This is about Ferris Bueller, Nietzsche, my high school yearbook, my son and my dog. And my core beliefs. Let me explain…

Sesame Street sparked my lifelong pursuit of visiting television sets. It all started with Bob McGrath…

After The Sopranos ended and Edie was starring in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie, I’d been writing for The New York Times…

I always laugh when Michael Imperioli and I take a picture because he's almost NEVER smiling. And of course, I'm ALWAYS grinning from ear to ear. But watch…

Here’s a snapshot into me getting ready to interview my Really Famous guests. Can you tell how much I love my job?

Welcome to the first-ever special Emmys Week on Really Famous.

Fun fact #1: Here's more proof of my childhood obsession with #grease. My sister also loved the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John masterpiece, but I think she preferred Saturday Night Fever. (Being an older sister and all, she was into the more mature stuff. )

I was 18 and belonged to a local gym in New Jersey…

I confess. I’ve spent entirely too much time in the sun.

I have a new motto, friends. I learned it the hard way.

I recently visited Muir Woods, a stunning forest of massive redwood trees in Marin County, California…

Have you ever looked at your phone wondering...

On a cold January afternoon in 2015, I went to Tim’s apartment in New York City…

I associate many of my dresses with the celebrities I interviewed while wearing them. 😄

Can you match a dress to a guest?

Conan O'Brien didn't want me to be his accountant. (Not that I blame him.)

Let me explain…

What you don't know about Louie Anderson and me is that we created a morning show together. Now, looking back, I'm JOYFUL that I had the chance to do this with him. Louie was a bright light that made my life more radiant. Let me explain…

I was a nervous wreck the day I met Spike Lee. Let me explain…

My grandmother, Blanche, with her friends. My grandma (2nd from left) had a thriving social life and got all dressed up basically always (as far as I could tell). She lived in the Bronx, NY, and even though she never drove a car, she was constantly out and about.

When I was 17 and got my drivers license (woot!), I drove to her apartment to take her out to lunch...
