And let the music play. Adele and the weekend dominated the Billboard Music awards. The fiery performances. Just like fire highly anticipated returns. And an emotional tribute to prince. Purple rain on a big night for music. Today, monday, may 23rd, 2016. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a monday morning. Weve got willie in for matt. Some of us watched the Billboard Music awards for the outfits. Others for celine dion. I had my lighter up for celine dion. You were going to wear Britney Spears outfit. I had to talk you out of it. Who wore it best . Well get to more on the outfits in a minute. First, the search is expanding for egyptair flight 804. Officials stepping up efforts to find the planes black boxes. Nbcs chief global correspondent bill neely has the overnight developments from cairo. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. Day five, and we are no closer to knowing why flight 804 fell from the sky. It seems no nearer to finding the critical black box flight recorders. But the search and the emotion here is intense. Reporter on board a u. S. Navy search plane, all eyes are on the sea. For six hours, 11 crew members scan the water for any sign of life or the missing plane. We have a lot of windows throughout the aircraft. Everybody is looking out windows. We have a camera on board, and were looking with our camera. Thatll be our best way to get any type of eyes on any survivor or debris we can find. Reporter on this mission, they see nothing that can help. The search for answers is intensifying. Egyptian teams flying over the sea, a robot submarine searching under. We have been recovering wreckage. We have been recovering human remains. Other parts of the plane. Reporter but theres no sign the life vests or clothing have helped investigators find the cause of the planes disappearance. So the agony deepens for waiting families. For the parents of a young flight attendant, for the father of the pilot. Who called his son a hero. I feel sad for my son. Reporter the pilots colleagues in the dark about the cause. You have no answers at the moment. We dont have any answers. The answers will be in the investigation. Reporter the pilot, mohamed shoukair, had been promoted four days before. He was calm as he talked to air Traffic Control before the trash. Egyptair 804, good day, uh, good night. Reporter the most likely cause is thought to be a bomb. 30 something is wrong in the aircraft. 70 , its terrorism . Yes. Reporter in its latest statement, isis said nothing about the missing plane. Investigators are focused now on the data showing computer failures and smoke around the cockpit minutes before the plane disappeared. Egypts president says the investigation could take a long time. The airline told families that finding the bodies could take weeks or longer. Meanwhile, those critical black box flight recorders will keep sending out signals, pings, for another three and a half weeks. Then the batteries will die. So this is a race against time. Savannah and willie . Bill neely in cairo, thank you. Lets bring in former ntsb investigator, greg feith. Good morning. Morning. They found just a little wreckage. Not to minimize how difficult this search is, but are you surprised they havent found more . I am, savannah. Given the fact that when we were talking about mh370, we knew the plane had flown out of radar coverage. We didnt have satellites looking in the indian ocean. Here, we have a heavily radared environment. Not only from the greeks, but from the egyptians. Of course, we got good information from the military that gave us a Little Information about how the airplane was descending and some of the motions of it. It surprises me that we didnt have any radar coverage or any coverage at all all the way to the water. You know, we dont have assets exactly where the airplane hit the water. Investigators will be looking for the black boxes as they always do when a plane goes down. Were getting reports this morning that the equipment needed to find the boxes hasnt even been sent to the area. Could that be possible . It is, willie, because its not something that is on station, you know, all over the world. Theyre acoustic beacons, or acoustic microphones. Theyre listening for these pings. But its, again, were in one of these points where theyre searching a large area without any real pinpoint information. So trying to scour that area, of course, you know, theres a lot of things that will affect, you know, those pingers. If the wreckage is sitting on top of those boxes, it may dilute the signal, and they may not find it. Theres a lot of ifs about it. The fact that the equipment isnt on station yet doesnt really surprise me. They dont really know where the wreckage is at this point. Greg, i have a few seconds but, of course, the reports about smoke alarms going off, the equipment on the airplane sending those about two, three minutes before the plane goes down, what do you make of it . The sequencing of that, savannah, will be critical. Putting it together in a timeline with the air Traffic Control communication. Its obvious the last communication with the crew, those alarms started to go off in two minutes or less, right after that. So something dramatic was happening at that point. Then the sequencing of when those alarms went off or the warnings went off, versus when they lost control of the airplane. The cockpit voice recorder can fill in some of the gaps. Its not going to be like where all we heard at the end of the cbr was the blast. Here, a crew will probably talk about issues. The messages were actually messages that were given to the flight crew on their cockpit instruments. Making that search for the black boxes all the more important. Greg, thank you very much. Thank you, greg. Now to the president ial race. Our new poll showing just how close the likely matchup between donald trump and Hillary Clinton has become, and just how unpopular those candidates are with voters. Well begin our decision 2016 coverage with nbc National Correspondent peter alexander. Good morning. Good morning, willie. In one month, Hillary Clinton, a double digit lead over donald trump has evaporated. Republicans are rallying around trump faster than democrats are around clinton. The democrats are still locked in the contentious primary fight. The bottom line, the winner this fall may be the candidate that americans dislike the least. Reporter their dual now a dead heat. Hillary clintons lead over donald trump, just three points within the margin of error. Down from 11 points last month. Theres no evidence he has any ideas about making america great, as he advertises. Hillary is weak. Shes a weak person. She has bad judgment. Reporter the 2016 contenders now unloading. The latest flash point, guns. With trump accepting the nras endorsement. Were getting rid of gunfree zones. Reporter clinton is speaking to the families of gun violence victims, including Trayvon Martins mother. If you want to imagine what trumps america will look like, picture more kids at risk of violence and bigotry. Picture more anger and fear. Reporter trump trying to clarify his position, but contradicting himself in the same breath. I dont want to have guns in classrooms, though in some cases, teachers should have guns in classrooms, frankly. Teachers are, you know things going on in our schools are unbelievable. Reporter trump and clinton are the two most unpopular likely president ial nominees in the history of our poll. 58 with a negative view of trump. 