A Week of Oscar Parties, AI Andy, and Liza Book Club

The high highs and low lows of my life is a daddy to two kids and dozens of housewives.

“Joining me as always is my co-host John Hill.”

Hey John, Andy, this week, oh, it was crazy. I was in LA for the Beverly Hills reunion. I went to a few Oscar parties, schmooze saw the heated rivalry guys flew to Austin for South by Southwest, as a little racked when I got back, hosted a week of the Kelly Clarkson show.

We started our lives in an LA book club, finally getting cataract surgery, and a whole

lot more. This is Andy Cohen's Daddy Diaries podcast. One day March 16th, 2026. Good morning, everybody. I'm Andy Cohen in a very foggy, sloppy, goopy New York City.

Hi John. But at least it's warm at least it's warm. Now, it is supposed to go down to like 28 tomorrow or something. I don't know, anyway, up and down, well, good morning, everybody, I've been through it. I have been through it, and I will just start with the immediate, I guess I have officially

lost my serious xm ID.

So Jordan, please order me a new ID, a set, please, and a second ID that gets you into

the floor that we're on because downstairs, I was down there waiting at that desk for a very long time, the galbine, the desk set, if you've been an employee for long, or you a new employee, she said, well, it's been 10 years, and I have two channels, I have stickers on the window. In my name, my face is everywhere up there, but my face cards declining right now, I did

have my ID. I was like the welcome wagon down there. One guy came up, he's like, can you want to talk to me about John Mayers plans for the future of the grateful dad, a lady that I co-hosted loose women with, came up to me, from the UK, a Ben's babysitter, from the Hampton's, she came up.

This is the lobby of seeing me. Right down there at the desk, well, I was waiting to sign in because it took about 12 minutes, Julia Cunningham's sister, and that her, anyway, I'm not in the system, so, and also, can

“I get in the system so that when I lose, I think that's a daily thing, like you have”

to say, hey, put me in right now, right, well, do I work here? Yeah, I think so then, why do I have to be put, but I don't think there is a system of employees, there's not, like, a database, like you either have an ID, there's not like, oh, let's check and see if you, what am I talking about? She made it to work here because she was like, are you a new employee?

Anyway, all this to say, my plane landed last night, after 1 a.m. at Newark, I didn't get to bed till 2.30, and I woke up at 7, so it's been, not the greatest sleep night. We were really delayed, I came in from Austin yesterday, I spent the day, it's not by something else, just, oh my god, I can barely tell. That's not by Southwest yesterday, it was an LA before that, this week is absolutely crazy

for me on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the next three days radio, I am also hosting a week of the Kelly Clarks show in these next 72 hours, I am hosting a week of what would happen, lives on Thursday, I get my cataract surgery, which cannot come a moment to soon.

Because then you'll have to have a first break, I will, I am blind though, I was just, you

know, just wandering through Los Angeles, just coming across people left and right, and I'm wondering, do I know you? Can I see you? But you're like that anyway, I am, but worse than ever, I was on the airplane from Texas, I had Wi-Fi, so I was getting some updates via friends, Bruce was at the Vanity Fair

“Party, he was like, oh my god, Barbara, now she's singing, I'm like, what?”

He sent me a clip without me asking, kind of wish I hadn't seen it in a way.

in the air and he was sending you a clip of what happened, I'm just talking about the

Barbara, right?

“I mean, I don't know, I'm just a little, I think, yeah, any time Barbara Streisand opens”

her mouth to sing, even if it's like a little wonky, yeah, I think is a blessing to the clip, and I think it's not, it doesn't move anyone to talk shit, all right, on Babs, yes, well, my wrist is slashed. She's also 80, right? Yes, well, you're right, okay.

Occupella, 80, go off Queen, all right, okay, we need to speak, we will speak tomorrow about lies in an alley in the audio book, I have begun, you have begun, it's wild, Jordan, how far did you get? I got to chapter three. Oh, wow, that's a lot, I'll tell you this, there's a lot of mama and Papa talk, mama,

Mapa, yeah, mama, there's Hapa, I mean, it's crazy, but we will, we will talk about that a little bit tomorrow, I've just come off once again, these hotel beds, there's a hill

in the middle, I can't unsee it, I can't believe it, no matter how fine the hotel, I've never

experienced it.

“It's going to be a valley, I believe you, but I've never, it has never bothered me.”

Do you sleep across the bed or something like I sleep in one lane? I do do, but if you, there's one lane is sunk in and the other isn't, it's just depending on which lane is closer to the bathroom, it's just, it's the way it is, anyway, how to big weekend, what, um, flu to LA on Thursday, such afluous on Thursday that now there was a radio and the party for publicists on Thursday night in Los Angeles to book people

on specifically on this broadcast and Jeff Lewis kind of confronted me and said, well, I got an invitation to your party, like, you know, he said, I got it, like this morning, but it's tonight, he said so clearly, you know, you guys don't actually want me at the party because why would you invite, I was an afterthought and they figured out that you were seeing me

“today, and I go, you know what, you're not invited, I go, you don't need to come to the”

party. I said it's for publicists to book people on this show, I said so, yeah, it's fine, now

Bavvy did come, I did it, it gets greater and later video with her, always great to see

Bavvy, um, and I got there and it's for the publicists and, um, oh my god, so Anthony says, we use, say, a few words, we get up, I go, do you want me to, like, do you really want me to? Where is this taking place? It was in the back room at Chibriani and Beverly Hills, um, and he goes, will you speak,

um, will you speak, you know, get up and say something like, okay, and I said, what's the name of the talent team in LA, because I know that the talent team, it was Margo and Anthony were there from New York, so he goes, oh, it's Katherine and Adoria, I said, okay, I said, I'm gonna mess up Adoria's name, like there's no question of the name, uh, I write Adel to see him, and I was like, you, Doria, I kept thinking, and then I was like, and Dora, you

Doria, and he was like, no, it's Adoria, I go, I'm gonna mess it up, I'm gonna mess it up. And I get, uh, and of course, I messed it up, I messed up the name, you could turn that into a funny bit though, right? I just, yeah, but you want to have ownership of your team's name, right, but once you biff it, you know, you got to, I know, I just felt dumb, I just felt really dumb.

