performing, appearing on TV,
she's been entertaining
audiences for the past five
decades.
>> Let that sit in for a little
bit.
And just been announced she will
replace Sara Gilbert at the
table of "The talk."
Congratulations.
How does that feel?
>> You guys, this is like a --
it's like a dream.
I'm this gratitude and -- it's
humbling.
They are such great women.
Every single one of them I --
the last nine years I'll go on
and co-host or whatever.
And when CBS asked me if I would
be interested, I was like yes!
>> That's the thing, is that
this stage in the game, you want
to be with people that you love
and have fun every day.
This is like a real day job.
This is going to be the first
time in eleven years that I'll
be able to have dinner with my
husband at night.
>> Is any topic off limits or
anything you won't do or go
there?
>> I don't think so.
My thing is that if -- if you're
just there to air dirty laundry,
I'm not into that.
If you were there for something
purposeful or learning
something -- we're family.
I have eight children that are
so different.
But they love each other.
I feel that at that table.
>> Imagine eight kids.
That alone, you should have a
seat at the table.
>> I thought my name was hey,
you forever.
>> You talked about earlier
going to be missing performing
but something tells me, this is
L.A.
There's plenty of places to
perform around here.
>> I'm finishing up a big album
in Prague.
>> Of course you are.
>> Because I have a weird voice
in Vegas.
I'll do everything from country
to opera and everything in
between.
But I'm doing some performance
dates coming up.
>> You love working -- you love
your family, you seem to have a
wonderful balance.
What does a day off look like
do you lounge around?
>> I have eight children.
[ Laughter ]
>> So that's a no.
>> You know what, we have one
child at home now, she's 16, and
my husband and I were saying how
it's so much more calm.
She's so fun and I have four
grandchildren now.
>> Oh, my goodness.
>> And we have two more on the
way.
One do any second -- she was
doing my hair and makeup for me
today.
And then my other one is in
Vegas doing my hair and makeup
for me.
But they're so fun and they have
great work ethics and they're
strong women.
My sons are amazing men.
I just love -- I love family.
And so when I can be with all of
them, that's fun for me.
>> I know you talked about your
grandkids, I do not see you as
grandma or Nana.
What do your grandkids call you?
>> Grandma.
Because I got run over by a
reindeer and I hear it all the
time.
>> We are so happy you're at
"The talk."
We're going to play a little
game about mom fails.
Have you ever called a child by
the wrong name?
>> Yes.
[ Laughter ]
>> Right.
>> Okay.
Have you ever had to Google text
abbreviations from your kids so
you know what they mean.
>> No.
I just ask them.
[ Laughter ]
>> You text me stuff I don't
he calls me aunty because I
don't know what this means.
>> I want to hang with you.
>> Have you ever bought
store-baked cupcakes for the
school bake sale?
>> Of course.
And eat them for dinner too.
>> So busy you left the house
with two different shoes on?
>> Yes.
But I was pregnant and I was
doing a talk show and I was
working 18 hours a day.
I walked on stage and I went to
put my shoes on I was like, lose
them.
I went out in my slippers.
One day I went outside and I
didn't have any shoes on.
>> But you had clothes.
>> That's debatable.
>> Have you ever blocked by any
of your kids or cousins with
social media?
>> No.
>> What's an ideal mother's day
with you?
>> Dinner with the kids -- and
now it's interesting because I
have so many children that are
mothers and my daughter-in-law
is amazing, and so they have
their mother days.
And I'll call them and when we
can get together, it's
beautiful.
But sometimes we'll celebrate
after when we can all kind of
coordinate it which is how my
mother did it.
And she was -- she was the
perfect mother.
She really truly was the most
amazing woman, an example
that -- well, that I ever had.
She was savvy businesswoman.
She could always find that
person that needed attention and
she loved people and she loved
us.
>> You learn from the best right
there.
>> She's pretty amazing.
>> Before we let you go.
Is Donny jockeying for a chair
at "The talk"?
>> Are you saying he's a girl?
>> He wants in.
This show is so good.
>> I know he has a lot of things
that he's being offered right
now, and I will miss up.
But remember, he is my brother,
and I will see him.
But this is a big deal.
This is end of an era.
And so come and see the show
while you can because it really
is a fun show.
And everybody asks, why is it
eleven years?
Have you ever seen the movie
"Spinal tap"?
