Ferns. Is it hard for you to maintain why . Because you live in your wifes shadow. In a bit for the ages, presses all the superstars buttons today, friday, october 24th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Im matt lauer along with hoda kotb, al roker, tamron hall. Natalie is off and savannah is on Maternity Leave. I dont know if i would rather host on between two ferns or be a guest on between two ferns. The best video youll see, perfect for friday. Well get to that a little later on. Obviously, theres a lot to talk about this morning. Our top story, new concerns over ebola after a new york city doctor tested positive. The 33yearold is in isolation at Bellevue Hospital this morning, but his neighbors in upper manhattan have a lot of questions about where that doctor went and what he did in the days leading up to his diagnosis. Were going to talk to new yorks governor, andrew cuomo and dr. Natalie azar in just a moment. First we want to head a few blocks to our south where katy tur is at bellevue. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. New york city Officials Say they are prepared for this they do want to stress, they do not believe this patient was a risk to the general public. Again, the first case of ebola here in new york city, and the patient is a 33yearold e. R. Doctor, just back from treating ebola patients in west africa and now he, his fiancee and two friends are in isolation. Overnight, the new York Health Department confirmed the first case of ebola in americas largest city. There is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. Reporter new york city bill di blasio urged public calm. Its very difficult to contract. Being on the same subway car or living near a person with ebola does not, in itself, put someone at risk. Reporter Governor Andrew Cuomo drew a sharp distinction between new yorks preparedness and dallas where one patient died and two nurses contracted the disease. We are as ready as one could be for the circumstance. What happened in dallas was actually the exact opposite. Reporter dr. Craig spencer is currently in isolation at Bellevue Hospital in manhattan. After being admitted around 1 00 pm thursday with a 103degree fever and gastrointestinal problems consistent with ebola. He had been back in the u. S. About a week after working with patients in new guinea as part of the Doctors Without Borders program. He self isolated when returning but also said he rode three separate subway trains, went bowling. He did not feel well for, quote, a couple of days but did not fully self quarantine until thursday morning. However, they stress during that time he was an extremely low risk for being contagious to others. His fiancee is being quarantined as a high risk, as are two others close to him. In harlem, dr. Spencers apartment is sealed off and his neighbors put on alert. They said to me if you have been in west africa, treating you know, treating patients with ebola if you come back into the country, lets take the appropriate precautions and say we should isolate you for 21 days. Reporter Officials Say his fiancee and two friends are okay, that they are not symptomatic as of now. They also want to stress this is a doctor who knows the disease and that he self quarantined and called the Health Department as soon as he had a sign of a fever. Again, they do not believe that he was a risk to the general public. Matt . Katy tur on the story, thank you very much. Andrew kruchltcuomo is the gove new york. Thank you for joining us. Good to see you, matt. I dont think anybody should be shocked that a case of ebola has now been diagnosed in new york city. Its a major port of entry in this country. Once dr. Spencer identified himself, did officials here do what they needed to do in a timely fashion and exercising the proper protocols . Are you confident in that . As confident as one can be, matt. You know, with youre right, this is a situation that we hoped wouldnt happen, but we expected that it would. It is new york. People come through here. We also have the advantage here of notice. Dallas really had no notice. We all watched happened in dallas. We have been preparing literally for weeks on a coordinated effort plan, between new york city, new york state, federal government, cdc. We had just done a training with 5,000 Health Care Workers, Health Care Union has been fantastic. And this was a doctor, as you heard in the setup piece. So, the doctor was familiar with the disease. And, again, this is not like the flu. Its not airborne. Its not from people sneezing. The person has to be symptomatic. And its basically transferred through bodily fluids. You say it was a doctor familiar with the disease i apologize for interrupting. You say it was a doctor familiar with the disease yet you heard that gentleman at the end of katy turs piece saying if youre so familiar with the disease, youve been treating patients in nuinea, do you take the subway, do you go to a Bowling Alley . Do you think dr. Spencer acted responsibly . Im not a doctor, matt. The flip side of what you said is if youre a doctor, you know youre not contagious until youre symptomatic. This is a doctor who is taking his temperature twice a day and, obviously, concluded he was not symptomatic and thats why he went out. Still, in a limited way. He went bowling with two friends. He was with his fiancee. And he took the subway. He obviously felt he wasnt symptomatic. He knew that was the only time he w it was contagious. As soon as he had a fever, he presented himself to the hospital. All the procedures there on were exactly according to the book. The First Responders did a magnificent job. The Health Care Workers did a magnificent job. So, everything has happened the way it should happen since then. Weve been in contact with the federal officials, president obama called last night, ron klain, the new ebola czar, sylvia burdwell, secretary of human and health services. Everything worked as it should. The doctor wasnt symptomatic. Thats why he left the house, he wasnt symptomatic. New yorks governor, andrew cuomo, thank you for being here. