Robin Roberts visited RACHAEL RAY today and shared a story remembering her friend, Mike Nichols. She recalled spending a THANKSGIVING holiday with her mother at Mike and Diane Sawyer's.

Robin on the THANKSGIVING she and her mother spent with Mike Nichols and Diane Sawyer:

"One of the best THANKSGIVING memories I have, in their home; it was shortly after my father had passed away, and my mom said, 'Honey, I don't want to have a family Thanksgiving, I want to do something totally different.' Going to Mike and Diane's for THANKSGIVING was something that was totally different! And the people that were there, it was just absolutely wonderful.

"And it was so cute. Mama, that was her first time meeting Mike, so she's just chatting away, and she goes back home to Mississippi, and she tells her friends, 'Oh, I met Diane's husband, Mike.' And [they're] like, 'You know that was Mike Nichols, right?' 'Oh, really! no kidding!'

"She had no idea, that was the beauty of it! Had no idea. Just loved him for being who is; he was just so full of life. Wonderful memories."

Robin's full chat with Rachael will air next Wednesday, November 26.
