Main Themes & Key Discussion Points

1. The Golden Eve Event & SJP’s Honor (02:31–04:21)

• Golden Eve: A new event by the Golden Globes, awarding two lifetime achievement honors: The Carol Burnett Award (for comedy, presented to SJP) and the Cecil B. DeMille Award (for film, presented to Dame Helen Mirren).

• SATC Reunion: Kristin, Sarah Jessica Parker, and others reunited. Cynthia Nixon was absent due to her Broadway commitments.

• Nerves & Emotions: Kristin was both honored and anxious to deliver a speech about SJP.

  "I'm just in awe and blown away...every time I rewatch [SATC], I'm even more impressed by [Sarah Jessica]."
  — Kristin Davis (03:29)

---

2. Speech Preparation & The Challenge of Expressing Friendship (04:21–07:50)

• Speech Dilemma: Kristin, sober for many years, was sent a script centered around a Cosmopolitan toast (iconic from SATC), but felt it wasn't right for her. Colman Domingo stepped in for the Cosmo toast. Kristin wrote her own speech from the heart.

  "I really wanted to convey...what an incredible person she was, but that's really hard to do."
  — Kristin Davis (04:20)

• Overcoming Stage Fright: Notable pressure due to Harrison Ford sitting front row; Kristin focused on SJP for grounding.

• Supportive Crowd: Surrounded by longtime friends and colleagues, including HBO network execs and SATC team, making the night both easier and more moving.

  "So rare that you get to stand up on a stage and talk about one of your friends...cry. My whole challenge...was trying to get through it without crying."
  — Kristin Davis (05:11)

• Memorable Moment: SJP was so touched by Kristin’s speech that she needed a tissue—“very, very rare.”

---

3. Red Carpet Realness & Fashion Stress (07:51–10:27)

• Behind the Glamour: Kristin describes the anxiety of preparing for a red carpet after a stretch in “mommy mode,” stressing over nails, tan, and not clashing with SJP.

• Fashion Choices: Eventually chose a simple and elegant black St. John dress.

• Arriving Early: Initial solo photos looked “mad”—an enduring awkwardness of red carpets.

• Friendly Faces: Arrival of Evan Handler (Harry), David Eigenberg, SJP’s family, and other friends put her at ease.

  "Being on a red carpet with a bunch of photographers is just never really that comfortable."
  — Kristin Davis (10:28)

---

4. Guests, Glam, and Celebrity Encounters (16:07–19:49)

• Guest List Highlights: Viola Davis and Tessa Thompson (presenting to Helen Mirren), Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Harrison Ford, Walton Goggins, and a host of SATC/HBO family.

• Walton Goggins Anecdote: Kristin describes rescuing old friend Walton Goggins from an overly affectionate group of fans.

  "There was a gaggle [of fans] at one point, and I felt worried for him...of course, Walton can handle himself."
  — Kristin Davis (18:09)

• Reflections on Overstimulation: The night’s energy was so intense, Kristin barely slept—par for the course at major award nights.

---

5. Ceremony Details & SJP’s Career Reflections (19:49–24:11)

• Matthew Broderick’s Rare Toast: SJP’s husband spoke movingly about their history and his memories of her early SATC days.

• SJP’s Acceptance Speech: Sarah Jessica Parker shared unknown stories from her youth in theater, including a special Cincinnati/Broadway connection that surprised even Kristin.

  "I saw Sarah Jessica play an orphan in Annie on Broadway when we were in our tweens, which is insane."
  — Kristin Davis (21:13)

• Cosmic Connections: Kristin details a full-circle moment—she saw SJP act on Broadway as a child, acted in the same theater community years later, and acknowledges “insane” life and career parallels.

• SJP Honored (But Too Young?): Jokes about SJP being “too young” for a lifetime achievement award, but notes the breadth and quality of her career.

  "We have gotten to do something that we love so much for so long and now we're being recognized...It boggles the mind."
  — Kristin Davis (23:45)

---

6. Final Thoughts, Happy Tears & HBO Shoutouts (24:11–25:14)

• Overflowing Gratitude: Kristin admits she’s “still not over” the emotion from the night, emphasizing her happiness for SJP.