Uh, so, give yourself a break, thank you, thank you, I just, I don't like messing up people's names, and I do it all the time. Anyway, it was great to see Bevy, raced out of there, and uh, had it over to the sunset tower where I met Mr. John Maya for a night cap, and on the way in, I, I'm so blind and the lighting at the sunset tower in that dining room. She's so dark. So I hear my name, I look over, now I get really freaked out in a situation

where I look over at a table, and it was like a table for 10, and someone at the table has said my name, and I'm like, and I'm blind, and I'm looking around, who was it? But the icon

Now, I was, uh, I was kind of starstruck to see Sierra, and Sierra, because also, I've just

“watched this episode of Summer House, which is this week, have you seen it yet by any chance?”

It's, uh, there's a conversation at towards the end with Sierra and KJ, that is so spectacular that. So I was kind of in awe of her, having just seen it. But anyway, it was great to see her, and at the end of my night cap, I went and joined her table for a little bit, um, and you know, I have to say about John, we're both tired. He had been kind of in the studio all day. I was whatever, flying in this and that. We had some moments of long silences at the table. I think it's

good to have somewhere where you can just sit and be. Does that make you uncomfortable to sit with someone in silence? Not at all. Not at all. My nature is a good sign. My nature is to fill the space

“with words. It depends on the situation. Right. If you're comfortable with somebody, I don't think”

you're that desperate. Right. Right. Yes. Anyway, it was nice. We were, we were quiet together.

It was really pumping in there in that sunset tower. The pre-oscervive in L.A. is always

toxic. Very, which is a toxic, toxic and electric, electric, electric toxicity. I'm going to say electric, toxicity. I mean, listen, it's a moment when that town kind of comes alive. There's something how going on. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Friday was the Beverly Hills reunion. It was, I thought it was really good. You know, I'm very into this season, as you know, and the Italy episodes coming up are about to really pop. And the women looked great. It was a one of, I have

not gone tireless at many Beverly Hills reunions. I went tireless at this reunion. And I got to say when Kathy helped and then Jennifer Tilly join the crowd. I mean, you just want to see those too. You know what I mean? Yeah. They just come in and you're like, oh my god, I love them. I was face timing ban at one point during the reunion and he's like, so, so who makes this show? Like, who's ideal? Was it? One? Good question. What are you doing? And he goes, and who wants to

see it? Like, who wants to see this show? I'm like, well, the answer's in the question. Yeah, you're raising your raising really good points. Was Kathy Elton's birthday, by the way, on the day of the reunion. I was, we ended at about eight, 30 just in time for me to race over to the CAA party. It took my edible. The headline of that party for me was the heated rivalry guys were there. And Hudson Williams came in. I got a big hug from him. And boy,

“is he a sweetheart? Yeah. And I don't remember him being that tall when he was here. Is he?”

How tall would you say he is? Six feet? He might have, oh, six, five, 11. Wow. You know, I was wondering if he was in a little kitten hill or something like that. Maybe what I saw him. Connor's story was there who was so handsome at him. And, um, you know, Hudson likes a sheer top. Yeah. Or a lace top. Yeah, they both do. And last night, he was wearing, um, I wonder who dresses Hudson Williams. They're definitely having a fashion moment. They are

I'm specifically eyeballing Hudson's outfits. I don't, there's yet a long train along. Yes. Yes. Yeah. She's your train. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. My other highlight of that night at the CAA

party was Bruce had this incredible Tom Ford gold suit on. He's like, oh, I've had this for so long.

I told him he tried that jacket on. Bruce and I are the same size. Oh, thank you, uh, GOP 1. Thank you, GOP 1. I was like, it was I go wait a minute. I can borrow the suit. Then I was like, shit, I could have borrowed this for the Beverly Hills reunion. My, my world has opened up. I was so excited. I was really, really excited about that. Uh, and on, towards the end of the night, I got to talk to Mick Jagger, which was super cool. And I know I've co-hosted a ballet event

Mick about? And I started talking to Matt Warhol, and I was asking him like, well, how many of

those, how many of the Mick Warhols do you own? Is that God, too? But he gave me some dogs too. You know, Mick, and he worked really fast to work really fast. That's bad Mick Jagger in person. It's kind of good. Well, I don't know. Um, so Saturday, we went to Barry Dillers lunch, which you've been to, we had many nice times with Julie Chen there. Uh, and yeah, it was really kind of a whos who of of Hollywood. Bruce and I kind of kept ourselves, I will say. Um, and Sunday morning, it was off to

Austin. I was on a seven a.m flight, landed and met my boss Francis, who runs Bravo, and Jen Guiser runs PR, Bravo, and Kristen Kish for lunch. I'd love that, Chris, to love her. She

“chose the restaurant. I wish I could remember the name. She ordered for us. It was like, it was like”

cool Mexican food, and she ordered for us. And what came to the table first was, so big strawberry donut. Oh, delicious. Oh, okay. You're so beyond me, culinary. It's like, who out the whimsy of starting your lunch with this big strawberry donut? Um, good. I

love it, don't I? It was really good. He texted 62 million dollars on donuts. Yes, he did. And he

banned photographers who took pictures that he didn't like. Um, we went to South Congress straight. We had like an hour to kill, and I went in this vintage store, and they had these really nice Hawaiian shirts, and I said to the guy, and I bought one, and it was $89. And I said, you know, double RL sells Hawaiian shirts vintage, and they mark them up so much. I said, so this is actually like a major steal when I'm getting. And he said, oh, oh, I didn't know that. Go down the street to one of

to this men's store that I love in Austin. I won't call them out because the guy goes, oh, we got some really cool double RL Hawaiian shirts, because I wore my Hawaiian shirt out of the other place. I go to

“look at theirs, $389, where the RL shirts. So yeah, I felt like I had beat the system. What can I say?”

