What they're all excited about is because we have a special guest. We also have a summer preview of this season's biggest movie, series, and reality shows. and it's not here. So, joining us is the fabulous Zarna Guard. Y and of course, she brings her children everywhere she goes. Beautiful. Even if they don't want to go, they have to, right? Yeah. So, let's let's see what we got here today. The beloved series Hacks took its final bow last week after five seasons. In fact, I
factored into their last act, by the way, by patching up my fictional beef with Jean Smart's character, Deborah Vance, right here at this table. Watch. Welcome back. We have a very special surprise guest. Deborah Vance is here to promote her free show in Central Park, but she was only allowed off the blacklist on one condition. Joy. Yeah, I have to apologize. Mhm. You would know the difference between a Margo and a Merlo if I smashed it over your head. And I think that toasting with a glass of iced tea is just pure class.
Thank you very much. And I'm sorry I got you put on the terrorist watch list. That was you. YEAH. So Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder's relationship was the heart of the series and when they came here they talked about their intergenerational friendship. Let's watch that. I think the best thing that I hear from folks is that um hacks helped like bridge an intergenerational gap in their life. Like I think it models like the way to have discussions about um difficult things with people who maybe you feel like you don't understand. And so when people say that maybe like they connected with their mom or their daughter more and started to see things from their perspective, I think that is um meaningful. Also, if they
come up to me and they're like nice rack, whatever. So the question is, is age just a number when it comes to friendships or are there certain life stages that make it hard to truly connect? What say you? Well, I love an intergenerational friendship. Some of my dearest friends um that I've made since I moved to kind of suburban world are more in their 50s and I feel like I learn a ton from them. There's a lack of judgment because there's this like divide. Like they've been there a million years ago and they're giving me wonderful advice. But what I also just have to say I love so much about hacks. Jeene SM has had an
incredible career for a million years, but she kind of blew up her biggest role yet is in her 70s. So, she has Smart won an the Emmy award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series four consecutive times for hacks. I mean, that just shows that women can go on to continue to do things for so many years. Yeah, you're telling me. Correct, Joy. Correct. So, what about you? Uh, but I'm listening to Alyssa and thinking we're going to be working for a long time. That's what I got. Like, you're gonna have to put in 25 more years before you're going to get that Emmy. I've been very lucky. A lot of my comedy friends are women who've been doing comedy for a long time.
Uh, a lot longer than me. And thank God for them cuz they've taught me everything about the business. Uh, my comedy coach is older than me and we I want to believe we teach each other. I'm not sure. She may have her point of view. She thinks I have nothing to offer. But I did set up her Instagram and Tik Tok account. That's right. Yes. Right. I was I remember during the pandemic, we're not saving the jokes. Let them go. It used to be a thing. Remember, don't burn your material. We sat there. We're like, "Burn it all. You're you're one of the few Well, not one of the few. You are one of the comedians out there who has such a strong persona that anything you say is
funny." Yes. You are. you my mother-in-law. We'll add her to the list. Somebody She's still out there. She's like, "People pay money to see you." Yes, they do. I think um age is just a number when it comes to friendships cuz I find in life it's harder to find people that align with you in those ways where you kind of finish each other's sentences or your values are there. Those are old friends. Well, sometimes you meet them and they feel like old friends though and you're like, "Wow, this is going to work." The age comes in handy when it comes to life advice because I think you can only really garner wisdom when you when
someone's handing it back to you because wisdom is earned by a lesson learned and now you've learned it so you're good unless you hand that to someone else. It you know it has more meaning when you do that. I love intergenerational um friendships, relationships. I was very close with my grandmother before she passed. She was the person that I called every single day because of the wisdom. Um Joy I feel like Joy and I uh play a lot off camera uh and in our lives. We go to what we play well we go sample sale shopping um and we guys are shopping and we text a lot and we call a lot. I think um my friendship with Joy has been
one of the blessings on this show. Wow, that's so sweet. It's true. You give good very good advice. Okay. Jennifer Lopez is starring in the steamy new romantic comedy called Office Romance. She plays a highpowered CEO who can't resist her new employee. Oh. Mhm. For most people, work is something that you have to endure. But for me, running this airline, this is the best part. There is someone I like. It's my boss. She's dynamic. She's incredible. This is not a date. This is a work dinner. Cheers.
