The former “Curb Your Enthusiasm” cast member visited the show to promote her upcoming memoir, “Unscripted,” but spent much of her time dealing with tough talk about RFK Jr.
Sunny Hostin accused him of spreading “misinformation,” “chaos,” and “confusion,” claiming Kennedy was the “least qualified” head of HHS in history.

Hines insisted her husband was just being attacked for asking questions at a time when little was known about COVID-19. The conversation escalated to the point that co-host Joy Behar felt obliged to take down the temperature — sort of.
“Before you go, so that I don’t have to make any jokes about it, does [RFK, Jr.] have or does he not have a brain worm?” Behar asked, referring to a story that became public during the 2024 election.

“It ate a little bit of his brain and died, so don’t worry,” Hines said.
“So it’s a dead brain worm?” Behar asked, as her co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, expressed shock.
“What died? Wait, what? The brain died? Wait, wait, wait!” Goldberg exclaimed.

“It’s a callback to the campaign,” Hines said. “You’ve got to read my book. That was just one tiny headline in a mountain of crazy.”
