I'm gonna play this game the way I want to. It might be serious, it might be a comedy, it might be a dramedy, it might be variety, it might be a talk show, whatever. There's no box.
Yeah, we went to England to do a show and I got off the plane and I couldn't write my name or hold my hand up.
I guess because I was on the 'Early Show' for so many years, any little victory here is something kind of new for me.
I'm so excited and honored to be part of 'Entertainment Tonight!' 'E.T.' was the show that started all the entertainment news, so I couldn't be more thrilled.
In Russia, writers with serious grievances are arrested, while in America they are merely featured on television talk shows, where all that is arrested is their development.
The idea of being a show runner was very attractive to me, to create and control something.