Dinner. What' you say? Never mind. Sorry. Want to have dinner? Yes. Do you believe in magic? Honestly, since I first walked into your office, I believe in everything. No, fully around at the office. Never at the office. So the question, so our office romances making a comeback in the this is the postmeto era we're in. Right. So all of a sudden you can now have a romance at the office. That's professional suicide. I don't like it. I love that JLo though is back um with romcoms. I think that's where she shines. Nature is healing. It's like wonderful. The wedding planner, all of I love her romcoms, but office romances. No, but where are you supposed to meet these?
So, I'm a proist romance person. That's up the bar maybe, but online it's too creepy. I believe in dipping in the company Inc., but not when it is and reporting it to HR. Not and reporting it to I once I had a really serious relationship with someone at the company that we were in different departments and I knew he was serious about me because he was a lawyer and he told me he disclosed it to HR and I said, "You didn't even disclose it to me. Are we a thing?" Like, but that's how like by the book he was. What happens when there's an ugly breakup and you got to walk?
There was an ugly breakup. He left the company. You see, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. NOT BECAUSE OF ME. Probably because of you. That's what happened. Are you saying that you trusted him because he was the lawyer? That's No, no, no. I'm laughing because I didn't we weren't even in department. Like there was no argument that it was like he was here and I was we were totally in different departments in the same company.
Okay. But don't you think that if you're peers it doesn't matter? It's not a need to matter situation. Yeah. The main difference it does because of what I just said. He's a lawyer, guys. I dated uh I was a first or second year associate at a law firm. I dated a guy. I decided I didn't like him anymore. It was one of the few times that I dumped someone because I'm always the dumpy. So, I dumped this guy. His father was a partner at the law firm. He stalked me. He was angry. Uh he like ran me basically almost out of retribution lawsuit there.
I mean he like ran me almost out of the law firm. And when I first started dating him, what did my father say? You're dating somebody at your job? Professional suicide. And it almost was. What do you think, Zo? I don't actually understand. If I had the power and if I was a CEO, the last thing I want to do is date anybody. Right. You've got power. Why? What would you do instead? I WANT TO GO OUT. I WANT TO SHOP. I WANT TO DO OTHER THINGS. And who cares about guys? I don't know.
The only time I might date somebody is to try to like rope them into staying cuz that's what I'm dealing with. My social media team and all getting poached constantly cuz they do such a good job and then like, "Oh, do you want to work for me? Do you want to work for me?" I would date somebody to be like, "Lock them in." Yeah, that's right. That's it. So she approves of dating her social media team, but not anyone else. Not just anyone. I mean, here's the thing. My moral compass is very low. I see that. And extremely flexible. So depending on what's in it for me, it could work.
Well, what about some really good sex with some young HER only three times? They came FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER. DON'T OH, I'M SORRY. It's the basket theory. Okay. Yes. Well, most sex Joy, come on. I'm 50. I No sex. No, thank you. I walk around with the police tape around my body. How does your husband handle that? He doesn't. And it's okay. She locked him in. He's If you don't ask, this is the best thing you I never ask him what he's thinking or feeling because then it's his feelings are not my problem. Yeah,
go talk to your mom. Go complain to her about whatever. I don't Yeah, which now the whole mother-in-law thing's coming full circle. By the way, not to derail us from this, but the rumor is that JLo and Brett Goldstein might actually be dating now in real life. And I love that. I just love that Roy Kent with JLo. Like JLo love too much. I've realized that. And SHE IS I KNOW SHE LOVES LOVE. SHE NEEDS to hang out with Zara because she is the boss, the CEO. She doesn't need to have sex anymore. She's done. Right.
All right, we got to go. We'll be right back. The Weekend View is sponsored by Rock Skincare. Clinically proven and dermatologist recommended. Okay, I'm going TO CALL PETER. SO, THERE'S A NEW COMEDY HITTING THEATERS on July 10th called Gail Dartree and the Celebrity Sex Pass, which poses an interesting way to save a relationship. Take a look. You each had an agreement. Yes. To be able to have sex with a certain celebrity given the opportunity. Yes, exactly. And Tom went too far in the back of a book stone.
