The America's Got Talent host and Stern started off the interview by talking about a Lupus flare-up earlier. Stern was pretty concerned about it and asked if Cannon was taking care of himself. According MarksFriggin, Cannon also shared the fact that Stern was one of the only people in the entertainment industry that cared about him when he was having his health issue and took the time to call him.

Stern also told Cannon that he was going to miss working with him. They spoke about the emails revealed by the Sony hack, which revealed that Simon Cowell didn't want Stern on America's Got Talent anymore.

Cannon thinks that Stern and Cowell should have a conversation about it all.

"He said he has Lupus and it attacks his kidneys. He said that he had kidney failure and he thought he was healthy," according to MF.

The doctors were able to get Cannons kidneys working again but he told Stern that he gets blood clots it's really serious stuff.

Cannon said that a lot of it is brought on by stress and many people actually don't know that.

Stern let his listeners know that Cannon was always working hard on the shows and Cannon admitted to having five cell phones at one point.

Meanwhile, the two jumped into a discussion about all of the women that Cannon is surrounded by. Cannon admitted to loving women especially the conversation and connecting emotionally.