So I did two panels yesterday at South by Southwest, really promoting what peacock announced last Friday, I think, which is that peacock announced this bravo verse, where there's an AI version of me that is there, you can log on to peacock. This is coming this summer. And an AI, this avatar of me,

will take you through. It'll basically ask you what your name you say, you put in John, and I'm like,

hey, John, I'm Andy, and I'll take you through like, so like, what are you? What are you looking for? And you're like, I like bitchy girls. And I'm like, well, do I have the bitchy girls for you? And I start feeding you clips. And then if you like something, I'll feed you more. And then if you want more info, I'll tell you, it is an infinite rabbit hole of bravo clips going back forever. And you can watch the full episodes of correspond. I mean, it, this AI me is programmed with every

bit of information that I myself have about bravo, which is endless. And the cool thing is we've been working on this AI model for a while. And I shot, I shot some stuff, and then they, they've been working on my voice, and I had to record stuff. What I like is it doesn't sound exactly like me.

“You can tell it's AI. I think it would be actually creepier if it was like, oh, I can't tell. Like,”

I like it that I seem a little like a robot. Pretty soon, you won't be able to tell. I know, I hope you got paid so much. I got because they're now own your voice. You know what? I mean, like in perpetuity. Yes. Now, they can make you say whatever they want you to say. It was that's a little scary, right? It was part of my last negotiation. I don't think it's scary if you are a participant in it. Sure. If they were doing it without my blessing, or if I wasn't involved,

yeah, it would be, it would be lit to, I would to that. Sure. So that's the whole thing here. I had to do it. We write saying that before like they could do it. Anybody could do it to us from listening to radio show. Right. Like pretend there. Yes. It's yes. But in this case, I think it's a really great use of me.

thought it was really cool. And I was honored that they wanted me to be the host of this digital world.

No, in the future, if you don't want to show up to something, can you say, hey, just get Miss Robot to

“do it. Like if you're playing, if you were too tired today, could you have been like, you know what?”

Just turn on Miss Robot. Like, what would AI and they say, well, I got to be perceived. I don't like that idea. Well, yeah, I mean, either. Yeah, we should burn. Yeah, yeah, right. But I like this, because I'm complicit. Yeah. And I'm a participant. Sure. Sure. And I am a obvious. It's fun. I know, I may profit participant. But what I'm saying is for Brant fans of Bravo, they're going to love it.

Yeah. They're really going to love it. So there was a demo at South by Southwest. It was really cool.

And I just want to shout out a listener who left me flowers backstage at South by Southwest. And a really nice note saying she listens to me, John and Jordan every morning. And Scott.

“And it is her company is called Studio Miss Dean Floral Design in Austin, Texas. So if you”

want to support an independent business of an a fellow listener, Studio Miss Dean Floral Design, and she is, she made some really pretty flowers. And I got to tell you, my plane was delayed. And I was, oh, I took a heroic dose of tincture last night before that flight. And I watched two episodes of Rhode Island. I watched an episode of summer house. I watched an episode of ladies of London. So I was, and I listened to the lights at book. So I was really

doing the do, you know. Tuesday, March 17, 2022. John, happy St. Patrick's Day. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. I hope everyone has a safe place to get drunk today. That's a terrible thing.

“I hope everyone's is now our leprechauns canceled. Are we allowed to make fun of leprechauns?”

Yes. Our leprechauns? Yeah. Yeah, I think they're still fair game. Absolutely. Good morning, everybody. It's Tuesday. Wanted to say. So yeah, we started, oh, we didn't have time to talk yesterday. I mean, I did start the Liza book. We started. We are going to dissect this book.

I have, I have some beginning observations. Okay. First of all, there is a discord about whether

this is AI is. It is. It has to be. So I asked AI, if it was AI, I asked Claude, Claude said it's not. But then it said that there are some reasons to think that it maybe is because she has a deal with this AI book. Yeah. They tried to make a deal with me where you could get you, it's like that. By the way, the Bravo verse on peacock. There's an AI version of me hosting. I'm a profit participant. You know, if they made a deal with me, there's this book company where you can get like

Jerry Garcia to read books to you and they've taken his voice and they made an AI. They asked me to do it. And I guess they asked Liza to do it and she said that she would. So there's speculation that this is AI and that it's Liza's AI. It sounds like AI, doesn't it? Well, it sounds like someone who can speak clearly. And I'm not sure if Liza can do that. No shade. Yes, it's just, it's it's very clear. It's very addiction. The energy is not of someone her agent's nature. And that's again,

no shape. This is very, I like it actually. I thought I was going to hate it. You said me a TikTok or a real about a guy who was like, listen, this is AI. And here's why. And I felt like his example is the only example you need. She goes through her example or she's reading the lyrics to Liza with the Z. She says Liza, Lisa with an S goes, that's the way the song goes. But the AI would know how to interpret that. So it says Lisa with an S goes, not S. Yes, it's weird. It's like a glitch.