54 for clinton. Clinton now looking to capitalize after a recent report showed the last time trumps tax returns became public in the late 70s, he didnt pay the federal government a cent. You have someone running for president who is afraid to release his tax returns because it will expose the fact that he pays no federal income tax. I think its a big problem. Bernie reporter its not a oneonone race yet. Clintons immediate challenge, wooing Bernie Sanders supporters. 2 3 of democrats behind sanders say theyd vote for clinton this fall. 17 for trump. Sanders seemingly at war with the party. Now backing Debbie Wasserman schultzs opponent. Im not interested in that. Reporter bill clinton setting his sights on trump, name dropping the Presumptive Republican nominee four times. Using his own slogan against him. Its, hey, ill make it the way it used to be, and youll be better off. If youre not, at least youll have somebody else to look down on. It is a dumb idea, and it will not work. To emphasize how unpopular Hillary Clinton and donald trump are, half the voters we polled said they would consider a third party in the president ial election. 47 tell our pollsters they would be open to voting for that third party option this november. Savannah and willie . Peter alexander in washington, thanks. Lets go to steve kornacki. Hell dive into the new nbc news wall street journal poll. Take it away. We look at the bottom line numbers. A month ago, this is what the race looked like. Hillary clinton, a double digit lead. Then, we were hearing from democrats. Trump is hillarys dream opponent. You had the never trump republicans saying, dont bother having the election if trump is the nominee. He cant win. A month later, check this out, we basically have a dead heat here. What is the difference when you look inside the numbers over the last month . Right here, this is the biggest single difference. That is not it at all. I had to go back one. This is the biggest difference. This is Republican Voters. A month ago, donald trump was trying to lock up the republican nomination. 72 of Republican Voters said theyre with him against Hillary Clinton. Still a lot of republicans were saying, i dont know if i can get on board. He locks up the nomination. The race becomes clear to them. The number of republicans supporting trump has jumped by 14 points in the last month. He brought republicans home. Republicans are on board with him right now. If theres one Silver Lining in this for Hillary Clinton, its this. That could still happen on the democratic side. These are Bernie Sanders supporters right now. 66 of them say, look, if its not bernie, if its Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee, i can support her. That number, a Healthy Party in the fall, should be higher. Thats the challenge for Hillary Clinton. Can she get the Bernie Sanders number up into the 80s, the 90s . That could move the overall number up. Thats her challenge right now. Take a look at this. We mentioned this. The overwhelming vote, over 50 negative scores. These are the two least popular nominees youll see pitted against each other. Strong support for Hillary Clinton with black voters, latinos, women, younger voters, double digit lead. On the flip side, donald trump 16 points up among whites, double digits for senior citizens. Men leading among independents. When you add the groups together, you know what this looks like . Mitt romney versus barack obama in 2012. Almost identical. All the talk that donald trump was uniquely the worst republican you could ever put up, hed lose in ways youd never seen, hes getting exactly what mitt romney got. Steve kornacki, come have a seat. Well bring in nicolle wallace. Lets talk about the numbers there. How much of the tightening of this race is donald trump bringing people around him . And how much is Hillary Clinton fighting a twofront war with Bernie Sanders in the race . Steve summed it up nicely. Her mission is to bring along the sanders voters, while trumps mission is to crush Hillary Clinton. Uncle bernie refuses to go home to vermont. Refuses to message to his supporters that it is over. He can no longer become the democratic nominee. Its news to them. They express dismay and disappointment and rage he should get out of the race. Its Hillary Clintons largest problem. You feel strongly if Hillary Clinton loses in november, this will be the moment people should look at as consequential. Should we convene in this exact group the morning after election day, and should Hillary Clinton have lost narrowly, it will have been because of the events of this month. It will be because long past the point when it was possible for Bernie Sanders to win, he stayed in, called her corrupt, called her unqualified. And independent voters, the people still up for grabs, were hearing the same message from donald trump as they were hearing from Bernie Sanders. Steve, how much of this is hand wringing in may, five and a half months ahead of the election . Wont democrats eventually, given the choice between donald trump and Hillary Clinton, go for Hillary Clinton . There is a chance keep in mind what happened eight years ago. The Hillary Clinton and barack obama fight. Hillary was saying in june, ill be the nominee. Im more electable. She talked about the kennedy assassination happening late in the 60s. It was ugly. As soon as the primary process ended, she didnt have the numbers, she dropped out and endorsed obama. We dont remember it being tumultuous because it worked out for democrats. You dont remember anything about that race, do you, nicolle . Blocked it out. Exactly. President obama is making history today, announcing the end of a decades of old arms embargo on vietnam. This is the first stop on a weeklong asia tour. Ron allen is in hanoi this morning. Good morning. President obama said lifting the ban on lethal military sales, in place 50 years, is one of the last steps toward completing normalization between the relationship with United States and vietnam. President obama, the third u. S. President to visit here, a relationship that has come a long way since the end of the war. Reporter president obama arrived in vietnam to a typical diplomatic welcome. Crowds lining the motorcade route. The president taking part in local traditions. A far cry from the emotional visit by president clinton in 2000. The first by a u. S. President after the end of the war. Now, america and vietnam are all about business. Today, signing multimillion dollar deals with boeing. Lifting the ban on military sales, the president says another sign of how far the two nations have come. Just a generation ago, we were adversaries, and now we are friends. Should give us hope. Should be a reminder of the ability for us to transform relationships. Reporter from here, mr. Obama traveled to japan. Another painful chapter of american history. Hiroshima. He will be the first sitting u. S. President to visit one of the only places on earth devastated by an atomic weapon. Not to offer an apology. My purpose is not to revisit the past, but affirm that we should do everything we can to try to promote peace and dialogue around the world. In japan, the president will also attend a summit of world leaders. On that agenda, the sluggish global economy, the global war against terrorism. President obama also confirmed the u. S. Did, in fact, kill the Afghan Taliban leader, mansour. He said the message was that america would protect and take care of its own. Back to you. Ron allen, thank you. Sports news.

