Martha would not only rebound and rebuild, she would completely redefine herself, with a little help from some friends. I had to sit next to snoop. I was so high. Say again . I was so high. Harvey Martha Stewart, good in the kitchen, kickass in the board room. Martha stewart. How do you do . Whats crack alackin . laughs everything. laughs thank you so much for doing this. I am fascinated by your journey. How you got to where you are today. Great. And thats what were gonna do today. Great. Well, its the american dream. It is the american dream. And nightmare. both chuckle i get it. Lets start. Okay. Okay. Tell me what this is. Well, this is one of my precious bowls. But its a special bowl because it was given to me by my nextdoor neighbors in nutley, new jersey, mr. And mrs. Mouse. They were german immigrants who were fantastic bakers. And when they retired from their bakery, they started a bakery in their basement. And this is one of the bread bowls. And they gave me this. Your dad, um. Had a big impact on you. Tell me a little bit about it. He did. My father was a very handsome man, very tall, actually, he could be called beautiful i think. Blond hair, blueeyed, looked more nordic than polish, but he was 100 polish. My mother was also polish, 100 . Born in buffalo, new york. Ive read he was a perfectionist. Very much so. And i got my sense of perfection and wanting to do things in the best possible way with the best possible result from him. That stuck . Yeah, so it stuck. And it still sticks. The perfect, perfect cafe latte. The perfect ganache. How to make the perfect bed. That is a very nice egg. Perfect. He was also big into gardening. Dad was a wonderful gardener. He grew the best tomatoes on the street. Some of his tomatoes, those jersey tomatoes, were four pounds each. Four pounds . Four pounds. Those were big, big they were called big boys, actually. Um, and then he also grew beautiful flowers and he instilled in me a love of gardening. I am a real gardener. And i think thats from dad. You are your fathers daughter. I am. And i think i i hate to say it, but i think i was his favorite daughter. You grew up in a time when women became housewives. Yes. It seems that you didnt accept that at a very early age. Was it because of your dad . Uh, no, i dont think it was my dad. I think my mother could be considered a feminist, an early feminist, because she was trained as a teacher. The day my youngest sister, laura, got into kindergarten, mom started teaching again. So she went right back to work with six kids at home to feed at night. She would then go and teach a class of 32 students at the Lincoln School in nutley, new jersey. One of my favorite things that ive read about you is what you wrote in your high school yearbook. And it so resonates. I want to talk about it. You wrote, i do as i please and i do it with ease. chuckles a little bit snotty, i would say in retrospect. I would, too. But its interesting you wrote that as a kid, as a 16yearold. Right. Well, i felt that way. Dad had instilled that into me. His best piece of advice he ever gave me was, if you work hard enough, you could pretty much do anything, martha thats what he said to me. So he understood that i had a brain, he understood that i was smart enough. I wanted to be a housewife, too. I did not ever look down on the on housekeeping, or house work. I never looked down on it. I was brought up doing house work. Did you ever have a rebellious period growing up . I wish i could say i did. I was just Goodie Twoshoes all the way. Really . Until i met my. My boyfriend, my first boyfriend. Who turned out to be my fiance, and then my husband. I was a very good girl. And that was your rebellious period . Yes. both laugh well, because, i mean, i went out of our religion, i married i fell in love with a jewish boy, and i brought him home. And my father was. Well, i didnt bring him home first, i went home and told my parents that i was 18 years old i said, i have fallen in love and im going to get married, and i didnt ask if i could get married i just said i am going to get married. And my father actually slapped me. Because he was jewish. Then when they met him oh, my gosh, then they fell in love with him. They loved him, and. Can i go back to slapping . chuckles he slapped me. In my happiest moment, telling my parents i was going to get married, he said im too young, youre wasting your life, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, you know, that kind of thing. Wow. Yeah. Had he ever done that before . Slapped me . Yes. Oh, yes. But not, like, across my face, i usually got spanked. Wow. It was the day of spanking. Um. chuckles okay, so. Not bad, i mean, when i say spanking, you know, it was discipline. Parents actually disciplined their kids. Nowadays, youre not allowed to do this, and youre not allowed to do that, and most parents, youre not allowed touch and. But in those days, actually, discipline. Didnt your parents ever spank you . Daily. Yes. Okay. Harvey was this an easy childhood . Martha i would say it was a very easy childhood. Harvey had a good one . Martha it was very good. I enjoyed everything i did. I was happy. music playing so tell me about these. Well, these are this is mrs. Beaton. Mrs. Beaton started writing in the early 1800s. And this is called household management. Its everything you have to know about keeping a home. So many Different Things in here recipes for wild duck, and sole, look at these beautiful sole, and how to cook, catch and clean eel. Whatever you want to know, its here. This is all about being a housewife. Yes. This is all about being a. How to run a home. So. You want to sit down on a stool . Okay, id love that. As we talk in my kitchen . This is my kitchen by the way. I im a perceptive guy. laughs i noticed. You. Went into modeling early. And, im wondering, was it because people said to you, martha, you should be a model, or did you just look in the mirror and say, yeah, i can do that . Martha i never considered myself a great beauty or even beautiful, but i had a neighbor friend who was modeling in new york city. And she said, you know, i model and i make money on the side. You should try it. Youre attractive. You can probably get an agent. So she took me to her agent in new york. And, yes, they signed me right away. And i started to earn, i think i remember earning 15 an hour to start, that was live modeling at Bonwit Teller on saturdays. Modeling whatever they put on me and i would walk around the store. And then, i got another agent. And they said, oh, you can do commercials. Announcer busy, active people, stop. Now you can odorproof your body. Helps blemishproof your skin, too. Get the active soap for active people. Did you ever think, maybe ill put college in the backburner and make modeling my career . Oh, never. It didnt occur to me at all. I was using modeling as a means to an end. Because i was told by my parents they did not have enough money to pay any tuition. Harvey you met your husband, andy, i believe, when you were at barnard, he was at yale. Martha yes, he was at yale law school. And i fell madly in love immediately. Harvey what attracted you . Martha well, he was very smart, and he was nicelooking, and he was welleducated, and he talked a lot, and he was fun. I mean, all the good things. How quickly did you marry him . Oh, within a year. So you were 19 when you got married. I was. That surprises me that you would get married that early when youre so focused and determined to go out on your own and. Make a name for yourself. Well, i had lots of interests, and marriage just was it just came along and i thought, god, you know, this is great. I really love this man. And i didnt call him a man, this boy. And why not get married . I can do everything anyway. Which i did. Harvey and it never occurred to you that, when you get married, then you suddenly assume a fairly traditional role again that might hamper your ability to go out . Well, he wasnt that kind of guy. He was not going to put me in the kitchen and make me cook dinner every single night. I wanted to cook dinner. I cooked dinner anyway. So why not do that and study . And i did not give up my studies, i continued to go to school. Got my degree. I toyed with the idea of becoming an architect. And instead of becoming an architect, i went to wall street. Andys father had been a stockbroker. He had a seat on the new york stock exchange. And i thought, oh, this looks exciting, investing, learning about companies. It was very exciting and interesting. You go to wall street, which was maledominated at the time. Very much so. Was that daunting . Uh, no. Again, i dont easily i dont get daunted too easily by things or by people. How were the male colleagues receiving you . Oh, they loved me, oh, no, they loved me. And the senior partner, of course, monez, he fell madly in love with me. And, um but i was a married woman and i sort of stuck to my guns. I was always a married woman. And i flirted, but that was it. And so you were never discriminated against . No. Really . No. They used me. I mean, they used me as a sort of allure for clients, in the nicest possible way. Youre a successful stockbroker, youre young, you know, its exciting, youre having a great time. You quit. chuckles and you move to the country. Im thinking, is she just waving the white flag and shes just gonna become a housekeeper . Martha thats when i started developing my idea that change is good. Learn as much as you can, move on. But what were you moving on to . Well, i was moving on to something new. What was that new thing, moving to the country . We bought a house. Right. And i was commuting from an old, rickety house, turkey hill road, 1805 farm house, and i wanted to see what i could do with it. With no particular designs on starting a business . No, not necessarily, no. But i liked to cook, and then thinking, you know, i want to start a business. Im gonna start cooking. And i had a friend who wanted to cook. So we started a catering business. music playing in one day, you become a billionaire. Yes. I was driving up madison avenue, and thinking, gosh, i can buy anything. Did you . No, i was so stupid. laughs did you . No, i was so stupid. You dont use this old tno g, do you . Or how bout this dinosaur right here . Nope then why are you still using a laser printer .

