"Sabrina and Felix are desperately trying to get a meeting with Lucy but first they have to go through me," she told TV Guide.
She also revealed there will be a number of names crossing over from GH to her show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
"Yes, we have Finola Hughes (Anna), Ian Buchanan (Duke), Jason Thompson (Patrick) and [head writer] Ron Carlivati coming on Millionaire. It'll air around GH's 50th anniversary in April. Such terrific people! I've had some wonderful opportunities thanks to these crazy jobs of mine, particularly Millionaire and The View and Today," she said.
She also spoke about her appearance in The Lion King on Broadway: "I was one of the bird women in the "Circle of Life" number — and it was almost ended my life! I wore this big headdress and a bird on each arm and had to walk up a flight of stairs with no railing. I was told, "If you fall, don't get up. Just lie there and wait until the ambulance comes."
Vieira also laughed at how she is now perceived as willing to do anything, after stints on 60 Minutes as well as The View.
She told TV Guide, "I was sure I was flushing all my credibility down the toilet. [Laughs] And I pretty much did. But it all ended up being great. Now, as you can see, I'll do anything."