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Wish it was under different circumstances but always good to talk to you, matt. Thanks. Glets over to hoda. Dr. Natalie azar is a medical professor at langone medical center. Good morning. Governor cuomo said hes not a doctor so he couldnt say if he acted responsibly. Did he act responsibly . We have to deal with the facts and the fact weiss know about the virus. Youre not contagious when youre asymptomatic. As you get sicker and sicker, you become more and more contagious as the viral load increases. So the likelihood of this particular patient being able to transmit this virus, via casual contact in use of public transportation, we never want to say zero, but as close to zero as possible. Lets talk about casual contact. People do worry about these kinds of things. There were people on the subway, people who rode in that uber car afterwards. Governor kruchlt omo said a sneeze, you cant catch it this way but i f i was this close to you and i sneezed on you, could you get it . The amount of the virus in your system depends on how sick you are. A patient infected with ebola is so sick that theyre actually vomiting, bleeding, and having diarrhea, youre standing next to the person and touch the bodily fluid and you then have a portal of entry into your own body. Do you think that doctors coming from west africa be quarantined not voluntarily, but mandatory . There should, perhaps, be a discussion about those Health Care Workers who were clearly at the greatest risk of acquiring ebola. Should there be a mandatory quarantine for them . The cdc has been incredibly responsive and communicative with Health Care Systems and fluid as well and their recommendations have been evolving. They can look at this scenario and see whether Something Like that should be implemented. For the time being this doctor followed orders directly from Doctors Without Borders. Dr. Azar is going to stick around to answer your questions. Send them to orange room. Dr. Kent bradley is speaking out about this case in new york city. In this exclusive statement to nbc news, dr. Brantly tells us, quote, from everything ive read and heard about his circumstances, it sounds like new york has done everything right to contain this case. I hope the people of new york can likewise set an example for the rest of the country by handling this event with reason and calm instead of panic. Now to that deadly terror attack in canada, this morning were learning a little bit more about the gunman behind it as chilling new Surveillance Video surfaces of the shooting spree. Kevin tibbles is in ottawa once again. Good morning to you. Reporter matt, this morning canadian Officials Say the killer had come to ottawa in hopes of getting a positiveport and traveling to syria, presumably in hopes of joining up with isis. We have learned through the current investigation that this individual has been in ottawa. That he was in town to deal with a passport issue and hoping to leave for syria. Reporter that man, Officials Say, is michael zehafbibeau, with plans to travel to syria. Officials believe the day in his passport, due to a background check, may have prompted the tragic shooting wednesday. He is seen here, minutes after killing a canadian soldier with a rifle. And then is seen heading for the canadian parliament. He commandeers a second car heading for the front door. Once inside, he continues firing until being killed in a shootout with security. Credited with stopping the shooter, the sergeant in arms, kevin vickers, a former police officer, seen here, gun in hand just as the incident ended. The canadian government saying it refused to allow a terrorist to interrupt its work reconvened, celebrating vickers as a hero. When the nation needed him yesterday, he was there. And he did what he had to do. Were just tremendously relieved that hes fine. Zehafbibeau had a criminal record and some say he once asked to be sent to jail to overcome an addiction to crack cocaine. He had been living in a homeless shelt shelter. His conversion to islam took place at this British Columbia mosque. His mother, who hasnt seen him in years denounced his actions saying, i am mad at my son. I dont understand and part of me wants to hate him at this time. At canadas war memorial where Army Corporal Nathan Cirillo was killed in cold blood, they came to lay flowers and pay tribute. In a makeshift memorial outside cirillos home, two friends waited for their master to come home. It has been learned that zehafbibeau held canadian and american citizenship. That young corporal will be buried next week. Another disturbing attack, this one here in new york city. A frightening scene played out on a new york city street thursday when a man with a hatchet attacked a group of Uniformed Police officers, wounding two of them. Stephanie gosk has the story. Reporter security video records the moment a man races across a sidewalk with hatchet in hand. The male then swung at one of the officers with the hatchet, striking his arm. He continues swinging the hatchet, striking a second officer in the head, causing him to fall to the sidewalk. Reporter the uninjured officers opened fire on the suspect, killing him, and accidentally shooting a 29yearold female bystander half a block away from the crime scene. Police sources have identified the suspect as 32yearold Zale Thompson and saying this Facebook Page showing muslim prayers and armed fighter belongs to him. Looking for clues as to what may have triggered the attack, theyve not found any literature from hate groups at this time. Issuing a patrol bulletin, warning officers about potential attacks. I think certainly the heightened concern is relative to that type of assault, based on whats just happened in canada. But thats what the investigation will attempt to determine. Reporter stephanie gosk, nbc news, new york. Now to that massive air bag recall affecting dozens of makes and models, auto dealers say there are not enough Replacement Parts to fix the problem. Air bag inflaters are made by the takata corporation. Calling tem a potential ticking time bomb that could explode, sending metal shrapnel. You should get the air bag replaced as soon as possible.

