Transcripts For KTIV Today 20151106

Announcer from nbc news, this the today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Weve got willie in for matt. Kind of the middle of the night for al but still has his hawaiian moves down. He is ready for rokerthon 2. Always looks good in a hawaiian shirt. We know that about al roker. I would say im jealous of the weather out there, but its 75 degrees today here in new york and across the east coast. Weve got a little hawaii here this morning. More on that in a moment, but well begin with the newest fallout this morning over the downed russian plane in egypt. This is a crash that now has u. S. Officials ready to make changes to security procedures here. Weve got two reports for you this morning. Lets start with nbcs tom costello. He covers aviation for us. Tom, good morning. What can you tell us. Reporter savannah, good morning. As you know, the white house announced yesterday that in the wake of the metrojet crash it was reviewing security and really reviewing it at overseas airports for flights in boend. In total overseas 275 airports have agreements with how they work with the tsa and United States to enhance and ensure that the security is up and operational and in compliance with tsa regulations. What were hearing is a handful of airports and those in the middle east will likely receive a mandate and or a strong recommendation from the United States government, from the tsa, working in concert with the airlines and foreign governments that they need to be doing a bit more, stepping up security in the wake of what happened with metrojet. Were talking about enhanced random screenings, possibly hances screenings of passengers, of luggaga and cargo, and what the brits haha been doingngs especially interesting. The brits have been sayingng especially to those passengers ininharm el sheikh, you u n fly out but not your luggage on the same planene i donnsee that with the ununed here in the United States, no dramatic changes to the security posture. Theres a possibility of more random screening, more swabbing of the hands, looking for any indications of explosive residues and more canine teams in the airports. Nothing overt. Mostly this is a deterrent to dissuade anyone who might be persuaded or enticed by isis and by that particular incident overseas. Most of this effort will be focused on overseas airports, people flying to the United States. Savannah . All right. Tom costello, a lot of soul searching in the wake of that crash. And as investigation into that crash moves forward thousands of tourists left stranded in egypt for nearly a week are finally able to head home. Correspondent bill neely has made his way to Sharm El Sheikh this morning. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Many of the emergency flights to evacuate tourists from this airport have been suspended this morning, and egypt wont say why. But a clear rift is growing between britain and the u. S. On one side who think a bomb caused this crash and egypt and russia on the other who say its too early to tell. 20,000 british tourists trying to get out, but theres a twist. British tourists are leaving, but its hand baggage only. No checked bags, suggesting british officials fear a bomb was smuggled into the hold of the doomed russian plane at this airport, a suspicion the president shares. There is a possibility that there was a bomb on board, and were taking that very seriously. Reporter this airport has been scrutinized closely. Investigators questioning security workers and seizing video. Egypt says this is one of the safest airports in the world, checked regularly by western experts who they say found no gaps in security this year and gave it the all clear. But british tourists say they paid 30 to a guard to avoid long lines and some security checks. No point did my luggage go through, you know, any scanner. Reporter fear is the russian plane was vulnerable to attack. The airbus was on the ground here for just an hour. In that time cleaners, caterers and baggage handlers were in it or beside it. Police and maintenance crews had access to the plane with minimal checks, in pitch darkness before it took off, explodidi around 20 minutes later. We still dont knonothe plane s bombed. Phphos from the ground show holes punched through the fuselage but frorowhat . We still donon know what evidence there is ofoferrorism. Inteteigence officials picked up chatter from isis supporters suggesting an attack but onlnl after it c cshed. Isis has claimed the attack twice. And facts on the ground are proving hard to find. Now we should stress no hard evidence of a bomb has been found, and no one is ruling out the possibility that a technical fault caused this crash, but concern is growing, and the pressure on the investigators is growing, too. Savannah . All right, bill neely, thank you so much. Meantime, a lot of developments in politics this morning. Republican candidates Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee bumped from the main stage at next debate as frontrunner ben carson is facing some new scrutiny this morning and donald trump courts more controversy. Nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is across the street outside 30 rock where trump is set to host snl tomorrow night. Peter, good morning. Reporter hey, savannah, good morning to you. This tomorrow night is where the campaigns meet comedy, and in this case controversy as well. Theres already a protest rally scheduled ahead of trumps appearance tomorrow night, trump becoming the latest in a long to take their turn on the stage in studio 8h even though two more republicans have been demoted from the main debate stage. He said i could be his running mate. Cecily, did you hear im trumps vp. Im just shopping around. Reporter after saturday