is his newborn running the camera? >> bill. bill, as somebody who -- how -- does it hurt? >> that's what she said. >> it does hurt. it does sting a little bit. but she has such a gentle bedside manner. you know what's amazing about, and anderson knows this because he is obsessed with bang bang, this shop is the coolest tattoo shop, hands down, in the world. the founder did rihanna, before she blew up. and as a result, everything you see on justin bieber was done in this shop. and she was recruited from austria, and was lured to new york to do this kind of work. so i have the best of the best we're working on something special that we are going to reveal in just a second. but how's the pandemic been for you? you can't really socially distant. >> no the really. our shop was closed for about five months and slowly opened when we can make sure we can keep distance. >> yeah, for sure. >> so, we were closed for a couple months. but i think our team did a pretty good job like keeping everybody safe, keeping our clients safe. >> they were telling me that everybody, because they were stuck at home, they were flooding their inbox here with their tattoo ideas. people are finally like i want to get this tattoo. and so, when things finally can open up and they get people in here. but, it's not -- i didn't go with the gloria borger, full-back tattoo. i think that's obvious, so far. >> all right. okay. >> it's a steely. the steely is in the running. >> we'll check in with you, after the new year, and we will see the finished product. >> can't wait. you look very calm, so i think the xanax is -- is working. coming up next. the icon, the global superstar, the queen of christmas, mariah carey joins us, live. we'll be right back. it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute?

winston is available for adoption. >> okay. >> by the way, randi, i've already gotten -- i've already gotten a couple dms on instagram from people asking about specific dogs. so, anybody who wants to adopt a dog should go to bdrr.org. >> that's what is going on in your dms? >> yeah. i've been reading some of the dms. yes. you think -- you think my dms should be more exciting than that? >> i think they are more exciting. >> no. >> oh, my god. the dogs look so cute, though, in their -- in their outfits. >> look at this one, right here. but they're getting tired, and the puppies really do need to go to bed. so we are going to do a doggy drop a little early. look up there at the disco ball. we are going to drop a little earlier than you guys, in times square. >> okay. here it comes. >> my god. you know, i did a wig drop on "watch what happens live," years ago. and now, we have got a dog drop. there is a dog on a disco ball being lowered in palm beach county. >> that's not an actual dog, just for -- >> oh, why? oh, it's a stuffed dog? >> cuteness overload. >> oh, my gosh. look at those puppies. >> as the ball comes down, it is this cuteness overload. we are waking them up. they are sound asleep here. i mean, you don't want to take these guys home, i don't know. puppy new year, little fellas. >> happy new year. hope they all get adopted. bdrr.org, if you want to adopt one of them. they're so cute. >> thank you so much, randi, and now, it's a tradition for our new year's eve show. >> mariah carey is coming up, by the way. >> yes, one even coronavirus cannot disrupt. it is good night 2020. anderson, let's do this. >> good night, 2020. presidential election. the less said, the better. good night listening to taylor's folklo folklore wrapped into a cardigan sweater. >> good night, fauci. good night, birx. good night. now, please, wear a mask, it works. >> true. good night vaccines, moderna, astrazeneca, and pfizer. good night hoarding of tp, wipes, and sanitizer. >> good night four seasons total landscaping. good night sourdough we're anxiously baking. >> good night to a year living in sweats. good night to joe exotic and his terrifying pets. >> good night, ina garten's giant cosmo. good night, chris and andrew cuomo. >> right. good night, quibby. oh, gone too soon. >> i had a show. >> didn't see it. on zoom. >> good night, cancelled plans. good night, stadium with cardboard fans. >> good night, to a breakneck news cycle, both uplifting and dire. and good night, 2020, you total dumpster fire. >> amen. isn't that the truth?