So far, crews have not spotted any debris. President obama is in vietnam, kicking off a weeklong tour of asia. He made a major announcement overnight, listifting a longstanding arms embargo on the United States onetime foe. This will ensure that vietnam has access to the equipment it needs to defend itself and removes and v s lasting images cold war. President obama will be the first u. S. President to visit hiroshima later in the week. This tornado was spotted along the oklahoma border. Dylan says there is a threat of more tornadoes in the region today. A disturbing scene at a zoo in chile over the weekend thats getting a lot of attention. Tamron that has that story. This is hard to believe. You may find some of these images disturbing. Officials say a man deliberately jumped into the lion enclosure and started provoking the animals. They attacked, eventually leading zookeepers to shoot and kill the lions. Officials say it was their only choice, but people are furious. Reporter shock and outrage saturday at the zoo in chile after Officials Say a 20yearold man broke into the lions den, took off his clothes and taunted the big cats, causing them to attack. The images graphic, we have to blur them. Zookeepers tried stopping the lions by spraying with water, then used a tranquilizer dart. When it didnt work, they shot the lions with a gun, killing them. The man who left behind a suicide note survived. The incident sparking protests and uproar on social media. The lions were not at fault, one person posted. They should not have been shot. Another wrote, why kill them for his mistake . Let him die, not the lions. The zoo expressed heartbreak at losing lions that had been there more than 20 years. The zoos director defended their actions saying, if a persons life is at risk, we have to bring in the shooting team. The mission becomes to save the persons life. Wildlife experts agree. A tranquilizer can take five, ten minutes to activate. They felt like they didnt have that kind of time, so they chose to use lethal force. Reporter unfortunately, zoo patrons acting dangerously isnt new. Columbus zoo, 2015, a man wearing a camera jumped the fence to pet a cougar, then posted his stunt online. Bronx zoo, 2012, a man leaped off the monorail into the tiger exhibit and wasmauled. 2009, this woman was attacked by a polar bear after diving into the pool during feeding time. Earlier this month, tourists at Yellowstone National park put this wild bison calf in their suv because they thought it was cold. Officials later euthanized the calf because the herd wouldnt accept it back. You shouldnt come in contact with exotic animals. View them at a safe distance and enjoy. Any time you uneducatingly try to interact, you may risk the lives of that wild animal. The zoo is holding a funeral for the two lions today. The man who was hauled is in Critical Condition on a ventila ventilator. No word if he will be charged with anything. According to reports, this man has Mental Health issues. Clearly. The lions had to lose their lives as a result of his actions. Interesting to hear the one wildlife expert agree with the zoos decision, to save the person. Tamron, thank you. Lets turn now and get a check of the weather from dylan. Announcer todays weather is brought to you by walgreens. Get your red nose today, only at walgreens, to help kids in need.

The dangers of climbing mt. Everest are back in the spotlight after a grim weekend on the worlds highest mountain. Joe fryer has more on this story. Good morning. Savannah, good morning. After two years of disasters, this has been a busy year on mt. Everest. The Worlds Largest peak has proven dangerous as of late. This morning, a climber from india is the third to have died in as many days. Two others are missing. About 30 more have developed frostbite or become sick near the summit. Reporter 29,000 feet above sea level, triumph and tragedy were separated by mere hours. Two climbers died last week on the way down, apparently from altitude sickness. One had just reached the summit. Youve been up for so long at that point, youve been pushing, you know. For most people, its getting close to the limit of what theyre capable of. Reporter one victim was maria, who taught finance at an australia university. She was superwoman. She could do anything, and she wanted to make her mom, dad and family proud. Reporter shed already scaled four other peaks. Her mom flew to bid her farewell before this climb, something she hasnt done before. I had a bad feeling and said, i had to go say goodbye. Reporter it also killed this man, after reaching the summit, his fourth attempt. The Washington Post profiled him. Because he had failed attempts before, friends would say, maybe its not your fate to climb everest. Hed say, no, i have a passion for this. I want to keep going. Reporter he narrowly survived last year when an earthquake in nepal triggered a deadly avalanche. After that, his descend was called off after guides were killed in another avalanche. This year brings a renaissance, with 330 climbers reaching the summit. That includes a veteran who lost part of his leg in afghanistan. For a vets group called the heros project, he opened up about what was ahead. Definitely got nervous, whatever you want to call it. It was knowing that ive been training for x amount of months, getting ready for the mountain. Finally seeing it for the first time. Reporter now, hes in the history books, becoming the first combat amputee to ever reach the top of mt. Everest. Linville and his team are working down the mountain. They did make it safely to a camp below the summit. Meanwhile, the third climber who died had reportedly fallen sick and was being helped down the mountain by sherpa guides but didnt make it. Experts say the way down can be just as dangerous as the way up. Incredible. Joe fryer, thank you very much. Add our congratulations to marine linville, getting to the top.

