Women on Women at the Gracie Awards

Last night, our Jada Yuan caught up with lady news makers like Jill Hennessy, Julia Allison, and Ashleigh Banfield at the Gracie Awards, which honors women in media. Unsurprisingly, the guests and honorees had a lot to say. On her Today ancestor Katie Couric's unpopularity on the evening news, Hoda Kotb suggested that "viewers like to wake up with Mom and go to bed with Dad." And on male comedic counterparts, Chelsea Handler offered up that she is ready to kick some ass. "Jimmy Fallon I could take in a fight," she said. Click above to hear more, including the name of the one woman who most of last night's guests think is the most powerful in the world. VIDEO by Jonah Green.

@jethrodassam i think 'schoolyard bully' is a more fitting analogy

[lukeshytalker02]

@alinsav yeah its like the world series of baseball, its not a world series at all lol, americans are very insular

[jethrodassam]

Every now and then one of your kids get out of line, and they need a spanking. It's just using a little tough love.

[alinsav]

U.S.A counts only for you, i don't care too much about U.S.A

[jethrodassam]

It's just the U.S.A. that counts. We are the world leader, and we go to war when another country is not behaving. It's a tough job, like parents keeping their children in line.
