Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - I was 22 years old when you chose me to sit next to you on The View and you changed my life forever. When we first met you asked me who the 3 most important people of the last century were. I told you Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and Madonna. You laughed out loud and said, “You can’t be serious. You are going to be perfect for our show.” You taught me everything I know about interviewing people and about doing live TV. You taught me how to be professional on a set and in just about any life situation I could ever be in. I learned so much simply by watching you and being in your presence. You always gave 100 percent and you expected nothing less from any of us. You are and you will forever be my fairy godmother and my hero. You are THE reason any female journalist and any female tv personality for that matter has the opportunities they have today. You broke glass ceilings. You paved the way. You didn’t accept things simply for how they were so you changed them. We as women owe you so much. But I in particular, owe you everything. Thank you for taking a chance on a young Greek immigrant girl studying journalism at NYU. You are a legend. You are an icon. And you were also an amazingly funny, charming, witty friend. You will be so missed. May you rest in peace and pride. You were one of one Barbara Walters and I love you dearly. Until we meet again. 🙏🏻💔

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - I am so proud to share with everyone that on February 27th, 2024 I received my Greek Passport from the Consul Generals Office in Los Angeles. This was a long arduous process that started roughly 18 years ago at the incessant encouragement of a very dear wise friend. There were lots of twists & turns over the years, things got put on hold, but finally in the last 2 years with numerous trips to government offices in Greece and the unwavering help of my uncle, I collected all of the necessary documents for Greek Passport Eligibility. To say that I am now an official Greek Passport holder fills my heart beyond words. This little book is not just a government document to me. It represents so much more. Ya see, the reason I was having such a hard time being “eligible” was because I am the first person in my entire family to be born in America. My mom, my dad, my sister and my brother were all born in Greece. I was the “oops” baby once they got to the USA 🤪. My whole family has proof of birth documents, baptismal certificates, last place of residence, etc. I on the other hand, didn’t exist anywhere on paper in Greece. Despite having spent nearly every single summer since I was 5 years old there, there was no documentation of my existence. Why would there be, right? After all, I’m American. I was born here and I live here. And why is this even important to begin with? (I’ll get to that in a minute) While yes, I am very American…I’m ALSO very Greek. Just ask my DNA! 😄 My story is continued in comments below: 👇

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - “She single-handedly changed my life,” former #TheView co-host @iamdebbiem says of Barbara Walters.
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - 💔😔RIP Bob Weir, king of the greatest Jam Band ever. I was SO sad to hear this today. The Grateful Dead was a huge part of my youth. For as much as I loved pop music, I also equally loved the folksy blues and blue grass sound of The Dead. The fun laid back easy vibe really spoke to me (and still does) and the lyrics to the songs are epic! I was first introduced to them as a young kid by my older sister’s boyfriend, who would later become my brother in law. He would always play Dead songs in his car and he had all the cool bootleg cassette tapes from the different shows too. I remember thinking that was SO cool! From then on I was hooked. I have so many core memories of going to Dead shows in high school and well into my adult life (my last show was 4 years ago) with my best childhood friend Ann. One time our car got towed at an RFK stadium show but somehow by the grace of God and the kind hearts of some Deadheads we made it back home to Richmond by midnight and even to school the next day! 🤪 About 11 or 12 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Bob at a wedding. I was short of breath, my heart was racing and my palms were sweating. This man and his music had been the backdrop for so much of my youth. Despite my nerves, I had to speak to him. So, I walked up to him while he was holding court with a group of some of his musician friends, I shook his hand and said, “Hi I’m Debbie and I am a huge fan.” He said you’re way too young to be a fan of the Dead. I told him how I first heard his music when I was about 10 years old and how his music always put a smile on my face. He couldn’t have been kinder. He invited me to chat with him and his friends for a few minutes. Then before I turned to go back to my table I told him he was the coolest, thanked him for making my childhood dreams come true and told him he was still as handsome as ever. As I walked away, I heard him chuckle and say to his buddies, “I still got it fellas.” It made me laugh out loud. That will forever be one of my favorite experiences in life and I am forever “grateful.” He will always be a musical genius and the coolest rock star ever! May you continue to make beautiful music in heaven Bob🕊️🌹

I sometimes want to freeze time and keep you my little girl forever but with each passing day you get bigger, and smarter, and wiser and more independent and my heart breaks a little. I love watching your excitement as you discover the beauty and the wonderment of the world. I love your never ending curiosity. I love your humor. I love your strength. I love your passion. I even love it when you challenge me. Thank you for helping teach me lessons that I still need to learn. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. I love you my little angel face monkey. To the moon and to the stars and to the sun and to the whole universe and back. Wow…I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next ten years.
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - A few of my favorite Halloween costumes over the last couple of years. I was so obsessed with my Cruella De Vil costume that I literally wore it all week wherever I went. And I equally loved when I was Sally from “Nightmare Before Christmas”. Except right after we shot that show, I had to get on a plane to fly to NYC to interview Barbara Walters and getting that blue paint off of my face and body was not easy. I still had some blue on me during the BW interview. 😂. Our hair, makeup and wardrobe team on Home and Family were second to none. @kdestyle @francinevaldivia @janbping killed it with these looks. And I have to say, the final picture in this series seems very appropriate. Almost a bit of foreshadowing. Look closely at the tombstone 😳🤪😉 😂 #halloween #halloweencostume #halloweenmakeup