Its 8 00 and a beautiful morning out here on our plaza. Great crowd, great temperatures. A wonderful start to the week. Nice to have you along. Willie is in for matt. Might be perfect weather right now. Not too cold and not too hot. Great crowd. A huge crowd out this morning. Memorial day weekend is almost here. Savannah is getting smashed, to get ready, as she usually does. Smashed burgers, that is. Why you need to try it at your cookout for the juiciest burger ever. And we do want fries with that. Lets get a check of the top stories. Tamron is in for natalie. Hey, tamron, good morning. A robotic submarine has joined u. S. Navy planes and others searching for the black boxes from egyptair flight 804. Nbc chief correspondent bill neely is in cairo with the latest on this investigation. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, tamron. Day five, and we are still no nearer to knowing what made flight 804 fall from the sky. No closer, it seems, to finding those critical black box flight recorders. But the search and the emotion here is intense. Reporter on board a u. S. Navy search plane, and all eyes are on the sea. For six hours, 11 crew members scan the water for any sign of life or the missing plane. We have a lot of windows throughout the aircraft. Everybody is looking out the windows. We have a camera on board, and were looking with our camera. Reporter on this mission, they see nothing that can help. The search for answers is intensifying. Egyptian teams flying over the sea. A robot submarine searching under. We have been recovering wreckage. We have been recovering human remains. Other parts of the plane. Reporter but theres no sign the life vests or clothing have helped investigators find the cause of the planes disappearance. So the agony deepens for waiting families. For the parents of a young flight attendant, for the father of the pilot. Who called his son a hero. Pilot mohamed shoukair had been promoted four days before. His voice calm as he talked to air Traffic Control two hours before the crash. Thank you so much. Good day, uh, good night. Reporter in its latest statement, isis said not a word about the missing plane. That is significant. No claim, either from isis or any terror group, not even rumor of one. But what is critical is those black box flight recorders. Theyll keep sending out signals, pings, for another three and a half weeks, and then its batteries will die. So this is a race against time. Tamron . Bill, thank you. In hanoi this morning, president obama announced the u. S. Is fully lifting its embargo on arms sales to vietnam, its former enemy pressed for the move so it can stand up to china which has been making disputed territorial claims in the region. President obama also attended a signing ceremony for billions of dollars in trade deals between the two countries. Hillary clinton and donald trump are virtually tied in a headtohead matchup according to our new nbc wall street journal poll. Clintons double digit lead is down to three points, which is within the polls margin of error. Trump and clinton are the most unpopular likely president ial nominees in the history of the poll. 47 of those responding said they would consider a Third Party Candidate if clinton and trump are the major party nominees. The San Diego Padres are apologizing over a National Anthem miscue. When the san diego gay mens chorus took to the field this weekend to singing the starspangled banner the voices were drowned out by a recording of a woman singing. Can you see, by the dawns early light that recording played through until the end of the song. The padres issued a statement, saying they have found no evidence of malicious intent. The team said its terminated the contract of the Third Party Contractor responsible for the mistake. The chor us is calling on Major League Baseball to investigate the incident. No word on if theyll be invited back to sing again with their own voices. They werent able to cut the audio before. Theyre investigating. I have a feeling theyll get another crack at this.

Videos dont always go viral for the right reasons, but the force was strong with the mom who destroyed records this weekend with a laugh thats been heard around the web. Im really excited to share with you something i got. Reporter not so long ago in a parking lot far, far away, Candace Payne took to Facebook Live to show friends and family a recent purchase. Stay patient, people. This is going to be worth it. I promise. Maybe not. Maybe not. But its worth it to me. Reporter payne giddy with anticipation, could not mask her excitement. Here we go. Yes now watch when my mouth actually moves. [ laughter ]. Thats not me making that noise. Its the mask. Reporter once the laughing flood gates opened, they did not stop. Im such a happy chewbacca. This is worth every penny. Reporter payne, a huge star wars fan and mother of two, bought the 18 chewbacca mask as a late birthday present to herself. It was pure joy. I cant stop. I cant stop. Okay, okay. [ laughter ]. Reporter its been viewed more than 134 million times, smashing, so to speak, maybe lives previous record holder, buzzfeeds watermelon versus rubber band challenge. It had 10 million views. Paynes enthusiasm, a force to be reckoned with online. Thats the happiest wookiee in the galaxy. Needed a laugh today. Thanks, candace. Hours after posting the video, the mask sold out on the kohls website and caused sales to skyrocket by 1. 3 million percent on amazon. You said it, chewy. Reporter when kohls got wind of paynes love of star wars, they brought her family a galaxy of gifts. We all get a chewbacca mask. Reporter a reminder that happiness can be as easy as unmasking your true self. Yall have an incredible day. Its the simple joy. We reached out to candace about the videos success. She was excited to see so many people get joy in their feed. People were struggling with depression and lost hope, and some people that needed a pick me up, all walks of life were laughing with me. Couldnt be more grateful for the internet webs. Do you not love do you not love her . It was funny because i was driving to work by kohls and wonder wrg matt was this morning. Up against the glass. I need that mask. You joke about that but we were driving past kohls on saturday and my kids said can we check . They laughed in my face. You cant get that mask anymore. We do have another mask. Do you think advertisers will take a page from this . Like this is a sellout, right . One great viral video. The reason it worked is because she wasnt trying to make a viral video. Just a mini segue here, i believe we do have a shot of willie dressed as chewbacca. Thats a real picture. By the way, my mom made that costume. Youre kidding jodi geist made that. Can you do any sounds . Not without the mask. Okay, all right. He has to get in character. Hoda, will you stay for trending . Im going to start with an article that will resonate with a lot of women. Its called why i stopped wearing pants for good. Its by a woman called erica smith. She is fed up with the lack of options for curvier women. She writes i gave up on pants because it was almost impossible to find ones that feet me, im short, chubby and curvy. Most pants are made to fit someone with completely different bodies, tall, thin and leggy. Since tailoring is expensive and time consuming, shes decided to give up pants forever. Shes sticking with skirts and drez and she said i wish i had given up on pants earlier. Im sure it would have made be feel better about my body sooner. I feel like i almost never wear pants. Pants only look good on some people. I like the flowy feel too of a skirt or a dress. Theyre comfortable. But fashion alert and this is not a plug, i get no money from it. Cookie johnson, magic johnsons wife, has a jean line specifically for these problems where you have curves. So we know our waist on our jeans is loose and that sags down if you have hips. She designs her jeans specifically for curvy girls who fit petite. Petite as well. She was on oprahs show years ago but nevertheless the jean line is hugely popular. My mother is short, curvy. Sent her the jeans. I never have to give that woman another gift. And thats not a plug. You may be getting some jeans. Lets all get something out of this segment today. The Oklahoma High School senior who planned a huge surprise for his classmates at graduation. This is senior Michael Mcdade in the wheelchair right there. He was born with cerebral palsy. During the ceremony, he did something his classmates have never seen. He stood up and he walked. His classmates immediately erupted into applause and gave him a long standing ovation as he accepted his diploma. He had been working for months to make this moment happen and, boy, did it pay off. Gives you chills. These kids went to school with them for years and years and never knew that he could