HELLO, HELLO. WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO
"THE TALK." ALL RIGHT.
IT IS A REMARKABLE DAY, A HISTORIC DAY.
LET'S START WITH THE POIGNANT POMP AND PAGE NOT ARE YOU IN
LONDON TODAY FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH II'S FUNERAL.
THE DAY BEGAN WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY FOLLOWING BEHIND THE
QUEEN'S COFFIN AS IT WAS BEING TRANSPORTED TO WESTMINSTER
ABBEY, WHERE HEADS OF STATE AND DIGNITARIES FROM AROUND THE
WORLD WERE IN ATTENDANCE. THE EVENT ENDED WITH TWO
MINUTES OF SILENCE ACROSS THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND FROM THERE
THE FUNERAL PROCESSION WOUND ITS WAY THROUGH THE STREETS OF
LONDON, WHERE PACKED CROWDS ALL ALONG THE ROUTE LINED UP TO PAY
THEIR RESPECTS. ULTIMATELY THE QUEEN'S COFFIN
WAS BROUGHT TO ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL AT WINDSOR CASTLE, WHICH
IS ALSO THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF HER LATE HUSBAND, PRINCE
PHILIP. JOINING US NOW LIVE FROM LONDON
WITH MORE ON TODAY'S HISTORIC EVENTS, "CBS EVENING NEWS"
ANCHOR AND MANAGING EDITOR, NORAH O'DONNELL.
WELCOME, NORAH. BEEN A LONG DAY.
[APPLAUSE] SHIP YOU'VE BEEN COVERING THIS
HISTORIC EVENT ALL DAY LONG, AND I HEARD THE QUEEN HAS BEEN
PLANNING HER FUNERAL FOR YEARS. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS YOU WITNESSED?
NORAH: OH, SHERYL, IT WAS STUNNING.
IT WAS SPELL-BINDING, IT WAS SPECTACULAR IN EVERY WAY.
THE FUNERAL, THE PROCESSION, SEEING EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, THEY ARE CALLING THIS THE BIGGEST GLOBAL TELEVISION
EVENT. BILLIONS TUNING IN TO WATCH THIS
FINAL FAREWELL TO THE LONGEST REIGNING MONARCH IN BRITISH
HISTORY. I THINK SOME OF THE MOMENTS THAT
GOT TO ME WERE WATCHING KING CHARLES GET EMOTIONAL, NOT ONLY
WHEN THEY SANG "GOD SAVE THE KING," BUT ALSO WHEN THEY
BROUGHT HIS MOTHER'S COFFIN IN TO ST. GEORGE'S CASTLE IN
WINDSOR CASTLE. ANOTHER EMOTIONAL MOMENT, OF
COURSE, JUST SEEING THE FAMILY WALKING IN, SEEING PRESIDENT
BIDEN APPEAR, AND ALL OF THESE WORLD LEADERS, I HAVE TO JUST
TELL YOU, SHERYL, IT'S NOT LIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN.
THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY MAGICAL IS THE WORD, BECAUSE TO HAVE
THAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL THE QUEEN WAS SOMEONE THAT THEY KNEW, SO
BELOVED, THAT THEY HAD TO BE HERE TO WITNESS IT, TO WATCH IT,
IT JUST IS AN EXTRAORDINARY DAY. SHERYL: ABSOLUTELY.
[APPLAUSE] AMANDA: A LOT OF ATTENTION HAS
BEEN PAID TO THE FACT THAT YOUNG PRINCE GEORGE AND PRINCESS
CHARLOTTE ATTENDED THE QUEEN'S FUNERAL TODAY.
HOW NOTABLE WAS THAT? NORAH: YEAH, I MEAN, WE WERE
TOLD THAT THIS DECISION WAS MADE JUST YESTERDAY, THAT THE QUEEN'S
GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN WOULD ATTEND.
AND REMEMBER, PRINCE GEORGE IS JUST 9 YEARS OLD.
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, 7 YEARS OLD. AND I KNOW THOSE OF US THAT HAVE
KIDS KNOW IT'S HARD TO KEEP YOUNG KIDS BEHAVED DURING AN
HOUR-LONG PROCESSION, BUT BY ALL ACCOUNTS THEY DID JUST
BEAUTIFULLY. AND AT ONE POINT WE SAW PRINCESS
CHARLOTTE, WHO'S 7, TALKING TO HER BROTHER, KIND OF WAGGING A
FINGER AT HIM AND TELLING HIM TO BOW AT ONE POINT.
SO SHE KEEPS HER OLDER BROTHER IN LINE.
BUT MORE SERIOUSLY, THIS DECISION TO INCLUDE THEM WAS
BECAUSE PRINCE GEORGE IS SECOND IN LINE TO THE THRONE.
THEY REALLY WANT TO CREATE THIS IDEA THAT THE MONARCHY DOES NOT
END, THAT THERE IS THIS LINE OF SUCCESSION, AND, OF COURSE, IT'S
A HISTORIC MOMENT THEY DIDN'T WANT THE CHILDREN TO MISS.
BUT THE YOUNGEST, PRINCE LOUIS, 4, WAS TOO YOUNG TO BRING, BUT
OTHERWISE THEY HAD A LOT OF MOMENTS WHERE THEY CAPTURED THE
PEOPLE'S HEARTS. JERRY: WE KNOW THAT THE WRIGHT
THAT WAS PLACED ON TOP OF THE COFFIN HAD SOME SPECIAL
SIGNIFICANCE, INCLUDING A PERSONAL NOTE FROM KING CHARLES
HIMSELF. NORAH: YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.