It's a glitch. The matrix. Yeah. But also, but whatever, she does also the AI gets a few intonations wrong with which I notice. But the other thing that is the headline to me about the addiction and the reading. I know what you're going to say. The gal or the AI gal. There are no

he's standing up for me. I think that was an AI rule. And it doesn't know that they kind of program

to say any time there was ANG say I end because that's a lie. Yeah, even Liza would of every few times say I as she. It's so, did you notice that out to me, Jordan? I did notice that, but I didn't know if that was like, to her just trying to be like happening. Like to chat and even she would do it. I end a real show of it. It doesn't make sense. Yeah. But there is so much, I mean,

“listen, I would say you should make a drinking game out of it, but absolutely not. It is literally”

Papa, Mama, Mama, Papa, and Mama, and then Papa, and Papa, and Mama, and Mama, it's crazy. There's so much Mama and Papa, and I know I'm only in chapter one. I'm only in chapter one as well. I mean, let's talk about a couple things that have been in the headlines. One thing is the Lady Gaga bit is pretty quick in the beginning of the book about their situation at the Oscars, and she really talks about what's that Lady Gaga's fault. What I think happened is, I think Lady

Gaga's is a, she's on tour. No, I think she's on tour all the time. She's a business woman. She's the head of lots of productions. And I think there were safety concerns. And she said, I don't want to go on stage unless you're in a wheelchair, because I think she thought that was the mature thing to do. I don't think she thought I need you in a wheelchair so that I can look better than you. Yeah. But I think to lies that she says in the book, she felt like that was her

betraying her and mocking her and making fun of her and making her look like shit. But I think to Lady Gaga, I think she was kind of like, I don't want you to fall. By the way, I think it was beyond Lady Gaga. I think it was just a real show. There was a safety concerns. Yeah. And dang it,

“on Lady Gaga seems like a big swing. But lies this crazy. That's a crazy person. That's why we're”

reading the book. That's why we love her. Also Stephanie J. Blackcatching strays from Boy From Oz.

She says she has a fat ass. Yes. That was pretty intense for the first 20 pages. Yes. Also,

I was in the production. You were. I saw that ass up close eight shows a week. Yes, you did. But I mean, she didn't need to. Well, I mean, she's going there. Leiai is going there. Yeah, it's so weird. And um, you know, it's interesting. And you know what? Also, I felt like God bless Michael Feinstein. Yeah. Clearly is her best friend. Yeah. He's taking care of her. He, it sounds like is really in charge of the lies, uh, lore and getting this book done. But I mean,

I thought that some of this stuff so far. I'm like, oh, well, like, these other two writers like filled in a bunch of blanks on Hollywood at the time and whatever. And so I was like, I want this specific lies of memories. Well, you know, when they were confronting this book, this person, this subject, they thought, which story do we want to tell? We want to tell, I mean, there's a lot of stories that lies a could tell. I mean, the, the marriages alone, the showbees alone, the drugs alone.

Well, we'll see. Yeah. I mean, but I think it's a short book for all the things they could dive into. So she probably had to do a little. Is it short? Isn't it? It's half of, well, I guess. Well, it's half of what you have. That's not the worst. That's the worst. Barbara's book is 600 pages. 900 pages. Well, okay. Well, then that's, well, if it's 450 pages, then that's actually a big book. I don't think it's 400 pages. No, I look as much shares book was around 400 or these ladies are old.

Well, no, but they got a lot to say. Yeah. They've lived lives. Yeah.

“Living, breathing, living, dancing, and dancing. Yeah, it's 440 pages. Yeah, that's what I want from”

Wysa. Yeah. The audiobook is 17 hours, 55 pages. I love turk talking about Anlas and I am afraid

to marry a gay guy. Yeah. You know, that's never been the problem. I mean, it's just all about all this.

Why would I care what my husband's sexual preference is? Well, I mean, and it's, you know, she's like, "Wag been stolen from?" I mean, all, I mean, both Mama and Lysa have been stolen from. They've been taken advantage of. I mean, it is sad. Yeah. It is sad. Yeah. It's a brutal business. It is a brutal business. Okay. So we will more to come with the Lysa book. I mean, this is going to take a while. This is going to take a while. I think it'll take us two months to get through it. You do.

It's taking me two months to plan Lysa's birthday party. Is that still happening? Yeah. I mean, I think it'll be a cat cafe. I think we found one in Brooklyn. I'm again, waiting for what the activities

brushing the cats, feeding the cats, looking at the cat, looking at the cat, how loud four people in the kitty in the, in the, what else could you do? Well, there are art projects. Okay. There are art projects. So we'll see. I don't know. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it.

My first day of Ben's manners thing went well. Then I left town. So terrible. Oh my gosh.

It, I gave him the choice. Hugs or hand shakes. He chose hugs the other night. So that was good. That was night one. And we'll see where this goes. It's to everybody's getting a greeting. What can I

“say? That's how it's going to go. Boy, you'll really turn the spotlight on as Paris Hilton coming in here.”

You guys went Paris Hilton came in. She had her own light. She had her own spotlight. Yeah. She had a click light. There was a guy, it was like a gun. It was like a spotlight gun. This lighting now is great. Thank you for that. It's good. This is wonderful. Keep it like this. Yeah. Keep it like this.

Some of the videos. I look purple. Well, listen. I don't know what to say. You know,

I don't know what to say. I'm tired. I still haven't got up on my sleeve. So I don't think you're gonna. Thank you. I really don't. I mean, when? Well, while you're taping Kelly Clarkson? No, okay. I know. I'm taping two episodes of Kelly Clarkson today, actually two and a half. And then I'm taping two and a half episodes of Kelly Clarkson tomorrow. Have your AI do it. And I'm I wish. And then I'm doing some episodes of what happened alive to the I mean, it's a semis robot. It's not stop. This voice

ain't gonna sound better. No, because I get it. Get all this done. You know why you're eyeballing. I can have my apples. I'm getting another CO2 laser on Wednesday. So I get to be on recovery this same amount of time as you four days, five days. Really, the weekend. Okay,

“we'll both be recovering at the same time. I look forward to that, maybe. You know what?”