do that. To hear the cheers. They were like rooting for him. Beautiful. All right. With a little bit of a different story now, a lot of people have been out with their kids on a hot or cold day. Have you ever seen a kid in a stroller and thought thats a pretty sweet ride, i wish i had that . One company is now doing just that. Check it out. The adaultsize baby stroller. That is giant. No, youre right, it isnt real, its not for sale, you cant buy it. But the idea is to give parents a taste of what their kids experience, so it is kind of a marketing tool. They are trying these strollers in chicago. The next test drive is june 7th. Its a stroller and the pajamas with the feet. What about when the kids have got their sippy cup and snacks. Living the dream. Were out of the stroller years but there were some sunday mornings i can recall when you had a big saturday night and youd be like, boy, id like to be the one in that stroller. Now to a music hit maker involved in a terrible car crash and the epic parade celebrating Ferris Buellers 30th anniversary. Lets start with calvin harris, recovering this morning after a terrifying car crash over the weekend. Now, here are the photos obtained by tmz. Calvin was a passenger in that black suv when it was struck by the red volkswagen beetle. Fortunately the dj and producer only sustained minor injuries but did have to cancel two shows. Hed been told to rest a few days and theres no comment from his girlfriend, taylor swift. Next to katy perry, shes never officially confirmed shes dating Orlando Bloom perhaps until now. Katy seemingly made their relationship official in a very 2016 way, on instagram. She posted this photo of orlando and her in matching robes near the cannes film festival. The caption reading cant. It was enough for social media to officially christen the couple korlando. Finally a Citywide Dance Party three decades in the making. Its been 30 years since Ferris Bueller famously took a day off culminating in a parade down the streets of chicago. Everyone letting loose to twist and shout. To celebrate, the people of the windy city, look at this, recreated the parade including ferris back at the center of a float to bust a move. Fans sported tshirts and it wouldnt be complete without this, that red ferrari. The celebration capping off the weeklong ferrisfest. Tamron, what was your favorite part of that movie . She hasnt seen it. Ive seen half of it. Im making my way through Blues Brothers and this weekend i tried to fake it. Our executive producer said you havent seen it. Youve got to have things saves up for your retirement. Savannah, what was your favorite part of the film . Just everything. Every single scene from the beginning. From the shower she passed the test. Hes a righteous dude. All right, lets get a check of the weather. We do have some storms to talk about in the middle of the country and its all because of this dip in the jetstream thats going to dig into the central plains. Combine that with a ve ververy very slowmoving cold front that will trigger some storms today. Through western texas, western oklahoma and western kansas is where we could see very large hail today and also some isolated tornados. Something to keep an e a lit light jacket needed with temperatures now in the 50s, its 57 in San Francisco. A lot of sunshine. We will see clouds mixing in throughout the afternoon and high of 63 degrees in the city. In the north bay, 69 degrees and also a slight chance of some showers mainly over the hilltop and in the south bay 70 degrees and 75 in the tri valley. Temperatures today feeling mild but slightly cooler than average. Over the next few days we keep this kind of weather and the rain stays away. Announcer the new middle age is brought to you by aarp. Real possibilities. We are lau we are launching a special new series called the new middle age. People living longer, what defines middle age is certainly changing. Our friend joan lunldden is her nice to be back here. You know, when it comes to middle age, we often think of the dreaded midlife crisis. But some experts say we throw that term around pretty loosely, and is midlife crisis even real . Or simply a myth . The cultural script is once you hit midlife youre over the hill. Theres an expiration date. At what age do you consider someone middle aged . According to our new today. Com survey, 52 of you say 55 is the magic number, but it sure doesnt look like it used to be. Theres this antiquated mythic idea youre on the decline. Well, thats just simply not true. So is the notion of the guy getting the flashy red car or having a fling to cope with getting older just a cliche . According to our survey asking is midlife crisis real, 52 think the midlife crisis is real for some people, but not for everyone. In over 80 countries, people have found this correlation between age and happiness. Studies suggest midlife blues can be measured on what researchers call a ucurve of happiness. The low point dips in middle age and then you become more satisfied as you age. And thats what can happen at midlife. Its a stopandpause moment where you say am i on the right track . Corena found herself asking that question and said she hit a wall. In my 20s it was definitely nonstop and living the single life and then in my 30s i think we kind of just so focused in working and the kids and you dont really take the time for yourself and things start getting behind. Then you just wake up one day and youre like, wow, what am i even doing . You kind of wake up. Does Financial Security affect whether you have a midlife crisis . 57 of our respondents say yes. It often has to do with people feeling like they didnt meet the expectations they had for themselves in their lives or that other people had for them. Corena says a meaningful trip abroad made her grateful and helped put her life in perspective. A lot of the stress and anxiety that i had built up inside of me and maybe even some depression just changed so much. A new Study Suggests midlife blues can have a Silver Lining by stirring your curiosity and boosting your coping mechanisms. I felt a lot more empowered and excited and just motivated. I feel alive now. Oh, i love how you changed the face. But not everyone experiences the blues. 42yearold mom of two trisha is unfaze ed by middle age. When is that midlife crisis . I havent experienced it. 75 of those over 40 have not experienced it at all, and some experts think the midlife crisis is a myth. Do the data support its existence . Barely, if at all. Reporter dr. Susan whitborn said age is not the key. You can have a crisis at any age. When it happens to you, its bad, theres no question about it. But to call it a midlife crisis, i think is a miss norm. Reporter dr. Robi ludwig says women dont have to fear that their prime is in their past. If you rebel against this idea that culture has that once you leave youth, you no longer have any value, that thats not true. And to kind of own their power and their promise. Weve just been having a fascinating conversation as we watched that piece because as people live longer and longer, the definition of midlife gets later and later. Absolutely. And the worst thing people can do is hit 50 and think that theyre over the hill or elderly or a senior because then it can become a selffulfilling prophecy. In reality, most people are at their peak when they hit 50. So we just have to change the way everybody thinks. Personally i was looking forward to a midlife crisis. To get the ferrari . Tomorrow well explore the impact of friendship on midlife. This is fascinating. Our today. Com survey, 63 of you said experience with friends makes everything better. Joan, thank you so much. Were back after this. Anim happening today. Topvo its possible a long awaited criminal trial fourears in the making gets underway. Good monday morning. Happening later today it is possible that a long await d criminal trial for years in the making gets under way. Garcia tore he is charged with kidnap and murdering back to march of 2012. The trial has repeatedly been delayed. For a time it was supposed to begin last month but his lawyers asked to submit more evidence for testing. Theres a chance todays start could be delayed again because one of the Defense Attorneys is still on trial in another case which could compel the judge to issue another delay. Well keep track of that for you. A fatal caltrans accident earlier today. Whats the latest . Burlingame by toak avenue crossing, we have single tracking through the area. Trains moving slowly, about 15 miles per hour. Again, more delays for the peninsula ride on caltrain. The rest of the Transit System reports no major delays. On the roadway, Traffic Holding steady on the south bay and east bay. Towards the approach of the bay bridge looks good. Right around high street, you see that traffic moving through downtown.