The framed design of my stock certificate when we went public on the new york stock exchange. It feels really good, especially now with the stock opening substantially higher than the offering price. I must tell you, were really excited. Its a good thing. This is when you became a billionaire. Yes. That was a good day. I bet. laughs tell me about that day. Well, it was a very exciting day. I had worked hard to build a company that was Martha Stewart living on the media. And a lot of people poopooed the idea of on the media, but, to me, it really made sense. So it was a media company, which encompassed a magazine and a world of books, um, and television. Harvey television. Martha it became a merchandising company. We sold products. At that time, we were selling a lot of product at kmart. Im Martha Stewart. And im kmarts new consultant for entertaining and lifestyle. Ill be helping millions of kmart customers with tips on just about everything for the home and entertaining. So come to kmart. So you have this amazing company. Yes. And, in one day, you become a billionaire. Yes. And i was driving up madison avenue and thinking, gosh, i could buy anything. Did you . No, i was so stupid. laughs i mean, i, you know, i like things, i like art, i love but i like a lot of things. You were the First American woman who became a selfmade billionaire. Thats what. Thats what they say. Harvey that mustve felt great. Martha it was excellent. But i dont take that kind of stuff and take it as seriously as other people take it. Its a big deal. It is a big deal. But i had a lot to do and it was ive been very busy ever since. Im taking you back now to turkey hill. So youre painting the house, working on roofs, uh, and then you decide, im gonna start a catering business. Yeah. Why . Well, i like to cook, and i noticed that there was a void in the market for a good catering service. Harvey what was the hole in the market . Martha the whole was everywhere for good, wholesome food for parties. Harvey when you started out, did it feel to you like this was gonna become a business youre gonna develop or was it more of a hobby . Oh, no, it was a business. I was booking up to a Million Dollars in revenue for my catering business, and thats a lot of money. Locally . Yes. A Million Dollars . Yes. chuckles but that was hard work. And what really happened was the experience that i got doing this catering led to me deciding that, if i didnt write something about this work i was doing, if i ever grandchildren, they wouldnt know what grandma had done. So i decided to write a book. And thats really what the value of all that catering, and all that learning, and all that Recipe Development led to the creation of my number one cookbook. Harvey that was book was everything, wasnt it . Martha it was the first time that people understood, that i understood that i was every woman who really needed advice and guidance in entertaining friends and family. Holidays became more important after this book. People really paid more attention to what were they gonna serve on Christmas Eve or christmas day, and birthdays and feasts of different ethnicities. All of this is in this book. Its a simple, beautiful book and i think everybody should read it. Steven spielberg talked about you creating housekeeping as an art form. Martha right, and that was so flattering, by the way. And he told me that walking down the street on lily pond lane in east hampton. But its true. Yeah. But, at the same time, its unattainable to most people. They cant do that. But it isnt anymore. I really think that women everywhere, and guys who are running their own homes now theres a lot of single men or married men who are running their households i think they all know pretty much now how to throw a good party. Did you have a master plan or was this just kind of happening as it went along . I wish i could say it was all mapped out. laughs of course it wasnt mapped out. But i knew what i liked to do. I really, id found my voice with this book. So i started to write a book a year. And every single year, i created a really, really good book. And i wanted to do television, i wanted to do everything. I thought the only other format that would pay off is a magazine. So thats where this comes in. This is number one issue of Martha Stewart living. This was an immediate success as a magazine. It was the first fullfledged lifestyle magazine with a person attached. Were you competing with oprah . I was a little earlier than oprah. It was martha, then it was oprah, then it was rosie. We were all like ten years apart. Oprah is by far the wealthiest and most powerful, but i consider myself a successful creator of an industry. I have seen a lot of successful people try their hand at television and they fail miserably. You had never done television before. Its pretty audacious to say, now im gonna venture into this area without any experience. And you were successful at it. Martha well, i was good in front of the camera. I learned that modeling. I think that modeling was really the best teacher for me because there you are, standing with 25 people over there telling you what to do and you have to look nice, and act relaxed and pretty in the pictures. So i learned how to behave in front of the camera. Right. But then, i was also a good teacher and i could easily talk well and do. Its hard to. Its hard to cut meat and. And talk, yeah. Smile at the camera, and do the whole thing and not burn yourself and cut yourself. Ive only cut myself once on camera. And do all of that stuff, its not an easy thing. And still look good and act well and be pleasant in front of the camera. Youre a competitive person. Um, im competitive. But not, not. I mean, i wouldnt be good on a tennis court competing with anybody. Im not like that. What about in business . Um. Im not cutthroat in business. Im not. Why do you think some people say you are . Because im successful. laughs i think thats really the reason. music playing for five months, i spent an uneasy time in alderson federal prison. James comey was the prosecutor. Yeah, dear james. Do you think that hes sexist . brakes screeching okay.

