Good morning, everybody. Welcome to today on a tuesday morning. Im Savannah Guthrie and we have carson daly in for matt. I wish i sounded as good as adele did on her technical issues. There was something for everybody. Well talk politics, too. Our top story is the weather. A wintry mix of snow, ice and heavy rain battering the east coast. The same system, responsible for tornadoes, as well, in the south. Covered for us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Were waking up after the Winter Weather advisory in 17 states, stretching some 1 rksz,200 miles from georgia to maine. In a lot of spots, we expected the snow to turn to rain overnight. Rush hour is still dangerously icy in locations. All of it, part of the storm system that spawned tornadoes in the south and the east. Reporter the National Weather service confirming one of those tornadoes touching down near the rural town of century, florida, about 45 miles north of pensacola. At least ten homes were damaged. First responders and volunteers forming a human chain to pull a 94yearold woman from the debris. Hallelujah. Reporter strong storms blew through central louisiana, tearing up trees and power lines. High wind gusts causing the roof of this pizza hut collapse. It fell on my car. Busted. I seen it coming at me. It was scary. Reporter people across mississippi rocked by relentless twisters. Jackson, mississippi, tornado, i dont want to get too far ahead of it. Reporter the Severe Weather hitting a high school during classes. We were all getting down and, like, praying. Hoping we were being all right. Reporter meanwhile in the northeast, a plane headed from the Dominican Republic to new york city had to be diverted to a snowy manchester, new hampshire, overnight, because runways at jfk were even worse. Delta 944, a diversion . We did, left holding at kennedy and came right up here. Reporter here in the washington, d. C. Area, snow gave way to freezing rain and sleet. Virginia state Police Responding to more than 500 crashes, as untreated roads and sidewalks with temperatures hovering all the makings for a dangerous commute this morning. And weve seen that already here with really icy roads and sidewalks. While the temperatures are expected to climb throughout the day, with steady rain, the concern now is the ice, but the concern for tonights rush hour will be a flood watch. Lots of weather to talk about. Thank you. Mr. Roker is here tracking it all. Al . Minutes ago, we got this video from i81, north of scranton. Icy roads causing a massive pileup. You can see, in fact, a lot of the folks, including this videographer, ran up and got out of the way on the side of a hill. This trucker, stuck there, trying to make calls. Theyre clearing things out now, and im hearing i81 north of scranton is open again. Weve got a tornado watch down in southern florida right now. This is part of the trailing front that hallie was talking about. Look how far it goes, all the buffalo, looking at snow. We have winter storm warnings, advisories and wind warnings. 50 Million People at risk from North Carolina to maine. Look at the temperatures. Buffalo, 28. Syracuse, 34. New york city, 54. 56 in boston. Heavy rain pushes up by late this afternoon. Thats where were going to have the problems with flooding. It gets out of here by wednesday. Rainfall amounts, were looking in some areas, upwards of an inch to two inches. Itll make for flooding. Lakeeffect snow from erie to watertown. Another 8 to 12 inches of snow there. Weve got a lot going on. We have winter storm warnings. We have flood watchings and warnings. Its going to finally calm down by tomorrow. Al, thanks very much. Lets turn to politics. Of course, less than a week until South Carolinas republican primary. Donald trump ratcheting up the rhetoric against ted cruz, threatening to sue him. Former president george w. Bush who shared the stage with his brother jeb bush for the first time in the campaign. We begin with peter alexander, in South Carolina this morning. Good morning to you. Savannah, good morning to you. This was, by far, the biggest crowd jeb bush has seen. 3,000 people to hear from his brother, the former president , bush 43. George w. Bush calling for vision. In a direct contrast to donald trump, praising his brother as thoughtful, trustworthy and measured. Will any of it matter . Reporter donald trump in the lead. Weve got a win on saturday. Weve got a win. Reporter and on the attack. , reignited his feud with ted cruz. Ted is an unstable guy. Ive never, ever met a person that lies more than ted cruz. Reporter threatening to sue the canadianborn senator over his eligibility. He doesnt have the right to serve as president or run as president. I will bring the lawsuit if he doesnt apologize. Reporter cruz laughing it off, saying donald has lost it. We are not in grade school where you