we are surviving and it's flawless down here. i love you. >> sushi looks flawless, and wearing a face mask. >> a visor. >> a visor. >> the housewives. some of the housewives love a visor because it doesn't fuss with the makeup. >> let's go back to richard quest, who got married, i didn't realize. congratulations, richard. i didn't know that. >> outfit change. costume change. >> look at that. how is that for you? >> you look great. >> thank you. we are here, on the street. with me, sandra. this nurse has the distinction of being the first person vaccinated in the country. how are you feeling? >> fantastic. thank you. >> all went well. have you had the second vaccination? >> not yet. i'll have it next week, and i'm looking forward to it. >> wow. congratulations. and you're here tonight. >> i'm here tonight, celebrating. >> what's your message tonight? >> my message is that, you know, 2020 was a really challenging year. we were hit hard, but we're going to come back stronger. and i wish, for the world, a healthy and strong, new year. >> look straight into there. and tell us, anybody who is thinking about or doubts about being vaccinated. >> follow the science. let the science be your guide. use me as a testament that, you know, the vaccine is safe. and i wish you all a happy, new year. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> the whole place, guys. in fact, behind, you can't see me but i am behind you now. the whole place is full of first responders. congratulations. good to see you. midnight's on its way. we will be here at midnight. >> yes. >> absolutely. >> thank you, richard. it's so great. we have -- we have to heed her words, by the way. listen to what she says. she knows what she is talking about. our next guest is the best-selling female artist of all time with 19 number-one singles, 18 of which she co-wrote, by the way. more than any solo artist, in history. in 2020 she became a number one "new york times" best-selling author. and she just released the most widely watched apple tv event around the world. mariah carey's christmas special. her classic. this is amazing. her classic "all i want for christmas is you" returned to number one on billboard's hot 100. claimed a new number one peak on the global chart. it also just became spotify's most streamed song in one day, ever. breaking her own guinness world records. she has the most billboard weeks at number one than any other artist. not just christmas but her entire career. more than the beatles, rihanna, madonna. we are joined now, live, from aspen, colorado. global superstar, marie yah car >> mariah, you're on fire. >> we feel good. we're lubricated. >> we are so happy you're here. >> you had a huge year. i mean, all of those accomplishments. do you have a personal highlight from the year? >> well, first of all, it's great to be here with you guys. the year, as we all know, has been challenging, to say the least. but i was really happy to be able to connect with, as i call them, the lamily. they call themselves. and obviously, the book having the success and the critical acclaim that it's had, it's been my whole life's journey to actually write the book, be able to share my weird life story with everybody. and i think it's brought, just in terms of like me, as an artist, closer to a lot of people who maybe didn't get me. or didn't understand, you know, my dysfunctional upbringing, and how that transcended things for me. as a kid, a broke, little, biracial girl, who grew up with nothing. and then, being able to have the type of things you are talking about with this year. but obviously, the highlight is now, because we're leaving 2020 and, hopefully, having a -- having a better experience for us all, you know? and, anderson, i feel like i saw you every day because all i did was watch cnn, this entire time. >> wow. i'm -- i'm thrilled by that. i read your book, and i got to say. i mean, it's so -- i'm friends with angela davis. and it was so well written, and story is so incredible. it was such a good, powerful book. it wasn't -- i didn't know what to expect, and i was just blown away by it. reviewers were, as well. it's a number one best-seller. congratulations on that. it's such a huge accomplishment. how do you celebrate new year's eve? is it a moment? >> i mean, typically, it's a moment. i just want to speak to the fact, yay, makayla angela davis. i know you guys used to work together for a minute. she is amazing, and we had the best creative experience working on this book. i am kind of like -- okay, always, for new year's eve, it's a moment. we've had good moments, we've had bad moments. but they are what they are. this year, we're here, just me and my family. very, very close family unit. we have been together this whole time, during covid. just figuring it out. how to like exist and be festive during these times. so, here we are. i hope you guys like it, what we created for you. you know, just making it -- making it fun. we can't be with you. we candidn't leave new york