Thank god my son and daughter are a piece of pie compared to bringing a show to broadway. If somebody said the writing is the easy part compared to getting it produced and getting it to broadway. There are so many aspects that have to all come together at the same time. Tonight my emotions are very much on the surface. I can see. Ive had to be so gritty, steady eddie. Its going to be a fun red carpet before. Everyone from the show is coming, matt, savannah, al, natalie. So many people here, regis and joy will be there with bells on. Absolutely. My hodi woman who got me through this. You know who my date is . Liza minnelli we are going to have a lot of fun. Liza knows something about the theater. This woman is a legend in broadway. These are great tshirts that say scandalous on them. Beautiful. Were going to have some fun tonight. It does feel a lot like giving birth. Thats joyful and painful at the same time. I want to thank everybody, thank you all so much for it. Our sara is coming, too. Of course. Speaking of joyful and painful, we did Anderson Cooper yesterday. Its going to air on tuesday. The 20th, i think. There was a moment that happened before the show starts. Usually to get the audience all lathered up theres someone who works the audience and plays music and what not. Here is the drinking before. Here is what happened before the show started. We had a funky dance party. There was music, by the way. Here is a video of you guys. There was music, by the way. Lets show the video of you guys. Thats fantastic. The guy was cranking it. Spanking added an extra dimension. His name was jeff. He was one of the fun and raucous Anderson Cooper audience member. The only one i knew was the 360 degrees Anderson Cooper. Whos a very fine reporter and very seriousminded. I had no idea what a party animal he can be. Hes a very cheap date. We did get him a little tipsy. No, gone. He kept saying throughout the show. Im buzzed. Like blurting stuff out. It was perfect. We had a lot of fun with him. We want to thank him for that. Apparently theres been an update in the ongoing feud of the century between Chelsea Handler and hoda and i, yeah. Anyway, we told you about it. She was supposed to show up and she didnt because canceled about an hour and half before the show. Hit her eye on the shower curtain then later had food poisoning. Allegedly. But anyway, she decided to set the record straight on her own show. This is what she had to say. I have to apologize to the today today show for an interview and then i didnt show up and i lied. But to hoda kotoba and kathie lee im sorry. I really am usually professional but i just couldnt make it. Half hearted but at least shes not lying. I dont know why. Apology accepted. All right. Welcome her back anytime. All right. So vogue magazine comes out with its best dressed women of the year. Well give you the top three. This surprised me. I havent seen this lady about. From the good life. She has an exotic look. Number two on the list was from the girl with the dragon tattoo. . Rooney mera granddaughter of ann mera who will be at scandalous tonight. And also emma stone. She has a great look and she mixes it up a lot. She doesnt have the same look. She is daring. She dut does a lot of different things. The wall street journal came out with an article. There are new rules for flirting, okay . Elizabeth bernstein has been here before. She writes great articles. It opens doors, but sometimes can cause problems. Think, some people are flirtatious by nature, and some people turn it on to get what they want. Some flirt to get out of traffic tickets. Thats happened many times. Really . You flirt . I found the best way is to be extremely gracious, not flirting because that can i am so sorry. No, you have to juice it a little. Oh, hoda. You cant go, i was going 60 Miles Per Hour in a 45. Officer, im so sorry. How fast was i going . Oh, my gosh, my kid is i would tell the truth in a very sincere way. I wouldnt go, gee, what am i in for, officer . You can do that. It works better. How much time am i going to do in the slammer . I dont know. I dont like to be around women that are just falling over someone. There is too much flirting and subtle, normal flirting. Hodi is a very, very tactile woman. I am and i think some people read into it in the wrong way. Men, if you touch them, men will think youre ready to hop into the sack. Yeah. Thats why it bothers frank so much. Youre tactile, too. And a night like tonight with a lot of people wishing me well will be the biggest nightmare in the world for frank. Hell hate it. Not as much as youre going to hate my ihoda song. Ive been dying for this one. This may be one of my favorite ihoda songs ever. Youre going to hate it. Its going to take you back to a time when you couldnt sit, you had to dance. It is called the humpty dance by digital underground. Youre going to love it. My body is in motion anyone can play this game this is my dance yall you got it down humpty hump. Shaking and bumping step off im doing the hump ready . No. Do the humpty hump, do the humpty hump im speechless. How do you do the hump . What does it look like . Does anybody else think that is strange . Come on. Sara, everybody is holding their nose. Doesnt that take you back . Awesome. That song is so great. You know whats awesome, okay or not okay . Is it okay to have a work spouse relationship . You say absolutely. I had a work husband for 15 years they still adore. Anybody ever heard of r egis . As long as your real husband is okay with it. Cassidy used to say you have the musical taste of a 17yearold, no, its 12yearold. We are now drinking the beaujolais nouveau. It arrives he year on the third thursday of november to celebrate the first wine of the harvest. So happy harvest to george du bouef. Congratulations to don nash.