I bought some last week at the farmer's market across street from my house. I bought some lentil and garlic and shallot vegan soup, which I froze. And I was like, I'm gonna thaw this out from my recovery from my eye surgery. You think you will? Without question, I will. Yeah. I'm gonna eat the entire thing of it. I hope it's good. I think it'll be good. Probably. I think a nice, savory soup when I'm recovering. I think that sounds gorgeous. Yeah. When I'm

in that state, I just eat ice cream. Because I think I deserve it. I'm in pain. I'm recovering. Yes.

It is incredible. The amount of crap that I have in my home that I don't eat. Yeah, you're good.

Like, we have ice cream. We have, but of conversely, I stayed at Bruce versus on Saturday night in LA. Their chef, Dorda, made a, I saw in that they have a second refrigerator in the pantry

“and there was this big thing of cookie dough, which I think she had for Bruce's birthday, but I ate”

a nice chunk of it. I wouldn't be able to contain myself. I can't. Cookie dough. I am absolutely chocolate chip cookie dough. I am, I'm not the same way with cake. I just have to keep. If there's a whole cake, one birthday cake piece of bread. I have to have like, you're like a Miranda hot. I need more. Yeah. I went through a birthday party on Saturday night where we had like a little bit of cake. Like everyone got a little piece and then on the train home, my Uber eats

myself a slice of cake from Billy's bakery. Oh, that about you. I didn't know you're such a cake bag. I like cake. Yeah. I love cakes and cookies and donuts. I'm a baked goods bag, which they say that TikTok says, if you have, if you crave baked goods, it means that you miss the energy of your father. Really? I think we've played it on, maybe we've played on my show. Really? It's a crazy person saying this, but they're saying spiritually, your cravings are associated with different things. Wow.

I'll send you the plug. Back with more from this week's Daddy Diaries after this. Wednesday, March 18th, 2026. Good morning, everybody. I'm Andrew Joseph Cohen

You know what? In truth, I'm not. But I started the show on Monday to what we owe this demeanor.

Well, I started the show on Monday with like a few minutes of complaining and a few other call didn't was like, I'm over listening to him complaining and I was like, oh, maybe I should take that note. Yes. So here I show up to work. Yes. I've gotten I got very little sleep last night,

“which is why I'm a little salty, but life is good. What can I say? Is this stretchy scarf for”

flare or are you covering up a hickie or a curling iron burn? I wish I was covering up a hickie, and I'm grateful. I don't have a curling iron. Next lift. No, I remember my navy blue cashmere

little scarf bandana. Well, you ridiculed that one too. Well, I lost it. You'll be happy to hear.

This is for warmth. I bought a new one and it's for warmth and I didn't realize it was still on, but then I just looked down and I saw it. That's all enough. I just actually posted a picture of myself with said bandanas. It matches your outfits. Judge for yourself. It was family morning at Ben's school this morning. They did a little a wee recital. They sang songs about

“foods. And Ben had a little apron on that he made and a bow tie was pretending to be a waiter.”

It was so cute. And then he was holding this sign. And of course, when it was over, he came up and he gave me all the art. And I was like, well, why don't you bring this home with you? Because no, I want to give it to you now, Daddy. So I now have all this art with me. Don't complain about that. Carrying with me for the day. I'd love to have art on the back of this pizza that he was holding up that he drew. That's on a stick. I saw the word, like, mom. And I was like, oh, boy,

what now? Well, what is happening here? Maybe he was trying to spell something else. He is terrible, Speller. Well, I said to him. Transport dog. What is what is this? And he said, oh, it says, my mommy. There you go. And I was like, oh, it's so talented. He goes, you know, Daddy, it's pizza. So I had to write my mommy. I'm like, oh, Ben, I love it. I mean, while Lucy was but hurt that I was going to Ben's school today. And he was rubbing it in horribly.

I was thought I was going to be quite late today because this family morning went until 920. So I texted Jordan at 7 a.m. I was like Jordan, in addition to my tosties. Can you please run to Starbucks for me and get my tea and Jordan? And I was sitting there like, oh, boy, this is really below her pay grade. Like at what point into our new era here in New York on the show, do you think I can start asking for a coffee? From Jordan, but from just like, well, the issue

is that nice going to come from Jordan. We have no other. The employees of this rod cap, the flagship show of this channel in my name, sake. The staff is his follows Jordan Scott. And that's all we need. I like it that and Pete sometimes. Right. I like it that way. I know so, but so many people I would be annoyed. Well, this is our family. Can I take a recommendation? Yeah. When Jordan already goes to tosties.

“So, why don't you have her get you a coffee at tosties? I might, but I think maybe, maybe we'll see”

about. Effective immediately. I mean, I feel bad making Jordan carry a coffee. I know, but she's already there. It's in a bad. Do you have an extra hand for that? I sure do. For you. Yes. Should do that? Okay. Well, if she's okay with that, then we'll talk. Permission granted. Thank you. By the time I get here, I have had four. No doubt. You know, but well, by the way, I mean, I drink a massive tea in the morning when I'm ripped from my bed by my child. Oh, it's the

for I set out an espresso pod ready to get popped. So that all I have to do is right. Yes,

in the morning. First I understand extra caffeine pod. Oh, thank you, Scott. Anyway, I'm standing

on six Avenue after this family morning, and it was not only a parking lot. Like I said, since yesterday, Patrick's Day, but there were absolutely no cabs. And I was like, girl,

and I've been sitting here for a half an hour. So I felt to wee bit bad because I could have gone

“to Starbucks. Sorry, Jordan. I guess jokes on you. You've got the good wave, though, because the”

F was messed up. Yeah. Oh, I had too many people. I was custom people out. Smooth. We got held at the stage. Oh, I was, oh, by the way, no, it was packed, but we got held at the stage again. Now, what is this gift, this flamingo estate gift here? The Pam Anderson sent me pickles. Oh, those are pickles. And funnily enough, I speaking of Pam Anderson, I'm having dinner with Liam Neeson and his boys tonight to commemorate Natasha's castle. It was March 16 years ago today. She left us in power.

