new but we certainly see a lot of candidates doing this, including president obama going on late night television. i wonder what you all think of this concept. do you think it's a good idea, star? >> i'm a bit of a fuddy duddy in this regard. in case you're not surprised, we're pretty serious issues in the united states right now and i'm just not convinced that's the best use of the time of the candidates for the highest office in our land. >> i'm glad you're not managing anybody's campaign. i work with clinton in '92 and he started the ball rolling with the sax. >> he did it. richard nixon did "sock it to me, sock it to me." >> this is why we get to see them as people. if you think about the debates and the news, those are synthet synthetic, so this is where they talk, make fun of themselves. it can backfire, i think cain looked completely lost on letterman. its he a natural thing now to do it. >> does this overemphasize the fact that candidates are seeking out these venues as opposed to

more serious ven views. >> it's not either/or. if you want to read -- young people don't watch news, that's the only way to get to them. >> during the time they're supposed to be serious they often look like buffoons. they look like larry, curly and moe. >> it's important to put the real person forward so we can see them. they have to know when not to answer certain questions. when president clinton didn't know whether to say boxers versus briefs, it was a whoops. >> by the way, he's a human being. these are human beings. let's see them that way. >> you're going to see people's foibles, and that allows you to decide whether you like them or not. >> candidates think they'll get a free ride or easy interview. >> you better bring your "a" game. >> i don't want your foibles to be shown when i'm going to figure out how i'm going to feed my three children. >> i'd like to see your foibles before i elect you. interracial relationships

census figures are on the rise, the percent erage was 14.6 in 2. >> i was living in san francisco before i moved here, for 17 years, and white people are not the majority in san francisco so you're accustomed to seeing the mixing of races. my daughter came home with a very dark skinned filipino boy as a date, and i, after it was over, kate, sort of approaching the subject. she said, what are you talking about? and i thought oh my god, it's a new color blind. i loved it. >> it's true. i went to a restaurant all young people and it was -- usually restaurants are more white or more black, that's just the reality and this was a total, it was so -- when you and i started dating five years ago it was a little different. >> this is a little weird. >> so it's widely accepted and it's great, there's not the stigma there once was. >> we're the last generation. >> is that to say there are no racial relationships that

present themselves? >> i think black/white is bigger than white/asian, perhaps latino. >> or black and latino. really what it comes down to is we're the last generation that brings in that heaviness, that weight of the past, and the next generation of young people, they're being raised to believe that they can be anything, they can go anywhere, they can date anybody. so when they do, we have to pull back on our innate prejudice and let them. >> because we'll still look at a couple, that's interracial. we'll put a label on it. not that it's bad. >> they don't think about it in that way. i have friends, contemporaries told by their parents, don't bring home a white girl, absolutely. and interestingly enough, they have raised their children to go to schools in places where it's extremely mixed and they can't say that to their kids. that's something that we've learned. >> let's move on, speaking of learning, the next topic is fertility map. this is interesting, a survey demonstrated many, many women

don't realize, don't know some basic facts about fertility, particularly when fertility drops off and the question is, we see so many celebrities out there having babies past the age of 40. do you think women are starting to get the wrong perception? >> i think we as women who work outside of the house have this biological clock always ticking. if you have a baby before 15, you're a high risk pregnancy. baby after 42, a high risk pregnancy and during the time when you really want to make your year, more fertile time and what do you do? i do think women know that their chance of having a baby drops off as they get older. >> i was going to say -- >> but it's not the same for men. >> i think we do know and that's the pressure. >> this survey suggests women of a certain age and i'm in the category are in some kind of denial. >> i am an older dad, i have a grown daughter who is 24 and i have an 4 and an 8 years old and i'm in my early 50s, kind of, and i'm a better dad now than i

would have been. i'm a better executive than i was at 27. i think an older parent is great. you don't sweat the things, i love being a parent older. >> do you think that hollywood is selling it -- >> it's my regret right now and i didn't think it would be. >> it's not too late. >> i'll be 50 years old in march. >> lots of ways to do that. >> physically i know my eggs are powdered. if i wanted to adopt, that would be my choice or surrogate. >> important message to women out there if you're single and clock, have a baby on your own. it is not only will it complete your life you're more attractive to men. >> that raises a whole other set of questions maybe we should get to on another segment. we have only a minute left. let's get to this last one, kind of funny. has to do with grooming. turns out men spend more time grooming than women. donny deutsch, looking at you. men are in the showeror 22 minutes, shave for 18 minutes,
