-Dorinda, we have so much to talk about.
-So much to talk about. -You know I'm a fan of yours.
-I hear your wife is, as well.
-Nancy. The Fallon family loves Dorinda.
-I love Nancy. -Oh, we love you so much.
-Are you shocked or surprised ever when a celebrity is like,
"I'm a big fan of yours"?
Because I know there are some famous ones out there.
Sarah Paulson. -Yes, love her.
-Lady Gaga loves you. -Yes.
-Rihanna.
-She wants to come to the Berkshires.
-I have this. She wants to come to the Berkshires.
You posted this.
And then look, down here, badgalriri says,
"I wanna come over."
-Riri -- She can bring the baby now.
-She can bring the baby. -It's so easy.
It's such a baby-friendly place. -It is?
Yeah, I want to come by.
So Rihanna hasn't been there yet?
-She hasn't been there yet. -Rihanna, open invitation.
-But I've got to tell you a funny story.
So, when I called my parents,
who everyone has seen on TV, and they're older now.
-Yeah. -They live in the Berkshires.
I called up and I said, "Hey, Mom. Guess what."
"Hey, John, your daughter's on the phone!"
So, of course, it's 20 minutes.
They make it on the phone. They pick up.
"Yeah, what's going on? Everything okay?
"Yeah, everything's -- I'm going to be on 'The Tonight Show.'"
"John, your daughter's gonna be on 'Johnny Carson'!"
[ Laughter ]
[ Applause ]
And I just couldn't break it to them.
-[As Carson] "I'm very excited that you're here tonight.
It's unbelievable."
-It just cracked me up. -[Normal voice] They're like,
"What is going on right now?!"
-Oh, they're gonna be so asleep.
[ Laughter ]
-You've had some of the most iconic lines
in "Housewives" history.
I want to show a couple of these.
Because these were memes that went around online.
-Uh-oh. -No.
I just loved you right after this.
You said, "I decorated. I cooked. I made it nice."
[ Laughter ] "I made it nice."
-And that's a sentiment
that all women feel, like, in the world, you know?
And I'm going to tell you --
Because these girls were acting terribly
and not appreciating anything I was doing.
-Yeah, exactly. -And I was fed up.
-Yeah, and you gotta tell them what's up!
-I cooked, I cleaned, I made it nice!
-"I made it nice!" Come on.
-We've all felt like that. -This one made me laugh.
"Martinis are like breasts.
Two are great. Three are too many."
-We've seen it on TV.
Dorinda on three martinis isn't so good.
I'm great at two, not so great at three.
-You're good TV at three, though.
This one went uber-viral during the pandemic.
Everyone just sent this around.
Someone said, "How you doing?"
You go, "I'll tell you how I'm doing. Not well..."
-Bitch! -Yeah. Yeah.
-And I said it to Candace Bushnell.
That was the biggest joke of it.
But let me tell you something about that.
I made a lot of money on mugs off of that one
during the pandemic. -Mugs? Oh, really?
-I mean, I could not keep them in stock.
Mugs, totes, and sweatshirts.
I couldn't pack that [bleep] fast enough.
Oh, you can't swear.
[ Laughter ]
-Mom! Hey, Mom, Dad, mute the -- mute the TV for a second.
-I couldn't pack that stuff fast enough.
-Really? -Yeah.
-When you do stuff like this, did you know that
you wanted to be on TV and wanted to be a housewife?
-No. -You didn't? You didn't know?
-It was never in my thought process.
I really thought that sort of Hannah would go to college,
and Richard and I would live
happily ever after in the Berkshires.
Kind of live in London and New York
and do that sort of "after kids are gone" thing.
But everything changed.
And then, you know, I got a call if I was interested.
And I met with people. And a month later, I was on.
You want to hear a funny story, Jimmy?
-Of course. -Here I go again.
I'll tell you something.
I remember I was filming with Ramona Singer,
my first scene in the Hamptons.
-Love her. -Yep.
And I'm going to tell you something.
The camera came around the corner, and I thought,
"Hm, I like the camera, and I think the camera likes me."
-You felt it?! -I felt it.
-You felt it right there. -And from there on, I was like,
"This works for me." -Yeah, you're a star.
-I don't know if I was a star, but I liked the whole banter.
-You are fantastic, and you're one of my favorites.
I'm so happy that you're on the show.
-Thank you. -You're so good.
I want to show a clip. Here's Dorinda Medley
In "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip:
Ex-Wives Club."
You can watch this one. Take a look.
-There was food in the bedrooms.
I don't like food in the bedrooms.
-You know what? Marco brought us yogurts.
-Fruit, yogurt.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
-I just don't do food -- -I agree with you.
-'Cause you know what? -You should know.
-I'm so petrified of mice and things.
-I actually have that policy at my house.
-It says it on the plaque. "Clear liquid."
Everyone has a plaque in their room.
-There's so much going on in that room...
hanging off the ceiling. -Let me get the plaque.
-Oh, no, I got it. I don't need the plaque.
-I'll get the plaque.
-I don't need the plaque, Dorinda. I got it.
No food in the room.
She's so worried about rats and mice.
Why did she put cupcakes in our room?
-Dorinda Medley, everybody.