The fate of ten finalists rests solely in the hands of the viewers at home. One of the finalists, trevin hunt, floored the judges monday night. Take a listen. When a man loves a woman down deep in his soul she can bring him such misery sing it tell everybody what you were telling us. Carson daly with us. Good morning. What did somebody tell him . I said i want some wine. No, you didnt. Somebody gave him a negative review. Trevin hunt from right here in new york. In eighth grade needed a recommendation, a signature from a fellow educator to go on, to get this music recommendation to go to the music school. They said youll never amount to anything. Youll never be anything. Look at him now. Great story. About your show, by the way, when i heard the number of votes on the last Elimination Round exceeded the amount of votes on the finale of last years voice shows how much this show has grown. Its unbelievable. It is. We had the super bowl. Season one, what is this new show . Is there room for another one of these shows . People believed in what we were doing. We have coaches, not judges, authentic, authentic, authentic. Season two off the super bowl. Season three, people found the show. Good. Other things are fading and other things are eclipsing. And thats what happens. And youre changing it up. You dont keep the same rules. You made it a little different. We looked at season two. Everybody loves the blind auditions, the big red chairs, you play along at home, hard to beat that. We figured we would introduce the steal. So much great talent was leaving and we cant let these people go. We introduced the steal where the coaches were incentivized to look at the other teams and keep their eye on people. Its the steals have been effective for this season in making the middle part of our format exciting. The chairs are back in. Look at terry there, mcdermott. Team blake. We have great talent this year. Youre going to mix it up with the judges in the future. We are. We all knew from day one they are not reality judges by job trade. They are real artists. Theyve got to get out on the road. We refer to it as how lucky are we to have shakira and usher pinchhitting for christina and cee lo next season. We shot a lot of that, by the way. Its awesome in a whole different way but its still the voice. Fun, its great. When something has to be an hour or twohour long show, its structured. I think its interesting how you guys have managed to keep it loosy goosy and it feels free. You say looseygoosey in the morning. We refer to that as drunk. Blake shelton, in particular. We are in love with him. I have to play traffic cop to all the drunk, looseygooseyness. Thats the idea. We are having fun. I wear the ear, i work with the truck, we get the show off the air. They just try to keep it going. They have fun. Their music is going crazy on itunes. That is another way people vote . By downloading the songs . You get extra points for that . Yes. We have a new thing i was talking about where its the multiplier. If they chart in the top ten that could count times ten for their final vote. Itunes has become now the real litmus test for how americas enjoying and buying music. The fact that the voice artists are chartists is crazy. I wish you the best. Youre the best, by the way. Every time i turn you on youre drinking and talking about the voice which is awesome. Thank you. Have a great finale. You can catch the voice next monday night at 8 00 7 00 here on nbc when the top ten sing for your vote. It is a big night for broadway and kathie lee. Opening night for scandalous just hours away. Were going to take you behind the scenes right after this. [ male announcer ] this is sheldon, whose long dy setting up the news starts with arthritis pain and a choice. Take tylenol or take aleve, the 1 recommended pain reliever by orthopedic doctors. Just two aleve can keep pain away all day. Back to the news. The tension between them reached a breaking point, literally. So they divided the production between two separate factories. Each factory took a vastly different approach. Left twix flowed caramel on cookie, while right twix cascaded caramel on cookie. Left twix bathed in chocolate, while right twix cloaked in chocolate. Both bars as different as the vastly distinct men who invented them. To this day, sharing nothing but a wrapper and an illdesigned driveway. Try both and pick a side. In case you havent heard, tonight is a big night for my good friend to my left here kathie lee. Its safe to say tonight is right up there after marrying frank and having two amazing children. Thats because tonight the lights shine on broadway for scandalous the musical. Kathie lee has poured her heart and soul in this for a dozen of years writing the book and lyrics. Because i have a connection, i got a behind the scenes look before the curtain goes up tonight. Take a look. We have a little show called scandalous. Lets talk about scandalous. Kathie lee giffords musical is going to broadway. Yeah, baby should we sing the song . Hooray for hollywood from Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple Kathie Lee is out to change all that with scandalous a musical based on the life of evangelist aimee semple mcpherson. How would you describe her in a nutshell . A woman in history who has fallen through the cracks. She went on to become the most scandalous, controversial yet celebrated woman of her day. Stop, youre drifting away from the faith of your fathers. 