You know, Barbara Walters taught me that. I knew that she picked up the phone herself. She wrote a letter. She faxed. She called. She nudged. She would say, let's have lunch. And I would call it being barbered. And Barbara barbered me. When I was fired from the CBS Evening News, she called me and started trying to get the first interview with me when I emerged from my bunker.

It was just remarkable. Barbara and I had a lot in common. She was clearly the pioneer and paved our way. She was the breadwinner in her family because her father's nightclubs tanked and she had to take care of her mother and her father, support her mother and her father and her disabled sister. I was the breadwinner in my family as well. my mother and father.

I supported them until the day they died. From about 25 on, I was their parent. We both co-anchored with someone who despised us, a man. We were both fired after two years. We both adopted a child. We both married nice Jewish boys, although I think Barbara married maybe two or three. But, you know, I really did—I admired Barbara because she paved our way.

I'm still wondering how come we are the perfect match, you know, because we are so different. But the public personas belie what is really behind our door. And the reason why I say that is because He, although he does this, has been determining the paternity of every child in America and utters these words, you are the father and you are not the father.

So he's a very down-to-earth, realistic guy. What belies his public persona is that he is very much a voracious reader. He's a political buff. He's a history buff. He could run circles around these pseudo-intellectuals who do interviews with – important people. And I always say that to him. Why don't you do a serious talk show? And he says, and I said, you're so smart.

People don't know how smart you are. And he says, as long as you know that, I'm fine. And I thought, oh my goodness, what a guy.

Yes. The difference is I am not serious. And you now know that, Tonya, because you've read my book. And he has to curb my enthusiasm. Because I'm liable to do something off the wall. It is not he who would do something off the wall. It is I. And he has to talk me out of it. Because I say, why? You would do it. And he'd say, no, you have a reputation to uphold.

No, I think they're right over here.
