Original Text


But one morning, 4:30 in the morning, sitting around the production table with the producers and my cohost, I said, "I'm going to be vulnerable today. I'm going to talk about something that I haven't spoken about before, and it's been eating away at me and I want to do it." And they supported me. We've been on for a long time, we were like brothers.

We said, "You know what? Whatever you want to do, let's go for it." So 8:05 just after the eight o'clock news, the Hollywood hour in radio land, we flicked on the mics, and I told the story that I just told you guys. It was hard. I was getting support from my cohost, I got the words out eventually, a bit like I am today. Emotional stuff, certain things trigger you.
