to put that little mustache on you can you still recognize me I know did he know it was you no he did not know and it was it was a doctor o who is from the University of Michigan he has done so much for people who are in wheelchairs and he to give him a million dollars because the way he is helping and the way that he talked about how we have different abilities that it's not being disabled it's just different abilities that we have but he did not recognize me so see I I got to be able to surprise him with that million dollars how did that feel it felt well first of all I wasn't my my million dollars but you know let me just be honest here I want my money but great it felt great it's kind of like how Jeff Bezos just gave Dolly Parton 100 million dollars yes for charity it's a great feeling because you know these people that you're giving this kind of money to even the greater good that they're going to do and Dr o is going to do just that oh I'm so glad you got to do that yeah so you didn't like mind the cover look I just think you should do the little the little beard because I know y'all know their smile like as soon as you start smiling like that's Robin Roberts right there but you did it you did the job I know thank you very much another job you did you just won an Emmy for yourself so you you produce and you produce this show turning the tables do you you have a production company do you like producing I love producing I love you know making the calls not taking the calls and just being able to be our own boss especially as we get to this age but turning the tables which I love just had our friend Lonnie Love she was on the new episode and I didn't realize that we were even nominated for an Emmy but what I love about turning the tables is what we do is we sit down with a group of dynamic women such as yourself and we turn the tables we talk but you know what we don't just talk we listen to one another and that makes such a huge difference I love it too because oh oh shoot because I wanted to ask you will you stick around yeah okay because Robin Roberts is going to stick around we're going to play a fun Thanksgiving game I don't want you to miss it [Applause] so I was just friending it up with Good Morning America co-host I just you know we had talked about this you are one of the most trusted you were voted the most trusted uh face out here what does it feel like to be the most trusted gosh it is such a it's an honor first of all because it was voted on by the people yeah and to um if there's a responsibility that goes along with it but because like you I have surrounded myself with such a phenomenal team who keeps me in check and it all goes down to your intentions and I know my intentions are good I know my intentions are pure and that's really me so much do people ever come up to you Robin and they're like you know I got to tell you this girl because oh yeah yeah really you're like a doctor I know I wouldn't go that far but they do but they do they share their Story and there's something that my mama taught me and it's so it's so helpful because people come up and they it might be a story that I've heard over and over again and I remember one time I was my with my mom and I I was kind but I could have been Kinder and my mama I got back in the car and and she said honey what's the matter I'm like well mama you know people are coming up to Sharon and she said two things is only a mama could do one oh it must be so terrible to be loved you don't have the mom could do without saying yes ma'am and she said two she said Robin Renee that is that person's first time to tell you you may have heard that story countless times but that's that person's first time you act like it's the first time you're hearing it and