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Taking your front door from BASIC ➡️ BEAUTIFUL. I had a simple wreath hanging on the door left over from Christmas decorations and I didn’t want to put it away. Every day I would look at it and it would speak to me. It would say please don’t put me back in the boxes in the garage with the others until next year. So I decided I would transform this plain green wreath into a pink showstopper for Valentines Day. I went to the art store and got 6 different colors of pink paint (different shades and different textures), some silk flowers, some butcher paper and some gloves and got to work. After doing a quick test on the back to make sure it would work I started painting away. I became OBSESSED with the hot pink paint. I am definitely going to be using that more this month. The whole project took all of 20 minutes and made such an impact on my front door. It’s almost like I worked for a lifestyle show for 10 years or something. @homeandfamilytv 😉 Happy month of LOVE everyone!! Tell your people you love them a little extra starting today💖 #happyvalentinesday #valentinesday #love #upcycle #levelup
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Happy International Women’s Day to all of the lovely ladies out there!!! Before @madonna before @beyonce before @mileycyrus there were these two. Cher and Raquel telling it like it is Live in 1975. This never gets old! Enjoy!! #respect @cher #raquelwelch
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - I got home to a HUGE package at my front door today and was so excited!!! My good friend and former producer at Home and Family Michaelan Mena @artbymichaelanmena ( go give her some love with a follow) sent me the most gorgeous one of a kind custom piece of art. As a side hustle Michaelan has been creating textured abstract art….but truthfully she’s too good for this to be a side hustle. I am so blown away and impressed by her talent and so honored that she created this gorgeous piece of art specifically for me. When I love something I want to share it with the whole world so everyone else can appreciate it too. She is available for commissioned pieces or you can order one from her collection at artbymichaelanmena.com. So proud of you Michaelan!! Hopefully you’ll still have time to be my producer 😜🥰
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - This Is Us!!! So great having dinner and catching up with my very first TV sisters for @theviewabc 25th year reunion special shoot. There can only ever be one first… and that was us! It’s like we hadn’t missed a beat. If you know…you know!!! Take a little time to enjoy THIS original View everyone!
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - 🚨RED ALERT🚨 Be ready to have your mind BLOWN 🤯! So my sister in law told me about this scandalous Starbucks situation that I just had to try for myself. Apparently a Venti cup of coffee is also the EXACT same as a Grande and a Tall, if you ask for room for milk in the cup. I forgot to ask for room for milk but guess what? It was still pretty much accurate with the exception of a few sips. Gotta be honest…I feel a little bamboozled by the marketing of it all but I still love my @starbucks coffee. You guys try it for yourself!!! You won’t believe it!!!! 😳

Lotsa Hair 💇‍♀️ Lotsa Glam✨ Lotsa Jewels💎 Lotsa Smiles 😁 And LOTSA GOOD TIMES 💃🏼 (Maybe too good 😳…Thank God there was no social media back then 🤪😂) I can confidently and unequivocally say that no one has ever done a red carpet better than we did back in the day on The Daily 10 on @enews and perhaps never will again. We got away with saying and asking just about anything we wanted to. These days it wouldn’t fly because people are now too easily offended by everything😝. Shout out to my TV family for life. Love you guys @iamcattsadler @selema @benlyons What a fun time that was!!! #babycatt (kitten🐱) #babyme

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - ~Bill Geddie~Boss, Mentor, Friend, Colleague, Producing Partner I can’t believe I am writing these words. We texted 3 days ago. How is this possible? I am having a hard time making sense of any of this. I have known you for more years of my life than I have not. You started out as my boss who I was so in awe of. You and Barbara took a chance on me for your major network show that would change the face of daytime tv forever. You believed in me and encouraged me when I was a 21 year old kid at NYU and did not believe in myself or my abilities. You changed the trajectory of my life FOREVER. I listened to you and Barbara’s every word and only ever wanted to make both of you proud of me. Over the years our relationship grew from mentor to friend, to mutual respect and admiration as colleagues, to in the last 3 years collaborators and producing partners. One of the greatest joys of my career has been reconnecting with you as partners and beginning to create what we both knew was going to be TV gold. When I first approached you, you were hesitant but you said if anyone could pull you out of retirement it would be me. Those words meant the world to me. You told me how proud you were of my career and what a great career it has been and that you always knew you were right about me despite my unceremonious firing from the View years before. You told me how sorry you were and how sad you were to have to be the henchman. Time heals all wounds. Especially when the person doing the firing was as a kind hearted and fair a person as you were. You have to be pretty awesome a human for someone to still adore and respect you after an experience like that. That speaks volumes about who you were and who you will always be in my heart and my mind. The last few years of zoom calls and texts and studio meetings that you would drive in from your amazing life in the desert for have been so fun and heart warming. I felt like we had come full circle and we were finally home again. You would make me laugh out loud with you jokes and your wit and your no bullshit approach to everything. I was so so so happy to be in your presence again. And now this…..How? Why?caption continued ⬇️

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Happy heavenly birthday to the greatest man I have ever known. I love you baba and I miss you every single day. I talk to you often and I know you can hear me… I just wish I could hear your voice back. That loud boisterous larger than life voice that I used to be embarrassed of as a teenager. I’d say, “Baba please stop being so loud in public places..it’s so embarrassing.” And you would immediately and purposefully get louder and say in your thick Greek accent, “I don’t care what anyone think. I’m Greek damnit. This is how we talk. They don’t like it. I don’t care.” Although in those moments I was mortified…the lessons that you taught me (intentional or unintentional) will last a lifetime. It was in those moments that I learned that it doesn’t really matter too much what the people who don’t know you think of you. What only truly matters is what “your people” think of you. And by “your people” I mean your family and friends and your loved ones and those who are close to you and know who you really are. Your tribe!! Those are the only opinions that truly matter. It was also those moments that taught me to rarely ever be embarrassed of anything. Which in turn, also taught me to be brave. I could write a book on the lessons you taught me baba. They seemed so simple at the time but as I’ve grown up I understand just how profound they were. I wish you were still here to teach me more!!! Here are some pics of my baba from his time in the military In Greece many years before I was born and the last one is just a few years before he got his ALS diagnosis. That is one of my very favorite pictures of him. You can see the sparkle in his eyes. You can see his goodness and his love for life and his love for everyone around him. This is how I like to remember him. Full of life and full of love. Love you baba!! ❤️ #cureals #findacure #als

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - FIRST DAY of SCHOOL ➡️LAST DAY of SCHOOL ➡️FIRST DAY of SCHOOL Last year we were in Greece when school started because Alexandra was a flower girl in her Godmothers @marigoknows wedding so we missed the first week of school and I didn’t get a “first day of school” picture. I did however get some first few weeks of school pictures and these first 2 shots are those. The following pic is the last day of school in second grade…I didn’t miss that thankfully. 🤪 And now today is her FIRST day of 3rd grade. Yesterday was the REAL first day but again like last year we were flying back from Greece so we missed it 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 Swipe to see this mornings pics and how much she has grown in one year. 💔 Where did the time go. I am half crying and half smiling while I write this. I am so proud and impressed of the girl she is growing into but my heart is breaking into a million pieces knowing she is not going to be my little monkey for too much longer. Being a mom is the most wonderful fulfilling experience and also heart breaking all at the same time. Love you my little monkey always and forever! 💕🐒

Being a mom is the most wonderful fulfilling experience and also heart breaking all at the same time. Love you my little monkey always and forever! 💕🐒
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - FIRST DAY of SCHOOL ➡️LAST DAY of SCHOOL ➡️FIRST DAY of SCHOOL Last year we were in Greece when school started because Alexandra was a flower girl in her Godmothers @marigoknows wedding so we missed the first week of school and I didn’t get a “first day of school” picture. I did however get some first few weeks of school pictures and these first 2 shots are those. The following pic is the last day of school in second grade…I didn’t miss that thankfully. 🤪 And now today is her FIRST day of 3rd grade. Yesterday was the REAL first day but again like last year we were flying back from Greece so we missed it 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 Swipe to see this mornings pics and how much she has grown in one year. 💔 Where did the time go.