In newly released Surveillance Video from iceland, a man ramming his car through a parking garage gate. He was not satisfied he got through it. Backed his car up, knocking over his companion at one point, who had gotten out of the car. He saved the best for last, hitting the gate so hard, it flipped over his car. No one was hurt. The damage to the gate was costly. I have to go back to the dogs, jordan and hurricane. Check out their profiles. Apparently hurricane loves playing with his little squeaky toy, tough dog, and jordan likes long walks on the white house lawn. Sweet. People are really giving them love today for their hard work.

Smart idea. It is smart. Lets begin this half hour with a today exclusive. This is tied to a story weve been following for some time now. A South Carolina state trooper fired after shooting and wounding an unarmed driver who was stopped because he wasnt wearing a seat belt. In a moment, well talk to the victim in the case exclusively. But first, more of his story. Moments before the confrontation, the dash cam individual wroe shows former state trooper shawn gruberts car getting ready to leave the gas station when, instead, he backs up suddenly and stops behind lev rachlt. Jones,s gets out of his truck not far from the gas pumps. May i have your license please . Reporter when he reaches for his license, groubert yells to get out of the car. Get out of the car get out of the car get on the ground jones was shot in the hip. What did i do, sir . Are you hit . I think so. I cant feel my leg. I dont know what happened. I just grabbed my license. I need a 1052. Why did you why did you shoot me . Well, you dove head first back into your car. Im sorry. Then you jumped back out. Im sorry. I didnt hear two words. Why were you pulling me over . I just pulled in seat belt violation. I just pulled it off right there at the corner to pull in the gas station ahh. Well, ive got help coming to you, okay . I got help coming to you. Groubert has been charged with aggravated assault and battery. His Attorney Says theres more than one way to interpret the video. Calling the shooting unwarranted and, quote, he reacted to a perceived threat where there was none. Levar jones is with us exclusively along with his attorney, annette dorsey. Good morning. Good to have you here. How are you feeling . Feeling good, brother. Got the cane, still recuperating . Trying to get my legs back under me, head back together. Its been a slow, but sure recovery. You didnt want to watch that videota videotape. No, i did not. Still have not seen it . No, sir. Why not . It brings back a lot of memories, for one. Second off, its something that i just really have no interest in watching. For two weeks, nobody even knew that video existed. Yes, yes. During that twoweek period you were getting all kinds of questions, whether saying them to your face or behind your back, saying his side of the story cant be right because nobody gets shot for no reason. Thats why it makes that tape so difficult for me to watch. The weeks that i had to go through, look at people and telling them basically i pulled over at a gas station. Officer asked me for my identification. When i reached for my identification, i was shot at. To tell that story to anybody is just something that no one can believe the first time, until the tape was released and they actually seen it. Have you gone over in your mind, levar, is there anything you would have done differently from the moment that trooper stopped you . No. Nothing . Nothing. I didnt have enough time to do anything differently. You were heard on that videotape apologizing. Yes. That is part of the tape that started me. Why were you apologizing . I actually was watching the morning that it got released, no one can believe how fast everything happen ed on that tape. Its shocking. And its very disturbing. I know me, personally, i wasnt the only person that was affected by this. I know total strangers that have met me after the fact and told me they started crying. So much love and compassion has came out from across the country. So this is the situation where right now, we need to take all those feelings and put them into a bigger cause than even myself or even that tape. You want more Police Departments across the country to use those dash cam videos. You want more Police Officers to wear cameras on their bodies so that instance like this are caught on tape and it wont be a he said, he said or he said, she said type situation. This trooper is facing criminal charges, could be sent to prison up to 20 years. What do you think is a fair punishment . I really feel he needs to be charged with something that holds felony status. That way, he will have to sign a gun act, will no longer be able to carry a gun, will no longer be able to be a police officer. What about recourse for you . Do you have Legal Recourse you can seek in this case . I think besides recourse, our main purpose for being here is to let the nation know that theres no amount of money that could justify what happened to levar. And so were seeking justice. Were seeking to join those mothers against police brutality. Were seeking to push the issues across the nation where cities are question for the need of whether dash cams and body cams are need. Levar, thank you for being here. Thank you. Good luck. Continued good health. Well get a check of the weather now from al.