12 years ive been physically writing and trying to get it produced on broadway. Everybody agrees she was the best, though, right . She was really, really strong. We had four workshops, i think. Two large out of town regional productions, well over 1,000 rewrites. Its all part of the process. I was fighting for every chance i got. You and emma jo. Who needs good news Carolee Carmello in my mind is the finest working actress in the musical theater. There is not another actress i can think of who could play aimee the way carolee does. This is aimees home away from home, the Neil Simon Theater on broadway. This is such an exciting time. The cast, the crew, the Creative Team have been working round the clock to get this baby ready for Opening Night. Are they ready . Lets go backstage and find out. Oh, my god hoda woman is it time . Its almost. We are about a half hour from curtain. Wait. You are center stage. This is the Neil Simon Theater. Would you like me to introduce you to some of the folks . Take me back. What goes into it. This way first. Of course. We heard a rumor the hotty with the body ed hot watts is here. One of the highlights for many of the women, you see something that is happening underneath this robe. What could it be . He plays adam. Adam and eve. Ive lost hoda woman. Are you talking . I hope he makes it for curtain. Opening nights knocking on the door, are you ready . A girls got to do what a girls got to do. Sing a little of it. Girls gotta do what a girls gotta do a girl aint got to do it no more how does it feel being this close to opening . Im scared to death. Caramel, my lovely wig master here is prepping my hair to be put under two wig caps. Here are my microphones which live on the back of my head. In case one goes out there is a backup. I never leave the stage really. Youve been on this project since its infancy. Yeah, the early 40s. Can you believe it . Its like Opening Night on broadway. She doesnt know whether to kiss me or curse me. Youre going to sit there in the audience and watch that curtain go up on Opening Night. What will that be like . I think thats when its finally going to hit me. Its my child and i had a lot of help birthing it and i hope it will live forever and touch peoples hearts. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, hoda. So many people have made a big thing about this taking me 12 years. My two composer friends David Pomerantz and David Friedman have been along with me and they dont get the same attention and thats not right. Theyre just amazing. Going to be a fun Opening Night. This is the best friend in the whole world. Supporting me so much. You know ive got great friends. God gave me you, hoda. Thank you. Thank you.

Lets listen to her story. We had to bully your mother into this. You think that she is ready . I think she is ready. She needs hair color and shes had the same look for a few years. So see what happens. Now that youre inside with us, how are you feeling . I know you were shaking outside. Little nervous, but it will be okay. Excited. Oh, my gosh. Youre in great hands.

Look right at this camera. Thats still a longhaired look. I like that. Lucinda wanted to hold on to her long hair but wanted style. Vanessa gave it to her by shaping it around her face. Notice her beautiful jaw line . The first layer starts at the jaw line to emphasize it. I softened her hair color to make it brighter, prettier. Luxurious. Can we talk to kaitlin . Caitlin is busting. Tell us about what you think of your mom. It looks really good. I like the color and looks like a whole new person. Tell us about the outfit. Looks great on her that blue. And blue matching yours. She said no at first to this makeover. We did kind of bully her into this. Once we got the outfit on, this is andrew marc and kendra scott. She was set. Lucinda, are you happy you did this . Yes, yes. A big round of applause. Join your daughter right over there. Our second lady is renee, 54 from alexandria, illinois. This woman is in town to see scandalous. Im so happy. She isnt used to wearing makeup but she was up for a day of broadway beauty. All right. Renee has the sign, but peg you want this for your dear friend. Youre busting. I am. I am so excited. She always looks the same. She is so pretty. I want her to look like a hotty or glamorous or whatever. What do you think about that, a hotty, is that what you want to look like . I just want to look different. I have had the same look for a long time. And im a grandma, so it would be nice to look different. Louis licari will make you the hottestlooking grandma in the country. All right. That would be great. Renee is a wonderful lady. She is here with her dear friend peg. Lets take one last look at renee and bring the new renee out all ready for broadway. Nice. Beautiful. All right, peg, you want to take it off . Take a look. Oh, my god you look wonderful. Turn around. See what you look like. Oh, my gosh. I dont recognize myself. You look gorgeous. I see a little red in that hair. I love it. Its more like a chestnut brown. What i tried to do here, look at the before, its heavy, too dark. The lighter color makes it softer. That makes her hair look twice as full with a great haircut. Both ladies have this natural pink glossy sheer lipstick. I love it. Peg is busting. I cant believe it. I wouldnt recognize her. You dont look like yourself. Thats what i like about it. She knows what you means. Tell us about this beautiful dress. The attire tonight is festive.

