-Welcome back. You look fantastic, as always.
I'm so happy when you come on the show.
Thank you for coming on. -I love being here.
-I want to show a picture that Drake posted on Instagram.
A picture of you and Drake.
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
And no big deal. You guys are hanging out.
And he said, "Fill it up in a briefcase
and split that shiz with my vibe."
[ Laughter ]
That's pretty cool. Do you have any idea what --
[ Laughter ]
Do you have any idea what that means?
-Well, I didn't know shiz.
Now that I see it written, now I know what that means.
-Oh, yeah. -S-dot-dot-dot.
-Yeah.
-No, I have no idea.
[ Laughter ]
But he's charming.
-Yes. -And it must not be bad.
-No, it sounds good.
-He would never write anything bad about me.
[ Laughter ] -No, he wouldn't.
"Fill it up with a briefcase and split that S with my vibe."
I would do that.
[ Laughter and applause ]
Where were you?
-Well, we were at the CFDA Awards.
And we were -- we had sat at the same table.
And we were all wearing chrome hearts, you know,
all that really fabulous jewelry.
And I remarked that his hairdo was very nice.
And he started to complain about it.
Patted the top, and said it was a little frizzy.
And I said he looked really good.
But men, I guess, worry about their hairdos also.
Do you worry about your hairdo?
-No, no.
This is the best toupee I can get on Amazon.
[ Laughter ] It's really the greatest.
He looks fantastic. Oh, yeah, he was trying a new look?
-He's so charming.
-But you were giving an award to Kim Kardashian.
-I was, yeah.
-And I also saw -- -For underwear.
-Yeah. She did a great job with that.
I saw a post that Kris Jenner put up
of you guys with Khloe and Kris.
-We all look the same. Look.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
You look like sisters. -Yeah, we look exactly the same.
-What was it like at the Kardashians?
-Oh, fabulous.
They live sort of in a compound.
-They do, yeah. -And they have very nice houses,
many rooms, all kinds of --
like 150 Hermes pocketbooks in a closet.
-Oh, my gosh!
Did you get to snoop around or anything?
-I got to go into every closet, every refrigerator,
into basements, attics --
Well, they don't have an attic, but --
-Yeah, you went everywhere. -Everywhere.
And we had such a good time.
A very nice house tour. -Yeah, I like that family.
Is there any celebrity that you get star-struck meeting?
-Meeting? Well, if I could meet --
I was asked this question once.
I've been sort of fascinated with this very handsome
young boy on Instagram.
He's called Brad Pitt.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And I -- I just sort of melt when I look at those pictures.
I mean, he is so cute.
[ Laughter ]
-Really? For real, you --
-Oh, I mean, check it out.
[ Laughter ]
-I will. But you follow Brad Pitt?
-I do. -Were they fan pages?
-They're fan pages, I guess. I don't know.
But whatever it is,
he looks better and better as the years go by.
-I love that you love Brad Pitt. -I do. I do.
-The holidays are coming up. I always think of you.
You're very nice to come on our show
every holiday, every Thanksgiving.
And I do think of you. Are you hosting a big party?
-I'm having a small -- no, small, small dinner.
Just for orphans, people who have nowhere else to go.
So I thought it would be nice.
[ Applause ] -That's cool.
-Yeah.
-Is there a side dish to Thanksgiving
that you think is a little overrated?
-String beans. -Yeah.
-Yeah. I mean, even on the "Today" show,
they had string beans today.
I just don't think they go with Thanksgiving.
-No. -They don't grow in the fall.
-They're not in season. -The garden is over.
-That is weird. -Yeah.
They have string beans, and they always have stuff on them.
You know, like, almonds and stuff like that.
-Or what's the -- No, the other thing they put on top.
Dried onions? -Yeah, fried onions.
Fried onions. Terrible.
-I don't like when people put things
on top to cover the taste. -Not my style.
I don't even have a recipe for string beans.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, you know what I meant to tell you,
by the way, thank you so much.
You gave me a jar of tiny little beautiful peppers.
