Bob Iger: The Empire Strikes Back

Kelly Ripa
About this episode

Kelly sits down with her BOSS, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger. The two dive into everything including Bob's leaving and returning to the company, his "consigliere" wife, Willow Bay, his newest royal bling and whether or not he will run for President of the United States one day. They discuss Kelly's new Disney Legend status and Bob's biggest achievements, failures, "pinch me" moments and of course linear TV. Bob sticks around for a very revealing rapid fire round and could this CEO be getting a Grammy one day? Kelly thinks so!