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Saturday Night Live this weekend, I am taking you back..waaayy back to when I was 24 years old and appeared on SNL playing myself. When @theviewabc first started, skits about our show were a staple on SNL every week. They loved to make fun of us and especially ridicule me and the way the other ladies treated me. The writers of the show clearly caught on to our dynamic and how there was big age difference between me and the other ladies. Many times it was obvious to the viewers that I had very little to say given the fact that I was only 22 when I started on the show. I was a baby with not much life experience yet and sitting next to these accomplished women made it even more glaring. So we were perfect fodder for a sketch comedy show and they jumped at the opportunity to mock us. Barbara absolutely hated it!! She thought it was embarrassing and disrespectful. But the rest of us loved it and explained to her that being mimicked was the best form of flattery and that it meant we had become a pop culture staple. SNL put us on the map and made us relevant. Everyone from Cameron Diaz, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Drew Barrymore, Claire Danes, etc played me from week to week. And every time the skit involved the other ladies attempting to kill me🤣. So when I was actually let go from the show, I got the call of a lifetime from the one and only Lorne Michaels. The GENIUS Executive Producer of Saturday Night Live. He asked me to come be on the show and play myself that Saturday. I about fell off my seat and obviously said YES! I went over to 30 Rock on Wednesday of that week. Went in the writers room with the amazing team lead by Tina Fey at that time and we got to work writing the skit together. They couldn’t have been kinder or more collaborative. It was very important to them that I felt comfortable with what we were writing. After the skit was written, we rehearsed and then Saturday we went LIVE. After the show Lorne addressed me in front of the entire cast and gave me the most amazing compliment that I will never forget. He looked at me and said, “Kid you were born to do comedy.” I melted. Enjoy!!!
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - There are a lot of great things about living in Southern California but one of my favorite things would have to be having access to the freshest and most delicious citrus I have ever had in my life. I am lucky enough to have a lot of citrus trees in my backyard that produce the sweetest oranges, tangerines, mandarins and grapefruits. Not to mention the lime and lemon trees which are great for making homemade lemonade and limeade. Because we have such an abundance of fruit, I like to try and use it in as many recipes as I can and what I can’t use I give to friends and neighbors. So, Alexandra wanted to make a cake this past weekend and instead of making my traditional Lemon Olive Oil cake from my cookbook and which is also featured on my new website iamdebbiem.com I decided to make it an ORANGE Olive Oil cake and WOW…was it a crowd pleaser! I shoulda made two!!! I baked it in this cute heart shaped baking pan I got from @target in honor of Valentines Day which is right around the corner. This is an easy yet very impressive cake you can whip up for your sweetheart in less than an hour ❤️🥰❤️ Check out my website for the full recipe linked in my bio!!! iamdebbiem.com
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Let me start by saying this Is NOT an ad. And I can’t believe I am going to say this next, but I recently bought myself a pair of Dr Marten boots. Yes…the kind we used to wear in high school. I don’t know what came over me, but the people who worked in the store got me all excited and I was feeling very nostalgic and slipped back into my 15 year old self. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️. Anyway, I got them home and immediately had buyers remorse and felt so silly for buying shoes that teenagers wear. But then I started going through my closet and couldn’t believe how much they worked with. They literally work with everything. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. And ya know what…So what if all the kids are wearing them….we wore them first. Actually the punk rockers in the 60’s and 70’s made them popular even before we did. So that makes them classics. Did I drink the Kool-aid? I don’t know…maybe I drank the Kool-aid! But I really love these boots😝 @drmartensofficial
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Make sure to catch me bright and early tomorrow morning on @ktla5news chatting about the beautifully magical Christmas movie, “A Paris Christmas Waltz” starring @jen_lilley and @matthewmorrison. It’s the very first Christmas movie I have ever been a part of and it was SO MUCH FUN. I had less than a week to prepare and was told I had to have a French accent. Ummm….excusé moi???😳🤪 Lol. Some place, somewhere in the world all of my former French teachers from middle school and high school are cringing. Ha!! 😂. I hope you all love watching this movie as much as we all loved making it. Merry Christmas everybody…..or shall I say Joyeux Noël. 🎄#christmas #christmasmovie #holiday #aparischristmaswaltz

Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, and that I don’t miss you and that I don’t wish you were still here. The world isn’t quite as bright or fun without you here. I was so lucky to have you as my dad. Love you so much baba. Happy heavenly birthday. #findacure #findacureforals #cureals
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Wow!!! So sad to hear about Barry Humphries AKA Dame Edna passing. He was such a funny kind witty human. This pic is from 2015. He came on my show Home and Family on Hallmark Channel at the time and he did his hysterical thing. He was shamelessly flirting with me while dressed in full drag which made it that much funnier. He invited me to see his show here in LA. Me and some people from the show went and he gave us the best seats in the house. We were crying with laughter the entire time. He then sent US a thank you note for having him on our show and said what a wonderful time he had. He was a class act. May he rest in peace! 🙏🏻 #dameedna #rip
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Good morning Instafam!!! A lot of you ask about my daily skin care routine. So here it is. First I wash my face with my favorite gentle cleanser. Then I wipe it clean with a hypoallergenic face wipe. And then I get to the good stuff…the MAGIC stuff. I apply my Renew Daytime Fyto Retinol Serum all over my face but mostly focus around my eyes. Then I apply my cream that’s as good as gold, my Ageless Beauty Balm. The texture is so silky and creamy and luxurious but that’s nothing compared to the affect it has on your skin. It literally makes you GLOW. No joke. It plumps and hydrates and returns the integrity and vitality of your skin to what it was 10 years ago. I am truly SO proud of this skincare line you guys. I worked so so so hard on it because I wanted to get it right. I wanted to bring something to people that really worked because so many of the things I have tried in the past do not! I spent hours and months and years on it to get it right. It’s not as if the world needs another person from TV hawking a product…..and THAT is EXACTLY why I didn’t even put my name on it. I wanted the products to speak for themselves. And I’m proud to say they do. They are clean and green and all natural, made of olive oil and honey and royal jelly and holy basil and all things nourishing for your body. Hearing the stories of how much you all are loving the products overwhelms me with such deep happiness and humility. Thank you my gorgeous @ikariabeauty goddesses and gods. I’m so happy you’re loving your glow. I’d love to hear more about your experiences. Let me know below. 👇😚 #beauty #skincare #beautyroutine #clean #cleanbeauty #natural #selfcarefirst #selflove #selfcare
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - One of my very favorite things in the world used to be making mix tapes back in the day. A pleasure that Millennials and Gen Zers will likely never experience. I was so obsessed with making mixes, that I even started burning CD’s for people when the tapes became obsolete. 🤪 I literally used to make a mix tape for every event in my life, as well as my friends lives as gifts to them. I also never threw a party without making the most amazing mix tapes for said parties first. For me, music was and still is what sets the mood for so many of life’s memorable moments. I am truly a huge fan of all music. And I do not discriminate between genres either. That is why my very first job in TV was at MTV. I wanted to work there for the M not the TV. 😀I love it all!!! So, I was really feelin it today and wanted to celebrate my fellow Generation X’ers by putting my skills to use and making a little old school New Wave mix tape that’s gonna likely bring back a whole lot of memories and have everyone feelin a certain kind of way. I had so much fun doing this something tells me this is gonna be the first of many. I hope this makes you smile. Enjoy my Gen X’ers…and all my fellow music lovers as well. #musiclover #musichead #genx #genxers #80s #80smusic #newwave 🫶😋
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - Want a quick, easy, yet impressive Valentines Day recipe the whole family will enjoy? Look no further. Make a Pot Pie in the shape of a ♥️ heart. Super simple but makes a statement. I like to make as many foods that I can in the shape of hearts in February. I know it’s slightly ridiculous but it makes me smile and luckily I have a 7 year old so it’s acceptable. This recipe comes together so quickly and I used my heart shaped @marthastewart love pie dish to make it special. Your entire family will love it as much as I loved making it. You can find the full recipe on my website iamdebbiem.com. However one step that I left out on the website, is to make sure and pause for a sip of wine 😉Enjoy!!! 😋🤤 #valentinesday #valentinesdaydinner #love #easyrecipes #valentinesdayrecipes
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - 🎀Barbies Haunted Scream House🎀- Part 4!!!!! Soooo….for those of you following my Halloween Barbie decorating obsession you’ve seen me create the pink pumpkin wreath, the bedazzled bats in pink cobwebs, the floating illuminated hats and bats, the pink pumpkins with bedazzled stems and now we’ve come to the final decorating installment ….or have we? 😝Anyway, this time I decided we needed to light up the house and make it POP more..as if hot pink pumpkins wasn’t enough 🤪. I bought battery packed hot pink lights to frame my windows and then used yards and yards of hot pink and light pink tulle to make giant magical 🎀Barbie Bows and then attached giant bedazzled spiders in the center. If you watch my stories you know that last week I went to an underground pumpkin warehouse in search of the biggest pumpkin I could find… 150 pounds to be exact. Who knew there was a black market for pumpkins 🎃 The pumpkin patches had not yet opened because it was still September but I did some recon and found a place that would sell me pumpkins on the DL for 1/2 price. Although, I wasn’t allowed to choose the pumpkins from one section that had already been reserved for the Kardashians. I mean….only in LA. 🤣As one of my friends on here pointed out…Apparently, I am in fact Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Ha! So, I bought 1 giant pumpkin called a Big Mac and two large ones called medicine balls. I decided to cover the Big Mac in Barbie decals in order to pull the theme together and so that there was no confusion as to what I was trying to accomplish here. I have had some neighbors ask me if I was pregnant with a little girl and if this was my gender reveal. Hahaha. I then got two pink spot lights and shined them on the house for a little more spooky glam and here we are!!! I know I said I would be done and this would be the final addition…however maybe, just maybe I could add more 😜. I have ONE more thing I ordered on @amazon but even with fastest delivery it won’t be here until the 19th. Until then, feel free to leave any last minutes suggestions in the “suggestion box” below. I hope you guys have enjoyed this. I certainly have! #halloween #barbie
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - It is truly the end of an era! As today is the final day that E! News will exist. I spent so many formative years of my career there. So I’m taking a moment today to look back and reflect. There are so many more pictures and so many memories that it would take a lifetime to post them all here. We’ll save those for the book some day 😜From every awards show red carpet, to hosting Fashion Police, and The Daily 10, E! was a place that we all got be creative and have fun covering celebrity news. When I got there the tides had thankfully changed a bit. We weren’t snarky journalists. We were friends with the stars and that made them want to talk to us and have fun with us. They knew that we wouldn’t attack them. They felt safe being honest with us as we were more laid back and open to just about anything really. That was such a magical time. It was Hollywoods heyday and E! networks was the headquarters. It almost feels like it wasn’t real. The executives allowed us to be US. They put the power in our hands to really make the show we wanted to make. They allowed us to ask the questions and say what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t something that would get us sued. lol. 😂 That made for really good TV and even better LIVE TV. NO ONE knows how to do a live red carpet like E! did. We owned that carpet and every outlet knew it! They ALL envied us. I’m not bragging, I’m simply stating facts. You can ask around. Everyone will agree 😆 It was an amazing moment in time that I will forever be grateful for and will have memories for a lifetime. A time was had ya’ll. RIP @enews

They knew that we wouldn’t attack them. They felt safe being honest with us as we were more laid back and open to just about anything really. That was such a magical time. It was Hollywoods heyday and E! networks was the headquarters. It almost feels like it wasn’t real. The executives allowed us to be US. They put the power in our hands to really make the show we wanted to make. They allowed us to ask the questions and say what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t something that would get us sued. lol. 😂 That made for really good TV and even better LIVE TV. NO ONE knows how to do a live red carpet like E! did. We owned that carpet and every outlet knew it! They ALL envied us. I’m not bragging, I’m simply stating facts. You can ask around. Everyone will agree 😆 It was an amazing moment in time that I will forever be grateful for and will have memories for a lifetime. A time was had ya’ll. RIP @enews
Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram - It is truly the end of an era! As today is the final day that E! News will exist. I spent so many formative years of my career there. So I’m taking a moment today to look back and reflect. There are so many more pictures and so many memories that it would take a lifetime to post them all here.