-Those little Brazilian peppers.
-They looked like raindrops.
-Yes, red and yellow.
Pickled. Pickled.
-Pickled and delicious and I loved it.
-I grow those. -You do?
-Yes. -That was the best because
remember I ran into you at a farm.
-That's right. Remember? -I was at a farm.
-What's the name of that great farm out there?
-It's Fairview Farms. -Oh, so good.
-Harry is the guy, the farmer.
I was at this place and I got a pickle
'cause I was getting into pickling.
I go, "Harry --" to this farmer,
I go, "Do you know how to pickle at all?
I have no idea what I'm doing.
Is there anything to do at this cool farm?"
He goes, "I have no idea how to pickle things,
but you should ask her. She would know."
And it was Martha Stewart.
[ Laughter ] Oh, my God!
It was like I summoned you there.
-Yep. [ Applause ]
-You were really helpful.
You went in your car. You got your iPad.
And you got into your recipe from your website and showed me.
-You bought a lot of pickles that day.
-I did, I did. Yeah.
We went to Martha.com, which we should talk about that.
It is your one-stop shopping for anything holiday.
Martha.com.
-Except for Questlove's shoes, those Crocs he's making.
[ Gasps ] They light up.
The little heart lights up. Thank you, Questlove.
-You're welcome. [ Laughter ]
-I got a pair. -Yeah, thank you, Questlove.
[ Laughter ]
-You're welcome. -By the way, 12 1/2, by the way.
Whenever you get around to it. Take your time, buddy.
There's so many things on the website,
and you curate this yourself.
But one of the things I saw that I was like,
"I wanted to hear about this"
has a very interesting backstory.
You have a nativity set. -[ Gasps ] Yes.
-This is a beautiful nativity set. Look.
-Oh, it is. It's gilded.
Isn't that beautiful? -It is gorgeous.
-All the characters are there.
The camels and the three wise men.
Do you know the wise men's names?
You should know that. -George?
[ Laughter ]
-And there are Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus.
-Can you tell the story about how this came to be?
-Well, I was at this very lovely federal camp
down in Alderson, West Virginia. [ Laughter ]
They had a ceramics class.
And really there's a very nice story to this.
[ Laughter ]
And I chose to spend my evenings making ceramics.
-Yes. Can you just plug your ears for one second?
-There wasn't much more to do at this -- Yes.
-Prison. Okay.
[ Laughter and applause ]
So, you were in camp.
[ Laughter ]
-It was really Yale. I was at Yale.
-Yes, of course.
-And you can -- you can think of other ways to say it.
You know, you don't have to say the P word.
-You're very creative. -Anyway, the whole --
I looked through all the --
They had rooms and rooms of beautiful molds.
American molds for ceramics.
I don't know where they got them from.
Oh, actually, it was a girls college before it was a P.
[ Laughter ]
And I found the entire nativity scene, everybody,
including the little donkeys and those --
They're so cute. And the little angels.
-Only you would find this in a P.
-And then I was told -- I collected all the molds.
And there were something like 15 pieces.
And I said, "Well, you know, this is one set."
You're allowed to make three things. Three.
And so I persuaded the warden that 15 pieces was one thing.
[ Laughter ]
You couldn't do one and not do all of them.
-You don't have to say warden. You could say camp counselor.
[ Laughter ]
-Anyway, so now my company thought
it was a great idea to re-create it.
And we have re-created it in white
and now we re-created it in gold.
-I want to show. This is the gold --
This is the gold that you can get off Martha.com.
-That's Joseph. -That's Joseph. It's gorgeous.
And this is -- This is --
-Oh, don't you dare break that. -No, no, no.
-This is the original.
-This is the original one that you made.
-Yes, in drab wear.
Wedgewood drab wear.
And here's the original -- Hello, Joseph.
-Wow. -It's pretty, right?
-Yeah! That's amazing.
-I mean, and look in the bottom.
That's my number.
[ Laughter, cheers, applause ]
-I have to hug you. I have to hug you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
