Speaking to Us Weekly's Alexandra Houck, Walters said that while her most distinguished person has yet to be revealed, Cowell sure impressed during their sit-down chat.

"He was very outspoken and funny and charming," Walters said of Cowell, whom she interviewed on a Saturday before flying back home on a redeye flight the next day. "I watch him on the air and he can be so wicked and mean. I loved him! I loved being with him. If it hadn't been a good interview I would have killed him!" she joked.