Debbie Matenopoulos - 6.4K Likes - I was 22 years old when you chose me to sit next to you on The View and you changed my life forever. When we first met you asked me who the 3 most important people of the last century were. I told you Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and Madonna. You laughed out loud and said, “You can’t be serious. You are going to be perfect for our show.” You taught me everything I know about interviewing people and about doing live TV. You taught me how to be professional on a set and in just about any life situation I could ever be in. I learned so much simply by watching you and being in your presence. You always gave 100 percent and you expected nothing less from any of us. You are and you will forever be my fairy godmother and my hero. You are THE reason any female journalist and any female tv personality for that matter has the opportunities they have today. You broke glass ceilings. You paved the way. You didn’t accept things simply for how they were so you changed them. We as women owe you so much. But I in particular, owe you everything. Thank you for taking a chance on a young Greek immigrant girl studying journalism at NYU. You are a legend. You are an icon. And you were also an amazingly funny, charming, witty friend. You will be so missed. May you rest in peace and pride. You were one of one Barbara Walters and I love you dearly. Until we meet again. 🙏🏻💔

Likes : 4054Debbie Matenopoulos - 3.8K Likes - I am so proud to share with everyone that on February 27th, 2024 I received my Greek Passport from the Consul Generals Office in Los Angeles. This was a long arduous process that started roughly 18 years ago at the incessant encouragement of a very dear wise friend. There were lots of twists & turns over the years, things got put on hold, but finally in the last 2 years with numerous trips to government offices in Greece and the unwavering help of my uncle, I collected all of the necessary documents for Greek Passport Eligibility. To say that I am now an official Greek Passport holder fills my heart beyond words. This little book is not just a government document to me. It represents so much more. Ya see, the reason I was having such a hard time being “eligible” was because I am the first person in my entire family to be born in America. My mom, my dad, my sister and my brother were all born in Greece. I was the “oops” baby once they got to the USA 🤪. My whole family has proof of birth documents, baptismal certificates, last place of residence, etc. I on the other hand, didn’t exist anywhere on paper in Greece. Despite having spent nearly every single summer since I was 5 years old there, there was no documentation of my existence. Why would there be, right? After all, I’m American. I was born here and I live here. And why is this even important to begin with? (I’ll get to that in a minute) While yes, I am very American…I’m ALSO very Greek. Just ask my DNA! 😄 My story is continued in comments below: 👇

Likes : 3486Debbie Matenopoulos - 2.9K Likes - 💔😔RIP Bob Weir, king of the greatest Jam Band ever. I was SO sad to hear this today. The Grateful Dead was a huge part of my youth. For as much as I loved pop music, I also equally loved the folksy blues and blue grass sound of The Dead. The fun laid back easy vibe really spoke to me (and still does) and the lyrics to the songs are epic! I was first introduced to them as a young kid by my older sister’s boyfriend, who would later become my brother in law. He would always play Dead songs in his car and he had all the cool bootleg cassette tapes from the different shows too. I remember thinking that was SO cool! From then on I was hooked. I have so many core memories of going to Dead shows in high school and well into my adult life (my last show was 4 years ago) with my best childhood friend Ann. One time our car got towed at an RFK stadium show but somehow by the grace of God and the kind hearts of some Deadheads we made it back home to Richmond by midnight and even to school the next day! 🤪 About 11 or 12 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Bob at a wedding. I was short of breath, my heart was racing and my palms were sweating. This man and his music had been the backdrop for so much of my youth. Despite my nerves, I had to speak to him. So, I walked up to him while he was holding court with a group of some of his musician friends, I shook his hand and said, “Hi I’m Debbie and I am a huge fan.” He said you’re way too young to be a fan of the Dead. I told him how I first heard his music when I was about 10 years old and how his music always put a smile on my face. He couldn’t have been kinder. He invited me to chat with him and his friends for a few minutes. Then before I turned to go back to my table I told him he was the coolest, thanked him for making my childhood dreams come true and told him he was still as handsome as ever. As I walked away, I heard him chuckle and say to his buddies, “I still got it fellas.” It made me laugh out loud. That will forever be one of my favorite experiences in life and I am forever “grateful.” He will always be a musical genius and the coolest rock star ever! May you continue to make beautiful music in heaven Bob🕊️🌹

I sometimes want to freeze time and keep you my little girl forever but with each passing day you get bigger, and smarter, and wiser and more independent and my heart breaks a little.

Caption : How are you already 10 years old today, you wonderful, beautiful, spunky, funny, kind, smart amazing little force of a creature? The day you were born was the best day of my life. I don’t think I truly understood how deep love could be, until I held you in my arms. I feel so blessed and so lucky that I get to be your mama. I sometimes want to freeze time and keep you my little girl forever but with each passing day you get bigger, and smarter, and wiser and more independent and my heart breaks a little. I love watching your excitement as you discover the beauty and the wonderment of the world. I love your never ending curiosity. I love your humor. I love your strength. I love your passion. I even love it when you challenge me. Thank you for helping teach me lessons that I still need to learn. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy.

I love watching your excitement as you discover the beauty and the wonderment of the world. I love your never ending curiosity. I love your humor. I love your strength. I love your passion. I even love it when you challenge me. Thank you for helping teach me lessons that I still need to learn. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy. I love you my little angel face monkey. To the moon and to the stars and to the sun and to the whole universe and back. Wow…I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next ten years.