Talk, talk while our competition continues to talk. So tell me what this is. Well, for five months, i spent an uneasy time in alderson federal prison, i guess its called. I cant even remember the name. But, to pass the time, i took up whatever i could possibly take up. Mmhmm. Reading; it was like a great reading vacation. But i also took pottery. Ceramics its called there. Wait, wait, wait, you made these in prison . I did. You were allowed to make three pieces of ceramics in five months. But i persuaded the powersthatbe that this was one piece because you couldnt just do three of them, you had to do the whole thing. So i think theres 12 pieces or 15 pieces. So this is a nativity scene . This is a nativity, um. Figures for a creche, a christmas creche. But this is so intricate. Arent they beautiful . Oh, my god. And you had to ship it out you know, and you had to wrap everything. And nothing got broken i was so pleased that. laughs you know, these are so great. Look it, these are the Three Wise Men bringing their gifts to baby jesus. And heres joseph and mary. And these beautiful camels. Harvey this is incredible. Martha so i recently called the prison to ask if they still had the molds. cause id like to make this for, you know, qvc or for. Oh, my god, Martha Stewarts prison molds. Oh, no, dont call it that. Okay, but it would sell. Its called a creche it would sell like crazy lets call it the nativity. Its so beautiful, but at the same time, it brings back memories. Is it painful . You know, that time is i do not want to be defined by a time like that. Thats an unfair time. Harvey do you feel like you were unfairly targeted because you were Martha Stewart . Martha i can go on and on and on about this. I dont think its so appropriate. Harvey okay, then give me a yes or no. Yes. Definitely yes. Im just very, very sorry that its come to this. That a small personal matter has been able to be blown out of all proportion, and with such venom and such. Gore. I mean, its just terrible. James comey was the prosecutor. Yeah, dear james. So, hes a complicated person, isnt he . Do you think that hes sexist . No, im sure i was an example. And thats it. Harvey until Hillary Clinton comes along. Second example. But not only the second, there have been. Im sure there are other people that were also used as examples. So are there dots you connect that then. . Um, ill be writing about it in my autobiography. laughs were you hurt by the glee that some people expressed when you went through this . Not hurt, just disgusted. laughs and im a very strong person. I can put up with a lot of lemons in my life, but, of course, i was really, not discouraged, even, just disgusted that this kind of thing could happen in the united states. You brought a 10,000 birkin bag into court. Martha um, i dont even know if it was 10,000. I bought that bag, its a beautiful bag. I have very few handbags, pocketbooks. And very few, and that was the one i was using at the time. I didnt even think about it, that was my pocketbook. Expensive pocketbook. Well, i was a rich woman. They didnt focus on my clothes so much. Some of those clothes were more expensive than the pocketbook. Harvey laughs you got away with that. laughs got away with that. But, um. But it was. It was ridiculous that that was the focus. Why . Does a man get focused on for the belt hes wearing or the gold buckle or the whatever . What was it like for you there . I mean, here you are in this opulent life, and then going there. Martha simple, i mean, it was just simple. I had a roommate, we were in a little old house. This was like a campus. It had been built, that particular place had been built as a girls school. And there were small brick buildings, no security, no fence. Was it difficult for you . No, not at all. How was the food . Horrible. laughing horrible. There were no lemons. Did you try to influence the cooks . No. Harvey really . Martha no, i did not try to impose anything on anybody there. Thats not the appropriate place to do that. If you played family feud and said things about Martha Stewart, that ponchos gonna come up in one of the numbers. martha chuckles its in a box somewhere in the attic. Harvey you dont know where it is . Martha no, its some place. I have a lot of stuff stored here and there. Harvey people were obsessed with that poncho. Oh, i know, and we made a pattern, which is still sold. laughs and you can still buy the same wool. You are fantastic. And it was a great poncho. Well, david, welcome. I see you have your ankle bracelet. chuckles yeah. Your poncho. And poor little francesca, youre holding her by the ear. laughs hey, say hello to my little friend. laughter you did your house arrest here. And i am blown away by how fantastic this place is. Yet ive read this was harder for you than prison. Martha well, it was. It was, again, that kind of thing is so unfair. Wearing an ankle bracelet for gods sake. I mean, and, uh. I couldnt do saturday night live. They asked me to do saturday night live, and there were not enough hours to prepare for saturday night live. I couldve been alec baldwin. both laugh theres an old saying that that which doesnt kill you, makes you stronger. I hate adages like that. I think they are ridiculous. If youre strong, youre strong. And youre not gonna get any stronger by going to a silly place like alderson. music playing harvey i was blown away by your performance at the Justin Bieber roast. Were you scared .

You made money while you were in prison. You bet. You made 12 cents an hour going in, and a lot of money going out with this. Right, i dont remember the 12 cents, but. Okay, so my opinion . Prison made you super cool. laughs well, actually, to a Certain Group in america, prison gives you street cred, so. It does, doesnt it . But its an unnecessary way to get it. Well, you know, its funny because there are a lot of people who may not have liked you or have been indifferent, but showing imperfection, whether it was fair or not fair, makes you relatable to people. So isnt there a positive that comes from it . No positive whatsoever. Im not giving in on that point. So. chuckles there is no lemonade here. None. By the way, natasha, i do a lot of gardening, but you are, without a doubt, the dirtiest, usedup hoe i have ever seen. laughter i was blown away by your performance at the Justin Bieber roast.

No. I was so high. Say again . I was so high. It was just a joke. both laugh well, i dont know. I mean, you were sitting next to snoop. I had to sit next to snoop for four hours. Oh, secondhand. laughs yes. Its nice to see snoop again. One of the highestrated episodes of my show, Martha Stewart living, was when snoop and i made brownies together. laughter and, uh, ive used his recipe ever since. As a matter of fact, i ate three of them right before they called, and asked me to do this roast. laughs i guess that was the first time you met him, right . Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, you knew him before . Oh, yeah, we knew each other. Oh, he was on your show, wasnt he . He was on my show. And just a, you know, a pleasant guest, fun guest, and one of the most popular guests. Hi, everybody, welcome to our show. Or should i say, whats crack alackin . audience laughs cause look whos sitting right next to me . Hes very funny and so laid back. And, um. And we just rekindled just a friendship on that roast. And then someone came and asked if we would do this, um, a cooking show together. music playing we thought that it would be really nice to do a potluck supper. And thats what we did. Harvey so. Is this rebranding, a brand extension . cause thats not the stuff you used to do. Its neither, neither. Its really a melding of two diverse cultures. Ive gotten to know what compton and all that. Lifestyle is about, and music. I didnt know how talented snoop was in music, or jamie foxx is a genius. You dont know that until you actually sit down and spend a day with a person thats famous, but you dont know how talented underneath they are, what education has gone into that, that amazing performance ability. So i learned a lot, and he certainly has learned a lot. Fo shnizzle. Yeah, for shnizzle. laughs yeah. So tell me the truth, you smoke with him now . Never. Really . Never. Its of no interest to me. But its interesting to me. Snoop dogg oh, lord. Watch out for martha cause shes about to lose cause snoops chicken is soaked in chronic and booze. laughter your version of the apprentice kind of ruined your relationship with donald trump, didnt it . Martha well, at that time, he didnt like it because, well, he doesnt like much. But he didnt like that i even had a version of the apprentice. I was supposed to fire him at the end of my. My first season. Harvey really . Martha well, they he was going to leave the apprentice. And mark burnett had promised me that i would fire donald trump. And, uh, that didnt happen. Donald trump decided he wanted to continue with the apprentice, and rightly so because, look, he became president as a result of that apprentice show. Along the way, he trashed you and said, oh, her ratings were my ratings. That ruined the relationship, didnt it . Martha oh, well, at that time, it wasnt so nice to say things like that, but hes said that about his other successors too. He doesnt want to give anybody else a chance. Does he . music playing you were married for 29 years. Right. What went wrong . Um. What went wrong . Uh, i think he had a wandering eye.