for like five months, me and the kids. so i kind of feel a little bit detached from my roots. but i always love being in aspen, especially for christmas. by the way, i have not let christmas die, yet. everybody wants to kill me because the christmas music is still on, 24/7. >> nor should it. >> i am listening to nat king cole, as it snows. i feel like i got a bonus, this year. you know, extended christmas. >> i got to -- i got to ask you about "all i want for christmas is you." because it broke -- it keeps breaking so many records. and so many records and the spotify thing, the most streamed song, ever, in a day on spotify. when you recorded "all i want for christmas is you," did you have a sense that it was going to live for so long? because it's one of those songs that you listen to, and it still sounds like a brand new song. it's as fresh, every time as you listen to it, as the first time. >> thank you. well, first of all, i hate to always say this. but as a writer, i wrote that song and -- >> i know. >> -- when i think about it -- yeah but, you know, you said recorded, so i just had to clarify for the folks at home. >> as you should. >> andy, you know. no, but i'm really proud of it in terms of that. no, but really. it's because when i first wrote it, i was like i just want to write about whatever makes me feel -- what i wanted to hear as a little kid. when i wanted my christmases to be fun and festive and they weren't, necessarily. you know what i mean? so, that's why, as i've grown, i feel like i've grown up with it, too. you know, i was kind of little when i first wrote it. littler. many ways. but, yeah. i just -- i've grown to love it more and more, i think because i've experienced life with it, as -- as a listener but, also, as someone that it's really my -- i put everything into it. so, i never knew it was going to be this big. but i'm thankful. i know that much. >> yeah. >> you released the rarities from -- tell us about it. >> okay. so -- >> yeah. it's -- we got -- we got j. lo behind us, actually. ariana grande, she said in her netflix documentary, she got so emotional talking about what an influence you were for her and how she learned to sing by mimicking you. now, you came out with a song with her. it was so great seeing the two of you together, on your christmas special. talk to me about that. >> so, that was amazing. the christmas special was an incredible moment working with apple and working with all the folks who -- who were there. i loved working with ariana and j.hud. i thought it would be cute for us to do a girl-group thing with it. so, i rearranged it and how it was going to go and we filmed it. by the way, yay, apple, apple tv plus. because just getting through, like we had the concept to do the special in february. i had a year before. but -- and then, being able to do it during covid, film it. we had to -- we all had to be tested every day. everybody was on set, like, who could be wearing shields and masks, and everything. for the people at home, the only reason i don't have a mask on right now is because my shield is right over there. i asked for it but they didn't give it to me. but everybody has their mask, the shield, all of that. i would just say thank you to everybody who participated in the special because we've made it through the rain. and like, so glad for the success of that. and looking forward to -- to more to come, and just hope -- hopeful for a way better 2021 for the world. you know what i mean? >> yeah. what -- what is your wish for -- for everybody out there? i mean, a lot of folks have had a really tough year. it's going to be a tough year for a long time, this year. there is, obviously, a vaccine coming. hope, on the horizon. what's your hope for the new year? >> well, i think it's everybody's -- i mean, i would imagine it's everybody's hope, healing for our country, for the world. unity. we've seen so much despair, this past year, which has always been sort of there. always been there, underneath the surface. and i was grateful to be able to release my memoir, which dealt with so many issues of race and identity. and, you know, just classism and just things that i've gone through as -- as a human being. and then, of course, as a celebrity, whatever that means. and i think, you know, all of us have kind of come together, a little bit more, this year. and my hope or wish is that we continue to do so. obviously, we all are ready for a new moment, in terms of being hopeful about the vaccine and being hopeful for all those -- and really thinking about and wishing just the best of -- of -- of everything for those who have been affected by -- by covid. those who went through so much pain, and who are still going through so much pain. we're celebrating. we're festive. but i think we're hopeful for better times. >> i -- you know, you mentioned the memoir. >> am i seeing that? >> no, no, the ball is not dropping, yet. i have to ask you. what was -- you know, you -- you were so revealing in the memoir. and