He told USA TODAY: 'It's all memorable. It's kind of insane, if you think about it — you're talking about possibly the most famous person in the world.

'He's the most respected musician on the planet, and that he would come to do a segment on our show is mind-blowing to me. 

'He told me a story about how he wrote "Let It Be," which I'd never heard before. It really moved me, so I can't wait to share it with people.'