You throw them on a Remote Island and see if they can make it. Does that sound too far fetched . You know what . That actually happened. Capitol hill correspondent Kelly Odonnell has more on this interesting story. Hey, kel. Good to see you, hoda. Good morning, everyone. Secrets can be hard to keep in washington, we know that. This is quite a tale. For 18 months, two senators planned a difficult and exotic trip and told none of their fellow senators, making their own experiment in cooperation. A plunge into what looks like paradise. Crystal blue waters. 7,000 miles from their day jobs in washington. I was just looking for another senator who could spear fish, you know. Reporter but this was no vacation. We had to shelter quickly. Made for tv survival test. First clam down the hatch. I just hope it stays down the hatch. Reporter take one democrat. In a survival situation sleeping with a democrat. Thankfully, not too close. Marooned in the North Pacific on an island. I think there will be a few people on my side, at least, who will be upset, consorting with the enemy. Yeah. Reporter and you have Discovery Channels new show, rival survival. After about 20 coconuts, i can say were both over the Coconut Water fad. Reporter leaving d. C. Dysfunction far behind for seven days, forced to, dare i say it, Work Together with only three tools. The first item we both agreed on was the machete. Reporter and search for freshwater brought these senators to their knees. Slurping up water from leaves, very unsan torial, i can tell you that. Reporter there had to have been moments when you were saying, what am i doing here . That was one of them. That was one of them. Yeah. Reporter their goal, to come back with more than a sun tan. If we could exist on a deserted isle, maybe we could reach across the aisle here. We know each other better, we trust each other more. Reporter that trust is the tool they built together, an adventure in team work. And while they still disagree on most political issues, they do hope their New Friendship will improve their ability to cooperate back on the job here in this town. If you want to see more, the show rival survival airs next week on the Discovery Channel on the 29th and a little fine print for you.