Youd think that now that shes a mom, shes grownup, that she wouldve sort of figured it out. Well, she hasnt. Harvey alexis once said. martha laughs so she really put herself out there to be judged. Oh, wow, i mean, i couldnt do this. Thats amazing. Shes a fantastic cook. Shes a better cook than i am. Really . Oh, she is. And she cooks 15 meals a day right now for her family. And she is the cook of the household. Harvey so she really got this from you. Martha well, i dont know if she got it from me, but she is a fantastic mother, she has two amazing children, my grandchildren. clicks tongue im so proud of them. Theyre my only two grandchildren. And i pay their school tuition. I still. laughter i still dont get to know what theyre gonna be on halloween. So your daughter doesnt come to the Martha Stewart board to get approval of the costumes . Shes extremely original herself, so guess what . She doesnt really need me to do that. You were married for 29 years. Right. What went wrong . Um. What went wrong . I think i was working too hard, not paying enough attention. I think he had a wandering eye. And wandering whatever. laughs and, um. laughs we grew apart. I did not want to get divorced. Yeah, i know he left. Yes. Yeah. It hurt. Oh, yeah, for a long time. But. Ive built a good life. You had talked about, um. Wanting another wanting a companion. Um, is that a priority . Martha oh, i have companions. I have five dogs, six horses. laughs but you didnt meet any of them on match. Com and youre on match. Com. Martha oh, yeah, that was a disaster. harvey laughs that was a disaster. No, but ive had some serious relationships that also didnt work out, if you want to call it, if marriage is working out, or just longterm friendships. Most of my relationships have ended in a friendship, but not in a marriage. But its still something you seek. No, not really. Really . I mean, if it comes, it comes. And thank heavens i have the two fantastic grandchildren that i have, jude and truman. Harvey boy, they have just taken your heart, havent they . Martha oh, definitely, definitely. Im sure i am boring to death to my friends talking about my grandchildren. Alexis said that sometimes you made her, not only cook her own meals, but wrap her own christmas presents. laughs so what changed . Oh, well, she. They always say grandchildren are infinitely more interesting and more pleasurable than children. Is that true with you . No. laughs no that was a trick question. I know. Alexis was great. But having the grandchildren is just a joy. You really love them. I do love them. And you see them a lot . I try to see them quite often, yes. Several times a week. And your relationship with alexis is strong. Better than it has been, not as good as it should be. I want to ask you one other dating question. I read that you once dated anthony hopkins. Well, we had a dinner, and a date, but i couldnt get out of my head hannibal lecter. both laugh that was the buzzkill.

But i love to travel, thats my adventuresome side. I like to travel, too. Yeah. I dont climb mountains. Oh, well, you should try. Whered you get this sense of adventure . Well, im an energetic person with a lot of curiosity about the world and about nature. Harvey you went kayaking in newfoundland, you went panning for gold in the alaskan yukon. martha laughs dune bashing in the middle east. I dont know what it is. It seems incongruous to look at that and then look at a woman who makes her living really teaching people how to be a homemaker. Martha right, but part of homemaking is traveling and learning. And look at the crafts ive learned all over the world. The crafts, and the cooking, and the foods, and oh, its incredible. Its always about learning for me. Its a theres so much to learn and you should never stop. And im incredibly lucky that im able to do it. Do you ever think someday youre just gonna sit down and kick back, enjoy life . Uh, nope. laughs you like working . I do. Why . Its exciting. Its exciting to create. And i dont think you have to stop working. And i dont even consider some of this work that i do. How can you consider your travel work . You cant. How can you consider writing a book work . You cant. Its, you know, its what you do. Its writing. I always say, dont think of doing the laundry as a chore, think of it as doing the laundry. What can you learn while youre doing the laundry . A lot.

This is objectified. This is what kylie jenner wore home from the hospital the day she was born. Oh im harvey levin. This is the story of arguably one of the most famous moms on the planet, who became the architect of one of the most visible and lucrative empires in entertainment. people clamoring as a little girl, kris dreamed of being a housewife and mom, but that fairytale life with Robert Kardashian was shortlived. When he filed for divorce, that was pretty devastating for you. Oh, yeah i went to the market one day and my credit card didnt work, and im like, i cant even buy a tomato. Harvey soon, a new man would catch her eye, bruce jenner, an american hero, and together they would achieve fame and fortune, but not everything was picture perfect. Youre going to make me psychotic you already are psychotic. Harvey there was obviously a big secret that bruce was holding. Caitlyn now says from the beginning you knew. A newlysingle kris navigated her entire family to unimaginable triumphs. 700 million followers who are influenced by you. Have you ever thought of using that to push a political agenda . Kris jenner, the matriarch of the most Famous Family on the planet, who has taken every obstacle thrown her way and come out on top. Thank you so much for having me how are you . Oh, my god its so good seeing you. Good to see you, too. Thank you so much for doing this im excited about the show. Im excited about talking to you. Yeah . Even though i know you. I know, you know way too much about me. But heres what heres what i wanna do today. Okay. I wanna trace your life. Were gonna use objects that youve kept oh, boy. And find those Building Blocks along the way that turned you into kris jenner. Well, im 62 years old, so this might take hours. Okay, well, lets do it. Okay, lets go. So, tell me what this is. Thats annabelle. Okay. Hi, annabelle. That is my baby annabelle. My mom and my dad gave this to me when i went into the hospital when i was seven, and i had an operation on my leg cause i had a bone tumor. I know about that. I know you do, cause you read everything. Didnt you . Youre very well prepared. Yes, i did. But this is what i got, and this got me through my little surgery. And she, in a way were gonna get into the bone tumor, but in a way, she symbolizes overcoming obstacles. I guess thats why i keep her handy and always with me, cause shes very comforting. Im gonna take you back to la jolla. Okay. It was kind of a middle class upbringing . Kris uhhuh. Yes. Um, was born and raised in san diego, and my parents got divorced when i was seven. And i was really close to my grandparents. So, eventually, my mom moved in across the street from my grandparents. Sound familiar . And, um yes. And so my grandmother, and my grandfather, and my mom raised me and my sister karen. And we never felt like we were missing one thing. We had a lot of love and we had everything we ever wanted, and, you know, it was a great childhood. Your mom was a big influence on you. Yes. And its funny because the more i know about your mom, the more i see you are your mothers daughter. Kris chuckles shes great. Shes the best. She spends a lot of time up here now, so that makes me happy. Tell me about her as your role model growing up. Well, i think my mom and my grandmother were very much alike, because they were workaholics. They loved to work. They loved business. They you know, they loved fashion. So they kind of, you know, taught me, and then i taught my kids, i guess, that, you know, its the way you present yourself to the world. It