I was so obsessed with my Cruella De Vil costume that I literally wore it all week wherever I went. And I equally loved when I was Sally from “Nightmare Before Christmas”. Except right after we shot that show, I had to get on a plane to fly to NYC to interview Barbara Walters and getting that blue paint off of my face and body was not easy. I still had some blue on me during the BW interview. 😂. Our hair, makeup and wardrobe team on Home and Family were second to none. @kdestyle @francinevaldivia @janbping killed it with these looks. And I have to say, the final picture in this series seems very appropriate. Almost a bit of foreshadowing. Look closely at the tombstone 😳🤪😉 😂 #halloween #halloweencostume #halloweenmakeup

I had a simple wreath hanging on the door left over from Christmas decorations and I didn’t want to put it away. Every day I would look at it and it would speak to me. It would say please don’t put me back in the boxes in the garage with the others until next year. So I decided I would transform this plain green wreath into a pink showstopper for Valentines Day. I went to the art store and got 6 different colors of pink paint (different shades and different textures), some silk flowers, some butcher paper and some gloves and got to work. After doing a quick test on the back to make sure it would work I started painting away. I became OBSESSED with the hot pink paint. I am definitely going to be using that more this month. The whole project took all of 20 minutes and made such an impact on my front door. It’s almost like I worked for a lifestyle show for 10 years or something. @homeandfamilytv 😉 Happy month of LOVE everyone!! Tell your people you love them a little extra starting today💖 #happyvalentinesday #valentinesday #love #upcycle #levelup

My good friend and former producer at Home and Family Michaelan Mena @artbymichaelanmena ( go give her some love with a follow) sent me the most gorgeous one of a kind custom piece of art. As a side hustle Michaelan has been creating textured abstract art….but truthfully she’s too good for this to be a side hustle. I am so blown away and impressed by her talent and so honored that she created this gorgeous piece of art specifically for me. When I love something I want to share it with the whole world so everyone else can appreciate it too. She is available for commissioned pieces or you can order one from her collection at artbymichaelanmena.com. So proud of you Michaelan!! Hopefully you’ll still have time to be my producer 😜🥰

Apparently a Venti cup of coffee is also the EXACT same as a Grande and a Tall, if you ask for room for milk in the cup. I forgot to ask for room for milk but guess what? It was still pretty much accurate with the exception of a few sips. Gotta be honest…I feel a little bamboozled by the marketing of it all but I still love my @starbucks coffee. You guys try it for yourself!!! You won’t believe it!!!! 😳

Lotsa Hair 💇‍♀️ Lotsa Glam✨ Lotsa Jewels💎 Lotsa Smiles 😁 And LOTSA GOOD TIMES 💃🏼 (Maybe too good 😳…Thank God there was no social media back then 🤪😂) I can confidently and unequivocally say that no one has ever done a red carpet better than we did back in the day on The Daily 10 on @enews and perhaps never will again. We got away with saying and asking just about anything we wanted to. These days it wouldn’t fly because people are now too easily offended by everything😝. Shout out to my TV family for life. Love you guys @iamcattsadler @selema @benlyons What a fun time that was!!! #babycatt (kitten🐱) #babyme

Likes : 1711Debbie Matenopoulos - 1.6K Likes - ~Bill Geddie~Boss, Mentor, Friend, Colleague, Producing Partner I can’t believe I am writing these words. We texted 3 days ago. How is this possible? I am having a hard time making sense of any of this. I have known you for more years of my life than I have not. You started out as my boss who I was so in awe of. You and Barbara took a chance on me for your major network show that would change the face of daytime tv forever. You believed in me and encouraged me when I was a 21 year old kid at NYU and did not believe in myself or my abilities. You changed the trajectory of my life FOREVER. I listened to you and Barbara’s every word and only ever wanted to make both of you proud of me. Over the years our relationship grew from mentor to friend, to mutual respect and admiration as colleagues, to in the last 3 years collaborators and producing partners. One of the greatest joys of my career has been reconnecting with you as partners and beginning to create what we both knew was going to be TV gold. When I first approached you, you were hesitant but you said if anyone could pull you out of retirement it would be me. Those words meant the world to me. You told me how proud you were of my career and what a great career it has been and that you always knew you were right about me despite my unceremonious firing from the View years before. You told me how sorry you were and how sad you were to have to be the henchman. Time heals all wounds. Especially when the person doing the firing was as a kind hearted and fair a person as you were. You have to be pretty awesome a human for someone to still adore and respect you after an experience like that. That speaks volumes about who you were and who you will always be in my heart and my mind. The last few years of zoom calls and texts and studio meetings that you would drive in from your amazing life in the desert for have been so fun and heart warming. I felt like we had come full circle and we were finally home again. You would make me laugh out loud with you jokes and your wit and your no bullshit approach to everything. I was so so so happy to be in your presence again. And now this…..How? Why?caption continued ⬇️

I talk to you often and I know you can hear me… I just wish I could hear your voice back. That loud boisterous larger than life voice that I used to be embarrassed of as a teenager. I’d say, “Baba please stop being so loud in public places..it’s so embarrassing.” And you would immediately and purposefully get louder and say in your thick Greek accent, “I don’t care what anyone think. I’m Greek damnit. This is how we talk. They don’t like it. I don’t care.” Although in those moments I was mortified…the lessons that you taught me (intentional or unintentional) will last a lifetime. It was in those moments that I learned that it doesn’t really matter too much what the people who don’t know you think of you. What only truly matters is what “your people” think of you. And by “your people” I mean your family and friends and your loved ones and those who are close to you and know who you really are. Your tribe!! Those are the only opinions that truly matter. It was also those moments that taught me to rarely ever be embarrassed of anything. Which in turn, also taught me to be brave. I could write a book on the lessons you taught me baba. They seemed so simple at the time but as I’ve grown up I understand just how profound they were. I wish you were still here to teach me more!!! Here are some pics of my baba from his time in the military In Greece many years before I was born and the last one is just a few years before he got his ALS diagnosis. That is one of my very favorite pictures of him. You can see the sparkle in his eyes. You can see his goodness and his love for life and his love for everyone around him. This is how I like to remember him. Full of life and full of love. Love you baba!! ❤️ #cureals #findacure #als

They seemed so simple at the time but as I’ve grown up I understand just how profound they were. I wish you were still here to teach me more!!! Here are some pics of my baba from his time in the military In Greece many years before I was born and the last one is just a few years before he got his ALS diagnosis. That is one of my very favorite pictures of him. You can see the sparkle in his eyes. You can see his goodness and his love for life and his love for everyone around him. This is how I like to remember him. Full of life and full of love. Love you baba!! ❤️ #cureals #findacure #als

Caption : Happy heavenly birthday to the greatest man I have ever known. I love you baba and I miss you every single day. I talk to you often and I know you can hear me… I just wish I could hear your voice back. That loud boisterous larger than life voice that I used to be embarrassed of as a teenager. I’d say, “Baba please stop being so loud in public places..it’s so embarrassing.” And you would immediately and purposefully get louder and say in your thick Greek accent, “I don’t care what anyone think. I’m Greek damnit. This is how we talk. They don’t like it. I don’t care.” Although in those moments I was mortified…the lessons that you taught me (intentional or unintentional) will last a lifetime. It was in those moments that I learned that it doesn’t really matter too much what the people who don’t know you think of you. What only truly matters is what “your people” think of you. And by “your people” I mean your family and friends and your loved ones and those who are close to you and know who you really are. Your tribe!! Those are the only opinions that truly matter. It was also those moments that taught me to rarely ever be embarrassed of anything. Which in turn, also taught me to be brave. I could write a book on the lessons you taught me baba.

