CARE OF YOUR KIDS, YOUR WIFE,

THING I EVER DID.

REALITY SHOW, COMEDY SHOW, ALL
OF THESE CLIPS, YOU'RE SINGING
KARAOKE THERE IN THE BACK OF
THE BUS, THAT'S THE CLIP WE'RE
WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
IS THIS JUST ALL HAPPENING
NATURALLY?
>> YOU KNOW, WE HAD PLANNED TO
GO TO THESE CITIES ANYWAY, AND
THEN ONCE WE GOT THERE, THE
CAMERA JUST FOLLOWED US AROUND,
AND THE RULES WERE, HAVE FUN,
FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND WE
DID IT, WE LIVED.

TUNE INTO THE SHOW TONIGHT.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU YOU ABOUT THE
LATE MUHAMMAD ALI.
>> BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD.
I WENT OUT THERE TO TEAR HIS
HEAD OFF, TO DESTROY HIM.
WHO WOULD KNOW THAT A FEW YEARS
LATER, WE BECAME THE BEST OF
FRIENDS, TRADING PHOTOGRAPHS OF
GRANDKIDS, HANGING OUT,
LAUGHING, JOKING.
HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS
I EVER HAD.
>> AND WERE YOU SURPRISED BY
THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND
SUPPORT?
REMEMBER WHEN HIS HEARSE WAS
DRIVING THROUGH THE STREETS,
AND PEOPLE JUST EVEN WANTED TO
TOUCH IT OR GET A PHOTO WITH IT
PRPD IT.
WERE YOU SURPRISED BY HOW MANY
PEOPLE REACHED OUT TO SHOW
THEIR LOVE FOR HIM?
>> HE WAS PHENOMENAL.
WHEN YOU MET HIM, YOU WILL
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT.
THAT THING.
OF COURSE THEY LOVED HIM.
>> SO KEEPING WITH THE BOXING
THEME, GIVE AUSTIN A LITTLE
JAB, JAB, UPPER CUT.
GIVE US A LESSON.
>> I'M NOT THAT GOOD AT BOXING
ANYMORE.
WHEN I LEFT BOXING, I LEFT IT.
FRIGHTENED GUY ON THE PLANET
NOW.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID IT.
WHEN I SEE A BOXING MATCH, I
DO THAT ANOTHER MINUTE?
ANOTHER ROUND?
I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID IT.
>> WELL, WAIT A MINUTE, THOUGH,
BECAUSE YOU WERE 45 YEARS OLD
TITLE?
>> I WAS IN THE RING AND
LOOKING AT A REPLAY DURING MY
BOXING DAYS AND NOW THEY WERE
SAYING, GEORGE, STAND IN THIS
CORNER.
HE'S 48 YEARS OLD.
AND I SAID, AM I CRAZY?
THAT'S WHEN I STOPPED.
I STAYED TOO LONG.
I WAS A GRANDFATHER AND
WORLD.
>> EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE STEPPED
AWAY FROM THE BOXING RING, YOU
YOU HAVE A RANCH.
>> YOU'RE A GOOD OLD COUNTRY
BOY.
>> I HAD NO IDEA.
>> I RAZE CATTLE.
>> COWS, HORSES, CHICKENS?
>> THE CHICKENS, I GATHER FRESH
EGGS AND EVEN BRING THEM BACK
TO HOUSTON.
WE RAISE OUR CATTLE.
>> WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF
THE RANCH?
>> I LOVE RIDING THE HORSES,
TAKING CARE OF THE HORSES,
GROOMING THEM.
>> GEORGE, IS THAT TRULY A
TYPICAL DAY IN THE LIFE OF
GEORGE FOREMAN?
ARE YOU OUT THERE RIDING THE
HORSE?
>> YOU'VE GOT TO GO OUT AND
EARN LOTS OF MONEY BECAUSE
HORSES, THEY LOVE TO STAND
STILL AND JUST EAT.

COLLEGE.

HOW MANY UNITS OF THAT PRODUCT
HAVE YOU SOLD TO DATE?
>> I SOLD THE COMPANY, BUT I
SOLD 140 MILLION GEORGE FOREMAN
GRILLS.
ONLY BECAUSE THEY WORK.
>> THEY DO WORK.
>> AND THEY WORK VERY, VERY
WELL.
YOUR KIDS TO COLLEGE.
>> I HAD A LOT OF MONEY UNTIL
MY KIDS STARTED GOING TO
COLLEGE.

BEEN OCCUPYING YOUR TIME,

YOU?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, IF THE SHOW