was very important to my mom, you know, to get up in the morning, and, you know, put on her, you know, sunday best. And my grandmother would say, i cant go anywhere until i put my face on. Harvey she was a fashionista, your mom. So, yeah. And to this day, if i see my mom and shes not dressed to the nines, its it would be like, are you okay . You know . Are you feeling all right . But my grandmother had a candle store in la jolla. And when i was about 12 or 13, instead of going to the beach in the summer with all my friends, in order to get to the beach i had to go to the candle store and work for a little while, helping her wrap gifts and restocking merchandise, and she really taught me the ropes. I know everything you could possibly wanna know about a candle. And donuts, by the way. And donuts. You worked in donut store. Yeah, i did. Well, when i worked in the donut store, my job was scraping the glaze off of the floor with a glaze scraper. Before school. Wow, you started at the bottom, didnt you . I did. I scraped glaze. And i was so proud of that job, because i was saving at that time i was saving for a bicycle, and then i was saving for a car one day. You know, i had these dreams and i would set goals for myself at 13. You have a mother who is a fashionista, who is a working mom, who has a work a strong work ethic. Yes. And all of these things are not only embodied in you as an adult, but you passed them on to your children. Yeah. Thats a pretty Straight Line there. You go out there and you get it. You design it, and you start doing your homework and your due diligence. You just have to put your mind to it. Thats all. You said Something Interesting once. Girls my age were thinking about the prom. I was thinking bleep the prom. I wanna get married and have six kids. Kris true. So true. When i was 16, all i wanted to do was have six kids. Isnt that crazy . Well, its crazy to me, because im hearing two different kris jenners. Im hearing a kris jenner who wants nothing more than to get married and have six kids, mmhmm. And then im hearing about a kris jenner who is interested in business, work ethic, you know, going into the candle store, doing a good job. Mmhmm. And im here to say you can do both. You know, and thats the the message that i gave my children, my girls when they were growing up. I wanna get back annabelle. Annabelle . Okay. So, when you were young, you had a bone tumor, and my understanding is there was a chance you were gonna lose a leg. Thats what they told my mom. The technology in those days was they couldnt tell if it was cancerous or not until they got in there, and if it was they were gonna have to amputate. When i woke up, everyone was so happy. Im like, why are they so happy . Right. You know. Yeah. cause they knew. I didnt really understand at the time the impact of what was going on around me, and how lucky i was to have survived that. And i think that it gave me something to be grateful for years later. Yeah. Tell me whats in your hand. This is a necklace that i had when i was 17 years old. And its this is, like, so goofy. Its says, oh, bleep and i thought lets say, oh, crap for this. Oh, crap. Yeah, oh, crap. Yeah. So, this was something that i found in a little store when i was shopping with my girlfriends and i thought it was so edgy. And i probably i was a little bit of a rebel for a minute and thought it would be just cool you were a rebel . Well, i i guess. Because i bought this and i actually wore it. Ooh. Thats, like, the worst thing. I was, like, a wild teenager. So, i was wearing this necklace when i met Robert Kardashian harvey really . When i was 17 years old. He came up to me looking like tony orlando. You know . harvey laughs with highplatform shoes. I actually see that. No, no, no, i actually see that. The whole nine. No, the whole nine. laughs and he had a suit on and he was at the racetrack with his dad and his brother. And he came up and, you know, had some smooth line. 1975, i think. Over the period of a couple of months of talking to him on the phone, we kind of had a friendship. And it was really cool. And i thought, this guys i like this guy. But i had a boyfriend. So that was i think you had a fiance. Yeah. Well. Kind of. Sort of. Yeah. He was a golfer, right . Yes. Yeah. So you were going out with this golfer. Mmhmm. Kind of, sort of his fiancee. Kind of, sort of his fiancee. Yeah. And then you started dating robert. Yeah, well, yeah. Robert was he was irresistible. Harvey robert was a bornagain christian. Uhhuh. That created issues, didnt it . With who . With you. With premarital sex, with oh well, you know what . That kind of went back and forth. It was really interesting. Like, you know, for a couple months that would be something that just naturally happened and then a few months it would be, nah, this is we shouldnt be doing this, and, you know. So did you actually have to leave the house because that became an issue at a point . I did for about, i dont know, just a couple months. I married robert when i was 22 years old, and had i got pregnant on my honeymoon. And, believe me, all the armenian ladies were counting. harvey laughs theyre like theyre like and thank god, i had kourtney nine months, two weeks, and two days, i think, to the day that, you know, i was married. Wow i just think that it was meant to be. I had the happiest life you couldve dreamt about. But when youre in something you want sometimes people think the grass is always greener. And that was, like, what i think i went through at some point. When i look back on it now, probably one of my biggest regrets in my life is that that marriage fell apart. Part of it you do stupid things when youre young and, you know, not experienced with relationships. And thats not an excuse, its just to say that just young and dumb. And you had an affair with a Soccer Player and i did. I did, which wasnt nothing im proud of. You know, its something that happened that, um i think everything i have to live my life, and feeling really good about some of my choices. Did i love that choice . No, but i feel like it led me to another place where i then had kendall and kylie. So i always have to look back and go, that was, i guess, unfortunately, the way it was supposed to go. When he filed for divorce, that was pretty devastating for you. Yeah, because it made it real. Like, you think youre gonna come through this period, i thought, and everythings gonna be okay, and then all of a sudden it wasnt. So, that was really hard for me. And it was also hard in the money department. Oh, yeah. I was i didnt have anything. I went to the market one day and my, you know, credit card didnt work. I had a market credit card, and im like, i cant even buy a tomato. You know, i was like, i gotta figure this out. So thats when i knew that i had to figure out a life that you dont depend on anyone else. That gave me great strength. Harvey do you think, looking back, the reality show in some way sunk the marriage . No. No. There was obviously a big secret that bruce was holding. Caitlyn now says from the beginning you knew. There was obviously a big secret that bruce was holding. Quitting smoking is freaking hard. St, like quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big. So, try making it smaller. And youll be surprised at how easily starting small. Can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette about being a scientist at 3m. I wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one aha moment. Science is a process. It takes time, dedication. Its a journey. Were constantly asking ourselves, how can we do things better and better . what we make has to work. We strive to protect you. At 3m, were in pursuit of solutions that make peoples lives better.

With the galaxy tab s6, you can sign Digital Documents onscreen, with a finger or your s pen. Samsung business solutions. Its our most dangerous addiction. And to get the whole world clean .