night live the next gop showdown is tuesdays debate where the official primetime lineup is getting smaller, down to eight. Frontrunners ben carson and trump are still center stage, but this time Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie missed the cut. Exiled to the earlier undercard debate. Christie feisty on stage last week. And were talking about fantasy football . Can we stop. Reporter now tweeting it doesnt matter the stage. Give me a podium, and ill be there to talk about real issues. Meanwhile, carson is coming under new scrutiny for views of history defending these past comments on the pyramids of egypt. My own personal theory is that joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain. Reporter in fact, historians say egyptians built the pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs. Carson defending his 17yearold claim with nbcs chris jansing. I think thats a possible explanation to how they got built. Reporter scientifically plausible . A plausible explanation. Its a personal belief because i happen to believe a lot of things that you might not believe because i believe in the bible. Reporter from the pharaohs to the Founding Fathers in a Facebook Post wednesday, carson defend his lack of political experience claiming every signer of the declaration of independence had no elected office experience. Not true. Omas jefferson, john adams and ben franklin, amononothers, been elected to colonial assemblies. Carsons complain n ter revising the post to say the signers had no federal office e perience, and new thth morning carson is targrging young voters, launching a radio ad complete with a rap. F fedom is not free andnde must fight for it every day. If we w wt to get america back on track, we gotta vote ben carson a matter of fact. Reporter as for that protest rally tomorrow night, its being held by latino groups still angry about Donald Trumps comments about undocumented mexican immigrants. They are going to start tomorrow night at trump towers several blocks away before marching right here to 30 rock. Savannah and willie, back to you. All right. Peter alexander across the street from us, thank you. Another republican hopeful, jeb bush, is having to answer new questions this morning about his brothers presidency, this in the wake of former president george h. W. Bush with surprising criticism in a new book of the men who advised his son. Nbcs Andrea Mitchell has more on this. Andrea, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. Well, just as jeb bush is trying to reboot his struggling president ial campaign, he has to explain his fathers startling new comments about his brother george w. Bushs white house, exposing a family rift after decades of silence. More fallout this morning after george h. W. Bushs stunning candor, telling his biographer jon meacham that his son, the president , got bad advice from his most trusted advisers. In the book bush 41 calls secretary Donald Rumsfeld an arrogant fellow and rumsfeld fired back telling nbc news that bush 41 is getting up in years and misjudges bush 43, who i found made his own decisions. Well, thats very regrettable to Say Something like that. One thing about bush 41 is as time passes we appreciate him more and more. Reporter two have a history. Asked in a 2013 documentary whether it was dick cheney who brought him into the Second Bush Administration i dont think george w. Bushs father recommended him. Reporter and in the new biography destiny in power the elder bush didnt spare criticism for his own secretary of defense including dick cheney an iron blank. Had much worse said about me. Reporter cheney on fox even recommended the book. I saw my role as being as tough and aggressive as needed to be to carry out the president s policy. Reporter george w. Bush in a statement said i am proud to have served with dick cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. My brother is a big boy. Reporter caught in the middle, jeb bush, trying to become the third bush president , telling nbcs kasie hunt. A lot of people who love george want to create a different narrative. George would say this is this was under my watch. I was commander in chief. Reporter now, although rumsfeld said that the elder bushs comments were because of his advancing years, in fact he made those comments years and years ago, repeated them and then only recently when the author jon meacham came to him and asked him if he wanted to elaborate, he said, no, he wouldndn change a thing. Willie and savannah. Amily dynamics playiyi out on a president ial stste. Andrea, thank you. To the democrara now, three of the white house h hefuls will take the stagegen south carolina, frontrunner hillala clininn change Bernie Sanders and Martin Omalley for a president ial forumumn msnbc and last night clinton m me another op on the late night talk show kimmel and she said if she had to face her husband bill clinton in an election guess what, she would come out on top. I think youve got to the have that kind of confidence if you in this arena trying to be president so if i were going to run against him, would i win . Yeah. Wow. Secretary clinton says that if she becomes president shes sure not title bill would have. She suggested first dude, first mate or perhaps first gentleman. President clinton is a little competitive. You think they might talk about that over dinner to explain why he would beat her state to state. Could be a long weekend for them. Now to some more stunning developments in this case weve been following. The Illinois Police officer who staged his own suicide to look like a police shooting. Authorities now say he may have tried to hire someone to kill a local official. Nbcs john yang is on top of all of the developments from fox Lake Illinois this morning. John, good morning.

