Let's see some behind the scenes
of some of your covers.
Okay.
And you guys can both chime in or just
one take a lead or not.
I mean, stunning.
Well first, how many covers Adam, has it been, two?
Oh, I think we're up to like, how many, two?
219?
219, yeah.
If you ask Oprah, she will tell you the exact number.
She knows exactly, I have lost track.
With the same cover girl, with the same cover girl.
That is a great shot.
Well this is the first time and the only time
we did a black and white cover.
First and only time, black and white.
I have been pushing for black and white for years.
So elegant. I love black and white.
But Gayle loves everything in color.
I do, I love color.
But this was our 15th anniversary issue,
so we really thought it needed to be--
And it's crystals.
Rachael, on your 15th anniversary that's crystal,
so he should be getting you something crystal.
So that's why we have all those Swarovski crystals.
Does she enjoy getting the glam on?
(laughs)
Tell the truth.
Notice how we're both like, "Ughhh."
That's a tough question.
This is what I'll say, she has been saying,
"Let's find someone else for the cover,"
for at least ten years.
We've been, the magazine has been 18 years,
because it was never her intention to be the cover girl--
To be the cover person, right.
Yes, for the whole time.
But the thing is, whenever Oprah's on any other magazine,
it outsells.
Can you think of anybody else who's better
on the cover than Oprah?
No.
But she always says to us ...
(audience applause)
We can't either.
We were literally just talking about this yesterday
with Oprah, when she's like,
"We need life, we need authenticity.
It really needs to feel real."
So does she, I mean, I wish I could just walk into
a photo shoot and they just shoot stuff,
while we're walking around, chatting with each other,
Oh we say that, yeah.
Yeah, we had a shot of her in a hammock once and
she goes, "This is a life I wish I was living,
you know, where I'm in a hammock,
reading a book in the sunshine.
We brought this one Rachael,
because this is a cover she hates.
Oh, yes.
She hates this cover?
Hates this cover.
Why?
She calls it ... what does she call it Adam?
The Martha Washington cover.
(audience laughs)
This is the Martha Washington cover.
At the time we all thought it was lovely.
Yes.
It was the first time actually she ever wore
her hair up for the cover.
And afterwards she's like, "I look like Martha Washington."
(laughs)
And we will never live it down.
It's at least 10 years old, and we still hear it, yes.
I think it's beautiful.
Yeah.
That's one of my favorites.
Oh, this one's amazing.
That's one of my all time favorites.
Is it? Yeah, ours too because women love to talk
about their hair.
Whether you're black, white, yellow, purple, green,
everybody got hair issues.
So this was a wig--
And we always want the hair we don't have.
That's so true.
It's so true.
By the way guys, Adam does all the covers.
He's the creative director behind all the covers.
All the looks, it's Adam Glassman.
So, this one you had this wig done.
We had this done by Kim Kimble, who does amazing wigs.
I want one of those, right?
Three and a half pounds.
Three and a half pounds?
Yes, it's like wearing a Chihuahua on your head,
because I know you have a Chihuahua.
She actually loved this though.
It was amazing.
It's amazing. Did you try that on too?
We all tried it on.
We all did.
Yes, I knew it!
I knew it!
How did you know that?
Because I would.
Yeah.
We all did.
How could you not?
Because it's so fun, how could you not?
Yes, we all did.
Such a goofy thing.
I don't even want to know the person
that wouldn't try that on, right?
No, we all did, we all did.
Do you each have a favorite?
I do. I have one--
Out of over two hundred and something?
I have one, it's maybe that one, that one.
Oh yeah, this one.
That looks so real.
This is so good you guys got this.
This one is over like 13 years old, yeah.
Yep, but it's the last shot of the day, guys.
And the photographer said ... you had to convince her
'cause she said, "I ain't taking no more pictures,"
and Adam said, "Just do one, he just wants to
try natural light, so its natural light."
And Adam even said--
Just come over here, it's gonna be 10 minutes.
Just lean up against the window.
Just lean there, that's it, you're in your dress.
That looks like the person you know.
I love it, yes.
It's perfect.
Last year's Christmas was amazing.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The big sled thing and all that, crazy.
That was in Alaska.
I know.
That was a goody though.
I was stuck on a Glacier for three days, literally.
Adam was stuck on a Glacier for three days.
I went for three hours, I thought.
The snow came in, we got stuck, we couldn't get off--
Three days.
Yes, it was like Gilligan's Island.
I know, she told me the whole thing
during our Christmas thing.
Yes.
Alright, so I love this one too because
you get two for one here.
First of all, I read A Wrinkle In Time, I don't know,
maybe it was in fourth grade.
It was the first book I remember staying up
all night long with a flashlight under the blanket
'cause I couldn't put it down I loved it so much.
I can not believe that all these years
later, I'm 49 years old, I can finally watch it as a film.
It's so good.
I'm so excited.
Well not only that, Rachael.
And it's a double cover, guys.
A double cover.
Yeah, you have A Wrinkle In Time on the back
and then you got the ladies on the front.
Yeah, Mrs. What, so that's Reese, Mrs. What,
Mrs. Who, Oprah is Mrs. Which, W-H-I-C-H.
But I'm so glad to hear you like it so much
because we're working on a New York screening.
Don't you think we you should invite Rachael to that?
Oh I think Rachael will be coming.
I would be there with bells on.
And I'll be crying just to stand on the line, really.
(audience applause)
I've been waiting for this for forty years (laughs).
So don't act like you don't know us
when that invitation comes, Rachael Ray.
I will be there.
I will be there, my friend.
(audience applause)