So we are all getting together as we do, and we will raise a glass. I actually won't be drinking because I've got a live episode of what went up in Slife tonight after Southern Hospitality. But yeah, we will be celebrating our late great friend Natasha Richardson who really changed my life. Yeah. So many ways. I talk about her so much and God, she had so such a huge impact on my life. And John wouldn't use it. And one of the many things that I'm grateful about for our relationship

is, I mean, we've really got to spent, you got to go to her house up state. Yeah, to be in London, we saw her on stage. I mean, we really got to hear Oscar Knights here. Yes, Oscar Knights here. I mean, you really, what do you remember about her? I'm just having a memory right now. We were all, the three of us were meeting for dinner, some night in Midtown, like 43rd, some random place in the theater district, and you were running late. So she and I didn't know each other very well,

but we sat down and I remember this. It was like at Manhattan Plaza. Yeah. Yeah. And she really,

“I'll never forget it. She asked me questions that were very deep and very personal about my upbringing”

and what kind of, what's my family like? And in such a, uh, inquisitive, lovely, polite way. And wanted to know more and wanted to get to know me, and it was very generous. I remember this, you know, and it was in for you being like, I had a break through night with Natasha. Yeah. Because at 25,

I was prickly as you always mentioned. Yeah. And it was hard for me to let my guard down with certain

people. I was like, I didn't want to seem like a fame horror. Yeah. And I just was kind of like, I didn't know how to connect with certain people. You know, I was impressed, especially when I admired like her. Yes. And and for her to just kind of talk to me as like, we're cool, new friends getting together. We like, it was just very much a solidifying of a vibe. That's very cool. Like, there's nothing to get Pat, like, we're good. Let me know about your, where are you from? Like,

what are you? Right. It's just like, they're generous of her to take her time to get to know me. Yes. Most people don't do that. Yes. That is her manners, her grace of, you know, like, you and her taught me that asking people questions about themselves is a very generous act. Most people forget to do it. Yes. Um, well, we love you, Natasha. I, you think they get serious and heaven. She listened to us on the app. I don't think they do because I think making Kelly's band from heaven.

“Why did you have to screw in this conversation? She is disgusting. Locked out of heaven is about her.”

I always walk in fearing that she'll be in that fishball. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking

forward to getting fired for a public, you know, like when monkeys throw feces, that will be me to make him throw and poop. I ran on page six this morning, the Jeremy O'Harris. I saw this way. Right. He told he told Sam Altman, he's a Nazi and I mean, you know, it's funny. I was at Barry's picnic the other day. I saw Sam. I had a long talk with him and I saw him. I want to see like in person. You know what? I've known him for years. I know you say Louis. And this AI thing was going to happen and now I'm like,

what did you do? I haven't had the nuts to talk to him about. Oh, please. A little tweet from thing and come on. I just, but Jeremy did. Yeah. Anyway. Good for him. I am, um, I hosted three three episodes of the Kelly Clarkson show yesterday. Are you going to say who the guess were? Yeah, I will. And then I went to watch what happens live after that. And I was there

Kelly Clarkson show. She's got a live band called Y'all. Um, and anyway, it was Demi Lovato.

“Was on, did a long interview with her. Really love her. The property. I love them.”

Tapping more today. Porsche's on the top chef judges. This is why you're in a good mood. Well, you've got daytime talk show energy. Well, you're turning it into a good. No, this is good. Yeah. Um, it's just fun. And you know what? It really, they come saying, thank you. Thank you for doing this. And I was like, I feel so lucky that I get to ask to co-host to guest host to show and that I can step in and just do it. And it's super easy and super fun. There were 200 people

in each audience at least. Clapping. Cool. So excited to be there. Flapping for me. I mean,

it's like, what could you not enjoy about that experience? This is gratitude. And I know exactly. I just felt so lucky. And I'm like, oh, now I'm going from this to my hit talk show of my own name. Where my staff is to get a dream to live me if I would play softball on the team. Okay. But have you found a lesbian yet? For the team? No, but Sanchi who is not a lesbian. I did ask her at craft service last night. I go, so I didn't make reference to the, to the lesbian thing.

But I said, so are you playing on the team? Because Sanchi is like pro level. Yeah. And she said, I am. And I'm saying, oh, thank God. She goes, are you? I'm going to check that. So, um, yes, that's coming up more to come there. Uh, and yeah, so anyway, excited to be doing the Kelly Clarkson show. I'm walking across the street to do more today. Um, it's down. It's across the hall from the Jimmy Fallon studio. So there's a lot of energy there. Um, it was St. Patrick's

State yesterday. So, uh, oh, give the shit. Wending your way through the drugs. I mean, if that's

“not enough to make you sober. Yeah. I mean, honestly, but by the way, it wasn't enough to make me”

sober because when I tell you, by the time our live show rolled around last night after summer house, I was like, I couldn't drink the tequila fast enough. It was, hey, why don't you have an alcohol brand. You know what, it's not a slam dunk obvious, but it makes me so many times through so many years. But I feel like to break through to penetrate the crowd. It takes so much. Yeah. So much work. And I'm like, you know what, it just seems like I had on a hat. I made a list for me to have an

alcohol. Celebrity alcohol brands for a game I played with Mariah that we didn't end up playing on my show. But I had to do research about it. Everyone's got one like you're just saying, but I think