SO THOSE FLOWERS, WHICH WERE DESCRIBED TO ME BY ONE ROYAL
EXPERT AS BEING KIND OF WILD, THERE YOU SEE A LITTLE SPIDER,
WHICH WAS ACTUALLY ON THE CARD THERE, KINGS AND QUEENS GET
INVITED, WELL, THERE WAS ALSO AN EIGHT-LEGGED GUEST, THAT SPIDER.
SO THAT KIND OF BLEW UP THE INTERNET TODAY, SORT OF FUN.
BUT THAT CARD ACTUALLY WAS A HANDWRITTEN NOTE, AND IT IS
SIGNED CHARLES R, FOR REX, AND IT SAID IN LOVING AND DEVOTED
MEMORY. THAT'S HIS HANDWRITING RIGHT
THERE. SO THINK ABOUT THAT, TO PUT THAT
CARD ON TOP OF THE FLOWERS. THE FLOWERS ARE FROM THE GARDENS
OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE, CLARENCE HOUSE, JUST EXTRAORDINARY, THE
PERSONAL TOUCHES THAT WE SAW TODAY WITH THAT WRIGHT THERE.
BECAUSE NORMALLY IT'S ABOUT WHITE FLOWERS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THOSE WERE QUITE COLORFUL.
NATALIE: BEAUTIFUL. AS WE TALKED ABOUT, WE SAW THOSE
IMMENSE CROWDS ALL ALONG THE ROUTE OF THE FUNERAL PROCESSION
TODAY, THROUGH CENTRAL LONDON, AND FOR MORE THAN 20 MILES ALL
THE WAY TO WINDSOR CASTLE. I KNOW YOU AND I, WE'VE BEEN TO
THE U.K. MANY TIMES, COVERED THE ROYALS.
WHEN YOU'RE THERE, PEOPLE DO HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THE
MONARCHY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE KIND OF
MONARCH THAT QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS, WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU
ABOUT HER LEGACY AND HER ABILITY TO UNITE EVEN IN THIS MOMENT OF
GRIEF AND SORROW? NORAH: YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY
GOOD POINT, NATALIE. I MEAN, YOU CAN'T BE A STUDENT
OF HISTORY WITHOUT KNOWING OF THE COLONIAL HISTORY OF THE
BRITISH EMPIRE. BUT TODAY WAS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT
THE MONARCHY AS IT WAS ABOUT THE MATRIARCH, RIGHT?
QUEEN ELIZABETH II HAS REIGNED LONGER THAN ANY OTHER KING OR
QUEEN. THINK ABOUT THE ARC OF HISTORY,
FROM WORLD WAR II, THE BEATLES, THE INTERNET AGE, BEING THIS
STEADFAST PRESENCE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.
A LOT OF THE WOMEN AND GIRLS SAID SHE WAS LIKE A GRANDMOTHER
TO THEM, THAT WARMTH. A LOT OF THE OLDER WOMEN TALKED
ABOUT HER STRENGTH AND STOICISM, NOT ONLY BEING THE COMMANDER IN
CHIEF OF THE BRITISH MILITARY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE
MOTHER, REALLY, THE MATRIARCH OF THIS FAMILY, BUT THINK ABOUT
WHAT'S HAPPENED IN HER OWN FAMILY.
MANY PEOPLE FELT LIKE SHE WAS RELATABLE BECAUSE OF THE DEATHS,
BECAUSE OF THE DIVORCES AMONGST HER OWN CHILDREN, ALL OF THAT
FAMILY DRAMA, BUT SHE WAS STILL SUCH A STEADFAST LEADER, LOVING
TO ALL HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER.
I MUST TELL I, BECAUSE THIS IS WESTMINSTER ABBEY, THIS HAS BEEN
AROUND FOR ALMOST 1,000 YEARS BEHIND US, EVERY KING OR QUEEN
HAS HAD A CORONATION HERE SINCE WILLIAM THE CON CONFERRERRER,
HOW ABOUT THAT? TO BE HERE AND SEE 500 HEADS OF
STATE APPEAR, ACTUALLY IN BUSES, REALLY, THEY HAD TO BUS THEM IN
BECAUSE OF SECURITY. I MEAN, EMPERORS.
THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN, THE KING AND QUEEN OF SPAIN, AS WELL AS
OTHER COUNTRIES, JORDAN, ALL OVER, PRIME MINISTERS, YOU KNOW,
AS YOU POINTED OUT, I'VE BEEN TO MANY EVENTS AROUND THE GLOBE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A GATHERING LIKE THIS.
IT SAYS SOMETHING, I'M STILL TRYING TO PUT MY FINGER ON IT,
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WOMAN, THIS WOMAN WHO CAPTIVATED THE WORLD
AND OUR HEARTS AND THAT WE REVERE AND RESPECT, SOMETHING
ABOUT IT THAT'S VERY POWERFUL. AKBAR: YOU MENTIONED THE
MATRIARCH. FOR 70 YEARS SHE WAS A SYMBOL OF
THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR KING
CHARLES III? CAN HE BE THAT SAME SYMBOL FOR
THE BRITS? NORAH: AKBAR, THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. YOU KNOW, DOES HER POPULARITY
TRANSFER TO KING CHARLES III? WE DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, HE IS WILDLY POPULAR RIGHT NOW.
IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HIM GET SO EMOTIONAL TODAY.
THERE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN THREE SERVICES, NOT JUST HERE AT
WESTMINSTER, BUT AT ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL IN WINDSOR CASTLE, AND
THEN A PRIVATE CEREMONY WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO ENTER THE QUEEN
WITH HER HUSBAND. BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT REALLY
STRUCK PEOPLE TODAY. IT WAS A HOLE DAY HERE IN
ENGLAND, SO MANY PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO COME OUT AND SEE IT, BUT
IT'S EMOTIONAL FOR PEOPLE. IT IS A NEW ERA.
