Our 500th Episode behind the scenes
I was so pleased on Thursday morning when we taped my television
show because we were celebrating the anniversary of our 500th episode!
Our friend, Conan O’Brien appeared and was his usual hilarious self.
He was so much fun. Then, we were honored with a very special surprise
guest – none other than President Clinton! This was President
Clinton’s second appearance on the show and he filled us in with the
wonderful progress that is being made with his Clinton Global
Initiative, an amazing organization that encourages people to give in
various ways to help better the world. You can learn more about it and
find out how you can give at www.mycommittment.org. It’s always so inspiring to be in President Clinton’s company.
Here’s another peek at behind the scenes.

President Clinton Presented me with this beautiful basket made by
Rwandan women who survived the genocide in that nation. It symbolizes
friendship.