Good morning from trinidad and tobago. All right. Its 8 00 on a friday morning, 24th day of october, 2014. And i do believe we have one of the craziest crowds weve had in a long time here on the plaza this morning. Amazing. Good morning, everybody. With hat a blast. Terrific to see you. What have we been handing out here . Something good. Can you wait for that Zach Gallifianakis bit . No. That is going to be so, so great. Welcome back to today. Im matt lauer along with hoda kotb. Weve got al roker and willie geist here as well. Savannah is on Maternity Leave and natalie is off today. Tamron is inside with a look at the news. Urging calm after confirming the citys first ebola case. Katy tur is at bellevue where the patient is being treated this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, tamron. An e. R. Doctor named dr. Craig spencer, who was in west africa, treating ebola patient with his Doctors Without Borders. He called the Health Department with a high fever. The Health Department called 911, determined they needed to send a hazmat team to his harlem apartment to get him here to Bellevue Hospital. He has since been confirmed as the first patient in new york city with ebola. Theyre trying to retrace his steps, to find everybody he may have come in contact with, including his fiancee and two others. They are now in isolation but not symptomatic. Earlier matt asked Governor Cuomo about the doctors decision to go out in public after returning from west africa. If youre a doctor you know youre not contagious until youre symptomatic. This is a doctor who is taking his temperature twice a day and obviously concluded that he was not symptomatic and thats why he went out. We are just 11 days away from the mid term elections and moderator of meet the press chuck todd has hit the road in an rv. He is talking to voters and candidates in the battleground states of hotly contested races. Chuck is in milwaukee this morning. Republican takeover of the senate looking like a done deal at this point . Good morning. It is. Good morning, tamron. Not yet a done deal. Although, every day that ebola or isis is in the news in these last ten days, i can tell you, talking to campaigns on both sides, they really do think that actually hurts the democrats. Drts are trying to have a Closing Argument in these senate races, making the case that the republicans too extreme on issues important to women or too extreme on domestic issues but they cant. If they cant break through with that and ebola and isis are dominating the headlines, it may put republicans in a better position. But not yet a done deal. If you had to pick, chuck, what two states would determine control of the senate would you say are on that list and state that is voters should really Pay Attention to . Believe it or not, were up to 13 states that have an impact on this battle for control of the senate. Republicans need a gain of six seats. But if i were to pick two states, i would say iowa and colorado. I was just in iowa yesterday. It is hard to imagine either party able to have control of the Senate Without winning both the iowa and Colorado Senate races. Let me tell you something, both of them, onepoint races, tamron. Chuck todd on the road. Thank you so much. And this morning on meet the press, chuck will have six new senate groupolls for you and ho republicans would govern if they get the majority.

One woman has decided to gain 50 pounds to prove a point about losing weight. Nbcs Kelly Cobiella is in london with more. Hey, kelly. Reporter good morning, hoda. If you google the word diet you come up with 46 million results but this woman, Katie Hopkins, says you can cut it down to four words. Move more, eat less. Christian bale did it for american hustle, Renee Zellweger did it twice. Piling on the pounds for a movie role is one thing. Katie, how much are you eating . British reality star Katie Hopkins put on 50 pounds to prove a point. All of my life, youre lucky to be skinny. What i wanted to prove was that there are no excuses for being overweight. Kim kardashian. Reporter she has made a career out of speaking her mind. She is one large bottom. Reporter but the woman known as britains biggest loud mouth put her foot in it when she declared i dont believe you can be fat and happy. I think thats just a cop out. Reporter twitter lit up, people calling her ignorant, insulting and flat out wrong. So she started eating, everything how many calories did you eat a day . 6,500 calories a day, every day. Stuffed herself with burgers, fries, pasta, cupcakes, at times eating herself to tears. I didnt cry at my wedding but i cried over this. It was so disgusting. Reporter the next step in her experiment, katie will try to lose 50 pounds. She says she has already gained a different perspective. Ive learned a lot about how it feels to be big, how difficult it is to be big, how horrible it is to have fat sitting on the top of your thighs and how much more challenging it is just to do every day life when youre bigger. Reporter she has given herself three months and a drastic change in diet to prove being thin is as simple as eating less and moving more. Hopkins says she really is doing it to encourage people, to show them that its doable but shes already having a tough time of it. She has no dietician, no personal trainer and she still has 35 pounds to lose in two months, going into the holiday season, no less. Wow, thats going to be tough. Shes doing it the way most