say, liar, liar, pants on fire and not respond to the subject. Reporter the front runner also went after the Republican National committee, accusing them of stacking debate audiences with special interests. Seeming once again to not rule out a thirdparty run, going against the gop pledge. I signed a pledge. But its a doubleedge pledge. As far as im concerned, theyre in default of their pledge. Thanks to brother for giving us something to do today, something important. Reporter the last republican to hold the oval office, george w. Bush, joined brother jeb on the campaign trail for the first time. The former president repeatedly dismissed the partys front runner without calling out donald trump by name. In my experience, the strongest person usually isnt the loudest one in the room. Strength is not empty rhetoric or bluster. We dont need someone in the oval office who mirrors and inflames our anger and frustration. We need someone who can fix the problems that cause our anger and frustration, and thats jeb bush. Reporter hours before trump attacked w. Over the iraq war and 9 11. The World Trade Center came down during his reign. It was like, you know, he was the top. Reporter jeb had his big brothers back. He didnt know 9 11 would happen but he rolled up his sleeves, inspired us and kept us safe. Our latest surveymonkey, nbc brks krrksbc online poll, shows 56 of republicans nationally believe donald trump will be their partys nominee. That number is up 14 points in the last week. Savannah . Peter alexander, thank you. Lets bring in chuck todd, good morning. The the road to the nomination goes through South Carolina. It has a reputation for being a slugfest and its not disappointing. What do you make of this latest back and forth between donald trump and ted cruz . Trump suggesting he might sue cruz. Even dangerling the notion of a thirdparty run, threatening the rnc. He is a little bit. I think what hes trying to do is keep cruz from getting any momentum. Look, in South Carolina, it appears to be a twoperson race. The winner between trump or cruz, assuming they are battling for first, then the winner will have won 2 of the first 3 and will be the front runner and favorite going forward. Thats why you see, basically, trump pulling out all the stops and cruz pulling out all the stops. The threat of the lawsuit, he does have some standing, trump. If he files against files with an election law clerk and says, hey, you shouldnt put cruzs name on the ballot, its hurting me, that is a way for him to have standing with a lawsuit. The South Carolina, theres two primaries. The second primary is the battle for third place between rubio and bush right now. Lets talk about this, chuck. We havent seen a lot of data or polling from South Carolina since the debate on saturday. Trump has the double digit lead. Cruz in second. All eyes, maybe, on third. Is that still where it stands now . I think its where it stands. Look, nobody is quite sure how much damage did trump do to himself with the attacks on george w. Bush. He is pretty popular in South Carolina. Theres chatter that he hurt himself. If he did by a few points, he still had a lead. I think that, you know, all of us are not making a living this year trying to predict the demise of donald trump. Chuck todd, thanks. Stick around for your take on the democrats in a moment. Speaking of, Hillary Clinton will deliver a major speech on race in new york city today. Bernie sanders heads to South Carolina and georgia. For now, all eyes are on the next caucus in nevada, and thats where we find chriskristinen welker welker. Our latest nbc news surveymonkey online poll shows clinton maintaining her National Lead over sanders, 50 to 40 . The race is tighter in states like nevada. She will be courting africanamerican voters today with the speech of race. It comes after a busy day of campaigning here in the reno area. I love being here. Reporter in nevada, Hillary Clinton is trying to avoid another upset. I want to break down all the barriers that stand in the way of americans succeeding. Reporter it was this moment that got everyones attention. And the dog, if its not true, hes going to bark. Reporter when she recalled a decadesold political ad that featured a dog that barked when someone lied, arguing the same rules should apply to republicans. Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation. Bastion bark, bark, you know . Stumped in ohio and bill clinton in florida. The Republican Party rewarded the tea party. Just tell people what they want to hear. Its going on now in our party. Reporter sanders brushed aside clintons criticisms. On monday, he ramped up his outreach to africanamericans, a group he struggled to work over. Its working people standing up and fighting. What is the Civil Rights Movement about . Reporter after meeting with the families impacted by the flint water crisis, sanders demanded change. If we can rebuild villages in iraq and afghanistan, we can damn well rebuild flint, michigan. Clintons address on race will take place in harlem. Senator sanders will be courting black voters today. Hell be introduced at a prayer who will also join him at a rally later tonight. Thanks. Chuck is still with us. Lets talk about the democrats. Nevadas caucus on saturday. Caucuses, harder to predict for pollster pollsters. When you look at the race and the body language, who looks confident and who looks nervous . The Clinton Campaign seems nervous and the Sanders Campaign seems confident at this point. This is clearly fairly close. Theyve both dumped a lot of money in here. This is actually though a mustwin for sanders. Heres why. There is this idea he cant win in states that are more diverse. Nevada is baseically 60 40 white to nonwhite, at least the way the democratic kau kis iscaucus is going to turn out. A narrow loss and the Clinton Campaign can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing South Carolina comes and theyre likely to roll there, too. A sanders victory puts more pressure on clinton. Then the questions are, oh, then the pressure on her to win South Carolina is as great as its been in any state so far. Chuck, do you see a shift in the way Hillary Clinton is framing this race, with more of a contrast, going right after sanders recently . If you listen to bill clinton and Chelsea Clinton and Hillary Clinton, theyre all trying to make this a referendum on sanders. They know if its a referendum on Hillary Clinton, she wont do as well with democratic voters. Put the focus on sanders. They think the more attention given to his ideas, his potential tax hikes, lack of Foreign Policy knowledge, suddenly, itll give pause to democratic voters and help her. Shes always been better when she gets to frame an alternative. Thats what theyre trying to do now. Chuck, to put meat on the bones of your first answer, when you say the Clinton Campaign is acting nervous, what do you mean by that . By the fact theyre spending so much time in nevada . They realize that its a you could make an argument that essentially, sanders won the first three contests. The iowa victory, every day that goes by, theres questions about how big was that victory and did she really win, or did she luck out because of the way the counting process is . Thats what i mean by that. Theyre very nervous. The idea of losing back to back. To lose the first state they faced off against each other that isnt an overly white state, thats what makes them so nervous. Thats why, if they can win now, they put away a lot of questions with her. Thanks so much. Now to the Nations Capital where the debate rages on over who should replace justice Antonin Scalia. Andrea mitchell has more on that looming battle. Good morning. Good morning. The battle to replace Antonin Scalia is reshaping that 2016 campaign. With the republican president ial candidates taking a hard line against confirming anyone that president obama nominates. No matter how moderate. On which all the republican candidates agree. No one nominated by barack obama should be considered for the salespeople court. The balance of the constitution is at stake. The republicans shouldnt allow it to happen. Were one justice away from a radical fivejustice, leftwing majority. Reporter for ted cruz, its personal. He clerked for the high court, argued before it and knew scalia well. Within hours of the justices death, the battle lines were drawn. Republican Senate Leaders saying they wont confirm any obama nominee to the high court. Democrats firing back. Its unprecedented. Its pure politics. The supreme court, of all places, should not be tied up in politics. Reporter the president in california hosting an asian summit, saying he is not backing down. Those responsibilities described in the constitution are ironclad. There are no caveats. The constitution doesnt include exceptions for election years or the president s last term in office. Weighing in, unleashing a flurry of tweets overnight, aimed at gop senators. Hillary tweeting, fill this vacancy. Potus will do his job. Do yours. The scalia succession fight now also a Campaign Issue for the democrats. Last time i looked, the constitution didnt have a parenthesis. Thats not the wieay our system works. The president has a working list, including several candidates who have been supported unanimously for lower courts by republicans. If the republicans wont even consider moderate choices, the president could fire up his own democratic base, nominating a minority. A lot of political strategy going into this decision. Andrea, thank you very much. In other news, pope francis returned to mexico city last thousands of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the pontiff in his white fiat.