KING CHARLES WILL HAVE TO PUT HIS STAMP ON THE MONARCHY.
WHAT WILL IT BE? I'VE LEARNED PRINCE CHARLES IS
QUITE THE ENVIRONMENTALIST, CAMPAIGNING AGAINST CLIMATE
CHANGE AND OTHER THINGS. HE WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTINUE A
LOT OF THOSE CHARITIES, BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
HE PUTS HIS STAMP ON THIS. ONE THING THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
DOING, OPENING BALANCE MORAL CASTLE, SO YOU CAN GO AND VISIT.
I'D LIKE TO GO UP TO SCOTLAND AND SEE THAT CASTLE, EVEN
OPENING UP BUCKINGHAM PALACE TO PEOPLE, MAKING IT MORE THE
PEOPLE'S HOUSE. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE
TALING ABOUT HERE. LET'S SEE, BUT THAT'S ONE WAY TO
OPEN THE DOORS OF THE MONARCHY, IF YOU WILL.
NATALIE: YOU AND GAYLE WERE TERRIFIC WITH YOUR COVERAGE.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY FOR YOU, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
STICKING AROUND. WE APPRECIATE IT.
NORAH: NATALIE, IF YOU MISSED ANYTHING, YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE
EVENING NEWS TONIGHT. WE'LL HAVE A FULL WRAPUP.
NATALIE: STILL HAVE TO STAY UP FOR THAT, TOO.
FOR MORE COVERAGE, BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO THE "CBS EVENING
NEWS" TONIGHT AT 6:30 EASTERN, AND WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
NATALIE: WELCOME BACK TO "THE
TALK." WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS VIRAL
VIDEO, A TIKTOK POST ABOUT OPRAH WINFREY.
SHE'S ALL ABOUT BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM AND BUILDING HER
TEAM AND HER STAFF, BUT ONE OF HER EXECUTIVES THINKS SHE WENT A
LITTLE BIT TOO FAR WITH ONE EVENT.
FIND OUT WHY JOSEPH ZAMBRANO SAYS HE'S NEVER GOING ON A HIKE
WITH OPRAH AGAIN. NOW EVEN GAYLE KING, HER BESTIE,
GOT STRESSED IN ALL OF THIS. >> I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BE
HONEST WHEN THEY SAY LET'S GO ON A HIKE.
SHE SAID IT'S 5, 10 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN FIVE TO SEVEN MILES.
>> IT WAS A 50-MINUTE HIKE. AUTOPSY BUT YOU SAID FIVE TO
SEVEN MINUTES. >> IT WAS FIVE TO SEVEN MINUTES
UP THE HILL. >> YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.
>> WHAT -- >> FIVE TO SEVEN MINUTES.
>> YOU SAID FIVE TO SEVEN MINUTES.
>> YOU CATFISHES US. >> NO, I SAID IT'S ABOUT 1.3
MILES. >> DO I LOOK FRESH?
>> YOU LOOK FRESH. YOU LOOK MENOPAUSAL, AND THESE
ARE NOT HOT FLASHES. NATALIE: THAT TELLS YOU
EVERYTHING, THE BACK OF HER DRESS.
>> I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, I HAVE TO SAY,.
SIMON: GUILTY OF DOING THIS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
NO, NO, NO, LET'S JUST DO A 10-MINUTE WORKOUT, AND THEN AN
HOUR GOES BY. NATALIE: I KNOW YOU DO THAT IN
THE PARKING LOT WITH AKBAR. AMANDA: YES, IN THE PARKING LOT
WITH AKBAR. WHAT'S THE SAYING?
YOU NEVER REGRET WORKING OUT, BUT YOU REGRET NOT GOING, RIGHT
CENTER YOU NEVER HATE THE FACT THAT YOU DID IT, BUT YOU MIGHT
HATE YOURSELF IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT.
I'M ALL WITH OPRAH. SHERYL: I LOVE THAT I'M LEARNING
THIS ABOUT YOU, BECAUSE I SAID ONE OF MY GOALS -- YOU WOULD
ACTUALLY LIE TO ME AND TELL ME IT'S ONLY 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND
IT'S AN HOUR? AMANDA: NO, NOT NECESSARILY.
IT'S NOT A LIE. IT'S NOT A LIE.
IT'S A SEE HOW WELL YOU DO, AND IF YOU'RE DOING FINE, WE KEEP
GOING. SHERYL: I'M FIGHTING FALLING ON
THE GROUND. AMANDA: THEY WEREN'T FALLING ON
THE GROUND F. YOU'RE FALLING ON THE GROUND, I WILL COME AND GET
YOU AND RESCUE YOU. BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FALLING ON THE
GROUND, WE KEEP GOING. AKBAR: I WILL SAY THIS, THOUGH.
I WILL SAY THIS. YOU CAN TELL GAYLE AND AVA
DUVERNAY WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD, BECAUSE THEY WERE WEARING
BEAUTIFUL DRESSES. THEY WERE LIKE, OH, 5 TO 7
MINUTES, AND NOW THEY'RE DRENCHED.
MY WIFE DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME.
HEY, LET'S GO OUT FOR PILATES, IT'S REALLY EASY, WE CAN BOND.
I'M THINKING, PILATES, BIG DEAL. MAN, THAT THING HAD ME CRAMPING
UP IN MY ABS. I COULDN'T DO IT.
AND YOU KNOW A WORKOUT IS HARD WHEN YOU DO THE SHIVER.
ACTIVATE YOUR CORE, NO, THIS IS HARD!
SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK TO PILATES.
SHERYL: YOU CAN DO IT. AKBAR: I'LL BENCH PRESS, SQUAT,
BUT I DON'T DON'T FOOL WITH PILATESFUL THAT THING KICKED MY
BUTT. NATALIE: THAT IS SHOCKING COMING
FROM A NFL PRO ATHLETE. CAN HANDLE A LITTLE PILATES,
AKBAR. AKBAR: IT'S NOT THE PILATES,
IT'S THE REFORMER. NATALIE: TRYING TO REFORM AND
YOU YOUR ABS. COMING UP NEXT -- TOM BRADY,
SPEAKING OF THE NFL, DID YOU SEE HIS TABLET TANTRUM?
WE'LL SHOW AND YOU GET YOU DETAILS WHEN WE COME RIGHT BACK.
NATALIE: NO, YOU DON'T BECOME
THE GREATEST QUARTERBACK OF ALL TIME WITH HAVING A FIERCE
COMPETITIVE STREAK. WELL, TOM BRADY'S INTENSITY WAS
ON DISPLAY YESTERDAY. DID YOU SEE THIS?
HE WAS CAUGHT ON THE SIDELINE, LOOK WHAT HE DID THERE.
THIS WAS AT THE BUCCANEERS-SAINTS GAME, SPIKES
THE TABLET INSTEAD OF A FOOTBALL.
AT THE TIME, THE BUCS WERE THIRD QUARTER, BUT TOM AND THE
TEAM WENT ON TO WIN, AND THEY GOT -- IT WAS 20-10, THE FINAL
SCORE. AFTER THE GAME, TOM DID
APOLOGIZE ON TWITTER. TAKE A LOOK.
>> GREAT WIN, GET TO 2-0. THE UGLY ONES, SORRY FOR
BREAKING THAT TABLET. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE
ANOTHER TWITTER MEME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NATALIE: OH, IT'S OK, TOM. IT'S JUST TOM BRADY, TAKING IT
OUT. HOW DO YOU CHANNEL YOUR
FRUSTRATION? JERRY: I MEAN, WE ALL TOTALLY
GET THIS. YOU CAN IMAGINE -- I MEAN, WE
SHOULD ASK AKBAR -- BUT YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HIGHWAY
EMOTIONS ARE AT A NFL GAME. I MEAN, I HAVE TWO 13-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTERS, AND I FEEL LIKE THROWING EVERYTHING ABOUT 15
TIMES A DAY. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MORNING, THIS
MORNING I WAS LATE COMING HERE. I HAD TO DROP BOTH OF MY
CHILDREN OFF AT THE BUS STOP. AND ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS WAS IN
THE CAR, GREAT GIRL. I WON'T SAY HER NAME, BUT HER
INITIALS ARE DOLLY. [LAUGHTER]
THEN MY OTHER DAUGHTER WAS NOT IN THE CAR, AND I WAS LIKE,
WHAT'S GOING ON? SHE'S GOT TO BE FINISHING UP
HOMEWORK, DOING SOMETHING, SOMETHING VITAL, YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING VIRAL, MAYBE AN EMERGENCY BATHROOM VISIT.
SHE WAS IN THE MIRROR WITH ONE OF THOSE ICE ROLLERS.
JUST LIKE -- YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
NATALIE: THAT'S IMPORTANT, JERRY.
JERRY: AND WHAT I WANT TO DO WAS GRAB THE ICE ROLLER AND THROW IT
AS FAR AS I COULD AND SAY GET IN THE CAR NOW!
GET IN THE CAR! BUT I'M TRYING TO BE A BETTER
FATHER AND NOT LOSE MY COOL, I REALLY AM.
SO I SIMPLY JUST -- I OPENED THE DOOR, AND I GOT IN FRONT OF HER,
AND I SWEAR TO YOU, I DID THIS, I WENT, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,
I'M BEGGING, I'M BEGGING YOU, GET IN THE CAR, PLEASE PUT THAT
DOWN. AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD LAUGH
ABOUT THAT. THEY WERE LIKE, DAD WAS BEGGING
ABOUT THAT. AKBAR: IT'S INTERESTING, BECAUSE
YOU SAID EMOTIONS ARE HIGH DURING A NFL GAME, AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE, HIGHLY COMPETITIVE. FOR TOM BRADY, EXPECTATIONS ARE
HIGH. SO WHEN YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS
FOR 20-PLUS YEARS, YOU'RE THINKING I KNOW THE THROWS TO
MAKE. THIS, TO ME, I'M GOING TO SAY IT
HERE FIRST, BREAKING NEWS, THIS WAS THE FIRST SIGN OF TOM BRADY
REALIZING HE'S 45 YEARS OLD AND AGE IS CATCHING UP TO HIM.
NATALIE: DON'T SAY THAT. AKBAR: BECAUSE WHAT YOU DO ON
THAT TABLET, YOU GO BACK AND LOOK.
HE'S LIKE, I SHOULD HAVE THEY'D MA THROW.
I JUST THROWS IT BECAUSE HE'S UPSET.
SHERYL: MAYBE HE'S NOT UPSET JUST ABOUT HIMSELF, BUT MAYBE
HIS OFFENSIVE LINE AS WELL. BECAUSE HE IS 45 AND GETTING
BEAT UP. AKBAR: YEAH, THAT IS TRUE.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET MY BLIND SIDE, BUT YOU DIDN'T.
