Just dropped to my knees at Dollywood rn.

Bob the Fish Productions

I know it's the whole subject and point of the video but I do need the answer to be yes

Kyle Franklin

I am a gay Christian leftist from the deep south who works for Dollywood’s parent company (Herschend Family Entertainment) and I will always love Dolly Parton. She means so much to me as a queer person, as a person of faith, and as a Southerner. Thank you for this video.

So, I'm not from the US but I am a citizen of Youtube so I'm probably more familiar with "US stuff" than most people around me; still I had never heard of Dolly Parton. So to me this is like John Oliver doing a video about raccoons or whatever. Yet, somehow, every video you do is still amazing!!!

Sivan Hamagniva

Good point about JK’s inability to take criticism!

Emily Ibison

Ice Cream Face mentioned! My kids can’t get enough of DPL books either. Also another new video in a few days? Good times.

Matt

Sounds like the answer in this videos is, more or less, yes. Here’s hoping video 2 isn’t the big reveal

Sarah Muder

I only learned that Silver Dollar City turned into Dollywood a few months ago! I think Safiya's video mentioned it. I still remember going there as a very small child like 4 or so, I only remember the cave tour and maybe one ride - it was probably several years before Dolly bought it, because you said it was 40 years ago and I'm 47 so that tracks lol. As far as accents go, I was born in deep south Miss'ippi (as a true southern girl would say) and grew up talking very deep south twang, before we moved to Maryland when I was 8 and I rapidly lost that accent because MD is very much not South, no matter what people say. And now in my 40s, I'm living in Texas and didn't gain back all of my accent, but some slight twang comes through now and again without me being aware of it. Although my husband can tell if I've been drinking because I often start talking much more broad southern and I hate that it's such a giveaway!

Natalie Arnold

Dolly is so beloved her legend reaches into space! Actually mildly surprised her guest spot on the Orville didn't get mentioned (unless I blinked and missed it, in which case disregard). Can confirm 9-5 slays at karaoke even in the heart of Tokyo

Blue Gemini

The answer is yes, the second video will be more focused on Dollywood

Pee She-Her Man

After "Charisma" I was absolutely positive the next bullet point would be "Uniqueness" and so on

Kyle Franklin

the original Silver Dollar City is still alive and well in Missouri. i work there, often in the cave! (and also at some of the other Herschend properties in the area)

Aidan Martin

You say don't watch the HBO show but I just know that it's going to be hate-watched by millions. They don't care what people think of it as long as people watch it

Crys Bowie

I was a manager and one day one of the young women mentioned how, “Beyoncé is my honorary auntie. She doesn’t know she is, but she is.” And then apologized because “that probably sounded kind of weird” and I assured her, “I totally get it. I have the same relationship with Dolly Parton.” And you should’ve heard every member of my team in unison say, “DOLLY!!!” And just lose their minds cheering for a couple seconds. When we were done being rowdy she confirmed, yes, that’s exactly the relationship she has with her auntie Beyoncé. Years later it sill hits me as a really beautiful moment.

Patrick Collins

Boy oh boy was I worried there for a second- the last thing I wanted to hear in the year of our lord 2026 was that Dolly was Elon in a frock! I actually appreciate her reluctance to be drawn on politics. Whereas Kurt Russell avoids politics by doing little beyond insisting that actors/slebs are just court jesters who should keep their (often profoundly ill-informed) takes to themselves, Dolly allows us to look at her good works and draw our own conclusions. And I conclude that she contains multitudes and is a bonefide national (if not global) treasure.

Sean Boerger

As someone totally out of the loop, I appreciate this a lot. It's like someone showing me their Warhammer lore video.

Jessbfd

I'll have to watch later, but R.I.P. 🥲

Kyle Franklin

astonishing timing, unfortunately

DAS k1ishEé

This is so sad. I hope you are well....

IsoViaTech

Make one about Stephen Miller. RIP Dolly

Claraby

Oh my god, noooo. 😭 I watched this yesterday, but I came back here as soon as I heard

Deathany

I just had the most dolly-centric week and just got the news 😓 rip to our icon

Kasey

my mother went to Dollywood, bought me a t-shirt, has continually forgotten to mail it to me for going on three years now, and suddenly I very much need it 🥺

Anthony Behnke

This video is good enough to be a main channel video. After today, the world might need it 😔

Emily Peduto

if i had a nickel for every time a video essayist i like made a piece covering a musician and pop icon with a destination entertainment empire, and said musician proceeded to immediately die, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. (eddy burback was the other one)

K P

I looked her up after watching this video to see how she was doing and... 😭😭😭 RIP, you beautiful icon. We will always love you.

SkaveRat

me, seeing the video pop up with "was" on youtube: "wait, *was*?" *google* "oh, damn"

Godel Escher Monkey

Not sure if this was the best or worst timed video on the internet this week... 😭

Rebecca

This video got me to go off and actually listen to Dolly Parton's music, as up to now I knew "Jolene" and that was about it. Now I'm crying listening to "Coat of Many Colors", and "My Father's Daughter". People like Dolly Parton and Ms Rachel are beautiful role models who I hope to emulate in some small way. Thank you for drawing them to my attention.

crucial-draft

watching this in memoriam, love the video! rip dolly 💜

Ashley p

Great video. I had the misfortune of getting the news while watching it and have spent an inordinate amount of time crying

Luke Mileto

Good impression of Dolly. Also, RIP :<