How is it for you . Its a little sad. Weve been doing it for so long and i feel like its become my family this cast and ive become so comfortable with alice. Shes so fun to play. So its a little sad that its all coming to an end. But the Positive Side is i think we had a really good run. Everyone is really going to like this film. Bill ended it in such a beautiful way. Is it a surprise ending . People loved all the books. This is the only time they departed from the actual rendering in the book. Yes. That was brave of them. You always wonder because there are such avid fans of the books. How its going to translate if we change anything. I think what they did was really cool. Im excited for people to see it. How did it author feel about it . Stephanie is now producer on the film, as well. Anything we do totally goes through her. A lot of people know you from this film, but youre just a regular girl who likes to hang out in sweats, you like to bake. I do . We appreciate that. We like that. It suits you. Its interesting. When did that start . Probably more recently. Probably once i got into this industry. Part of it is when my mom comes to visit, thats something we do together. My dad enjoys it because he gets to eat it all. There is something very therapeutic about being in the kitchen and baking. I actually enjoy it more than cooking. I feel like with baking you cant go so wrong. You can experiment a little bit. Its all supposed to taste sweet. Will you have an opportunity to bake for your family this thanksgiving . Will you be home in jacksonville . What are your plans . Yes. Im going to go home to jacksonville which i wasnt planning to originally, but my dad is going to go to mexico.

Time for another installment of ask lou where viewers send in questions about the pesky household problems they dont know how to fix. He knows how to fix everything. Here with the answers today contributor and host of the show house smart, lou manferdini. First question from jennifer. How i do get a disgusting smell out of my Garbage Disposal . I have a love hate relationship but people use them as garbage cans. This is whats under the sink you dont see. This part is what you see, the part where the water goes down. I want you to take any cleaner, pine sol, simple green, spray a little down inside. Take your toilet brush and go down inside here with it off of course and scrub. What happens on the side wall, all that gunky smelly stuff. Rinse, repeat. Youll be amazed how nice and fresh it smells. Thats it. Does it help to put vinegar in there . It would, but you have to scrub. Everybody pours it and its on the side. Youve got to do the scrubbing. Janet has a question about her sump pump. How do we change our sump pump . We had it since the builder installed it in 1996. Its worked just fine but we feel like its time for a new one. A couple of numbers here. Most sump pumps should be replaced every seven years. The switch, this is an example of one should be replaced every three. 1996, youre getting your moneys worth out of it. People lose track. Absolutely. You put it on your calendar. It unplugs. This is similar to what it looks like. This is the check valve. This is the pipe coming out. Take the screwdriver here and remove this from the check valve. Then pull this out of the pit. Then buy a new one. This pipe right here screws in. Thats all it does. Screws back in when you put the new one in. Taking forever. We like to watch you work. Hold on. You plug it back in, screw everything back together. Youre done. A decent sump pump is going to cost you a couple of hundred dollars, but will protect your basement from flooding. This is important because a lot of people needed generators. How do you install these . From a today show producer. This is a portable generator. Its all about the wattage. This particular one is 3,000 watts. This will do things like a refrigerator, a few lights, maybe a pump. You need to remember the kinds of things you are powering, for instance, a refrigerator uses 600 watts when it runs. When it first starts, it uses 1,200 watts. That get up and go is key. What people the mistake they make, notice i have this plug in wire right here. This is a separate breaker and feed off this generator nobody ever uses. Why . They dont know this. They use these plugs here and like why cant i run more off my generator . Getting a cord like this and plugging it in. You notice on the end i have a splitter where you can plug in more cords, you get the full maximum power that this or other generators can provide. Keep in mind need to be 20 feet away from the house. Its never in an inclosed area. And you need to keep it monitored. They also make them now that run on propane. I was going to say if you dont have power, what is that running on . Gasoline. In the northeast, gas stations didnt have power. Couldnt get gas. They run them on propane. How to keep woodpeckers away . I learned this in florida. Take fishing line, put a few nails on the outside of your cedar siding. You make a net. This fishing line is pretty heavy. If you go with lighter fishing line, you wont see it. The woodpeckers dont want to get tangled up in it. W is smarter than lou . Nobody. Tomorrow, oscarnominated actress jackie weaver.
