In this episode of The Drink, NBC News anchor Kate Snow sits down with reality TV icon Lauren Conrad.

The two met at NARO in Rockefeller Plaza, chatting over Lauren’s drink of choice: a Hugo Spritz. 

Lauren takes Kate BACK, back to the beginning! The two chat about it all: how she ended up on Laguna Beach and The Hills, why she always saw reality TV as temporary, the scrutiny that came with growing up in the public eye, and how different her life might have been if MTV had never shown up at her high school all those years ago.

The Drink is Kate Snow’s interview series featuring candid conversations with actors, authors, athletes, and visionaries — all over a beverage of their choice.
