He asked for a blessing for himself to pray for him. So it was very humbling i thought in a nice way to begin his papacy. Apparently thats not a show, thats the essence of the man. We all know how he lived so simply. He is actually living testimony to what the gospel really is. The gospel means good news. And its good news to the poor. And he is a beautiful testimony of service. Do you know that in buenos aires he would clean, wash and clean and kiss the feet of aids patients. Yes. This is whats been missing in not just the catholic church, but in many churches around the world, is service in the name of a loving god. And its really, really thrilling to see. I am not catholic, but i cried. I just loved his tender heart. I loved that he didnt wear all the robes and stuff. If he says hes a follower of jesus, jesus was the poorest of the poor. Didnt have a stone was his pillow. You know. And if youre going to represent him as the vicar, you know, then identify with him. And i think this is a brilliant start. Hes 76 years old and a lot of people first looked at it and said, wait, 76 . You know thats they thought maybe they would go a little younger. Were here to tell you and were going to list some people who are older and really rocking it. Okay . Here we go. Besides frank . Besides frank gifford. Who should be first on the list. Queen elizabeth, 86 years old. Shes ten years older. Shes doing great. Warren buffett, 82. Uhhuh. The king of saudi arabia, 88. The Prime Minister of india, 80. Rupert murdoch, 82. The formula one ceo, bernie ecclestone, 82. Senator Frank Lautenberg of new jersey, 89. And ralph hall from texas, who will be 90 in a couple months. It makes me feel a little bit better about my milestone coming this summer. How do you feel about that milestone . You know what . Its just starting to dawn on me and its like, im just surprised by it all the time. That im going to be 60 years old. How the heck in honor of the pope, did that happen . Would i love to be 40 again . In some ways, but i had cass when i was 40 and ive got a beautiful almost 20yearold and cody is going to be 23. And i think when you start thinking about ha youve lost in life, you lose the moment right now you lose the joy and the gift of right now. Thats why its called a present. I like that. Its right now. And you just, if you just concentrate, hoda on what you do have, still have a lot. You know a lot to be grateful for. And we talk about the james taylor song the secret of life is to be enjoy where you are at the time. So heres bad news, if youre on a Carnival Cruise ship. This is not great. Another issue with carnival, you guys. The Carnival Cruise ship dream is docked, in port at phillipsberg in st. Maarten. Theyre having according to some people on the boat, Power Outages and overflowing toilets. 5,000 passengers could be on board. Apparently Carnival Cruise put out a statement that said theres a technical issue, but at no time did the ship lose power there were some periodic interruptions of elevators and toilets. I obviously have a soft spot for carnival, i worked with them for 20 years as their spokesperson. They got very big after that im not sure what the situation is here. But i know they take everything very seriously. I hope they solve the problem very quickly. You cant have all of these kinds of things happening before it starts affecting things. I wish them all the best. But you cant blame this one on me, you know what im saying . Blame it on george bush, okay . The best speeches in the united states, by trip adviser. Here are a couple of suggestions. A bunch of people on the website weighed in. On their favorite beaches and here they are the third best beach is the Gulf Islands National seashore in pensacola, florida. I agree, you can camp on the beach, 150mile stretch of it, it runs from cat island, mississippi, to Santa Rosa Island in florida, its like sugar. Ive never seen such white sand in my life, its glorious. Number two, siesta key, a public beach in sarasota. Clean, hardpacked sand there. The number one and i have to agree with this one as well, top beach in the whole country is Kanapali Beach in hawaii. Great for long walks, swimming, snorkeling, sunsets, and views. Lets go. Hoda needs to take her thong. This is so exciting, i have such a great i heart hoda. Just when i was in a good mood. This is about people shopping in a thrift shop. People shopping in a thrift shop. We got the clean version, so no one freak out. Its by macklemore. So first you have to feel a little of the beat. Are you feeling little bit of it . No. Come on. Okay, here it comes. I get it, i get it. Is there much more . It gets better. Okay. I get it, i get it. And i hate it. How can you hate it . I love it. How can you from singing cinderella yesterday, where theres actual music by rogers and hammerstein. We went to see we had to leave early because of the pope announcement. But your reaction was different from mine. Yes, cinderella we just have a couple of seconds, because we have to talk to sara. I loved it for my niece. I think she will totally go crazy over cinderella, the costume change, the beautiful scenery. They were all very excited. For people like me who grew up on the Leslie Ann Warren one and whatever year it was, i missed that story and missed hearing all of those songs in their entirety. So that just shows you its a generational thing. But everybody is good in it. Very good. Hey, miss sara haynes. Today to announce johnsons baby of the week.