THAT HURTS EVEN MORE. NATALIE: WE'VE ALL SEEN THE
HEADLANDS, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON BEHIND
THE SCENES. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING
MORE. BECAUSE WE HAVE SOMETHING
SPECIAL BEFORE WE GO TO BREAK THAT IS GOING TO CLEAN AND
REFRESH YOUR CARPETS AND FLOORS. IT IS TIME FOR TODAY'S MUST HAVE
GIVEAWAY. AMANDA: THIS INNOVA NEU700
UPRIGHT VACUUM IS OFFERING A BIG WHEEL, SWIVEL STEERING,
WHIRLWIND ANTI-TANGLE BRUSH ROLL, AND A COMPLETE HEPA
FILTRATION, AND MORE. GUESS WHAT, EVERYBODY IN TODAY'S
STUDIO AUDIENCE, YOU'RE GOING HOME WITH A NEW VACUUM.
THIS AMAZING GIVEAWAY RETAILS FOR JUST UNDER $270.
NATALIE: THAT IS A GOOD ONE. WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'RE GOING

STAR ON THE WALK OF FAME, HE'LL GIVE YOU A RING SO YOU DON'T
HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE AND GET GUM OFF OF IT ALL THE TIME.
AKBAR: THAT'S GOOD. CEDRIC: SHERYL, YOU LOOK

THANK YOU. CEDRIC: I'M LIKE THE LAST FAT
DUDE. [LAUGHTER]
I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. ANGLE RIGHT.
GOT TO LEARN. JERRY: YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN
AROUND A LITTLE BIT, THAT SHOT RIGHT THERE.
CEDRIC: A CERTAIN WAY. NATALIE: IT'S ANGLES.
CEDRIC: ALL RIGHT. YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
AMANDA: CEDRIC, YOU GOT TWO KIDS IN COLLEGE NOW.
NOW, I KNOW. OH, LOOK AT THIS.
ALL RIGHT, SO SENSE THEY WENT TO SCHOOL, HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY
WEIRD PHONE CALLS, DAD, COME SAVE US.
CEDRIC: MAN, MY DAUGHTER WENT TO SCHOOL AT L.M.U., AND I'M
THINKING, SHE WAS SUCH A SWEET KID ALL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
AND NOW I MEAN, WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, SHE'S OUT TILL 3:00 A.M.
JUST COLLEGE STUDENT. I JUST WANT GET AN EMOTIONAL PET
DOG FOR ME. @WHERE IS SHE RIGHT NOW, YOU
KNOW? THEY'RE OUT UBERRING, YOU KNOW?
I WASN'T READY. I WASN'T READY FOR HER TO JUST
GROW UP OUT OF NOWHERE, YOU KNOW?
MY LITTLE GIRL, MAN. YEAH.
SHERYL: YEAH. HERE'S SOMEBODY.
YOU ARE AN ORDAINED MINISTER, AND YOU MARRIED OUR FRIEND,
RUSSELL PETERS. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, AND WHO
ELSE HAVE YOU MARRIED? CEDRIC: WELL, THAT ACTUALLY, I
GOT ORDAINED ON THE WAY TO THE WEDDING.
[LAUGHTER] SHERYL: I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU
WHAT DENOMINATION. CEDRIC: YEAH, YEAH, I THINK IT
WAS HILTON WIFI. THAT'S THE DENOMINATION.
LIKE NO, BUT YOU CAN'T GET ORDAINED LIKE ONLINE.
AND RUSSELL'S WIFE, WE WERE TALKING ONE NIGHT, AND SHE WAS
LIKE, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT YOU TO DO IT.
I WANT IT TO BE FUN, AND WE LAUGHED.
WE WAS LIKE, THAT'S CRAZY. AND SHE WAS JUST LOOKING, NO,
I'M SERIOUS, YOU DO IT. AND I WAS LIKE, OK.
AND I WAS GOING TO DO THE LONG, BLACK PREACHER THING.
LOOK AT Y'ALL. LOOK AT GOD.
SHERYL: YOU DIDN'T WEAR THE ROBE?
CEDRIC: I DIDN'T WEAR THE ROBE, BUT I DID TRY TO RAISE A
COLLECTION, THOUGH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
[LAUGHTER] CEDRIC: DON'T COST YOU NOTHING
TO GET IN. IT COST YOU A LOT OF MONEY TO
LEAVE, THOUGH. BY WWW.GETORDAINED.ORG, I NOW
PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND WIFE. WE ALL KNOW YOU AS
MR. ENTERTAINER. WE KNOW YOU AS CEDRIC THE
ENTERTAINER. BUT WE HEARD THAT YOU AND YOUR
VERY OLD FRIEND, ANOTHER KING OF COMEDY, STEVE HARVEY, RECENTLY
JUST GOT NEW NICKNAMES. CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN US?
CEDRIC: YES, WE WERE HANGING OUT IN THE BAHAMAS LAST WEEK, AND
SOMEBODY JUST WALKED UP AND GO, YOU'RE THE GOOD KING AND HE'S
THE EVIL KING. AND WE DIED.
BECAUSE STEVE IS ACTUALLY A NICE GUY, BUT HE'S LIKE, I'M MORE
FRIENDLY. I'LL WALK OVER TO A CROWD OF
PEOPLE, HEY, HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING?
HE LIKE, HEY, LADY. SHERYL: GOOD KING CEDRIC.
SHIP WE LOVED IT. WE LAUGHED SO HARD.
IT WAS SO PERSONAL. ALL THROUGH THE YEARS OF BEING
ON THE STEVE HARVEY SHOW, THEN DOING THE KINDLE OF COMEDY, WE
WOULD ALWAYS DO THAT. STEVE WOULD BE GO TO THE CROWD,
AND I SAY, HEY, EVERYBODY, THERE GOES STEVE RIGHT THERE.
