Lisa Ling was on the Nick Cannon Show today, and the host wanted to get The Scoop on some of the famous newspeople that she has worked with throughout her career.
Cannon started it off by asking about Barbara Walters, and Ling adored the legendary newslady. Then she shared a secret about her. Did you know that Walters collects the free soaps and shampoos that you get at hotels? Knowing the hotels she stayed at, you know they were really expensive. So you can’t blame her for taking them.
Ling then talked about how Oprah Winfrey stares at you intensely as she listens to what you are saying. Something that is rare because most celebrities want to talk about themselves. That is why Lady O is considered one of the best interviewers out there.
Anderson Cooper and Ling used to share an office when they worked at Channel One in their early 20a. After work, he would take her to gay bars with him, meet a guy, and leave her there all by herself. How messed up is that? At least drop her off before you hook up.
Finally, Ling talked about her friend Connie Chung. Chung has a knack for knowing which guys are worth dating and which ones you should dump. So when Chung shook her head no, Ling knew it was time to be single again. We all need a friend like that.
And to think those five are all great journalists, and Cannon is on his way to becoming a great talk show host because he got that all out of his guest.