Once again, we already had that in phoenix just yesterday. 94 will be the forecast later today. 82 in dallas. 80 for albuquerque. Theres the cold air. 34 in minneapolis.

So i got my hotels for halfprice men hotwire hotwire. Com time for todays health. Information that could save your life. If you havent heard, march is Colorectal Cancer awareness months. The cancer thats preventible and treatable when its caught early. Thats the message from two amazing women who are living with the disease. Well speak to them in a moment, but first, their stories. In 2009, 48yearold terry agreeing was the picture of health, accomplishing things women half her age could not, but a colon os copy revealed the mother of two had stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. I cant think of anything more difficult to do than to tell your children that youve been diagnosed with cancer. After surgery and while receiving chemotherapy, she continued to pursue her dream and in 2011, finished the ironman world championship. Attorney gloria borgess was 28 and ready to conquer the world when she was diagnosed. I thought i had a bad case of food poisoning, i had stage 4 colon cancer. By all accounts i wouldnt live to see my 30th birthday. Shes done that and more launching her foundation, wonder glow, with the goal of funding cuttingedge cancer research. Every day i am defying the odds, every day i am beating cancer. How inspiring are these two . Terry greeg is a volunteer with the colon Cancer Awareness and the chairman of the wonder glow foundation. And dr. Is the director of gastroenterology. Ive been very fortunate, i feel for the most part wonderful. I have some weeks when im going still through treatment that are a little rough. But i continue to train and run marathons and do half ironmans and hopefully another ironman in the fall. Thats unbelievable, if you dont mind my saying. Its incredible. Thank you. And you were just 28, how are you doing . Doing well. I just finished my 46th round of chemo on monday and flew here on tuesday. But im doing well, running the foundation and working out. Lifting weights, playing basketball. And the doctor, we have to ask this. We know that the guideline is the age of 50 to start getting your colonoscopies. And a lot of people are terrified of them. But the truth is, the thought of them is much worse than the actual treatment. The preparation is the bad part and thats nothing. But if its caught early, its so easy to cure. Yes. And these ladies, they were caught quite late. And theyre doing so well it seems, are we making huge strides now . Tremendous hope with this disease. The first point is as you say, dont wait until you get symptoms, when youre well is the time to talk to your doctor about screening and prevention. Colon cancer is one of the most preventible and curable of all cancers that we know of. The earlier we catch it, the greater the chance of curing it. When you got diagnosed and learned about it you spoke to some of your family members and we have your sister is over there. And tell us what happened when you talked to your sisters when they got checked. I was 48 at the time and screening is at 50 and my sisters were over 50 and had never been screened. Immediately after i was diagnosed. They went and had colonoscopies, my one sister had precancerous polyps and my other sister was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer. This was all within two weeks of my diagnosis. So its familial then in this sense, its genetic . Exactly. Theres about a 20 to 30 chance of it being spread from a family member. So you have a Family History of colon cancer, young people in the family with colon cancer, sometimes uterine or Ovarian Cancer can be related. Polyps or colon cancer is a family issue. You are so young. Did you have, what symptoms if any did you have . I had plenty of symptoms, because i was so young. I think people sort of wrote them off, including myself. So i went to the bathroom frequently and they werent impressive performances. You had a lot of diarrhea. I felt myself bloated at night, things like that it didnt stop me, i was working 14hour days and working out. And when things got to really severe point i thought i had food poisoning, i couldnt keep anything down. Even in the hospital, it took six days for me to get a colonoscopy and thats when they found the massive tumor in my colon. Did you have bleeding . No. So its not always bleeding. No. Actually the symptoms can be very, someone could just feel tired and have anemia as a presenting form. And 50 is a magic number. Just like with Breast Cancer screenings, they say wait until youre a certain age there are people who are exceptions to this . Absolutely. If theres a Family History. The key is not to make the decision yourself. But talk to your doctor about it. Any bowel disease, my sister had acute colitis, the more you talk about it and get it out in the open. Its nothing to be ashamed of. But bowel issues are called the silent