Yes. Wow. So, what do I do? If you are going to continue your relationship with Tom, you must have sex with your celebrity crush. So if I want to repair my relationship with Tom, you must have sex with John Ham, the young. So yes, do you girls, do you have a celebrity sex pass with your husband? Let's start with the young mother. Well, okay. I don't believe in them. Mostly because in our line of work, we meet most of the people who would be my hall past. The only one I have in is Theo James, but like the guy from Love Story, we saw him at Upfronts. We saw Kit Harrington, Jon Snow. So, you cannot
have them. My husband says, "Do a Lia." Like, but yeah, like I have a type. They're always brunette and handsome. It does not work. Yeah. You never went out with a guy with blonde hair or white hair. I did once and it was terrible. And he was not as cute as all the brunette exes because of the hair. Yes. Manny and I do have our hall passes. Really? Um, Idris Elba is in love with me. You heard it here first. How do you how do I'm curious, how do you know that?
Well, because he's been on the show and um we don't have the picture, but uh there's evidence. So Manny knows that's my whole pass. Um and his whole past is Salahek. Oh, that's Steve's. Oh, that's Yes, that's his he'll fight Manny for that one. Yeah, that's that's that's And I look nothing like her. And he looks nothing like Idris. So, it's it's very interesting. Yeah. How about you? Sauna. No. No sex again. WHO ARE ALL these people wishing for sex? Like, no. Please. I would love to go out to dinner with a lot of guys, like dinner, and they can take me shopping if they want.
I wouldn't force it. I wouldn't force it on them, but like if we happen to walk by the Gucci store like, "Yeah, let's take a little turn in." Yeah. You know what I mean? So, there's no celebrity Anybody? Any billionaire with heart disease? Right. Yours. That's a good one. What's the move? I had not thought that. Is that for being open-minded? That is smart. Well, I would say uh I don't approve of Max having sex with anyone, nor will I be having sex with anyone. But I would say if Sunny wasn't poaching my guy, you guys always go to her first. It's
Idris Elba and I have a thing. But he's in love. He might be Sandra's dad. He's in I have a picture Harley held his child in my belly like this. Or Josh Jamal. I think he's hot, too. Oh, yeah. We've had him on a few times. Oh, he is hot. He's hot. Joy, who's your celebrity sex? I don't have a celebrity uh set because mine are all dead. Sandra Bulock and Nicole Kidman are getting the Coven back together in the long aaited sequel. Oh, to their 1998 hit comedy Practical Magic. Take a look at the clip.
I'm sure you've heard of the Owens family. Our witches. You're the Owen sisters. Yeah. Everyone we love dies. Oh, right. A really horrible death, but I mean it's just it's not great for the Tinder bio. So good. So, the movie is Sandra's return to Spotlight after taking time off to raise her kids. And she spoke at CNBC's Changemakers Summit about how tough that can be for women. Let's watch that clip. And I know many women in this room have had to hide and that like, oh, don't worry about that sound in the background of the conference call. It may or may not be a breast bump or a crying baby.
I'm tired of hiding. I Because as an actor, when you decide I'm going to become a producer, everyone goes, "Oh, the actress wants to produce." Okay. And you have to prove yourself over and over again. I made this film at this time because I knew my kids were out of school. I'm not going to sacrifice my children's my time with my kids. And I understand that grief and that angst when you are at work going, I'm not where I need to be right now. I'm here being performative and doing my job, which but guess what? Women can do it. We can do 15 things at one time and get it done. Right. So, Z, we know how you solve this. You just bring your kids with you. That's right. We're a traveling circus.
They have their math sheets in the green room. They do that there. They come here and that this way somebody's Oh, what a beautiful. You need to bring your husband. Oh my. You don't have to ask him how he's feeling. I just want nothing. He's a star. Do you see that? The bar is on the floor for men. So, let me ask you, did you drag your kids into your career because they're actually talented or because you didn't want to leave them home alone? No, they dragged me into this career. Yeah. They thought their reason. They're right here. Yeah.