THERE'S STEVE. SHERYL: HE GET MAD AT YOU, TOO.
CEDRIC: HE'S MAD. MAN, COME ON.
NATALIE: COMING UP NEXT, CEDRIC IS GOING TO GIVE US A SNEAK PEEK
OF THE SEASON FIVE PREMIERE OF "THE NEIGHBORHOOD" AND MUCH
MORE. DON'T GO AWAY OF.
>> I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
ANYMORE. THESE SCOOTERS IN MY DAMN YARD,
AND THEN THOSE UGLY SOLAR PANELS YOU GOT ON YOUR ROOF.
DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE GUY THAT BOUGHT REGGIE'S HOUSE
ACROSS THE STREET. HE PUT IN ASTROTURF.
IT'S ALWAYS EVEN AND GREEN, BUT HE'S CHEATING.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND WELCOME HIM TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE FOOL TALKED TO ME THROUGH HIS DOORBELL.
LIKE I WAS IN THE DRIVE-THRU. I'M CALVIN BUTLER.
I GET INVITED INSIDE. NATALIE: THAT WAS A SCENE FROM
TONIGHT'S SEASON PREMIERE OF "THE NEIGHBORHOOD."
WE'RE BACK WITH STAR AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, CEDRIC THE
ENTERTAINER. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER,
BECAUSE "THE NEIGHBORHOOD" WENT INTO SYNDICATION.
THAT MUST FEEL GOOD. CEDRIC: IN THE WORLD OF
TELEVISION, YOU DON'T GET THAT VERY OFTEN.
AND SO LATELY, THIS HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITING TO GET THE NEWS
THAT WE'RE BEING, WE GOING TO COME ON EVERY DAY SOMEWHERE, IN
PADUCAH, KENTUCKY, LIKE YOU KNOW, WATCH US RIGHT AFTER THE
NEWS, I LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? AMANDA: THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
AFTER THE NEWS. CEDRIC: THAT'S GREAT.
IT'S EXCITING. AKBAR: I THINK PEOPLE LOVE THE
SHOW. I KNOW I LOVE THE SHOW.
BUT THE RELATIONSHIP THAT, YOU KNOW, CALVIN AND MAX HAS, THAT
YOU GUYS HAVE DEVELOPED, PLAYED BY DAVE, YOU GUYS HAVE SOME
RELATIONSHIP. WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAX THAT, YOU
KNOW, THAT YOU GUYS HAVE LEARNED ON SET ABOUT HIM?
CEDRIC: I MEAN, MAX IS VERY -- HIS CHARACTER IS QUIRKY AND
DIFFERENT, SO WHENEVER HE KIND OF THINKS UP JOKES FOR HIM, IT'S
LONG FORM. HE HAS TO TAKE HIS TIME TO
REALLY TELL YOU WHAT HE'S THINKING.
SO NORMALLY WHENEVER MAX GOES, YOU KNOW WHAT, CED, I'M THINKING
SOMETHING. HEY, GUYS, TAKE A BREAK.
[LAUGHTER] CAMERAS, EVERYBODY, GO GET A
SNACK. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE FAST.
HE'S GOT TO WORK IT OUT. AKBAR: DO JOKES WORK IF YOU HAVE
TO EXPLAIN IT? I ALWAYS TELL, IF YOU HAVE TO
EXPLAIN YOUR JOKE, THEN IT DOESN'T WORK.
DOES IT WORK? CEDRIC: WELL, IT WORKS, IT'S
JUST HIS WAY. HE GOT TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT,
SHOW IT TO YOU. IT'S NO REASON TO HAVE THEM
SITTING THERE FOR THIS. YOU'RE LIKE, I'M GOING TO GET
UP, COME OVER HERE, OH, OK, THAT'S FUNNY.
20 MINUTES TO T TO GET THERE, BT THANKS, MAN.
JERRY: WELL, TONIGHT DAVE CAUSES QUITE A DISRUPTION IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. TELL US ABOUT IT.
CEDRIC: YEAH, SO I ALLUDED TO IT, HE'S GOT SOLAR PANELS ON HIS
HOUSE. WHEN THE GUY TRIED TO CONNECT OR
DISCONNECT IT FROM THE GRID, BLACKS OUT THE WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD. AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH
LIGHTS AND POWER. NATALIE: I THINK WEE ALL BEEN
THERE WHERE THERE'S BEEN A BLACKOUT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
TO DO, YOUR DEVICES, CAN'T EVEN CHARGE THEM.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH LIFE? YOU ARE ABOUT TO SAVE US.
YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPERT ADVICE IN A BIT WE'RE CALLING CEDRIC THE
ENTERTAINER'S TOP FIVE THINGS TO DO IN A BLACKOUT.
WHAT DO WE DO, CEDRIC? HELP US.
CEDRIC: LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT. ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, WE GOT TO
GET SNACKS. FIRST THING, SHERYL IS ALWAYS
KNOWN FOR THE GREAT SNACKS. NATALIE: SHE'S GOT SNACKS
ALREADY. CEDRIC: KINDLES ARE IMPORTANT
FOR A BLACKOUT. NATALIE: LOOK WHAT I HAVE RIGHT
HERE. CEDRIC: GOT TO HAVE THAT.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ALL HERE, INDIVIDUALLY.
DO A BATH. YEAH, GET YOUR BATH WATER READY.
AND PUT THE BATHTUB OUT ON THE FRONT PORCH.
NATALIE: ON THE FRONT PORCH? CEDRIC: YEAH, AFTER THE SNACK.
AND THEN, YEAH, THEY GOT A DOUGHNUT, EVERYBODY ACT LIKE
THEY DIDN'T WANT IT. SHERYL: AKBAR LIKES SWEETS.
