Video transcript

MICHELLE VISAGE: The moment I found out I got the role, Ru just said to me, would you do this? And I was like, are you sure? Ru's got a brand new book, "House of Hidden Meanings". And so, Ru's on a book tour.

So she couldn't be here. And I said, absolutely, I'll step into that role. It's big shoes to fill figuratively and literally. And I said, what do you want me to do? And Ru said, you be you. Do you. And I was like, OK. I got this.

The format is the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We're not reinventing the wheel. So no, there's nothing that I wanted to change.

Ru's catchphrases and Ru isms are Ru's. So I'm not going to be doing Ru because Ru is Ru. So I am bringing me in my way. But there's so many things that cross-pollinate between Ru and myself anyway. So you're going to look at it and be like, oh, Ru would probably do that. Yeah, probably because we share-- we share a brain.