The third party, she told us that it was for he had contacted her to reach out to the high level ranking motorcycle gang member for a hit. Reporter gang member denied any involvement, and investigators consider the matter closed.

I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. If you could see your cough, its just a cough. Youd see how often you cough all day and so would everyone else.

Jeb bush was a very strong governor, probably the strongest governor in the history of the state of florida. He was a young guy and i think there were some folks in the legislature that thought they might be able to run over him. That didnt happen. One tax cut wasnt enough he had to do more. It wasnt enough to have 15,000 kids with School Choice in florida, he wanted to have 100,000 kids. If he didnt like a project, it was going to be vetoed. It didnt matter if you were a republican. It didnt matter if you were his best friend. He said this is where were going, this is how were going to reform state government. every politician comes in talking about making change, and generally theres not much change. But governor bush made a lot of changes. He got the nickname veto corleone. If he saw something in the budget that he thought violated his conservative principles, you could guarantee it was gonna get whacked. He vetoed a bunch of my stuff and i was the senate president. The message to washington, d. C. , is get ready. because there will be change. Love that mousse in. Back at 8 40, the highly anticipated new bond movie spectre is out today and everyones favorite super spy is out to stop a secret Organization Led the by a miss tearious man and oo 7 has to deal with a new boss played by ralph fiennes. I feel like these are two suious, serious actors and so nice where the bond franchise is that it attracts actors of your caliber. Dont you feel like a very serious actor . Were very serious. But there was a time when bond films were more frivolous, wouldnt you say, and now they are getting actors like you . I think he brings the smarts to it. You were in sky fall. This is your first bond movie. Is this a situation where you werent sure or is it where did i sign . I said seriously and thought, well, if ralph can do it i can do it. Daniel craig is an experienced bond. Seriousness. To the role. I feel like hes given a new character to these films. It t should change with the actor, the character develops and evolves and the i always say the character doesnt have a choice. He needs to stick to his actor so, of course, you know, organically it changes into something new. See, thats just what a serious actor would say. Thats what i mean. But daniel has grown in fact hes already incredibly convincing, his physicality, sort of visceral commitment to the part was really strong but in this film theres a lightness and some of the old bondian humor is back in there. I really liked that and appreciated that. By the way, not a small feat. Youre playing m. And people loved judi dench. You like judi. We love her. You more than fill her high heels. I wanted the high heels, and, in fact, in a couple of scenes. Exactly. Little teaser. Thats where the seriousness really interferes. You plate villain in the film. You think . Youre not going to try to tell me hes misunderstood and has multiple layers, right . Hes mysterious and mean. Thats all, you know, i should think a matter of interpretation, but but, yes, in this in this specific case i avoid the v word normally and in this case its the villain and multilayered, i should hope so. We all are whether we want to or not and it makes it a little more interesting and a little more serious. It is a little more serious. Lets end where we began, gentlemen, great to be you, thank you so much. The movie is really fun. Spectre out today in theaters and in imax. Coming up next sara studio, 1a Grammy Nominated singer songwriter Sara Bareilles is out with a new album for an upcoming broadway show for which tickets are on sale now, by the way. Ladies and gentlemen, Sara Bareilles. Its not simple to say most days i dont recognize me knott its taken more than i gave them its not easy to know im not anything like i used to be although its true i was never attention sweet sensor i still remember that girl she is good but she lies she is hard on herself she is broken and wont ask for help she is messy but shes kind she is glowing most of the time she is also mixed up and picked in a beautiful pie she is gone but she used to be mine and its not what i asked for sometimes life just slips in through a back door and carves out the person and makes you believe its all and now ive got you and youre not what i asked for if im honest, i know i would give it all back for a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two for the girl that i knew would be reckless, just enough who get hurt but who learns how to toughen up when shes bruised and gets used by a man who cant love and then shell get stuck and be scared of the life thats inside her growing stronger each day till it finally reminds her to fight to bring back the fire in her eyes thats been gone but it used to