people do, no dietician and no trainer. Thank you very much. Over to hat. Hoda, thank you very much. When you were in school, did you have a hard time sitting still at your desk all day long . A school in North Carolina has come up with a clever way to deal with kids who get a little fidgety. Jenna wolfe has that story. Hi, jenna. Hey, matt. We all have energy. Kids have a lot of energy. To make them bottle it up and save it for recess or after school is not fair to them. At the same time you dont really want to distract from the teachers lesson plans. What do you do . How about swap out desks for stationary bikes for a class period. What do you get . Read and ride. First thing you need to do for most kids sitting still in class all day isnt exactly an easy assignment. Wandering minds lead to fidgety little bodies and all that fidgeting spells detention. Its important for kids to have fun while they read and have the movement that they need instead of being trapped at their desk four, five, six hours every day. Reporter scott eddle, guidance counselor, had an idea. Instead of fighting the restlessness, why not feed it . Middle row, get your read and ride books. Reporter replace desks with stationary bikes. The program is read and ride. Students spend around 30 minutes of the school day in a classroom that looks just like this. Its called action based learning, marrying the body and the mind. At a time when one in four Elementary Schools no longer provide recess to all their grades, curriculum like this is proving that movement matters. I see a lot of success. Reading is sometimes one of their most challenging subjects, but i think that their energy towards reading is really good. Reporter but its not just bikes. Schools around the country are offering balls, bands, anything that inspires education and expels energy. What does read and ride do for you . It helps me with my fluency. Reporter it helps to make you a better reader . Yes. Reporter participants who participate at least three times a week at the school achieved an 83 proficiency in reading. Those who surveyed, the response was overwhelming. In the classroom, you have to sit and dont have any energy to let out because you need it quiet so the teacher can teach. Reporter right. And here . And in here, you can pedal as fast as you can. Reporter do you like coming to this class . Yeah. Reporter what about your friends . They say that this class is awesome. Reporter a group of kids with a thirst for athletic nourishment and a hunger for great riding. Remember, these are donated bikes. No cost to the school. The curriculum to read and ride is online and can be downloaded and used in schools across the country. Its already happening. I was one of those kids who fidgeted all day long. Why do i feel like everyone in tv was one of those kids, right . Short attention span. One of my favorite stories of the day, a town who defines community and its all for one very brave little boy. Here is nbcs joe friar. Reporter across a tightknit neighborhood in utah, there is total disregard for the calendar. Thats good. That will be great. Reporter Christmas Lights in october and trickortreaters hitting the streets a week too early. For ethan van luven, the holidays couldnt wait. That superhero costume is disguising a villain battling him from within, leukemia that he has been battling all his life. The doctors said he has two days to a couple of weeks left to live. Thats when we decided to make the most of the days he had left. Reporter why this community celebrated halloween ten days ahead of schedule and why theyre now throwing a parade honoring ethans 5th birthday one month before the actual day. Ethan. Theyre saying your name. My hero. Ethan is having a blast. Its so much fun to watch his face light up. Whoa reporter its a week of holidays, which continues tonight with christmas eve, so everyone on the block is decorating their homes, sending ethans family a message. Just that we love them. That we have time for them. We want to be there for them. Reporter they realize for the van luvens time is the most Precious Resource on earth.

Coverage begins at 7 00 eastern with football night in america. Coming up, why does john lithgow call himself the male glenn close . He will try to explain that. Next, you want whiter whites and brighter brights . The secrets to taking charge of your laundry. Hoda is covering that one. First this is today on nbc. In 2001, doctor Manan Trivedi joined the marines. Ryan costello went into politics. Trivedi served as a battlefield surgeon in iraq. Costello served himself by voting to raise his own pay. And while trivedi cared for patients in pennsylvania, costello gave millions in government contracts to his Campaign Contributors even as he cut funding for child abuse prevention. In congress, only trivedi will do whats right for you. Im Manan Trivedi, and i approve this message. Back now, 8 41. Were wrapping up our special series take charge. This morning, the dreaded laundry. Tired of sorting and staring at that pile of dirty clothes and how to keep your whites white and your brights bright . Elizabeth mayhew is here. I didnt know there was a wrong way to load a washing machine. Apparently there is and a lot of us fall into that trap. Number one thing people do, they want to get the laundry done. They stuff it all in. Yes. You cant do that. Machines have a certain capacity. Okay. For large, front loading machines, its about 18 pounds. If you