NATALIE: NO, I'M GOOD. WHAT ABOUT FOR OUR AUDIENCE?
CEDRIC: THEN WE GOT TO PEOPLE WATCH.
THIS IS WHAT DO YOU IN A BLACKOUT.
LOOK AT THEM WITH LITTLE SHIRT ON, I SEE YOU.
SHE LIKE, YEAH, YOU LOVE WHAT YOU SEE.
MY MAN GOT THE MASK ON, YOU KNOW, THEY TOLD HIM TO WEAR THE
MASK, BUT HE JUST, REALLY, HE'S LIKE A BANDIT.
I DON'T KNOW, WHERE'S HE VISITING FROM?
WHERE DO WE THINK? HE'S LOOKING REALLY COOL, GOT
THE COOL HAIR. YOU KNOW THAT'S GEL OR MOUSSE?
AKBAR: THIS ONE LOOK LIKE HE GOT A CELL PHONE ABOUT TO CALL
SOMEBODY. CEDRIC: OH, MY MAN IS DOWN
THERE, LIKE DR. FAUCI. [LAUGHTER]
SHERYL: WE GOT DR. FAUCI. CEDRIC: DR. FAUCI, YOU KNOW.
THAT'S ALL YOU DO, MAN. YOU JUST SIT AROUND.
NATALIE: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SIT IN THE FRONT ROW.
IT'S FAIR GAME, PEOPLE. YOU'RE FAIR GAME.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO AROUND HERE. YOU'RE AWESOME.
IT WAS FUN TALKING WITH YOU. SEASON FIVE OF "THE
NEIGHBORHOOD" PREMIERES TONIGHT AT 8:00 RIGHT HERE ON CBS AND
WILL BE AVAILABLE STREAMING ON PARAMOUNT+, AND YOU CAN SEE
CEDRIC PERFORM LIVE ON OCTOBER 1 AT IN INDIO, CALIFORNIA, IF
YOU'RE IN THE AREA. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NATALIE: WELCOME BACK TO "THE TALK."
WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN OUR STUDIO WITH OUR AUDIENCE.
WE ARE MISSING, THOUGH, A HUGE PIECE OF OUR HEARTS TODAY.
WE TOLD YOU LAST WEEK ABOUT HOW WE RECENTLY LOST OUR EXECUTIVE
PRODUCER, HEATHER GRAY, WHO WAS A BELOVED MEMBER OF OUR "TALK"
FAMILY. WE CAN FEEL HER PRESENCE, AND WE
WANT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THIS AMAZING WOMAN.
LET'S START WITH SHERYL. YOU'VE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST AND
KNEW HER WELL. SHERYL: YOU KNOW, HEATHER IS A
BIG SISTER TO ME. SHE WAS AN EXAMPLE FOR ME TO SEE
A BLACK WOMAN IN THIS POSITION AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, TO GUIDE
US AND TO LEAD US, BUT WE HAD GREAT LAUGHS TOGETHER, GREAT
CRIES TOGETHER. BUT SHE WAS AN EXAMPLE FOR ME TO
FOLLOW IN BUILDING MY COMPANY. I WOULD COME TO HER AND GO, WHAT
DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS IDEA, AND SHE WOULD HELP ME WORK IT
OUT. BUT ALSO, SHE GAVE ME AN EXAMPLE
THAT I COULD POSSIBLY EXECUTIVE PRODUCE VEHICLES FOR MYSELF OR
FOR OTHER PEOPLE. AND SHE WAS JUST A REALLY DOWN
SISTER WHO WELCOMED EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW?
AND SHE MADE ME WANT TO BE BETTER.
NATALIE: I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID. WE HAD A MEMORIAL FOR HER HERE,
AND SHE REALLY ALSO GAVE UMS THE BLUEPRINT ABOUT HOW TO LIVE YOUR
LIFE, AND AMANDA, YOU CAN REALLY SPEAK TO THAT.
AMANDA: YEAH, AND I THINK I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT HER CHARACTER.
IT'S SOMETHING I REALLY ADMIRED. YOU KNOW, SHE WAS -- SINCE I MET
HER BATTLING A DISEASE, AND NEVER ONCE, NEVER ONCE LET YOU
KNOW IT. YOU KNOW, NEVER COMPLAINED.
ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE, ALWAYS HAPPY TO BE AT WORK,
ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU AND BE THERE FOR YOU.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LESSON IN LIFE TO
LEARN. LIKE, WE DON'T KNOW THE BATTLES
THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING AT HOME AND WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY LEAVE
WORK, AND SHE NEVER COMPLAINS. SHE NEVER ASKS FOR ANYTHING.
AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS HER SIDE C.D.B. GUMMY HELPER ON THE SIDE,
YOU KNOW, SHE NEVER -- SHE NEVER EXPLAINED.
AND I WILL TAKE THAT LESSON WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
SHE WAS SUCH AN ADMIRABLE CHARACTER.
AKBAR: AND TOE THAT, HEATHER NEVER COMPLAINING, I HAD A
CHANCE FOR JUST A YEAR, AND I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD, I
WAS NOTIFIED SHE WAS BATTLING CANCER, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU NEVER
WANT TO HEAR THAT ABOUT SOMEONE, BUT THEN WHAT WAS INTERESTING IS
THAT SHE WAS FULL OF SO MUCH JOY, THAT SLOWLY YOU FORGOT SHE
WAS BATTLING CANCER. BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST ALWAYS
HAPPY. AND I'M A LITTLE SKEPTICAL
SOMETIMES. I'M LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
GOING TO LAST, THIS JOYOUS ATTITUDE, GOING TO LAST FOREVER.
