Transcript
00:00Hello, I'm Chris Cuomo. You're watching The Hollywood Reporter. Let's get after it.
00:13Don Lemon is a person who has a depth of commitment and loyalty to friends that is very uncommon, period,
00:25let alone in a business that is often about very surfacial relationships.
00:32Be you. The best advice I've ever been given in this business, the best advice I could ever give anyone
00:39else, is be you.
00:41Be you. Bring to the job what you know and what you have that makes you special.
00:50Probably speaking to one of the survivors of the most recent tornadoes, people who get that kind of perspective of
00:58being spared,
00:59who have this immediate truth about what really matters in their lives, is being able to hold on to the
01:05people who matter most,
01:06when things may come and go often and flash. They are very deep reminders to me about what really matters
01:15in life.
01:16And there is something spiritual in that for me. There is something that is hopeful in that, that we can
01:23remember what really matters.
01:28I have made so many mistakes on television. It depends what category you want to put the faux pas into.
01:36Once, when I was subbing in on Good Morning America, one of the first reads I had, I was supposed
01:42to say GMA and I said GM Moo.
01:44And over the years, I have had this problem with calling Senator Angus King, Angus Hines.
01:55And I have called Senator King Angus Hines several different times.
01:58I have had my share, and you know what the beauty of the business is? There are plenty more to
02:03come.