people thought that they knew so much about you. what -- what -- was there one thing that you think people took away from the memoir, that they didn't know about you or were surprised about you? >> i don't know that there's one thing. i think there are many things, andy. >> was a lot. yeah. yeah. >> there is a lot. again, i put so much into it. and then, the world turned upside down. and we were dealing with these very timely issues. that people were like, oh, why are you, suddenly, talking about this now? but as you know, this has been a labor of love. we worked on the book for a good two and a half, three years, prior to it coming out. and then, it was just, all of a sudden, this kind of relief but, also, i didn't want people to be like oh, now, she wants to jumpen jump on this bandwagon or whatever. no, it's hard to encapsulate a lifetime in a ten-minute interview. you know, we're not talking about serious issues because you don't want to be debbie downer. it's bad enough i'm not even having a splash with you guys, right now. >> well, you need to have a splash with us right now. >> somebody. >> yes! get -- get the girl a splash. >> without splashes. >> i know. i need -- i need you to have a smas splash. tell me what will happen for the rest of the night for you, mariah? how will you ring in the new year in aspen? >> well, there is a 10:00 p.m. curfew that i just got an alert on my phone about. yeah. yeah. no, it's pretty surreal here, and i have never seen it so empty in the streets and stuff . don't act like you didn't have one sitting around. >> we had plenty. >> i've been waiting for you guys. i had like three coffees. i was like, let me be alert. and i'm sorry it's always so hard to not cut everybody off and to, you know, have a communicative moment. i've fallen victim to that many times. but anyway, for tonight we're going to just ring in the new year here, small group, just family and super close, people that are close to us. again, it's been a year of kind of isolation. >> yeah. >> when this is all over, are you, are you thinking, god, i'd love to go back on some huge world tour. i would love to go back to vegas. i know it's so in your blood to perform. is there one performance moment that you're looking forward to? >> you know what's -- >> superbowl halftime show maybe? >> what i was going to say is, of course, i miss seeing my fans and being close. that's one of the things i talk about in the memoir as well, just my relationship with my fans. a lot of people talk that talk, but for me, the chapter is called "a family" and that's what they've become for me because it's not just, here i am, you know, you know, listen to me on my records, look at me on the video, whatever. it's kind of like they validated my existence. i was that little kid that felt like i didn't belong anywhere. what was the exact question, what do i miss going on tour? of course. >> no, no, are you going to tour -- yeah. >> nobody knows who is touring, what's happening. i'm thankful that i wrote -- was able to put out the book. next year, this coming year, ten minutes from now, the new year, we are talking about the film, adaptation of the memoir. yes, darling, conversations about that, with some exciting talented, talented people and getting into all of that because for me, i love that. i do love the behind the scenes stuff. but i miss my fans, like the proximity to my fans that i had before when i was able to tour, whatever. but we all do. so we're going to all be banded together and hope for a better 2021, hope for the best for all of us. if any of my lambs are watching, i love you guys. i miss you so much. thanks for having an historic christmas with me this year. and now it's new year's, honey, and we're raring to go with some fresh energy and healing moments. >> amen. well, mariah, thank you. that was actually kind of a great benediction into 2021. you're an iconic performer. thank you so much, mariah carey. cheers to you and happy 2021. >> we hope you have a healthy and happy 2021, mariah. >> thank you. >> same to you guys. happy new year! >> thank you so much. wow. >> mariah carey. 7 minutes to go. >> 7 minutes to go. >> the end of 2020. >> i have to say when i walked into times square tonight, i thought it was so odd -- >> yeah. >> -- that there were so few people here. but there weirdly is -- >> there's an intimacy and an energy to it that is unique. >> sweetie, now you have to wipe your nose. remember when you were on me about it? now i'm giving it back to you. >> there is an intimacy and an energy, as you just said, around here. >> does ryan seacrest have anybody saying to him, you have to wipe your nose, sweetie. probably not. probably not. >> we do this for each other. >> but it is unique and incredibly appropriate that it's first responders, it's nurses and doctors and health care workers who are here, and they're here with their families. it's nice. >> yeah. um, how are your heating apparatus that you're wearing -- >> i could not be happier. >> really?