diseases. Nobody wants to talk about them. If you dont talk about them, you cant fix them. You guys are amazing. Thank you for coming in. And thank you, doctor. Well take you to todays kitchen for some downhome irish cooking. But first, this is today on nbc. [ female announcer ] going to sleep may be easy, but when you wake up in the middle of the night it can be frustrating. Its hard to turn off and go back to sleep. Intermezzo is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed in the middle of the night when you cant get back to sleep. Its an effective sleep medicine you dont take before bedtime. Take it in bed only when you need it and have at least four hours left for sleep. Do not take intermezzo if you have had an allergic reaction to drugs containing zolpidem, such as ambien. Allergic reactions such as shortness of breath or swelling of your tongue or throat may occur and may be fatal. Intermezzo should not be taken if you have taken another sleep medicine at bedtime or in the middle of the night or drank alcohol that day. Do not drive or operate machinery until at least 4 hours after taking intermezzo and youre fully awake. Driving, eating, or engaging in other activities while not fully awake without remembering the event the next day have been reported. Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, or confusion. Alcohol or taking other medicines that make you sleepy may increase these risks. In depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur. Intermezzo, like most sleep medicines, has some risk of dependency. Common side effects are headache, nausea, and fatigue. So if you suffer from middleofthenight insomnia, ask your doctor about intermezzo and return to sleep again.

Apparently this dish needs a little coddling. Chef rachel allen has a brandnew cookbook. Rachels new irish cookbook. Arent you like youre beautiful. Like an irish spring commercial. Were going to make some coddle. Dublin coddle. Which is like a big cuddle in a bowl. But it comes from a term to simmer slowly. Its one of those economical dishes, thats always made on a thursday before the no meat day on friday. To use up all the bacon and bacon weve got, ham as you call it and potatoes. Really simple. You have to have potatoes. So basically the first thing you do, ive got finely chopped onion. And throw those in. And ive got some breakfast sausages chopped up. Like this. And then peeled, chopped potatoes. Im using your russets, actually they are work quite well. And some stock. Or you could use your ham cooking water. If you cook your ham. All do you is put this on. Allow it to simmer for about ten, 12 minutes, until you come to this. A little boil. A little boil and you can see here, that the potatoes are just soft, i think. And then im going to add in ham and i love it when it kind of shreds, this cooked ham. This is traditional irish food, really simple as you can see. Hearty, nutritious. You know, if youre feeling poorly, if youre feeling cold, this is the thing. This is the thing to eat, comfort food and some chopped parsley. There we go. And a little salt. Im going to give it a little taste. Because the ham and the sausages. We might not need any salt. This is, this is great as it is. Actually ill put a bit of salt in at the beginning, but oh and then, you just that is about as easy as it gets. Hey, hey. You know, something, its quite, this kind of food is quite cool again in northern ireland. But its traditional and lovely. What about the dessert you have on the table . Porter, porter being stout, its got stout in it. And actually sometimes people even used to pour some begin he is into the coddle. But i dont like that. Dont guinness your coddle. It looks delicious. And you two kind of like having a little we like having a little bit earlier in the morning. While youre making us your drink, were going to go over a little okay or not okay. So this we rant out of time. Is it okay or not okay to kiss your tv guests on the lips . Heres what we had to say about that. Absolutely. I still havent gotten over my kiss from tom sellick in 2,000. Yes, its okay, but only if its george clooney. Or tom sellick. Oh yes. Thank you so much for this. Delicious. All right.

[applause] welcome to the show. The jeff probst show. Thank you. Thank you. Have a seat. Thank you for the nice welcome for a show that will not be renewed. We are slowly on the countdown. I like to remind people youre watching history. Youre watching some of the last shows of the jeff probst show. [applause] all right. Today, it is truly incredible. This is why we wanted to do this talk show in the first place. To introduce you to amazing people. We have a guy on the show today. He is blind. He skis, he mountain bikes, he rides horses. He even won a world record. She is going to show you how he does it and how he uses echolocation. It is crazy. We shot something before the show. I think youre going to be inspired by this guy. But first, the inspiring Yvette Nicole brown is back [applause]