• Upcoming Podcast Hopes: Expresses excitement about HBO’s “Heated Rivalry”—jokingly refers to it as the “hockey show”—and determination to get Connor, one of its actors, on the podcast.

  "I'm just trying all the ways. All the ways. Okay, so cross your fingers."
  — Kristin Davis (24:56)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

  “Every time I watch an episode, I’m just like, she’s so brilliant. Oh, my gosh. Like, I didn’t even know how brilliant she was at the time. I mean, I knew she was brilliant, but, but every time I rewatch, I’m even more impressed.”

Hi, I'm Kristen Davis and I want.

[Charlotte]

To know, are you a Charlotte?

[Kristin Davis]

Hello everybody. I hope you guys are having a great day. I was just going to do just a little episode about this really, really fun event that we got to do week for Sarah Jessica. It's a brand new thing that the Golden Globes are doing where they do an evening before the Golden Globes called Golden Eve, and they give out two awards. And the award Sarah Jessica got is the Carol Burnett. It's basically a lifetime achievement award in comedy. And then also Dame Helen Mirren was getting The Cecil B. DeMille Award, which is basically a lifetime achievement award in film. So they did a whole special dinner, a special evening for these two awards. We got to have a bit of a reunion. We were missing Cynthia because she, she's on Broadway. But it was really, really fun. Completely nerve wracking because I had to speak and I was very scared. But it was an incredible evening. I'm really still processing it. It was really intense. There were tears, there was a lot of laughter. It was really, really fun. My, my big obstacles to the evening, number one, was that I really felt so much kind of pressure, but in a good way pressure to speak about Sarah Jessica because I love her so much, as you guys know. But also, I'm just, I, when I look at her entire career, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm just in awe and blown away. And as you know, I'm rewatching the show and every time I watch an episode, I'm, I'm just like, she's so brilliant. Oh, my gosh. Like, I didn't even know how brilliant she was at the time. I mean, I knew she was brilliant, but, but every time I rewatch, I'm even more impressed. So I really wanted to convey that. But I also wanted to convey what an incredible person she was, but that's.

[Charlotte]

Really hard to do.

[Kristin Davis]

