During the show, Barbara and her co-hosts discussed many topics including:
Also, we finally learned who performed Barbara's heart valve surgery. It turns out that Barbara Walters' heart surgeon was Dr. Craig Smith, the Chairman of the Department of Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. If the name sounds familiar, that's because Doctor Smith performed quadruple bypass on former President Bill Clinton in 2004.
