He&rsquo;ll almost certainly say &ldquo;good morning&rdquo; in that way of his later today (the keynote starts at 10 a.m. Pacific). But after that, he may only get to say it in closed-door board meetings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/tim-cook-apple-ceo-john-ternus\" data-lasso-id=\"1642042658\">as executive chairman<\/a>, or in minor public appearances. So ahead of the big software show, a stable of celebrities goofed around saying the phrase in various ways in a minute-long video.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iVv4DEkaz8\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/iVv4DEkaz8<\/a><br \/>&mdash; Tim Cook (@tim_cook) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tim_cook\/status\/2063973568787226897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">June 8, 2026<\/a><br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>Stars showing up in the video include Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent in hit Apple TV comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/apple-tv-plus\/ted-lasso\" data-lasso-id=\"1642042660\"><em>Ted Lasso<\/em><\/a> &mdash; with a nice fat F-bomb in between &ldquo;good&rdquo; and &ldquo;morning&rdquo; &mdash; late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, actor and comedian Whoopi Goldberg, country singer Lainey Wilson, DJ and producer Zedd and actor Rhea Seehorn from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/reviews\/pluribus-season-1-review\" data-lasso-id=\"1642042661\"><em>Pluribus<\/em><\/a>, plus a few others.<br \/>Cook pops up here and there in between celebs with a laugh or another reaction, like shaking his head in response to Goldstein&rsquo;s F-bombs.<br \/>&ldquo;Thanks for the ideas,&rdquo; Cook says at the end of the video. &ldquo;I think I&rsquo;ll say it the way I always say it. <em>Good morning<\/em>!&rdquo;<br \/>When it comes to Ternus and whatever he might say, it could just be another version of &ldquo;good morning.&rdquo; After all, late Apple co-founder and CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/steve-jobs\" data-lasso-id=\"1642042662\">Steve Jobs<\/a> uttered the phrase to kick off events, too. But Cook managed to make it a meme that will be his forever. Gotta wonder if Ternus is losing sleep over his choice of phrases, or possibly consulting with marketing experts.&nbsp;<br \/><b>David Snow<\/b>, an expert on Apple hardware and software, writes on a variety of technological and cultural topics for <em>Cult of Mac<\/em>.