So they sent me a speech. And I don't know if you guys know, I'm sober. I've been sober a really long time. They sent me a speech basically about Cosmopolitans. So I was a little confused, I guess, that, that there's, you know, you're kind of toasting the winners and during the evening. And so they did give everyone a Cosmopolitan on the table. And luckily Colman Domingo stepped in to toast Sarah Jessica with the Cosmo because it was just fairly, I was, I was like, I, I, I don't think that's the job for me to discuss the Cosmopolitan and toast with it since I don't actually drink it. And they were, of course, very understanding. And so I wrote my own speech, which I felt like I needed to do so that it could be, you know, what I want to Say from my heart to her. Because it's so rare. It's so rare that you get to stand up on a stage and talk about one of your friends cry. So my whole challenge, the whole night was trying to get through it without crying. And then I had gone to rehearse and you know how they put those cards up with the pictures of the actors and people that are going to be there, who is directly in front of the microphone but Harrison Ford. So I was like, okay, now I've met Harrison before. He's lovely, but he is still Harrison Ford. There is nothing that can change that, right? So I have to not be completely shut down by the fact that Harrison Ford is sitting there looking at me. So luckily, Sarah Jessica was at the other table right in front of me. So my goal, and I do think I was able to do this, was to look at her. Obviously, I've been in many work situations with her and, you know, tune into her, talk to her, but also, you know, remember that I'm talking to the bigger audience about her. And I do feel like I do did well. I did what I wanted to do. And I know this because she had to get a tissue out, which is very, very rare, you guys. Very, very rare. But then I also had a moment of panic of am I actually going to be able to finish if she now has a tissue out? And I can see her being moved and I am still having to talk. So that was challenging, but I did it. I did it. And part of the reason that I to do it is because so many friends were in the audience, basically all of HBO came Casey Bloys, who I love so much. Carolyn Strauss, our original head of original programming at HBO when we made the show. Incredible to see Straussy, as we call her, Amy Harris, one of our writers, you know, I could just go on and on. Kevin Huvain, who's been Sarah's agent for 30 years, who he loves so, so desperately. People who have been in her life and my life for such a long time. And we're such a pep squad to me at the table. So basically we go luckily. So first I got there okay. First, I couldn't decide what to wear. I'll take you through the whole thing because I haven't been on a red carpet in a while and I also haven't been working in a while. So I'm just in mommy mode. My nails are a mess. I don't have a fake tan. Like so many things people, it's so much work. I can't Even tell you. So I've been in a bit of a low grade stress place because also it's just basically right after the holidays, right? So you're in holiday mode and then all of a sudden you're in like red carpet mode. Very challeng. I have a wonderful stylist, Samantha McMillan, and she got me two gorgeous, gorgeous dresses. It was really hard to figure out what to wear because we couldn't exactly understand what the event was because they've never filmed it to make a TV special of it before. So that was odd. And I wasn't 100% sure what Sarah was going to wear. My goal is usually not necessarily to know exactly what she's wearing, but I don't want to clash with her. So I usually try to check in with her or Alyssa who works with her and just say like, hey, I've got a brown dress, I've got a black dress. Is there anything I should think about? They're always like, whatever you want. But I knew that she was going to wear something sparkly. I had a head to toe brown sequin dress that I loved, love very much. Then I had the dress I ended up wearing which was very beautiful black, simple dress by St. John with that kind of almost like a necklace halter top. So it was super easy to wear. Both of them were super easy to wear. And I couldn't decide till the very last minute. So I had my hair, Marcus Francis, who I love so much. My makeup, Heather Curry, who I love so much. They came over, Samantha came over, everybody conferred. And because I had already gone to rehearse, I had filmed the room at the time and the room was kind of gold and purple, beautiful flowers. They did a really beautiful job to, to me, much more beautiful than the room that we actually did the Golden Globes in which has like this semi hideous carpet unless they've changed it. But that room is really huge and overwhelming in terms of the number of people, but also just the number of famous faces. It's like fully overwhelming. This was a more intimate room, but still a lot of famous faces. Still overwhelming, but in a more intimate way. So when we looked at the footage of the room, we decided to go with the black. And I'm glad I did because I was more complimentary to Sarah Jessica. I definitely felt that I was there support Sarah Jessica, you know, which is like, you have to really navigate that. You know, you want to look good, but you don't want to be, you know, I'm not getting an award, she's getting an award. I feel like that's important. So I'm happy to be there in a support element. And I loved my St. John dress, and they gave me a little jacket because I was really worried I was going to be freezing. And then I got some gorgeous earrings, and, you know, my hair was down, so I felt less, less naked. But then I got to the red carpet a little bit early because there's construction all around the Beverly Hilton, and I was really worried I would be late. So I got there a little bit early. Nobody was there yet. I saw these pictures of me in the red carpet, and I look really mad, and I did not feel really mad, but I feel like being on a red carpet with a bunch of photographers is just never really that comfortable. You know, people sometimes are like, why is she making that face? Why is she posing like that about me, but also about everybody else?

[Charlotte]

But it's.

[Kristin Davis]

Because it's just odd, you know, It's a very odd thing. So the first pictures I saw, I was like, oh, no, I look really mad. But then Evan came and he brought his daughter Sophia. He plays Harry for anyone who doesn't know. It was such a joy to see him. David Eigenberg came and brought his daughter. Then Sarah Jessica and Matthew, her husband, Matthew Broderick, who I love and know obviously very well, and their son James Wilkie, who I've been talking to since he was, you know, in the womb. They came and then I felt super great. And then I looked fine for the rest of the evening and not so mad, which was good. So they came. It was amazing. It was so much fun. I didn't know that everyone was going to bring their children. I'm sure my daughter's going to be mad that she wasn't there. And then all of our friends came, as I was saying, which was really great.