We do have right through the central plains, though, a chance of strong storms and that area in orange across western kansas, western oklahoma and there you see stretching down through texas, we could see large hail and damaging tornados possible, mainly in rural areas, but certainly worth watching. Then as we go into tomorrow we are still looking at that same general area with the best chance of stronger storms, isolated tornados again possible up and down the east coast, some spotty showers and couple of clouds were seeing nothing but sunshine across a lot of the bay area. As we take a live look across the golden gate bridge, beautiful start. Temperaturewise in the mid to upper 50s, light jacket needed as you head out the door.

Former Vice President al gore marking a milestone for his oscarwinning documentary and weighing in on the president ial race as well. Nbcs Anne Thompson is here in studio with that. Anne, good to see you. Good morning. In the ten years since an Inconvenient Truth debuted theres been a lot of change in the fight against Climate Change. Solar panels are going up in record numbers but theres toughening rhetoric and it comes from the presumptive nominee gop nominee, just one of several topics i discussed with the former Vice President. So what do you think of the tone of the president ial campaign so far . Well, im one of millions who sometimes just i do a double take. Whoa, what was that . Who believes in Global Warming . Raise your hand. Its been unusual. Nobody . Do you see a Trump Presidency undoing all the progress that the u. S. Has made in the last ten years in the fight against Climate Change . He has said some things on the Climate Crisis that i think should concern everyone. Im not pollyannish about it but i do think there is still some basis for hope. This is a man whos called Climate Change a hoax and other words that we cannot use on network tv. And a chinese plot. Right. So wheres the hope . President carter said he hopes hell be malleable. I dont know. Climate change, gore insists, cuts across party lines. Im proud to have some tea party allies. Whats being called the green tea party. Gore praises both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton for addressing Climate Change. But bill clintons Vice President is not yet picking sides. Has either democrat sought your endorsement yet . Ive gotten signals that you could easily interpret that way. The earth is so big and thats because an Inconvenient Truth made al gore an unexpected movie star. As somebody said, al gore giving a slide show, what doesnt grab you about that . Isotopes of oxygen one reviewer called it nerd porn. Using charts and graphs, gore made the connection between increasing Carbon Emissions and our changing climate for millions of movie goers in 2006. Its connected to our economy. Its connected to our national security. Its connected to the refugee crisis. Its connected to health. A horrible, unprecedented the movie didnt get everything right. Ten years later theres still snow on mt. Kilimanjaro and a warming ocean has not spaunwned major hurricane thats hit the u. S. As his critics gleefully point out. Why do you think youre a lightning rod. Its not unusual to see attacks on a messenger. I dont own a private plane. My house runs on 100 renewable energy. I do walk the walk. His efforts won gore the Nobel Peace Prize and a little gold statue for the movie. Wheres the oscar . Actually the oscar belongs to davis guggenheim, the director of the movie, but i like to say i have visiting rights to the oscar. Tomorrow on the tenth anniversary, paramount will offer free downloads of the film on amazon video, infiniti on demand, itunes and other major digital retailers. Did gore give you any impression who he might back in this race . He said hes been a lifelong democrat and will back the democratic nominee. Very interesting interview, anne. Thank you very much. Coming up next, well go behind the scenes of one of summers most anticipated blockbusters, war craft. First, this is today on nbc. A wrangler. Okay, ready .

Wake up those eggs with glorious spam see what spam can do. At spam. Com were back now at 8 40 with a movie thats getting a ton of buzz right now. Warcraft, a battle between h humans and orcs. Some soof the giants consider joining the human side. If our people are to make a home here, my friends, it must be stopped. Were not Strong Enough to defeat guldan. No, no. With the humans help, we could be. Rob kazinsky is the orc and duncan jones directs the film. Good to see you. Good morning. First of all, we could get you no show up in full costume, makeup and cgi. We replicated it on the plaza. 11foot version of you, sir. What do you make of that guy . That guy, i mean, honestly, i think theres only one of these statues and it goes everywhere. The shipping cost on that make up the majority of our budget. Hes not a light load. Hes not light. Makes you look good through. I feel you have to have the greatest character name in history. It might well be. I mean, to live up to that, thats my job. Its hard to do. Duncan, i understand as director, to get everybody in character, you created this orc camp. We did. What is that . We had two separate groups that make up the film. The humans and the orcs. The orcs have this very specific way they had to move and walk. We had a Movement Coach who actually took rob and a bunch of the people doing that work into orc camp. They basically had to learn a vo k vocabulary of movement. Did you sleep in cabins . Its different from that camp. We characters are between seven and eight feet tall, 500 to 700 pounds. Theyre big guys and you had to move differently. We had to have a uniform way of moving and then add your own you nance nuances. It was a voyage of discovery. This is based off the game. It is . A lot of people are obsessed with it. World of warcraft, ill tell you about it. That was my question, are you big gamers . We are. Rob more so than i. Yeah. I was a player of the game. I played it for 12 years. I used to play for 18 hours every day. Whoa i was dedicated. For me, making this movie, its kind of very much full circle. Being in this movie means that, you know, spending ten years of my life and 18 hours a day on something is cool. Research. You were just preparing for a role your entire life. Duncan, this is a little bittersweet for you. This moment, a huge day for you as the movie comes out, but also losing your father, david, in january. I understand he got a chance to see some of the movie before he passed. He did. This has been an amazing opportunity and a crazy experience. My wife had cancer, and we got through it just before we started the movie. My dad passed away as we were reaching the end of the movie. My first child is coming next month. Its kind of a weird chapter in my life. How is the family doing . Good. Everyone is good. Were kind of moving with it and kind of getting used to the new life weve got. And the baby is coming any moment, right . Yeah, probably on the red carpet. Theyve got a lot to be proud of. The film is great. Rob and duncan, thank you. Warcraft opens june 10th. Want to go to orc camp with me this summer . Fan camp for orcs. We can go to dork camp. Coming up, smashed cheeseburgers. First, this is today on nbc. Today food is brought to you by camping world.