be mine used to be mine she is messy but shes kind she is lonely most of the time she is all of this mix up and baked in a beautiful pie be mine what a voice. Sara bareilles, thank you. Again the at bum is whats inside, songs from waitress and sara will be back a little later this morning with more music. Up next, a remarkable story football and friendship that spans seven decades, but, first, this is today on nbc. The son of a polish immigrant who grew up in a brooklyn tenement. He went to public schools, then college, where the work of his life began fighting injustice and inequality, speaking truth to power. He moved to vermont, won election and praise as one of americas best mayors. In congress, he stood up for working families and for principle, opposing the iraq war, supporting veterans. Now hes taking on wall street and a corrupt political system funded by over a million contributions, tackling Climate Change to create cleanenergy jobs, fighting for living wages, equal pay, and tuitionfree public colleges. People are sick and tired of establishment politics, and they want real change [ cheers and applause ] Bernie Sanders husband, father, grandfather, an honest leader building a movement with you to give us a future to believe in. Were back at 8 52. Time for the ongoing series with football. The such a great story. Takes us back to world war ii and eight High School Teammates from a school in south texas, graduated early and enlisted together in the marines. Two, four, six, eight, they are all there. In 1943, eight teammates from tiny weslaco, texas, joined the marines and were shipped off to separate units in the pacific. While on leave, doc clerklers chance encounter with his best friend harlan block led to a promise. He said, hey, would you do me a favor. I want you to give this wring to my mother, and he said i may not be coming back. Harlon block is the marine kneeling in front as the stars iwo jima in 1945. Six days after the iconic photo was taken, he was killed in action. The memorial in arlington is not our countrys only iwo jima monument. The original is here on the campus of the Marine Military academy next to the little town in south texas where doc and harlon played football. When the young men are on the football field, they can see that monument, and it represents to them the courage they should exhibit, the leadership, the example that they need to set for others. Its a reminder to us as Football Players and as cadets in the academy of what great things were capable of. When he returned from the war, doc intended to keep his promise to harlon. His mother was my second mother. She kind of didnt want to talk to me. She said i do not want to be reminded. You better keep it. Harlon was only the one of our group that got killed in that business. Doc wore that ring every day to keep harlons memory alive. In 2010 he donated it to the counts and friendship never dies. Its just amazing the bond that two people can have. A Football Team is a brotherhood. This ring kind of symbolizes that, too. They went through friday night lights and further on into the war. Of the eight Football Players who enlisted together, doc is the last survivor. He was a high school principal. Hes still married to his college sweetheart, and he stayed in south texas his entire life, never far from where his best friend rests in the shadow of the great monument. Harlon was my buddy. Dont know why that i made it. Sometimes you dont know how to feel. Glen cleckler and his teammates originally picked up the recruiting flyer to use as a cover for skipping schools to go to the movies and the principal saw them with the flyer and accelerated their graduation so they could join us as soon as possible. A lifetime of friendship captured in a beautiful story. What an incredible story are and hes still here to tell us which is really special. Representing that special group of eight men. And speaking of football in texas, catch the cowboys taking on the eagles sunday night right here on nbc. Weve got a few moments left. Are we going to check in with al do. We have the courage to check in with al . Hes still standing. Al, hi. Weve had a great time here. Were going to be coming back at hawaiian and then this weekend well be in anchorage. We move to missoula, to california, to nevada, just to name a few states. It all gets rolling. Some Bishop Heelan High School Students got to head out of the classroom to put their art skills to work thursday. They painted animals on the walls of the childrens play area at burger king restaurant on hamilton boulevard. It came out really nice. It really fits the plain background. And, the color is pretty good, too, like, they blend together. So, i was pretty satisfied, said student tuyen le. To thank them for their work, burger king is donating a new pottery wheel to the heelan art department. Heres ben with weather. This morning on todays take jania causeky is cohosting with me and the man, the myth james franco on his new film and other exciting projects and former mad men star John Slattery back in the spotlight. All that and more coming up right