I’ve been in love with Haggar from the beginning of your show, I really miss that you were gone now. I think you’re an outstanding bass player!!! Please let me know when you’ll be back on TV. I always love seeing you. You are so beautiful and talented!!!
Dear Hagar,
I have been a fan since first seeing you on the Late Late Show. You are a “stand out”! Not to mention, also a very beautiful lady.

Hagar,
I hear you are writing a book to inspire young Women to play bass maybe. Well hell yeah. I am self-taught and was lucky enough to find a book by Carol Kaye in the mid seventies. Of course you have to be able to read music. Maybe I’ll find the name of the book but CK was a legend in her own right. However, once I learned Carol’s style of playing, I was able to slip into all styles.
My only claim to fame is Tina Weymouth saying to me. “You are a great bass player” Got to do a Beatles medley with Elton That was awesome totally off the cuff.
Yeah, I am a guy be it an old one but I hope u get to see this message.
I wish you all the best. You are fabulous to watch so relaxed and an inspiration! God bless you, you are a sound for sore eyes.
I think you are very beautiful and a regular “girl next door”!
I’m very impressed with your history in the music world !! Would love to have a day in New York City with you, ie…lunch at your favourite place, walk around Times Square chatting, and maybe some music in Central Park in the evening.
Thanks…I love the show, see you on there.
Can I be your boyfriend Please
My mom always wanted me to marry a sweet, cute Jewish girl (we were not Jewish).
Although I disappointed her by bringing home an Italian girl (now married 37 years), my dream girl is, and will forever be Hagar Ben-Ari!
Hagar ben ari is a fine-looking woman. To bad she has a boyfriend in Israel.
So, I’m not the only one infatuated with Hagar. The fact that Christopher Waltz likes her says it all for me because he is one of my favorite actors.
I hate to admit it, but I get annoyed with James Corden when he blocks my (our) view of Hagar during the program!
I hate that too DWMILLAR! I got to hear her once on the show, and she won’t can play!!! I wish they would let her play a solo!! She’s cute too!!!
Hagar,
I’ve been watching you since the beginning of The Late Late Show and I really like the latest scenario getting James out of his garage studio. I love the fact that you play the BASS on the show. The bass is my favorite instrument and you are the best at playing the bass. I’ve read that you are about 39-40 years old. And of course, you are very attractive with a great sense of humor. You are in a great place with the show and I know that you enjoy it a lot.
As an FYI, I went to grade school with Bruce Springsteen in Freehold, NJ. He was a year ahead of me in school and just turned 71 years old this past September. I saw Bruce a lot and he is a great deep fellow. I’m happy about his success and cannot wait for his next concert. I would like to meet you someday at the show once we are done with the pandemic.
To say the least, I really like you. (blushing right now) Would you please write back to me when you have time Hager? I would appreciate that very much!
Sincerely,
Greg.