We have the sauce and burgers. Thousand isles style. Sugar, salt askand pepper. We have the potato rolls and ground beef. Lets start with the sauce. We got the mayonnaise. This is homemade but you can use store bought. Little ketchup. Kind of the secret sauce, right . Literally but not too secret. Sugar. Little sugar. Vinegar, white vinegar. Whisk that up. Over here, weve got our really hot griddle going. You can do this in a stainless steel pan, too. The idea is were going to smash the burgers. Lets talk about that. Its controversial. Everything ive been told is dont press down the burger patty. Youre losing the juices. On a griddle, as long as the burger meat is cold and you press it down at the beginning, youre not losing juices. Do it at the beginning . Yeah, so we maximize the surface area. This is really fast, by the way. 2ounce patties here. Two per burger. Season them up with salt and pepper. These are little guys, but they turn out to be fullsized burgers . Flip them over. How are we downstairs, guys. Im enjoying every second of this. The flay rvor is great. 5 at home depot here. Put two patties down, this far apa apart. Can you use the back of a spatula . You can, but i like the trowel. Give it a twist to get it off there and get it to stick to the griddle. There we go, okay. Perfect. The idea is were getting a ton of the browning reaction. When you get a seared steak, its the brown crust. Were getting a ton of that, two per patty. Cook it 90 of the way through on this one side. That way, you get a lot of brown crust while its juicy. Less than a minute . Cooking it most of the way through. Grab on the edge of the griddle. This is a paint skracraper. Oh, scrape it off . You want all the crust there. The cooking utensils from home depot. Yup. Add the slice of cheese, stack them. Oh, i see. Double. Double, double. Get my scraper. There we go. We should have assembled these beforehand, but were going to put a little sauce on each bun. Got my own over here. Little homemade. Great. Guys, whats the final verdict . Monday at 8 49, and our diets are blown for the week. Im almost done. The french fries complement with the incredible burger. We all are finishing our burger even though its 8 49 in the morning. It still has all the juice. Thank you so much. Delicious. Thank you. You can find the recipe at today. Com food. Coming up next, a special performance from the broadway cast of tuck everlasting.

From the movie . All one lines from the movies. She did a monologue. Very nice. Its the 30th anniversary. Friday was the celebration, a threeday celebration in chicago, they recreated the parade in daly square and it was like a big ferris fest. Video . There you go. Thats the parade scene. Y they sang twist and shout. He gets kicked out of school . Everybody was rooting around them. Its the whole the bigger story was this ferrari. It got severely damaged at the end. In the movie. Yes. I wondered after seeing that if that was true, you could throw it in reverse and set back the odometer. Me that doesnt work. How do you know . It didnt work in the movie. It was dra it maically didnt work in the movie. Were spoiling a great movie. You are. This is why i believe in spoiler alerts. This is nonsense. Its 30 years. Spoil it for me. 30year spoiler window.

This is a Billboard Music awards. Madonna with purple paid tribute to prince, joined on stage by stevie wonder, for purple rain. Because nothing compares nothing compare to you only one can feel my pain only want to see you laughing in the purple rain purple rain purple rain what a jam. And stevie coming out there. You know, i didnt see the billboard awards, i saw the clips. I have to compartmentalize. I learned in the last weeks theres prince the artist and then prince you know t personal part of my life, until i compartmentalize to survive this i did not like that version. Im being honest. And i love madonna. And right before some writer called and asked. I said i dont have a comment. I love the idea of madonna. They had a friendship, they knew each other. He was so specific. I mean, honestly, we wanted him to perform on the today show and it was a big deal. What about the audio. He is very, very to the letter about the audio. And maybe thats how it sounds on tv, so maybe sounds bert in person. Im sure she was nervous even though she is madonna. I wasnt against her but once i heard it i have to be honest. For everybody that was there, watching it, im sure everyone was singing along and couldnt hear what it sounded like. Its hard when someone is so iconic, and so was such a perfectionist and is such a perfectionist still, i was like i cant imagine being in her shoes. She knows him personally, and shes trying to separate the artist and then you have this responsibility. Tough to repaint a perfect painting like purple rain. Beautifully put. Celine dion gave an emotion alperformance of queen, the show must go on before accepting the billboard icon award. Here to present you with the billboard icon award is your son, rene charles. I want to be so strong for my family and my kids and i didnt expect hit. I dont want to cry in front of you. You make me so happy. Thank you. I love her so much. So much.

Well, this was a high wire act up in the clock, i think were going to get flames. There you go. Man, she puts on a show. Like mad max. A show a couple weres ago she dipped herself in water and came back. Wow. Also a lot of people talking about kesha, shes been through a lot, sang a cover of bill dylans song it aint me babe. It aint me babe. Oh, no, it aint me babe youre looking for babe last week there was announcement she wouldnt perform because her producer had rescinded approval but she got the green light at the last minute. I confess i only know kesha as the talky singy thing. She can sing. She was amazing. And quite a story. I mean a lot of female artists lined up to support her. Coming into her own. The weekend was the huge winner, eight awards, including top hot 100 artists. He dedicated that award to prince. Adele won the biggest honor as top artist and released a new video.