now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rock flerg plaza. Welcome to today. Its friday morning, november the 6th, 2015. A balmy 70something degrees here in new york city and in a large part of the country. Im willie and im a little lonely. Not going to lie to you. Tamron and natalie are off doing god knows what and al is kicking off rokerthon in hawaii and only if i had a cohost ive got a brand new pair of oh, my gosh, is that who i jania causeky of the unbreakable Jimmy Schmitz and back wards. Janiakowski is thea woman who knows how to make an entrance. Melanie. This is actually happening, this yes it is. Brace yourselves. Clearly ill be top nbc brass is away and never would have let this hour happen together. Started the morning off quite in style out of roller skates. Came out of vintage cross. Will they be here. You know jane, of course, in unbreakable Jimmy Schmitz. Yes, so excited for everybody sometimes in the spring and so amazing. Had the pleasure of you coming to visit and it was great to have you there. That show isnt so funny. Go on netflix and every seen and i felt that way on thirty rock. Thats so nice of you. Also miss jane returning to broadway in she loves me which is a revival from a 1960s musical. Im not sure of the original date but it is a revival, and broadway. Yes. And im thrilled to be coming back and sort of my theater family here on broadway and they are celebrating their 15th anniversary so its an honor to come back to one their productions. For people who dont know about Jane Krakowski, youve got the emmy going, grammy, we know you can sing, oscars, headed that direction and youve got the tony. Ive got a lot of letters to go. She also played Janet Maroney on 30 rock and elaine on ally mcpeel and later you auditions for another classic role. Did you audition to be rachel on friends. I did and this story went further than i ever expected. Youre on the hot seat on a red carpet, answer the question quickly, and i and i did actually audition for friends. I cant get very far. I literally had one or two auditions. Never really up for the role of rachel. Sort of went a little too far and people have been aghast that i may have ruined it. Were going with the original story, that you were this close and aniston stepped in and i think i have a picture of you for your audition, right, right. I love it. What could have been. That could have worked i could have bought nbc with the milk shake. Thats hilarious. So now we know all these roles about Jane Krakowski, all these famous roles, but we want to dig through krakowski classics, some of perhaps your lesser known works. Oh, dear. In the movies we know you were cousin vicky in vacation. Thats true. Did you know that on tv you played in the soap on are a search for tomorrow. Oh, no, no, no. Search for tomorrow as t. R. Kendall. Here we go. Oh, matilda, what am i going to do . What am i going to do . Oh, t. R. Wow. Its amazing i continued to get work in show business, a, and that that clearly from that scene, that soap opera was cancelled right after that. Immediately. We call it the krakowski effect. Do you remember what was happening in that scene . You were speaking to a bunny, it would appear. I think my character had run hi found out i was my characters name was p. R. Yes. Because they couldnt think of a name for her and it was the runaway. It was t. R. For the runaway. T. R. , wow. This one i didnt know until yesterday. The babysitter was played in fatal attraction by Jane Krakowski. Worse than flashback. Oh, my goodness. Tell me about this role. Whats going on here. What have we got . That was actually my 19th birthdts when i filmed that scene. Really. And i had a few other scenes in the movie which were cut out and i got a lovely letter from the director saying were see sorry that you were cut out and it became a classic film of all time. You got your little shot in the there, did have a great scene with Michael Douglas where he was flirting with the babysitter but it made him look too guilty and thats allegedry why too much foreshadowing. And well dig deeper into the vault. Commercial work for miss krakowski. You remember the game solar fox for atari. Oh, my goodness. How early is this in the career . Talking about probably 14 or 15 years old. Youre seeing my puberty right on film, wow. You can see the braces i have. They kicked in a little bit later. This is fun for me. I dont know how youre doing. Weve done tv and the movies and commercial work and also jane has been in music videos. Am i going to die . Is this the end of my life . The year is goodbye, america. The year is 2000, a starring role in kind of a dark video as it turnsous, the dixie chicks goodbye earl. Watch. Wrapped up in that car a song about murdering your husband. I had interesting choices. Daddy, kiss the bus, murdered my husband in a dixie chicks video. Theres a darkness there. That concludes krakowski klassics. Thank you, thank you. There you are, t. R. Are so so thank you, guys. T. R. , never felt so welcome at end of my career so strongly. Heres now have thing about you. Youre from new jersey. Im from new jersey. Yes.