[Charlotte]

You ever get in a car and think, okay, this changes everything? That's exactly how I felt getting into the all new Hyundai Palisade hybrid. Now, I know hybrid SUV probably makes you think fuel economy first, which, by the way, yes, the thing gets up to 600 plus miles of range. But that is just scratching the surface. The new Palisade hybrid is redefining what it means to drive an suv. For starters, let's talk about interior space. It's class leading, which is just a fancy way of saying that the whole crew and everyone's gonna be comfy. You've got seating for seven or eight passengers, and yes, that available third row power seating that reclines. Game changer. There are available front and second row relaxation seats. Basically a spa day on wheels. And and an available class exclusive blind spot view monitor that shows you a video feed of your blind spot right in the dash. How smart is that? There's even an available class exclusive built in dash cam so whether it's a scenic drive or someone cuts you off and pretends like it didn't happen, you've got the receipts. And if you're all about the sound experience like me, the available Bose 14 speaker audio system is going to blow you away. I also love the tech forward touches like standard 100 watt USB C ports because fast charging is non negotiable these days and the standard passenger talk intercom that lets you chat with people in.

[Kristin Davis]

The back without yelling. Ah moms, you know what I'm talking about.

[Charlotte]

But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listener? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that.

[Kristin Davis]

Adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look.

[Charlotte]

For a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery and I found the most amazing Mugler jacket.

[Kristin Davis]

And the costume department loved it and it felt so good and I still have it at home.

[Charlotte]

Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you.

[Kristin Davis]

Ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit.

[Charlotte]

Of finding those pieces that feel like you.

So then we go into the room. A lot of fun, fun people came. Viola Davis came to give Helen Mirren her award. Love, Viola, so, so, so much. Tessa Thompson came to give Helen Mirren the award. I'd never met her, but she's incredible. And we chatted a lot. It was really, really fun. So many great people. Ted Danson, Mary Steenberge and his wife. Incredible. Harrison Ford, as I already mentioned. Then I look across the room and I see my friend Walton Goggins, and I'm so excited. I've known Walton a long time because our kids went to school together. And, you know, he's an incredible actor, and he's been acting forever. But of course, he was on the White Lotus, did an unbelievable job and blew up, as you guys all know. And I have been so excited. And we've been texting each other intermittently, you know, just watching him go on snl. I mean, all of the things he's been doing, he's just been doing such a great job. And that really is who he is. Like, he's just an incredibly fascinating guy. He's always been hot like that. I just don't think that people knew. I remember I had. I had someone ask me before the show would come on, like, you know, is he hot? And I was like, yes, are you kidding? And I think now everyone knows that he is, in fact, hot. But there was this one thing that was always feeling a little worried for him because he's across the room. He's not sitting near us. And I just saw him surrounded by these women. There were a lot of women around him. They were all touching him. I know him, and I know his wife, Nadia. I love Nadia very much. And I was like, I need to go over there and help Walton out of this situation. And there was this one woman who was just like, you're so hot. You're so hot. She just kept telling him over, and I was like, okay. Like, back off. And then she was like, and your wife, too. And I was like, okay. And of course, Walton can handle himself. I'm sure he was fine. But there was a gaggle. There was a gaggle at one point, and I felt worried for him. So I did go over, and I get to have a really great chat with him. And I just, you know, of course, told him again how thrilled I am for him, and he's having a great time, which is nice. So that was really, really nice. It's good to see people that you haven't seen in a while. That's kind of the best part of going to these. These big award shows is you just get to just see everybody and chat and connect, and it's fun. You know, it's very overwhelming. Like, I did not sleep last night at all. Like, you cannot calm down. And I remember back in the olden days when we went to these things a lot. I just didn't sleep. I mean, we would go out, of course, to the different HBO parties and whatever. It wasn't that type of night last night, thank God, because I don't know if I could have handled it. But, like, it's just kind of like a sensory overload in a way. So I had to speak. I was very nervous. I didn't know the run of show. They hadn't explained to me exactly the run of show. So I just knew that I was in the first half hour. They fed us first, which was great, but I had a little trouble eating because I was so nervous, and I just didn't quite know what time when I would go right. Or even I knew that Coleman was giving the toast, and then they would pass to me, and I would have to get up and wind my way through this very crowded audience up to the stage, and I was just hoping I could get up there, which I did. So I was nervous. I couldn't relax, Couldn't relax, Couldn't relax. Then the show starts, and Matthew started the show. And Matthew rarely, rarely talks intimately about Sarah Jessica. So I know that he was very nervous, and he did such A great job. He got up, he opened the show, and then he got up again to actually present her with her award.