Materials made from recycled plastic woven and molded into all the things we consume. We created bionic and put the word out with godaddy. What will you change . Make the world you want. Whats this . I love this. So, this is what kylie jenner wore home from the hospital the day she was born. Oh and its a little gown. So its a whole set. So i love these. I used to get these for all my kids when they came home from the hospital. And i cant even believe ive dont wanna tell you how many times that is, but i should have my own wing in there by now. Like, the kris jenner maternity wing. But this is a little blanket, and then the bonnet and the cap. Whichever, you get a choice. And the little gown. Oh, my gosh. Isnt that sweet . Thats kylies gown . This is kylie. And kylie i gave all of her baby stuff to her when she got pregnant with stormi. And stormi wears this . And stormi wore it home from the hospital. Oh, god. But to bring on you know, to carry on the tradition. Okay, so youre 35 years old. Yep. You are divorced and single again, mmhmm. And you swear off men. Uhhuh. I did. I did. And i swore off men, and two weeks later, Candace Garvey and her husband steve called and said, have we got a guy for you laughs and met bruce jenner. Harvey two weeks later. Yeah. Two weeks after i said im never going out with another guy again. Im done with men harvey so what was it that made bruce swear you back on men . Kris well, we went out on a date, and we went to the ivy at the shore with candace and steve, and had a great dinner, and just clicked, and ended up five months later, getting married. Harvey how did you kids react when you get divorced, you suddenly meet this guy, and you are a unit . Well, kourtney wore black for a year in protest. Really . Yep. Wouldnt talk to him. So, she was definitely daddys girl. Was kim . Kim was very respectful and kind and, yeah, but he eventually won them over. You really became a businesswoman when you and bruce got married. Well, we got married and i really didnt have anything, and i think he had 200 in the bank. So, you learn really quickly that with four kids and you have to feed everybody, and Everybody Needs a place to live, that youre gonna figure it out. I went to a motivational speech that he did for the boy scouts of america. I firmly believe that all of us, every person on this earth, was has a champion that lives down deep inside of em, that can come up with tremendous things to overcome tremendous obstacles, whether in the Business World or in the personal life. Why do i believe that . I believe it because ive seen it in my life. And it was fantastic. Really good. And i said, you should be on, like, a tour. You need to be doing this everywhere. And he goes, well, ive done this, you know, for years. But he was doing like two a year at that point, or whatever it was. Not a lot. We made press kits. I had a xerox machine going at 90 miles an hour in my office and put together press kits, and sent out thousands. We mailed thousands of kits to every Major Company in america about bruces speaking abilities and, you know, we made a tape. Im so interested in this, because i cant tell whether this the skills of business were developed because you thought, i wanna be a businesswoman, or whether this was sheer survival. It was both. I think at first it was survival. You know . I had to adjust my even my parenting skills had to adjust, because now my time had to be allocated much differently. So, when i suddenly switched from one thing to another, it was an adjustment. Harvey and you but you liked it. Kris loved it. Loved it. Every night when i went to bed and i put my head on the pillow, i felt so satisfied once again. I was like, this is amazing. So you had great kids, a bunch of em. A bunch. And then you decided to have more. I did. How come . Um, i just you know, i still had that dream of six kids. I just harvey and that was a dream as a child. Kris 16 years old. Harvey you wanted six. Kris yeah. Yeah, i really wanted more babies. Do you think, looking back, the reality show in some way sunk the marriage . You are really like a teenager. You have no idea what youre talking about. Kris lately is getting a little bit out of hand. She lashes out on the people that love her the most. I am going to lose my bleep youre going to make me psychotic you already are psychotic. Im leaving right now. No. No. Not at all. I dont think it had anything to do with the marriage. I think that doing the reality show was probably the best thing that we ever did. I think the reality show probably gave all of us sanity. There was obviously a big secret that bruce was holding. Mmhmm. Caitlyn now says from the beginning you knew. I promised my kids that this is something that im not speaking on anymore. What i will say is, you know, you just have to be logical and think about it. Youre not gonna, you know, build a life with somebody and spend 25 years being married if, at the end of the day, somebody wants something completely, you know, the opposite that you signed up for. So, you know, i just want at this point, for, um. You know, everyone to be very happy. Harvey you are their manager. Kris mmhmm. And you get a cut of what they make as a manager. I do. Have you ever thought about what might happen if one of them says, mom, youre fired. Have you ever thought about what might happen you dont use this old tno g, do you .

Well, on november 30, 2015, kylie launched her first three lip kits called candy k. , dolce k. , and true brown, and this started her empire. Yeah. She had a plan for Kylie Cosmetics when she was 17, and said, okay, mom, i want you to sit down. I finally figured out what i wanna do for the rest of my life. And im like, whoa okay. And she said, its gonna be makeup. I wanna do my own makeup and i wanna do a lip kit, and this is what i wanna do and these are the three colors. She had meetings, she knew exactly who she wanted, and what she wanted and executed it. And i think it was, you know, ten minutes later her product was sold out. Now its sold out. That was it. cheering that is really sweetheart, im so proud of you. I love you. My girl. Kylie, i think youve Just Launched an empire. I wanna get into how you built this empire. Whend you get the tv bug . Well, my one of my best friends is kathie lee gifford, and kathie lee and i go back 40 years. And shes the godmother her and frank gifford, who passed away, are the godparents of kendall and kylie. And for years i mean, im going back to probably Robert Kardashian days. She used to say, you guys, have a tv show. This is all so you know, youre so funny and you know everybody, and nobody would believe what goes on around here. A friend of mine, deena katz, was over at the house having dinner and she said, you know, Ryan Seacrest is looking for a producing partner and a show to do. Id like for you to go talk to him. And i said, great so, i had a meeting with ryan, and he loved the idea and took it to e . And they loved it, and i think 30 days later we were filming. So, it was really a whirlwind. Im kris jenner. Because im the mom im the mom and kims manager. Okay, kim, its your world. I just live in it. Say what you want, but i know whats best for my kids. Where did you learn the ropes of negotiation . Because that is a skill that eludes lawyers, and even, you know, people in business day to day. How did you develop that . I think i had the opportunity to grow up and be very close to and have intimate access to people like terry semel, and especially irving azoff, and just different people over the years of my life, who were studio heads and managers. It was selftaught, but by osmosis. It was like being in meetings and at peoples homes. So this is you as a housewife just kinda soaking it in, watching these people, yeah. Paying attention when i didnt realize i was paying attention. Right. And i was so interested all the time with, you know, what was going on behind the scenes and at the meetings and how life worked and who was doing what. Did people underestimate you as a business person when you started doing this . Probably. I was very unsteady on my feet for a while trying to figure it out. But when i became more comfortable in my own shoes and started to have a little bit of success, then i realized, oh, this is amazing. Like, this is i can do this. And then once i figured it out and got my confidence, and selftaught myself selftaught business, selftaught business management, management of a client who happened to be my kids. So, thats like trust me, thats not sometimes the greatest position, because, you know, you do something wrong and then you get yelled at. Right. Well, and youre still their parent no matter what happens in business. Right, right. So, its a little tricky. Its a tightrope. But im seeing this mom, its your job as my manager no, its a p no, im not pr. Khloe, calm down. This is the first im seeing of these questions. No, its not its not the first time i grunting one day, mom, im gonna get who im gonna get someone new to run my bleep and i tell you this all the time, and you never change. Im not gonna read this to you, but these are the businesses that your family is involved in right now, businesses youve created. There are so many of them. I mean, television shows, cosmetics, clothing lines, all this stuff. At a point, is it dangerous to have a business with a family where you lose kind of the core of, you know this is my family versus these are my Business Partners . No. You dont. Not in my case. Ive never felt so excited about doing things with my family, and then on the flip side, never felt so close to my family. You are their manager. Mmhmm. And you get a cut of what they make as a manager. I do. Have you ever thought about what might happen if one of them says, mom, youre fired. I have. Thats actually happened in the very beginning. I probably got fired a few times. You know, but for a day. Until kim started doing it on her own and went, never mind. I love you. Hi youve reached the office of kris jenner, Kim Kardashians former manager. Mom if youd like to get a hold of my ungrateful daughter, mom. You can call her on her personal and private cell phone. But what if it really happens . What if one of them says, look, ive gotta do this on my own, or you have a conflict and one of them does this, because it happens in business . Mmhmm. And then you have to maintain the relationship of parent and child. I dont first of all, if that happens, and who knows . Maybe someday it will. But if that happens, i think that i am i am very levelheaded and im a businesswoman, and theyve gotta do whats best for them. Im obsessed with politics, and im thinking 700 million followers who are influenced by you. Have you ever thought of using that to push a political agenda . Because you could probably get people elected and voted out of office, if you really put your mind to it. I think we certainly could make a difference in other areas, but right now my focus is on philanthropy for the kids and teaching them how to give back. Can we take that as a maybe . Okay. Im not gonna ask you about your kids, cause Everybody Knows about your kids. Your kids are famous. So im gonna ask you questions okay. That i dont know about. Who are you the tightest with .