By saturday we get back to normal and by sunday things are cooler than usual. And now as we see the palm trees waving good buy. Us saw temps in the 60s early this morning only to see them fall into the upper 40s by late this afternoon. A lot of clouds but only a few showers were in the region but we should clear out some tonight and see a chilly night with lows in the 30s. The next couple of days will stay cooler with highs in the low to mid 50s. Then highs could get closer to 60 again by sunday and into the first part of next week before some rain and that is your latest weather. You guys are a great team, boy. Ive got to tell you. You dont need the rest of us. No. A we need you back, buddy. We do, we do. This is never airing, right . This is not airing.

James franco, oscarnominated actor, director, screenwriter, producer, musician, author and winner of the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize in physics. You can catch him in the film version of the found and the fury which james wrote, directed and starred in. Okay. James, good to see you, man. Thank you. Good to see you. Did we get it all . Did we get it all in. I think. And did we say allaround good guy. I think you said costar on a lot to talk about in your career and Everyone Wants to me. Thing. And then she swooped in. I fell in love with a body pillow which i have still. I kept, that yeah. The set. Okay. Sounds like a 30 rock plot. Lets talk about this play. What drew you to faulkner and sound of the fury. Literature has been a huge part of my life. Ive been to a lot of schools, and im a literature major, and so when i started directing my own movies i started bringing those two worlds together, so this is actually the second faulkner book that ive adapted, and, you know, a lot of people have said this is an unadaptable novel. Written in sort of a very dense opaque way, but for me that was take on that style and have it push me to do things that i wouldnt normally do as a director. Good for you. And i think mazel tov is in order, is it a correct in. Yes. I had my bar mitzvah. I am my mothers jewish and im technically jewish, and i was never bar mitzvahed when i was young so it was something that i always talked about with friends that one day, you know, when the school was done or when i had a break i would, you know, prepare for my bar mitzvah and i would have it and then seth rogen sort of just pushed me into it and said why dont we do it and well do it for charity, his cause hilarity for charity that fights alzheimers you raised so much money. Thats fantastic. Youre good at these things. You take the roast, the bar mitzvah, do you like that, people coming at you a little bit . I guess i dont mind using my public persona or my personality for, you know, comedic purposes. Yes. I guess im good at that. You are good about that. Just talking about your aol show making a scene. Explain the scenes, mashup scenes. Yes. This is our second season. Its the idea was to recreate either scenes from movies. In the first season we did movies and now this season were doing television shows. The other thing about it that i really like is that theres two elements that are out of our control. We dont choose the shows. We let people online choose the shows and then we put all the shows that have been chessen on a big wheel and we spin a wheel, a sometimes well wash two shows up, sex in the city and breaking bad or freaks and geeks and saved by the bell so we dont decide those things. Thats sort of out of our Creative Control and once were given those elements we have to make sense of it. Right. Really weird, you know, and after the first season we realized it was actually really funny, and the other great thing about it is people pick, you know, theres most of the show is i love also some an whatever, but we get is to sort of reenter those world and in a very fun way i kind of get to revisit all my Television Shots . Is it impromptu on the spot . Do you write those . No. Im a teacher in l. A. At usc in cal arts so a lot of the first drafts are written by my graduate students. Oh. And then some of the write efforts, at snl, mikey day and some others rewrite them. Yeah. And then on the set theres one more kind of pros etz offism vasing it. So funny. From faulkner to mashups and saved by the bell show. This is released on dvd and, again, check out his show on although. Good to see you, my man. Nice to see you.