[Charlotte]

And.

[Kristin Davis]

And it was so great because he talked about so many details. He talked about what she was wearing, when he met her, what he remembers about when he met her, which is just so incredible to think about. He remembers when they got the script for the pilot of Sex and the City and what he thought. And so he told us what he thought, and then he told us what he said to her, which is interesting. I know she knew everything he was thinking that he thinks he didn't say. But it was really funny to hear. And she, when she accepted her reward, told so many great. Just stories about her beginning love for performing. And there was a story that I didn't actually know. All of which is so crazy, because. So if you don't know. Sarah Jessica has been acting since she was a child, I think roughly 10, I want to say. And when she was, I want to say 12, 12 or 13, she was in Annie on Broadway. And when I was young, I was in South Carolina, but I loved theater and I loved acting already. And my parents took me to see Annie on Broadway, and I saw Sarah Jessica play an orphan in Annie on Broadway when we were in our tweens, which is insane. But even crazier than that, after I got out of college, I went to college as an actor, BFA in acting. I thought I would just do regional theater. And I was praying to God I might get a Broadway show one day. I went to Cincinnati, where Sarah was born and where she was raised in her young years. And I did a play, Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare, at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, a beautiful theater up on a hill in Cincinnati. I did not know that Sarah Jessica's mother met Sarah Jessica's father at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. And all of her siblings were. Went to the rehearsals, where their parents, not her biological father, but her father who raised her, met and performed. And at one point the director said to the cast, those kids know this score of Once Upon a Mattress, which I'll get to in a second, better than you guys do, meaning the cast, meaning Sarah and her brothers and sisters knew the score better. And was that director not right and, like, prescient in what he was saying about those kids? Yes, he was. Now, the other crazy connection is Sarah Jessica was getting the Carol Burnett Award. Carol Burnett originated the role in Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway. And when I met Sarah for Sex and the City, she was on Broadway playing the lead Role in Once Upon a Mattress. And I saw her. Is that not so many connections? Can you even believe that? And I didn't even know this story about her parents meeting and doing a play, Once Upon a Mattress at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. I mean, it's really insane. So anyway, it was a full circle moment in so many ways. A full circle evening. It was insane. Sarah and I did discuss that she is too young to be getting a lifetime achievement award. It is weird, you know, like, how did this happen? What is going on? But on the other hand, for me, I'm just thrilled that they're honoring her. I'm thrilled that they're, you know, recognizing her contributions through her whole entire career. Like, once they started playing the clips of all of her different performances, I mean, it's just so much fun to watch LA Story if you guys haven't seen it. Incredible. Honeymoon in Vegas. Incredible. I mean, she's done so much family Stone. I'm sure you've seen. I mean, so, so, so many things where you're like, ah. And I mean, of course, then they show they had a package of Sex and the City, which, of course, is always fun to watch, as we all know, because we're rewatching it. But it was a really, really fun evening. A really fun evening. And I mean, it's just such a rare, rare thing to have this kind of experience in life where we have gotten to do something that we love so much for so long and that now we're being, like, recognized and I'm able to be there and help honor her. It boggles the mind. I'm just so lucky. And I'm gonna cry again.

[Dr. Priyanka Walley]

But anyway, it was good.

[Kristin Davis]

Good evening. Yeah, I'm still not over it. Yeah, it was a lot, but it was good. Anyway, we're gonna show you guys the pictures. And it was happy. Don't let my tears fool you. It was all happy, but it really did. It means a lot. All right, that's it. Also, I got to talk a lot about heated rivalry. I find that the weirdest title I always want to say. The hockey show. I got to talk to a lot of people about the hockey show yesterday. I got to talk about all our HBO peeps, and I just congratulated them on buying that show because, man, is it something. And I got to work on trying to get Connor on the podcast, you guys. I'm just trying all the ways. All the ways. Okay, so cross your fingers. I mean, look, any of them. I'd like to talk to any of them. But Connor seems to be living in LA and around, and I know people who know him. So I'm working on it, guys. I'm working on it.

It's a new year, and on the podcast health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means.

[Hari Kondabolu]

Being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.