have a top loader, its about 12 to 15 pounds. Eyeball it for me. Most people dont weigh their clothe. How much should it be . Its about that a little bit less than that. You dont want to stuff it. You need water, the agitation so the water can take the dirt away and clean the clothes. You just need to leave room. Number one, you sort. Whites go with whites. Youre going to do your whites wash them separately. One note about washing machines. Theyre much smarter than they ever used to be. They know the temperature. When you put it in when it says wash on cold, for example, its about 70 degrees just so you know that. Older machines dont really heat up enough. If you have an older machine you probably want to wash your whites on a warm cycle. So after you sort, youre going to do your wash. Washing machine detergent, be careful of the one you buy. Dont use too much. I use a lot because i feel like it make it is cleaner. It actually leaves residue and is not good for your clothing. Lets talk stains. You should treat it right when it happens. Who does that . If you dont do that number one thing is wet it. If anything, just wet it with cold water. Take some spray. You can keep these in different parts of your house. Put one even in your bathroom near your laundry hamper so you can spray quickly. Then you actually want to treat it. Do not put it in the drier before take it out of the washing machine. See if theres a stain still. Street it again. Once you put it in the dryer, you cook it in. The dreaded yellow armpit stain is nasty. One stain in particular what do you do for it . Do not use bleach. It breaks down the foobers of your clothing. You just take crush up as principle, warm water. I say soak it overnight and salicylic acid will help. Lemon works, too . For whites. Soak them in lemon water and put them in the sun. Sun works the best. If you have jeans or anything, turn them inside out. Reason you dont wash them in hot water, its like washing your face. That opens the pores. If you open the pores of colors it lets the dye bleed out. Thats why you wash them in cold and turn things inside out. Quickly, wrinkles youre supposed to take things right out of the dryer so they dont wrinkle. When you are ironing things like pants, turn them inside out. That way you dont get that shiny oh, yeah. Finish. The other thing you can do is line underneath your pad, line it in foil. It actually acts as an insulation and is ironing both sides. Thank you, elizabeth. The best. All right. Coming up next, star of stage and screen, john lithgow is here. First this is today on nbc. Back now at 8 47. When it comes to john lithgow, what cant he do . Emmy winner, golden globes, oscar nominee. Where it all began on broadway, starring alongside flen close, good friend, in a play called the delicate balance. How many shows, do you know . I do. Its in the 20s. 26. I was reading last night that the first time you appeared on broadway in the changing, i hope im not wrong here, you won a tony. Thats right. First time . Three weeks after my broadway debut. I would have quit. That would have been it. How do you ever top it . I should have. At this stage of the game, having done so many shows i know every show is different. But is the process the same as youre in rehearsals and previews and things like that . Well, no. Its always different, which is one of the exciting things about it. I mean, a delicate balance follows on the heels of king lear, which i did this past summer in the park. What could be more different than that . In terms of your body snapping back into the routine of eight shows a week and is that something that you just never forget . Well, it becomes familiar. Its like moving back into a broadway theater and start the routines again. I feel like a kid again. I sort of come back to new york to do theater just for the feeling of deja vu. Theres great camaraderie when youre on stage with a Certain Group of people. You and glenn close starred in garp in the 80s. Yes. Youve become good friends. Yes. Did you try to Work Together between then and now . She gets to call the shots. You said im the male glenn close and shes the female john lithgow. What did you mean by that . Im not sure shes complimented by that. She liked it. Ready, willing, able to do practically anything. And i just i sort of identify with glenns career in many ways. She talked about learning the dialogue for this show. She was here a couple of weeks ago and she said its very difficult. Yeah. That its complicated. Its dense dialogue. There were times she wanted to fall on her knees and roll on the ground. You can identify with that . I think everybody doing dialogue has that experience. Its very staccato, unpredictable and this came off shakespeare, very orderly language. Its been an enormous challenge. Once you get it, its electric, because its just as unpredictable for the audience. Theres a rhythm to it. Have you had Horror Stories im not jinxing you. Have you had Horror Stories on stage where a line just goes blank . Yes. What do you do . You just wait for the ground to open up under you and fall, disappear forever. It doesnt happen.

Id tried laxatives before. He prescribed Amitiza Lubiprostone for my chronic constipation. It works differently than laxatives. Man amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. Dont take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage or severe diarrhea. Tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath.