The bad news ashgs cording to the National Fire protection association, nearly 9,000 home fires are cause bid grilling every year. We have tips on how to stay safe. Good morning. By the way, i dont have many friends. This is this is the way i grill a tie and apron. Always this apron. Always this onen that shirt and tie. But youre going to help us today. Youre starting out with this baby. With this grill. A lot of us think who is going to get hurt from krilg . 16,000 people go to the hospital from barbecue problems. This is timely. The first thing you want to do, we have this side of the house here. A lot of us, including at my house, you have the grill sort of against the house. What you want to do is literally move it ten feet out. You want it ten feet. Is that minimum . Yes. Flames could come out the back. Sometimes flames come out here and they caught homes on fire. You want it ten feet out. The next thing you want to do, make sure will is no gas leak. Do the soapy water test. You come down to the you see the propane tank here. You put the propane tank on and you want to spray the soapy water, just put hope and watter in a little thing here. If you see it start bubbling that, means you have a gas leak in the pipe. Ive never done. That that is so smart. Its 15 seconds. And you know if you have a leak. If you do have a gas leak, dont use it . Exactly. One other thing, what a lot of people do is they keep the lid closed while they ignite it. Dont do. That the gas builds up. Before you turn it on. You want to opt grill up. Let the gas dissipate a little bit. Till still there enough to ignite but not create a fireball. I didnt know you with start it with lid down. Oh, you can. Oh, yeah. All you have to do is. That open the lid. And heres the thing that i do a lot which turns out is 100 wrok. You know you start igniting it and it doesnt go. You keep doing it like. That dont do. That fit doesnt ignite on first try, shut it down. Let it dissipate. Keep the lid up. Walk away for three to five minutes then try it again. What else . All right. So a lot of us wonder when we host barbecues how long can you keep the food out . How long can you keep the food out without making your guests sick . According to the usda, can you have food out, like this, outside, for about two hours. Really . Even with mayo in it . Yes n coleslaw and potato salad. Now if its over 90 degrees, that drops to one hour. Okay. Is that for sun, shade sun, shade, anything. 90 degrees or more, bring in it after an hour. Here is Something Else that is really cool. These things for a couple dollars, they look great as hats, for one. Im sure you look beautiful with it. Its like a derby hat. And you put it right over. Protects it from bugs. You want to do that, too. Can you get that at most Big Box Stores for a couple dollars. This will help you grill safely this summer. I think thats interesting. I always thought fit had mayo in it, that is like danger zone for any length of time. Its the same as other kinds of food good with the mayo under 90 degrees. About it way, you dont have to throw it out. Can you bring it in and refrigerate it. The burgers, can you freeze them. When you are available to cook out for us . Im coming this weekend. Its on, memorial day. Thank you. Willie, what do you have coming up next . Oh. He said oh. Willie got a pair of tv sisters from the hit netflix shows. This is who i got. All right. Thats next.

Play it the heart attack. Say the surgeon will to go back in because they left a coke can in top. Over the tap. Bow tie . Is a surgeon a gambler . Ill buy the vendors, you divide the guest list. Wouldnt it be better to take the list since they all like you better than me. The guests will be so eager to get off the phone with you it will go by quickly. Brutal yet fair point. Smarter than i give you credit for. All right. Theyre here. The show, just released second season, renewed for a third season. Most important thing we were discussing is whether or not there should be spanks for men. Very important. They say yes, yes, and yes. Im n im not protesting. If they existed, i would wear them. They do exist. We debated whether its okay for men to wear lips or should heels. Look, do i love the idea of a man in lifts . No. I do. Im 59. Its not easy being a tall actress in this industry. Okay. News flash, most of the actors are tiny. And male actors dont want to be on the apple boxes. No. We also want them to understand what we go through every day. You said, thank goodness you have the third season coming up because all of this beauty it costs a lot of money. 5 million youre looking at right now. Ive been up since 1 00 in the morning. Its working. Just getting ready. Thank you. Its really working. Its really working. Can i talk about the show . Or spanks, is that more important . Willie wants some. Would you suggest your husband wear spanks . I want to see him in spanks, a lift. I want to see it. I do, and you should, too. I feel the responsibility should be equal. Just so they know what it many feels like. Just for a day. Be me for a day. I cant breathe right now. Human spanks. Just hold me in. You guys have amazing chemistry. Is this because youve been working on the show, these great characters . Its all fake. We do not like each other. No, you know, brooklyn and i met on the first season of the show. And, yes, naturally got along. Both of us being supermodels was helpful because we had something commonality there. Galavanting around every day, it was helpful. Im a genius comedian. Not everyone gets it. I dont like hanging out with anyone not a supermodel, so it works out well. Its really good. It does. Its very good. You do get to hang out with jane fonda and lily tomlin, which although not supermodels, might as well be. I would argue they are. I would say they are, too. You have supermodel status. Youre .

Traditionally, its in the south of italy, naples, serve it with grilled fish. I kind of like the acidity of it. This is what were doing. We have some extra virgin olive oil. This is our version of it, so to speak. Carmelize this garlic. Were going to add the crushed red pepper. Parsley and capers. Were going to cook that together. It really develops that flavor nicely. How long is that . Its going to take about three and a half to four minutes or so. Really low temperature, maybe a little longer. Just make sure its nice and brown like that. Capers, the crushed red peppers, its a little spicy, acidic. Beautiful. Then we come here. We have a little oregano. Add chopped parsley, oregano, lemon zest. Lemon juice, as well. We like the nice, bright acidity. Why do you like this steak . First of all, its known for flavor, not necessarily the tenderness. If you cut it the right way. I like a lot of salt on my steak. What do you do first . We forgot that step. We marinated it in a here we are. Its only 9 00 a. M. We marinated with herbs, olive oil and it rested overnight. Super hot grill. Thats the key to a great steak. We want to sear the exterior of it. How good is this, ladies, by the way . Amazing. We cut this against the grain. Nice, sharp knife. Thats tender. Thats where the tenderness comes from. So good. Then we simply put it on a platter with the beautiful sauce. Beautiful. Loving it. The lemon is bright. Its different. Were going to eat this now.
