How do you think you’d fare on _Big Brother _as a contestant? It depends on what decade in my life [I would have competed]. I know at this point I would not fare well, because over the last
24 years, the competitions [have become] next level. They are so hard physically. Maybe when I was in my 30s, I could compete physically and mentally. But now, at age 53, there’s no way. IS
THERE A REALITY SHOW YOU’D LIKE TO COMPETE ON? I would go on_ [The] Amazing Race_ with my sister — again, 10 years ago. When _Amazing Race_ came on the scene, my sister and I were like, _We
could clean up._ We travel well together. We speak shorthand. We’re good at puzzles. We’re smart. We’re physical. We have a good sense of humor and we speak another language. You take us to
China, we’re good. We speak Mandarin, which is my first language. I wanted to do _Dancing With the Stars_ at one point, but these joints [now] say no. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TALENTS THAT WE
DON’T KNOW ABOUT? I’m a really good mimic. If I didn’t do all this, and if I were right out of college, I would probably apply to be on_ Saturday Night Live._ I don’t have a stand-up bit,
but I’ve been told, ‘You’re a very good mimic.’ [I mimic] family members, my husband, my kids. … I’m rusty now, because since I started my walk with God a few years ago [Chen became a
born-again Christian during the COVID-19 pandemic], I’m like, _Oh maybe that’s not what I should be doing._ I do it in jest, but when I do it, everyone laughs until you imitate them. Then
they’re certainly not laughing. TELL ME ABOUT THOSE CUTE DOG POSTS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA. Mei Mei and Mochi are my fur babies. They’re Labradoodles. They are salt and pepper, sugar and spice.
Mei Mei we got seven years ago when my son [with husband and former CBS CEO Leslie Moonves] turned 7 as a birthday present. Mei Mei means two things — little sister and beautiful — in
Mandarin. We wanted to get a friend for Mei Mei, so we got Mochi a few years later, only to realize Mei Mei is a one-woman show. She was not happy when we brought Mochi home. But Mochi is
all spunk. She thinks she’s Ricochet Rabbit, and he’s such a rascal. One is demure and sweet, and the other one’s a rascal. So there is a perfect blend for this family.