“there are people who shouldn't have one that have them that are really successful. And I think you just”

got to get through your hat and the ring, even if it is a hat on that. I don't, I just feel like do you want more money? I too, but I feel like it would be a ton of work. I would be then just bloody social media. Give it to someone else. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't do that. I don't do that. And also, I just think it's like in store appearances, meet and grades with this. I'd rather keep I have a book coming out later this year, which hopefully will announce soon. I, like, I feel

very good with what I have. I don't think to take it down turn and your career is tits up. Then we'll discuss. I don't know because I think that I would need the platform of what's what happens live to, you know, let John be your, the Carl to your Kyle. All right, John can do the non-al. I'll be like, oh, no, I'll just be like, I've heard it has great legs. I've put in a string that I'll feel. And then I'll offend John by not investing in his, you know, yeah, and his soft

bar. Right. My product we all know is sunscreen and that's coming in. It's going to make us all

billion dollars. Well, I've been really using my fake tanner. You know, I've got a haircut tomorrow

after our show and before my cataract surgery. And I have to say, my hair is I was so the one great

The end of the night, I was like, why are you cutting it? I'm just trimming it. I'm just trimming it. Well, you know what I used to date was a little Victoria Beckham Foundation drops on the skin. Really. Flexion. Really. The, the reviews that the hype is real. People that I know who are just regular everybody people are like, that is the best one. And, and they were right. Wow, luxurious. Um, perfect match. We'll see what happens. I am really, uh, I'm really,

there are a few things that caught my eye today. Um, in the paper, first of all, this Oprah

one on one with the kiss cam later. Like, when she posted about it and labeled it a quote, world exclusive. I was like, all right, that two things can be true. It may be a world exclusive, but it also is a world exclusive one year to late. Like, the thing about Oprah when

“she had the Oprah show, she would have had that locked up within a month. Yeah. You know what I mean?”

Like, so a year later, but also, um, we know Oprah's living in a bubble. Yes, she is. But also, then I read a thread on threads about the interview about what the woman actually said. And, and it was actually quite interesting. Like, she said her husband was also in the audience. It was

the first time that she had been affectionate with this guy. So there was a, she and her husband were

already splitting. I mean, there was a lot of other stuff happening. So, you know, it just goes to show you. And she was upset at Ryan Reynolds and Gwyneth Paltrow for doing that ad. It's like, well, lady, that, I don't, that, that I'm not interested. I was over that the next day. I don't care.

“But I will say her friend who was also in the interview. Y'all, I mean, in the shot. I think her”

friend who ducked out of the, her friend DMed me around that time. And was like, I'm the friend. She said, and she's a radio and elist. Oh, wow. And she said, there's so much more to the story. And she was like, and I DMed her and I go, "Wait, come on the radio." So I actually tried to get the friend. I didn't try to, and she said, "No." No, and then I put Anthony on to her and then it just kind of fell out. And I think that the friend thought it was Christian Cabot's story to tell you.

Yeah, it was. But like, Christian Cabot, with all do, should have done the interview sooner. Because also, if she had done the interview sooner, she could have rewritten her narrative sooner. You know, it just, it became, you know, endless. Now there was also an article on Page Six. Um, about Harry and Megan. And how, now according to Page Six, everyone at Netflix can't stand that. Right. And that Megan would like drop off. Zoom's all the time and immature behavior.

immature behavior. And that she and Harry would be unzubed, and she would speak for him and interrupt and put her hand on his leg so she could talk and all this stuff. Now, the thing that I love about Harry and Megan is, they are so petty that they respond to every freaking rumor that is written about them. And of course there were quotes galore in the article. It's like, even I know that when the margarita lady or some one says something ridiculous, you just keep it moving.

Yeah. Harry and Megan respond. We should start saying shit about them and see if they respond.

“Because they what they do is they drag themselves down into the mud that they're, you know what I mean?”

So it's just, it's incredible to me that they don't, and you know, I don't know which one of them

to blame or is responsible for that. Who do we think? Well, now this is their business. Like, their business is not making the jelly. And it's not the show. It's being in Page Six. Right. Fighting. That is their industry now. Right. It's being in the tabloids. Like, they want to make jelly and they want to make Rafi a twine to put on your Christmas tree and gigubi, but like it's it's really just being fighting in the mud and keeping the rise afloat actually. Jordan, what do you

I think those chickens were rented. Yeah. That's funny. They're not feeding those chicken. They're

“shit about those chicken. I think those eggs. They were hired. They were hired. They were probably”

AI. They were probably clones. Now, the other story and don't worry, I'm not going to start ragging on Trump, but the, the other why not that I think is so funny is that Trump on Monday amongst the flow of lies that come out of his mouth said, I spoke to a former president who wishes that he had bombed Iran. All four former presidents have been contacted and said, "Did you speak to Trump?" All four living former presidents have said, "No." Yeah. I didn't talk to him. Yeah.

So the bitch, she'll fall asleep in her own lies. Again, always. It's just so funny. I just was like,

you're so stupid. So dumb. Do you think you're not, I mean, anyway, so funny. Thursday, March 19th, 2026. Play John. Hey, good morning. I don't know why I have a spring in my staff because it's in you. I'm getting, I'm getting my cataracts surgery. Yeah. I am so excited.

“What if you get them and you can see me and you're like, oh, that's what you look like? No,”

I can say you're planning. Um, you're, you, I can't see. I can't see anything else, but I see you. Well, I said whenever I, I'd like to blur you a little bit. I'm very lit. Yes. Um, and yeah, I mean, I just, I'm so excited to get my, I, my, I operate. I don't have to be for you to see you finally meet. I can't see you. I was that family day yesterday. I was like, I can't see what the word say 20 feet ahead of me. Anyway, um, so there you go. And everyone at watch what happens

live will be very happy because I've been like the prompter situation is not amazing. Um,

what else I want to tell you, you know, I ordered a shirt on Instagram the other day and I was like, my Instagram purchases are so. I, if I see something, I, or they're so, um, what's the logic and chaotic, they're quick, impetuous impulsive impulsive. Yes. That's the word. They're

“impulsive. What is the product? What are the products that are, are you getting targeted at you?”