Back here in new york, you know him as roger sterling on madmen. Editor in the stunning new movie spotlight. The film chronicles a team of journalists who work tirelessly to expose the children of scandal. We need to focus on the institution, not the individual priests. Practice and policy. Show me the church manipulated the system. Show me they put those same priests back into parishes time and time again. Show me this was systemic. That it came from the top down. Good morning. First of all, that cast as you pan around the table. Its an amazing group. Were just talking about this, this is a story, 2002 i think the investigation was. 2001. 2001 into two. Its a story that a lot of us are familiar with. Yet this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. Yeah, they really turned this into a thriller. Chasing down the story, watching these journalists go to Great Lengths despite the resistance from the church and City Government to uncover this scandal. I loved the movie so much. We both got to see it before interviewing you today. Working with all of those actors, it felt to me a bit like such great ensemble work of even like a play. Youre all of such great acting talent. But you all were on the same page and it was so well done. Thank you. I think we were all playing real people that weve all met. And ben bradley jr. Couldnt have been more helpful to me. Rather than do some sort of physical approximation, we were all trying to recreate that persons contribution to the story. You know, we were all playing people serving that story. And that made it very interesting. The real people throughout, did you all get to meet them . We all had extensive meetings and contact with them. Generous. Day. He just opened up his whole life, personal, professionals, answered every dumb question that i had. We became friends. They all came to the set. Theyre all sort of consulting about, you know, helping us with accuracy and tone in the room and what would happen in various meetings. It was very well vetted by tom and josh, josh singer who wrote the script with tommy. They were very careful to make sure throughout the Screening Test screening process, is this the way this would have happened, is this the way, you told. Can you speak to the obstacles this group of journalists faced as they took on not just america but in the world. In the catholic church, arch diocese in the country. The readership at the globe at the time was i think 50 catholic. They didnt have theres a line in the film that says, this story needed spotlight, which is longterm investigative journalistic team. They uncovered documents proving that cardinal law knew about particularly this father and was taking him out of one parish and moving him to another. That was when the story gained the systemic, you know, proportion. But they had great resistance. If it takes a theres a line, if it takes a well, i dont know. Im going to mess it up. The police, the City Government, the you know, people knew. Yeah. I think you should be gearing up for award season. I think youre all going to be there. Such an incredible film. Totally riveting. I have to ask you this most important piece of business this morning. A lot of people call you silver fox. You dont like the silver fox thing. You have a preferred name. Is that true . A preferred name . Nickname. Instead of silver fox. I dont know. The male version of cougar. Mougar, did you not say that . Ive never even heard of that. This is totally made up. I guess some people are calling you a mougar. Glad i laid that one on the desk. Thanks so much. Spotlight in theaters today. Up next, we learn how to make the best mac and cheese ever. Right after this. Earning unlimited cash back on purchases. Thats a win. But imagine earning it twice. You can with the citi double cash card. It lets you earn cash back twice. Once when you buy and again as you pay. Its cash back then cash back again. And thats a cash back winwin. The citi double cash card. The only card that lets you earncash back twice on everypurchase with 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem onesided. I was not aware of how much acidity was in my diet. I was so focused on making good food choices, i had no idea that it was damaging the enamel of my teeth. I wanted to fix it, i wanted to fix it right away. My dentist recommended pronamel. He said that pronamel can make my teeth stronger, that it was important, that that is something i could do each day to help protect the enamel of my teeth.