These are my little gifts that i got that my kids have made me over the years, like, for mothers day and for, you know, holidays, and for my birthday, at school. That says, dear mom, i love you and hope you have a good mothers day. Love, kim. In 1991. Oh, wow. Isnt that cute . I think that so many people and i am part of this that so many people think, my god, the kardashians are a business now. But looking beyond the business, i cant think of a family in hollywood that i know of that is as tight and loving as yours. Its an amazing family. Kris im really blessed. So lucky and so much love. Were all so supportive of one another. We help each other. You know, through thick and thin. Theres good days and bad days, and were always there to build each other up. And i think thats what you have to do. Dear lord jesus, thank you for this food that we have in front of us, our safety and our lives. In jesus name, amen. All amen. You are a great prayer giver. I know. Shes very monotone with jesus. Im not gonna ask you about your kids, cause Everybody Knows about your kids. Your kids are famous. So im gonna ask you questions okay. That i dont know about. Okay. And i know a lot about your kids. Okay. Yeah, you do. The most ambitious of all of them. Kim. Why . I think kim well, these days its probably kim and kylie. But kim is definitely an entrepreneur at heart. Shes always got a new idea, and a new business she wants to create, and is very excited about life. My day starts at 4 00 am and the first person im gonna hear from is kim. Best business sense . Best business sense of the kids . Mmhmm. Gosh. I dont know. Maybe kylie. Harvey i thought you were gonna say that. Kris yeah, i think kylie. Harvey shes pretty amazing. Kris she really surprised me. Who enjoys the spotlight the most . The spotlight . Not kendall, not kylie. Kourtney and khloe really probably kim. Probably kim. She enjoys it in a good way, i think a healthy way. She knows, you know, when she wants to talk about something, and shes shes very smart about it. So far ive guessed right on everyone. Okay, good. Okay. Good. I feel like were on a game show. This may this may be problematic for you to answer. Who are you the tightest with . It depends on the day. Overall. Overall. Overall. Youre so smart. You know, its equally like, right now it happens to be i think khloe, because she just had a baby. Harvey right. Kris so ive been, you know, communicating with her like 12 times a day. Rob has had some issues over the years with weight and depression and im wondering because hes the sole male, kris uhhuh. Harvey does that play into this at all . I think he had a really the hardest time when his dad died. And i think that that really had an effect on him. And then hes been through some ups and downs with relationships, and i think rob is hes first of all, hes doing great and hes such a great kid, but hes very sensitive, you know, and takes so much to heart. I just want my baby to learn the type of, like, armenian values that, like, dad always kind of put onto us. I wanna be like my dad and do the things that we did. You know, cooking and food and family. Hes doing better . Good. Hes yeah. He is. How are you gonna feel when this really becomes an empty nest . Because parents worry about that, but theyve moved out but they really havent moved out, have they . They never move out. They always come back. But heres the thing. I got this all figured out now. The secret sauce is grandchildren. Because now i have nine grandchildren. So thats six kids, nine grandchildren. Thats a lot of human beings. Harvey you got them tethered to this house. Kris yeah. both laugh they are not going anywhere, and that makes me really, really happy. Everybody talks about kims sex tape. That was a hard thing to go through. It was devastating. They say that made you famous. Does that bother you . Im part of a community of problem solvers. We make ideas grow. From an everyday solution. To one that can take on a bigger challenge.