They knew you were funny. Am I funny, GUYS? The mostly simple. Wait, that is They've been laughing THE WHOLE TIME WITH the toughest audience. Jurious. No, seriously. Is she funny? She's hilarious. I would say behind the scenes is a lot more scary than funny. Oh, that's good. Cuz all of her jokes are completely true. They're 100% true. She does not let us go outside of the house past 9:00 p.m. Every date we've ever been on, she's watched from outside the window.
How old are She's a good He's 20 years old. LET HIM GO OUT. YOU are a good mother. 20 is young. She's 23. I don't even let her go on a date. And she's beautiful. The problem is that we all work full time with her. And Bridge is mom's favorite. So, I'm Ver. I'm I'm the youngest, 14. And does she doesn't like you as much as she is? She says she forgets about me sometimes. So, all her jokes are true. Yes, they are. All of them are true. I love it. You are a good mother.
Yeah, but you know what? Anyone that snags one of these beauties gets the whole family. What a gift that'll be as well. Ask him. He was on a date last night and we were trying to involve ourselves as a family. You're like this in FRONT OF EVERYBODY. SEE, SEE, you get the whole family. Is it fun? Don't you love it? She's what they call a helicopter parent. There's nothing wrong with that. We have a lot in common. Thank you. These two, they going to go into the sunset together. We'll be right back. I'm going to steal your The weekend view is sponsored by Rock Skinare. Clinically proven and dermatologist recommended.
Okay, so Alyssa was on the Webbby award-winning Behind the Table podcast with the award-winning Brian Ted and talked about Bravo's reality show spin-off of Summerhouse called The City. Watch the new show, The City, which is a spin-off from Summerhouse, which I know what that is now. We see that one of the cast members, Whitney, has moved her entire life to New York from LA to live with her boyfriend of less than a year. I said to Kimmy that in order for you to move across the entire country without a commitment such as a ring is a very big deal. You don't have to be engaged moving together. Like news flash, that's not what I was saying. I'm saying
it's a big commitment to move across the country for you. You love each other. It feels small. Do you ever think it's a smart move to change your entire life for someone when there's no commitment in sight? I'll say yes and no. Okay. I with Justin I actually knew that he was like the quote unquote one fairly early basically five six serious dates I was like this person is different. I got to know his I like met and spent a weekend with his family I think by our fourth date. That's like I knew but I still wouldn't have moved in with him that quickly um if he had asked me to. Um, so while I think you could know that somebody is right within 8 months or even earlier than that, I would be very
hesitant to uproot your whole life for that person. I think you need to really like be happy and fulfilled in who you are and what you're doing in your life and then let that relationship build over time. So, would you relocate to be with someone without the ring? I think it depends on how crappy the city is that you're in. Right. So, if you're in a crappy city, Yeah. and then someone says, "I'm moving to Paris. Would you like to come?" The answer is we, right? Or you're in a crappy city and he's like, "Listen, I just got a job in Madrid." You're like, "See?" Yeah. Right. So, it depends on if it's a glow up and an upgrade. You've been married for 25 28 years to Manny and I guarantee Manny wooed you. If he had
moved for a residency or something, you would have gone. Not to a crappy place. Donna, what about you, Dan? Go ahead. I we had a moment where my husband was like, I think we should live on the upper west side. And I wanted to live on the Upper East Side. And I was like, you going on your own. Get moving to another city. I'm not leaving my block. You are joy. You're like that. We like where we are. Like after all these years, I finally have a home I love and now I got to move for why Joy won't even have your kids already or No, the I was saying take them.
You know what? The only reason I'm on this job since dinosaurs roam the earth is because I didn't want to move to California and this came up at the same time. All joking aside, if you find that person you live well with and you have fun with, it really doesn't matter if you have to stop, make stops along the way. I could live anywhere. Maybe my bars low, but like I could go anywhere with the right person. Joy, I'm also from Iowa. You're from So, life has been an upgrade. Yeah. But that's the key. If you could live happily and have fun, like I'm realizing what I'm missing and why I wouldn't go.
I don't even have that right now with my husband in my house. We're like fighting constantly like happy fun. I Is that a marriage? Okay. And now don't ask my husband how he feels because of you.
