011. How To Get Ahead In Interviewing
The series opens with one of Ruby's last interviewees - Donald Trump - in a tense encounter and uncomfortable watch for Ruby. Plus the central figure of the trial of the 20th century: OJ Simpson.
022. Girls On Top
Unlike any other host before or since, Ruby was revolutionary in meeting more female guests than male. This episode looks back at these revealing, entertaining and unguarded meetings.
033. Fame Over
Ruby was never afraid to interview the notorious as well as the exalted. This episode looks at all aspects of fame, including those whose celebrity has since nosedived. Ruby flies to the Philippines to meet the infamous Imelda Marcos and track down her famous shoes, gets into a bath with Roseanne Barr and has a frightening encounter with Bill Cosby. Drew Barrymore explains how she survived the pitfalls of being a child star, Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss reveals the downside of unwanted fame - but not the names in her little black book - and Jim Carrey turns on the high-octane Hollywood charm. Finally Ruby discusses, with her daughters Maddy and Marina Bye, the impact fame has had on her life, and her struggle with mental illness.