Peanut stuff, grateful dead stuff. You know, so the peanuts, I bought a t-shirt that was in image of, you know, that scene in the Charlie Brown Christmas where they're all dancing. Yes. Yes. Yes. And it's a zoom in of two of the characters dancing, two of the lesser known characters, but they're just going ham dancing and it's such a great image. And I was like, that's a great t-shirt. I want that. So I ordered it. Did not think twice about it. It arrived like two weeks later

in a non-descript thing from like, you know, Asia or something. Now, what they don't tell you. And it was like $40. Yeah. Yes. Three. The fabric. Yeah. What? Classic. No, quite literally, I actually thought it was like, is this like a swimsuit, like a rash guard? Right. That's the fabric. I know the fabric. Except. I was like, I guarantee you if I wore this in the pool, I would still get sunburned. Right. This actually is only just Nailani and I'm so pissed.

That's, yeah. And it's been sitting there in my closet. And then it's going to sit in trash island in the middle of the Pacific. Yeah. It is. Yes. It is. Or landfill. I'm so annoyed. Anyway, another post script from the week, I keep, you know, yesterday I was talking about the playwright Jeremy O'Harris who mowed off to Sam Altman about his involvement with this administration. Something else happened, which I was reminded of this morning.

Every year I go to Barry Dillers Oscar lunch and John has come with me and Bruce is usually with me or there with me, whatever. So one, one day, I'm going to say 20 years ago at this lunch,

there's a buffet. It's great. There's all these picnic tables. It's outside. We walked up with our food to the table of a very, very famous name brand movie producer. And we were about

to sit with him. And he looked at us and said, "No, like you're not, who are you?" Basically,

he was like, "Bitch, please." Hmm. Yeah. And it's like a picnic, though. It's a picnic, like there's

“you sit wherever. Well, that's what we thought. And when I tell you, we talked about it for many years after.”

Anytime his name came up, a movie came up for this, so that we talked about it. Maybe he was saving the seats. Well, exactly. Well, maybe he was because so cut to last Saturday. You can't say who it is. Barry's Oscar thing. I don't want to say because then it's like, then it gets picked

up by Page Six and it's just stupid. It just doesn't matter. Was it Brian Grayzer? Was it Jeffrey

Katzenberg? Was it Jerry Brockheimer? You know, it could be any. Okay. So, or it could be none of them. So, then this year, Bruce and I sit down at a table for like six or seven. And now, I have a feeling Jason Blum's going to be sitting with us. Bruce has been, so you're Steven. It was someone else that, so, and Bruce is the nicest person ever, right? So, this guy who I had met, who was a journalist,

“I had met him earlier. He introduced himself to me. And he was there with his friend, who I think is”

a reporter. And he had introduced himself to me earlier. And I, we spoke, whatever. So, Bruce and I are

sitting there, all of a sudden, this guy comes up to the table and they have their food. And they, like, are actually starting to just sit down. It seems. And I looked at them kind of horrified to share this. And he goes, oh, can we? And Bruce, who is just nice, is like, sure. And I go, well, wait. Because also, my, not even my boss. My boss's boss is boss was also in the vicinity and was probably, and wound up, by the way, sitting next to me. And we had a very, a conversation that

“was important to me. So, like, I go, I was like, well, and he goes, oh, are you saving these?”

And Bruce goes, no. And I'm like, well. And then I start naming the people who I surmised would be sitting with us. And by the way, spoiler alert, I surmised correctly. So, you know, that is who wound up sitting with us. And it was, so you sent them out. They were the people that needed to sit with us. Okay. So, yes. So, then they kind of turn around and leave. Now, A, I feel terrible. B, I also feel like I would have loved to have some unity with my best

friend, Bruce. You know, I go, Bruce. He's like, oh, I'm sorry. You know, like, whatever. I'm like, he also seems to be rude to old people. If he was famous 20 years ago, he's got to be 80. Now, you sent an 80 year old to go find another seat? No, honey. We didn't. It wasn't that movie producer. Oh, just some other person. I thought you were saying, like, the cycle of Hollywood. No, honey. I was saying it was this reporter. Oh, that's fine. So, then I had met earlier,

but I just met them. That's fine. So, Bruce turns to me and says, you know, that that kid is now going to be talking. Right. The way we talking about that guy. Now, I cannot get that out of my head all day. And I'm like, oh, shoot. It sounds like a nicer than the other person was to you. I don't know. Maybe I was. You didn't say absolutely not. I know, but Bruce contradicted me. So then I said, um, Bruce, somebody who's talking to people when they come up to your table at dinner.

Exactly. Yes. Unacceptable. So, you know what I did later that afternoon and now Sarah Michelle Gellers walking down the hallway. So, we're going to have to cut this. But later that afternoon,

I go 20 years ago, Bruce and I tried to sit. We were saying, I go, and now we feel like you're going

“to be telling this story. Ha ha. And did I make it worth her? So then he didn't see the DM for, like,”

24 hours. And then he responded, he goes, oh, this is great. He goes, I like being a part of your

lore or something like that and he was very gracious. But do you think I? Do you think I fixed it?

“Or because I feel bad. That's a kind of shit. I remember. I think you probably fixed it fine.”

Okay. Because Jordan. I mean, I think that only makes his story better than you DM them. Yeah. Voice notes. So I think it's all good. It's all fun stories to tell for years to come. I have

“Sibba Bruce too. It's admirable that Bruce is so nice like that. Like I wish I was nice or to strangers”

who come to the table. He's nice for one and for all. Hi and love. Yeah. Anyway, I of course, and that's all at the table. And of course, those were the people who sat with us. So like, okay.