I did however get some first few weeks of school pictures and these first 2 shots are those. The following pic is the last day of school in second grade…I didn’t miss that thankfully. 🤪 And now today is her FIRST day of 3rd grade. Yesterday was the REAL first day but again like last year we were flying back from Greece so we missed it 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 Swipe to see this mornings pics and how much she has grown in one year. 💔 Where did the time go. I am half crying and half smiling while I write this. I am so proud and impressed of the girl she is growing into but my heart is breaking into a million pieces knowing she is not going to be my little monkey for too much longer. Being a mom is the most wonderful fulfilling experience and also heart breaking all at the same time. Love you my little monkey always and forever! 💕🐒

Likes : 1312Debbie Matenopoulos - 1.3K Likes - In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Saturday Night Live this weekend, I am taking you back..waaayy back to when I was 24 years old and appeared on SNL playing myself. When @theviewabc first started, skits about our show were a staple on SNL every week. They loved to make fun of us and especially ridicule me and the way the other ladies treated me. The writers of the show clearly caught on to our dynamic and how there was big age difference between me and the other ladies. Many times it was obvious to the viewers that I had very little to say given the fact that I was only 22 when I started on the show. I was a baby with not much life experience yet and sitting next to these accomplished women made it even more glaring. So we were perfect fodder for a sketch comedy show and they jumped at the opportunity to mock us. Barbara absolutely hated it!! She thought it was embarrassing and disrespectful. But the rest of us loved it and explained to her that being mimicked was the best form of flattery and that it meant we had become a pop culture staple. SNL put us on the map and made us relevant. Everyone from Cameron Diaz, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Drew Barrymore, Claire Danes, etc played me from week to week. And every time the skit involved the other ladies attempting to kill me🤣. So when I was actually let go from the show, I got the call of a lifetime from the one and only Lorne Michaels. The GENIUS Executive Producer of Saturday Night Live. He asked me to come be on the show and play myself that Saturday. I about fell off my seat and obviously said YES! I went over to 30 Rock on Wednesday of that week. Went in the writers room with the amazing team lead by Tina Fey at that time and we got to work writing the skit together. They couldn’t have been kinder or more collaborative. It was very important to them that I felt comfortable with what we were writing. After the skit was written, we rehearsed and then Saturday we went LIVE. After the show Lorne addressed me in front of the entire cast and gave me the most amazing compliment that I will never forget. He looked at me and said, “Kid you were born to do comedy.” I melted. Enjoy!!!

I am lucky enough to have a lot of citrus trees in my backyard that produce the sweetest oranges, tangerines, mandarins and grapefruits. Not to mention the lime and lemon trees which are great for making homemade lemonade and limeade. Because we have such an abundance of fruit, I like to try and use it in as many recipes as I can and what I can’t use I give to friends and neighbors. So, Alexandra wanted to make a cake this past weekend and instead of making my traditional Lemon Olive Oil cake from my cookbook and which is also featured on my new website iamdebbiem.com I decided to make it an ORANGE Olive Oil cake and WOW…was it a crowd pleaser! I shoulda made two!!! I baked it in this cute heart shaped baking pan I got from @target in honor of Valentines Day which is right around the corner. This is an easy yet very impressive cake you can whip up for your sweetheart in less than an hour ❤️🥰❤️ Check out my website for the full recipe linked in my bio!!! iamdebbiem.com

Yes…the kind we used to wear in high school. I don’t know what came over me, but the people who worked in the store got me all excited and I was feeling very nostalgic and slipped back into my 15 year old self. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️. Anyway, I got them home and immediately had buyers remorse and felt so silly for buying shoes that teenagers wear. But then I started going through my closet and couldn’t believe how much they worked with. They literally work with everything. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. And ya know what…So what if all the kids are wearing them….we wore them first. Actually the punk rockers in the 60’s and 70’s made them popular even before we did. So that makes them classics. Did I drink the Kool-aid? I don’t know…maybe I drank the Kool-aid! But I really love these boots😝 @drmartensofficial

He came on my show Home and Family on Hallmark Channel at the time and he did his hysterical thing. He was shamelessly flirting with me while dressed in full drag which made it that much funnier. He invited me to see his show here in LA. Me and some people from the show went and he gave us the best seats in the house. We were crying with laughter the entire time. He then sent US a thank you note for having him on our show and said what a wonderful time he had. He was a class act. May he rest in peace! 🙏🏻 #dameedna #rip

Then I wipe it clean with a hypoallergenic face wipe. And then I get to the good stuff…the MAGIC stuff. I apply my Renew Daytime Fyto Retinol Serum all over my face but mostly focus around my eyes. Then I apply my cream that’s as good as gold, my Ageless Beauty Balm. The texture is so silky and creamy and luxurious but that’s nothing compared to the affect it has on your skin. It literally makes you GLOW. No joke. It plumps and hydrates and returns the integrity and vitality of your skin to what it was 10 years ago. I am truly SO proud of this skincare line you guys. I worked so so so hard on it because I wanted to get it right. I wanted to bring something to people that really worked because so many of the things I have tried in the past do not! I spent hours and months and years on it to get it right. It’s not as if the world needs another person from TV hawking a product…..and THAT is EXACTLY why I didn’t even put my name on it. I wanted the products to speak for themselves. And I’m proud to say they do. They are clean and green and all natural, made of olive oil and honey and royal jelly and holy basil and all things nourishing for your body. Hearing the stories of how much you all are loving the products overwhelms me with such deep happiness and humility. Thank you my gorgeous @ikariabeauty goddesses and gods. I’m so happy you’re loving your glow. I’d love to hear more about your experiences. Let me know below. 👇😚 #beauty #skincare #beautyroutine #clean #cleanbeauty #natural #selfcarefirst #selflove #selfcare