A MONTH WENT BY, SIX MONTHS WENT BY, EIGHT MONTHS, NINE MONTHS,
AND YOU GO THIS IS WHO SHE IS. AND I MEAN, IT HAS IMPACTED ME
IN A WAY THAT I WILL NEVER, EVER FORGET.
NOT ONLY THAT, SHE WAS ALSO A VERY SELFLESS PERSON.
I REMEMBER THE LAST PHOTO, SO IEN COURAGE ALL OF YOU GUYS,
TAKE PLENTY OF PHOTOS WITH THOSE OF YOU LOVE.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE SAYING, WE WERE HERE WITH LISA, AND I WAS
LIKE, GET IN THE PHOTO. OH, NO, NO, NO, THAT'S OK.
NO, GET IN THE PHOTO. AND NATALIE --
NATALIE: WE GRABBED HER, GET IN HERE, HEATHER.
AKBAR: SHE DID YOU NOT WANT TO BE IN THE PHOTO, AND I HUGGED
HER IN, AND THAT WAS THE LAST PHOTO.
NATALIE: THAT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE.
I WILL JUST SAY, SHE LOVED TO SMACK TALK ANYBODY HERE ABOUT
HER FANTASY FOOTBALL. JERRY WAS ON HER LIST.
JERRY: YOU KNOW, IT'S SO FUNNY, FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD NOT BE
HERE IF IT WERE NOT FOR HEATHER GRAY, SO I'M ETERNALLY GRATEFUL
TO HER. IT'S FUNNY, WHEN I FIRST STARTED
WORKING HERE, THE KNICKS WERE SOMEHOW IN THE PLAYOFFS.
DON'T ASK ME HOW THAT HAPPENED, BUT THEY WERE.
AND HEATHER AND I WERE BOTH AVID NEW YORK SPORTS FANS.
AND I WENT TO GO MEET HEATHER. HEATHER SAID, HEY, COME TO
ROCCO'S, THAT'S MY LOCAL BAR. AND HEATHER WAS MY -- I WAS
GOING TO MEET MY BOSS. BUT THAT'S WHEN I MET FUN
HEATHER. AND WE ALL KNOW FUN HEATHER.
AND HEATHER LOVED TO HAVE FUN. AND HEATHER LOVED TO HAVE A
DRINK. AND HEATHER, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
LOVED TO LAUGH. THAT WOMAN LOVED TO LAUGH.
AND LISTEN, JUST TO GET ME GOING, ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE
ALCOHOL AND SOMEONE WHO LAUGHS HARD, AND I'M GONE.
LIKE, I'M THERE ALL NIGHT LONG. BUT, YOU KNOW, I APOLOGIZE TO
CBS HUMAN RESOURCES AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT HEATHER AND I ALSO
SHARED A LOVE OF GAMBLING. AND I USED TO -- I USED TO
GAMBLE WITH HOUSES AND CASINOS, BUT THEN WHEN I STARTED WORKING
FOR HEATHER, I START GAMBLING DIRECTLY WITH HEATHER.
I'M SORRY, H.R. I'M SORRY.
AND HEATHER BEAT ME A LOT MORE ON WHICH THAN I BEAT HER.
HEATHER WAS A GOOD GAMBLER, AND HEATHER WOULD DO THE FUNNIEST
THING. WE'D COME TO WORK, DIDN'T WANT
TO GET IN TROUBLE OR HAVE ANYBODY KNOW.
SO HEATHER OFTEN BEAT ME IN A BET, WOULD WALK PAST ME AND GO
HMM. NATALIE: I KNOW THAT, YEAH.
JERRY: AND MAKE ME LAUGH SO HARD.
I HATE LOSING A BET, BUT I LOVED LOSING BETS TO HEATHER.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. SHE'S THE BEST.
I THINK THINK ABOUT HER EVERY DAY, EVERY DAY.
NATALIE: WE'RE SPENDING LOVE TO HER FAMILY AS WE TALK ABOUT HER
AS WELL, BECAUSE HEATHER IS FAMILY TO US AS WELL.
AND I HAVE TO SAY, SPEAKING ABOUT FAMILY, I KNOW FOR MY 50TH
BIRTHDAY, SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE, WE HAD A LITTLE PARTY THERE.
SHE HUNG OUT, WE SAW FUN HEATHER THAT NIGHT DRINKING, THR, BUT SE
SPENT TIME WITH MY PARENTS, AND SHE SAID HOW GREAT THEY WERE ON
THE SHOW. MY MOM IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I WAS
WORRIED I WASN'T GOOD. MOM, EVERYBODY LOVED YOU.
HEATHER SAID SHE LOVED YOU. YOU WERE GREAT.
SO HEATHER, WE MISS YOU, BUT WE FEEL YOUR PRESENCE WITH US ALL
THE TIME. WE HAVE A PHOTO IN HER MEMORY AS
YOU COME INTO THE STUDIO BACKSTAGE.
WE DID IT WITH OUR PRAYER EARLIER TODAY.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S OUR BEAUTIFUL HEATHER STILL SHINING,
STILL SUCH A CENTERPIECE OF OUR LIVES, AND ALWAYS A PART OF THIS
SHOW. WE LOVE YOU DEARLY.
YOU MAY NOT BE HERE WITH US, BUT YOU ARE HERE WITH US ALWAYS AND
FOREVER. HEATHER GRAY, WE LOVE YOU,
SENDING PRAYERS AND LOVE TO HER FAMILY ALWAYS.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NATALIE: BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE, WE'RE KEEPING OUR FRIENDS IN
PUERTO RICO IN OUR HEARTS AND OUR THOUGHTS TODAY.