Since were obviously lost, im rescheduling my Xfinity Customer Service appointment. Ah, relax. I got this. Which gps are you using anyway . A Little Something called instinct. Been using it for years. Yeah, thats what im afraid of. He knows exactly where were going. My whole body is a compass. Oh boy. The my account app makes todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Not my thing. Some people say thats ridiculous. I dress how i feel. Yesterday i felt bold with boundless energy. This morning i woke up calm and unbreakable. Tomorrow . Who knows. Age is just an illusion. How you show up for the world, thats whats real. Whats your idea . I put it out there with a godaddy website. Make the world you want. The object for this is the house, and kind of where were sitting right now, too, because theres a lot of stuff that goes down when you have a big family. And theres drama on a daily. Dont be bleep rude kourtney are you kidding me . I swear to god. Kourtney stop dont bleep throw the thing on me. What are you doing . Ill bleep hurt you. Dont do that. Oh, my god bleep bitch. Theres a lot of drama in our family, as you guys well know. So, this is where everybody comes to talk it out, hug it out, you know, reconvene, relax, wind down, have a barbecue, go swimming. Just have a family powwow, an emergency family meeting. Can i go through some of those stumbles with you . Okay. How fun festive. Everybody talks about kims sex tape, and they say that made you famous. Does that bother you . You know, i cant control what other people say, and obviously that was a hard thing to go through. The thing i learned from that is that you can get through anything as a family. And i think that that, you know, that was obviously a real hard time for any mom. It was devastating. You know, their life in front of the cameras kims wedding to Kris Humphries on television, specials. I pronounce you husband and wife. Kris, you may kiss your bride. cheers and applause 72 days later, it blew up, kris yeah. Harvey and got really ugly. Yeah. And that got an enormous amount of publicity. It did. And it was that mustve been tough. It was really tough. It was another hard time to go through where kim was devastated, you know, about how it all played out. I fell in love with a guy and, like, its not what i thought it would be. Everyone sees im a different person. Im such a bitch, like, im just not myself, and im not happy. It happened way too fast. I didnt know him. She was here with me, and, you know, again, just trying to get through a really bad time together. And she stayed here, and things just happened to work themselves out. But, you know, as they do. But you just have to get through it and hopefully learn from the experience. I, lamar. Give you this ring. Give you this ring. As a promise and symbol. Lamar as a promise and symbol. Of my heart and faithfulness. Of my heart and faithfulness. And each day of my life. And each day of my life. I will be faithful to you. I will be faithful to you. Harvey when khloe married lamar, it happened in a nanosecond. It did. Yeah. Nine days. Did that concern you . Um. Actually, it didnt. It felt so natural for the two of them. I fell totally in love with lamar. I mean, it was such a great time in all of our lives, and the whole thing, to have that end the way it did was obviously very sad for all of us. You know, especially me because i really believed in him, but, you know, addiction is a terrible thing, and i didnt know anything about it really. It broke my heart. Just broke my heart, just because of the downfall of what happened. I think that khloe is less stressed out because shes here and she can be at the hospital every day, and maybe still sleep at home. Well, i dont think she was leaving his side. She wouldve never left. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Thats what im saying. So its better. And now khloe has, you know at the time were talking, dealing with a lot of fallout with tristan. Maybe your family should swear off basketball players. both laugh kris well, what i do know is that shes so in love with her daughter and her little girl, and, you know, shes doing her best trying to figure out, you know, what being a mom is like, and shes got her focus on her daughter. Interested in kanye, who nobody wouldve predicted, before he married kim, that he would become, you know, such a, you know, doting father and husband. Just it was surprising to a lot of people. Kris hes the best. Hes the best dad and hes a doting father. Loves those kids more than anything. Loves kim. They have a great relationship. They live across the street. When he had his medical issues, um, a couple of years ago, your family really rallied around him. Kris always. Harvey in my other in my other job, watching that, i dont know how he wouldve done without you guys. You know what . I think were just all lucky, and i just keep saying this, but just extremely blessed to have each other. I mean, this is you know, you have, one beautiful, short life, and so you get through it the best you can, and when you have one another to share it with, and to be so close to, you know, theres theres no other option for us. Were just there when we need each other. And then finally, kris, youve had so many successes. Well, you have. I mean, youve had i dont know. The one thing i can think of that didnt work out great was the talk show you tried. Announcer ladies and gentlemen, kris jenner cheers and applause hi, everybody the talk show was always my dream. It was a summer fillin for another show that had got taken off the air, and i remember arriving to work and there my name was on the side of the building. I was like, oh, my god this is really happening. I had the time of my life. I really you were on the talk show. Kris, you put me in a dunk tank. One laughs kris well, thats where you belonged at the time, harvey. Thats where you belonged that day. Youve had a lot of scary situations with stalkers. One of the toughest things about being a celebrity is all the security that we now have to have. Kims robbery in paris, which was so hard. That taught us a lot of lessons. Kims robbery in paris, which was so hard. And i like to question your im yoevery move. N law. Like this left turn. Its the next one. You always drive this slow . How did you make someone i love . That must be why youre always so late. I do not speed. And thats saving me cash with drivewise. My son, he did say that you were the safe option. And thats the nicest thing you ever said to me. So get allstate. Stop bossing. Where good drivers save 40 for avoiding mayhem, like me. This is my sons favorite color, you should try it. [mayhem] you always drive like an old lady . [tina] youre an old lady. brakes screeching okay. So, today youre going to leave your phone with a guy named flip. ding but its more than your phone, its your business, your customer data, your sales figures. And who can forget, those happy hour selfies . Not flip. honking, gasping this isnt working. Introducing samsung Business Security solutions, with knox software.

This is my pride and joy. Her first vogue cover. Its really beautiful. Isnt it great . Yeah. This was one of her biggest accomplishments as a model, working with vogue and anna wintour, and when i saw this i cried. I just cried. It was just like her dream come true. And this is kendall jenner, the face that launched a billion likes. Did you ever dream about being a celebrity as a kid . I didnt. I just dreamed about being a mom. Hmm. It didnt really occur to me until bruce and i got married and we started doing infomercials, and that was a lot of fun. Well, i knew we were coming to barcelona, and i wanted to look my best. So i ate a sensible diet, worked out on the stepper at home, or in the office for about 15 minutes a day. Whats the biggest perk of being a celebrity . The biggest perk oh, my goodness i mean, listen. Im not gonna lie. It really doesnt make me sad not to stand in line at disneyland. I knew you were gonna say that. I knew you were gonna say that. Im not gonna lie. I love that part. Or, you know, having a little bit of special treatment when you have a party for 15, you know, for dinner. Whats the biggest pitfall . I think for me and my family, the pitfall and the negativity around the social media stuff. I think for me its bullies, people that judge unfairly when they dont even know you. Youve had a lot of scary situations with stalkers, where people have come on to your property. Yeah. Thats probably the worst. Youre right. Thats the worst part of you know, thats interesting, because i block that kind of stuff. I try not to focus on all that stuff, but one of the toughest things about being a celebrity is all the security that we now have to have, which is extraordinary. And all the times that somebody has tried to, you know, break into a house. Kims robbery in paris, which was so hard, that i still havent been back. You know, and that was my favorite one of my favorite cities in the world. What i think happened now, after, like, thinking about it so much, is that there was probably a group of guys that were following us the entire trip. I was snapchatting that everyone was going out, and that i was there by myself. Kim has been so strong for the rest of us, but that taught us a lot of lessons. Its all replaceable. None of it matters. Just you. Do you ever just wanna go out looking like crap . Yes yes, i do, actually. Funny you should mention that. I would love to do that. But you really cant, can you . Well, you know. Its kind of offbrand. Its no, its not that its offbrand. Heres what happens. If i go, like, to the market, and i have no makeup on and my sweats, then you have all those people who go, will you just take one picture . And then youve got this picture, right. Because of the negativity, like posted on the internet going, doesnt kris jenner look like bleep today . Or, you know, shes old, or, you know i dont want any negative stuff, so thats kind of a drag. You have used your celebrity, and your family has, to do some pretty great things. And youre doing something in watts right now yes. Thats really meaningful. Yeah, at the Watts Community center. Thank you guys all so much for welcoming us into your community. And so were so proud that you guys get to see really all the Amazing Things my mom and corey have done to set up this center. Kris justin, who i met and just fell in love with, because he took a situation and a space, down in watts in los angeles that all these kids and families depended on, especially for afterschool activities, and the community and the city, you know, were gonna take it away, because of funding. So, our my passion right now is refurbishing the community center, which weve got a real good start on, and now we wanna build a baseball field, and a playground, and, you know, the skys the limit. So, were getting together some friends and hopefully pull this together. But its such a great cause, and, you know, every one of us has that, which i love about my family, is everybodys got something that theyre really passionate about that they really wanna make a difference. I am so happy and honored that you did this with me, and i really mean that. Thank you, harvey. I really, really mean that. Thank you for doing this. Thank you. Thank you so much. Love you.