A full hour of news in 30 minutes.  have a great friday. Were back with more of today on this try day friday. If your kitchen feels outdated or your living room could use some sprucing up, all it takes it simple changes to transform your home. We asked you to send photos of rooms in your house that could use a little help. Libby langdon has worked her magic. Welcome. We love these kinds of things. Thank you. It gives people hope. There is a lot you can do with a little bit of money. Shirley sent us a picture of her kitchen. She said basically her kitchen needs an update. Taking a peek at that, what did you think . I love the fact that shirley sent a picture of her kitchen at night. Thats when were in our kitchens the most. And the biggest thing is it is lacking light. And there was a lot of storage that we knew we could add. So when you see the area that is sort of between the top of the cabinetry and the ceiling, there are actually regular standard cabinets that you can buy, called a bridge cabinet, and it literally bridges the gap between the ceiling and the top of your cabinet. You can use that for tchotchkes. Absolutely. There is a bridge cabinet with glass and light in there. But also look at the lighting under the cabinets. And those are actually just simple little l. E. D. Things you can buy and stick on there. Made a big difference. Makes a huge difference. Different colored little stools, right . Yes, different colored stools. And if you look at the cabinetry, there is a simple selfadhesive sea grass, like a wall pap, ypaper you can cut, l, and you can tack it on there and when you want to take it down, you can. It doesnt hurt the wood . No, it is absolutely fine. Lets move on to marion from woodstock, georgia, a photo of her living room. She wanted it zhuszhed up here. She thought it was a little boring. It was easy to kind of spice up this space. Shes got that great sofa, but it sort of blind together with the wall color, the rug, all of that. It was important to create some separation. She also has a lot of Little Goodies on the top of her top of the cocktail table, smooth that out a little bit. What did you do . What we would do is do an accent wall that is just behind the sofa to lighten and brighten. And then an area rug on top of the existing rug to create a little contrast. Also, just different pillow covers to go behind her existing covers so youre lightening it up. Sometimes people keep the exact pillow that comes with it. A lot of work. The drape makes a big deal and a little ottoman down in front. And the lighting. Yes, yes. And adding the lamp in the corner helps bring a little more of a focus point. I would have put plants in there too to warm it up. Plants are good. A living thing in a room is good. Renee from illinois sent this photo of her bathroom. She wanted her bathroom fixed up. That looks like a lot of peoples bathrooms. It does. The key is to take sometimes what you already have and rework it. So what i would do is i would paint the bottom of that vanity. I like her floor, i think the floor is great. But i would paint the vanity. And also that window is sort of feeling peculiar and see that mirror. So many people have those mirrors that are attached to the wall with the little clear plastic pins. Yeah. Exactly. And so there you can literally frame the mirror, you already have, and put it in black. And the floor. Thats the same floor. But look how different it looks. What did you do .

Instead of going out, why not host a party in your own home. Here is leslie bracco, author of wine for women, one of our personal heroes. I tasted several thousand bottles of wine every year, so ill give you pro tips and tricks to have a fun party. The first is, pick a theme. If you have your friends over for happy hour, pick a theme. All the wines are under 20. You can say whites from all over the world, reds, whatever. Get some music going. Make sure you have food. Some music. Cheese platter everybody loves. Ive done three different cheeses. Goes with whatever you want on the table. This is your pits. Olive pits. If you want to spit the wine. Weird. Here is a couple of pro tricks we used. Want you to taste each of these. Thats yours and thats yours, okay. Im sorry. This is your set this , this your set. Taste boath of the wines and tel me if you like one better than the other. You like the one on your left . That is decanted for over two hours. Pour it in a pitcher to air it out. Anything. Just the red. They all taste better with a little bit of air. Right, okay. 20 for that. And four bottles of wine. Then the other pro tip, we cleanse our pallet. You can use crackers or cheese but the pros use olives, mild olives, roast beef when we taste a lot of red wine. Youre looking at me like im learning all this, this is good. And if youre judging i judge 100 wines a day, if you judge them, they say, darling, you need a cleansing ale. That cleanses your pallet. Sure does. All right. Now well play some games. Let the games begin, all right . So i always think it is more fun to learn about wine when you have some games going on. I have the wine words game. This is about describing wine. I want you to taste these wines. Those are kathies, those are hodas, you have tags. Earthy, elegant, the other is smooth, spicy. I want you to taste and, again, it is not that one is the right answer or the wrong, just that it is we have to use words to describe wine. We just have a minute left. We got this beautiful you got it right, kathie, hoda got it right too. Now i have two beautiful chardonnays. This you have to guess the country. I have the gorgeous laroche chardonnay from france, which has no oats and crisp and fruity. And the guess which one. Stick a cork in the map. Wine number one from california or france . I say california. Get it in there. Okay. Kath, what do you say . No idea. I need some more ale. I have no idea. I like the second one better. You like the second one. This is the french chardonnay. This is the laroche. Im gagging on here is your cork. All right. The beautiful laroche chardonnay and now what do you do with the empty bottles . Ready, ladies . And go. Nobody wins that game.
