It wasn’t really a chat show, it was a magazine show. I looked at it as a summer job. As long as no one makes me interview a celeb again, I’ll be happy.

She has flawless skin, perfect white teeth, a voluptuous body, ample height and lots of lush, brown hair. And then there are those cookbooks, which have become international best sellers.

It’s like I can never watch myself on TV unless I have to do some editing before a show comes out. It’s like hearing your voice back on a tape recorder and I’m sure you know how horrible that is.
