You're listening to Comedy Central.

Now!

Mariah Carey, welcome to the Daily Social Distancing Show.

Thank you.

I'm glad to be here.

I have to say, growing up as one of your fans,

I did not think that anything could make me a bigger fan than I already was.

But your memoir has the best description I heard from a friend.

He said, it turns you from a fan into an instant lamb.

Because...

Because we've all grown up with Mariah Carey.

We've all, like, Mariah Carey has sung the soundtrack to our lives.

Whether it's falling in love, whether it's having our hearts broken, whether it's celebrating Christmas,

you are synonymous with the lives that we've lived.

But you take for granted that a lot of people don't know you.

And you've written a book now after 30 years in the industry.

The first question is, why now?

Why would you bear something so vulnerable after all these years of being shielded?

Well, first of all, I've been wanting to work on...

I've been working on this book for three years, you know, solidly for three years.

And prior to that, I wanted to start working on it when I was pregnant,

so like 10 years ago.