I wanted the products to speak for themselves. And I’m proud to say they do. They are clean and green and all natural, made of olive oil and honey and royal jelly and holy basil and all things nourishing for your body. Hearing the stories of how much you all are loving the products overwhelms me with such deep happiness and humility. Thank you my gorgeous @ikariabeauty goddesses and gods. I’m so happy you’re loving your glow. I’d love to hear more about your experiences. Let me know below. 👇😚 #beauty #skincare #beautyroutine #clean #cleanbeauty #natural #selfcarefirst #selflove #selfcare

A pleasure that Millennials and Gen Zers will likely never experience. I was so obsessed with making mixes, that I even started burning CD’s for people when the tapes became obsolete. 🤪 I literally used to make a mix tape for every event in my life, as well as my friends lives as gifts to them. I also never threw a party without making the most amazing mix tapes for said parties first. For me, music was and still is what sets the mood for so many of life’s memorable moments. I am truly a huge fan of all music. And I do not discriminate between genres either. That is why my very first job in TV was at MTV. I wanted to work there for the M not the TV. 😀I love it all!!! So, I was really feelin it today and wanted to celebrate my fellow Generation X’ers by putting my skills to use and making a little old school New Wave mix tape that’s gonna likely bring back a whole lot of memories and have everyone feelin a certain kind of way. I had so much fun doing this something tells me this is gonna be the first of many. I hope this makes you smile. Enjoy my Gen X’ers…and all my fellow music lovers as well. #musiclover #musichead #genx #genxers #80s #80smusic #newwave 🫶😋

Super simple but makes a statement. I like to make as many foods that I can in the shape of hearts in February. I know it’s slightly ridiculous but it makes me smile and luckily I have a 7 year old so it’s acceptable. This recipe comes together so quickly and I used my heart shaped @marthastewart love pie dish to make it special. Your entire family will love it as much as I loved making it. You can find the full recipe on my website iamdebbiem.com. However one step that I left out on the website, is to make sure and pause for a sip of wine 😉Enjoy!!! 😋🤤 #valentinesday #valentinesdaydinner #love #easyrecipes #valentinesdayrecipes

Soooo….for those of you following my Halloween Barbie decorating obsession you’ve seen me create the pink pumpkin wreath, the bedazzled bats in pink cobwebs, the floating illuminated hats and bats, the pink pumpkins with bedazzled stems and now we’ve come to the final decorating installment ….or have we? 😝Anyway, this time I decided we needed to light up the house and make it POP more..as if hot pink pumpkins wasn’t enough 🤪. I bought battery packed hot pink lights to frame my windows and then used yards and yards of hot pink and light pink tulle to make giant magical 🎀Barbie Bows and then attached giant bedazzled spiders in the center. If you watch my stories you know that last week I went to an underground pumpkin warehouse in search of the biggest pumpkin I could find… 150 pounds to be exact. Who knew there was a black market for pumpkins 🎃 The pumpkin patches had not yet opened because it was still September but I did some recon and found a place that would sell me pumpkins on the DL for 1/2 price. Although, I wasn’t allowed to choose the pumpkins from one section that had already been reserved for the Kardashians. I mean….only in LA. 🤣As one of my friends on here pointed out…Apparently, I am in fact Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Ha! So, I bought 1 giant pumpkin called a Big Mac and two large ones called medicine balls. I decided to cover the Big Mac in Barbie decals in order to pull the theme together and so that there was no confusion as to what I was trying to accomplish here. I have had some neighbors ask me if I was pregnant with a little girl and if this was my gender reveal. Hahaha. I then got two pink spot lights and shined them on the house for a little more spooky glam and here we are!!! I know I said I would be done and this would be the final addition…however maybe, just maybe I could add more 😜. I have ONE more thing I ordered on @amazon but even with fastest delivery it won’t be here until the 19th. Until then, feel free to leave any last minutes suggestions in the “suggestion box” below. I hope you guys have enjoyed this. I certainly have! #halloween #barbie

So I’m taking a moment today to look back and reflect. There are so many more pictures and so many memories that it would take a lifetime to post them all here. We’ll save those for the book some day 😜From every awards show red carpet, to hosting Fashion Police, and The Daily 10, E! was a place that we all got be creative and have fun covering celebrity news. When I got there the tides had thankfully changed a bit. We weren’t snarky journalists. We were friends with the stars and that made them want to talk to us and have fun with us. They knew that we wouldn’t attack them. They felt safe being honest with us as we were more laid back and open to just about anything really. That was such a magical time. It was Hollywoods heyday and E! networks was the headquarters. It almost feels like it wasn’t real. The executives allowed us to be US. They put the power in our hands to really make the show we wanted to make. They allowed us to ask the questions and say what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t something that would get us sued. lol. 😂 That made for really good TV and even better LIVE TV. NO ONE knows how to do a live red carpet like E! did. We owned that carpet and every outlet knew it! They ALL envied us. I’m not bragging, I’m simply stating facts. You can ask around. Everyone will agree 😆 It was an amazing moment in time that I will forever be grateful for and will have memories for a lifetime. A time was had ya’ll. RIP @enews

So I’m taking a moment today to look back and reflect. There are so many more pictures and so many memories that it would take a lifetime to post them all here. We’ll save those for the book some day 😜From every awards show red carpet, to hosting Fashion Police, and The Daily 10, E! was a place that we all got be creative and have fun covering celebrity news. When I got there the tides had thankfully changed a bit. We weren’t snarky journalists. We were friends with the stars and that made them want to talk to us and have fun with us. They knew that we wouldn’t attack them. They felt safe being honest with us as we were more laid back and open to just about anything really. That was such a magical time. It was Hollywoods heyday and E! networks was the headquarters. It almost feels like it wasn’t real. The executives allowed us to be US. They put the power in our hands to really make the show we wanted to make. They allowed us to ask the questions and say what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t something that would get us sued. lol. 😂 That made for really good TV and even better LIVE TV. NO ONE knows how to do a live red carpet like E! did. We owned that carpet and every outlet knew it! They ALL envied us. I’m not bragging, I’m simply stating facts. You can ask around. Everyone will agree 😆 It was an amazing moment in time that I will forever be grateful for and will have memories for a lifetime. A time was had ya’ll. RIP @enews