Now to a new study that could be troubling news for the millions of americans who take heart burn medication. Research is suggesting the drugs might increase the risk of developing dementia. Zero heart burn. Reporter now in the spotlight, a popular class of heart burn medications, including prilosec, prevacid and nexium. Inhibitors or ppis are used by 15 million americans to treat gastrointestinal issues. Researchers in germany suggest overusing the drugs may increase dementia among the elderly. People 75 years and older regularly taking the medications had a 44 increased chance of dementia. There are patients who are kept on this indefinitely. What we may see is a trend more for use in the short term when necessary and stopping afterwards. Reporter in a statement to nbc news, two of the drug makers stood behind their products. Saying, Patient Safety is an important priority and we believe all of our medications are used effectively when taken dr. Azar is an nbc medical news contributor. Good morning. Good morning. This is disturbing because a lot of people take the over the counter medicines. I dont get the link. Why would heart burn medication potentially affect the mind and cause dementia . Right. So this is all, at this point, hypothetical, savannah. The idea here is something we would call biological flauzabilityflauz plausibility. How do you go from this medicine that affects your stomach to affecting your brain. Theoretically, they could affect the brain chemistry. From animal models, we know they could affect the abnormal protein levels found in alzheimers disease. The other thing i think is probably most important, in human data, we know that the medicines can cause b12 deficiency. B12 is definitely linked to dementia. To underscore, its not they saw a correlation between dementia and overusing these drugs, right . Absolutely, absolutely. Its very important to reiterate that. This nearly was an association. Certainly, does not prove causation. The study authors themselves would suggest that not only would they need to improve the methodology of the next study that would show Something Like this, to do something called a randomized trial, but this was a study that looked at linking diagnoses with use. It raises a good conversation, which is, you should ask yourself, do you need to be on these heart burn medications. Right. I think one thing that we always like to reiterate, especially as physicians are taking care of patients, is when youre going through a medication list and keep on refilling medications automatically without really understanding, is there an indication for continuing this medication long term. For some people, it might actually be the case. Are there alternative medicines . I understand there are people with significant heart burn, where Lifestyle Changes dont make a difference. Such as losing weight and not smoking and elevating the bed. Its something to keep in mind. Dr. Azar, thank you so much, as always. Coming up, youve heard of the clapper.

He said, look, its 80 your nutrition and 20 fitness. Yeah. Dont you feel like when you are really good on your workout regimen regiments, it allows you to open your menu selection . When i exercise more, i eat more, 100 . Trying to make up for it. You worked out so i deserve this. Then your deserve starts stacking up. Its a balance. I think it is. If youre just if losing diet is more important, say the experts. Great news for people waking up today. Its easier to focus on what you order rather than doubling down at the gym.

With one of the most raw and stunning landscapes on the planet, covered with glaciers, volcanoes and geothermal energy. The 300,000 that inhabit this small island nation today are, no doubt, a hardy crew. Despite the harsh conditions, the people here have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. At 83 years.

Reporter but the real clue to icelandic longevity may exist c this ceo is on the mission to collect dna from every person in iceland. Why do some people live longer in iceland . We live in unheated houses for 1,100 years and my guess is there was a selection for certain people. Its not the food, not the water, its not the clean air . Im not saying that we shouldnt lead a healthy lifestyle. We in iceland, we behave recklessly like any other nation. I think the reason we live a little bit longer is that we come from a relatively good genetic background. Im going home to watch television, drink beer and eat ice cream.

The strange part is, there is a memory to it, like youre here ive cried several times, being back here. It was overwhelming. Your childhood comes back all of a sudden. Hola we had a moment where we were all sitting on the couch in the living room doing our screen test. It was me, candice and candace and andrea. We looked at the screen on the couch and went, oh, my, were back on this couch, in this set, doing this again. Everybody is talking about the couch being smaller. Its smaller. We got bigger. We understand. We never left each other. Bob, jeff, the cast. This feels like, you know, weve been here. We never left. Everybody looks amazing. They all look the same. Even the couch looks good. The kids have grown up a bit. Well show you more of his exclusive visit with the cast do you ever clean your dishwasher or your Toothbrush Holder . Apparently, there are all kinds of things in your house we should be cleaning that are extremely germy. Elizabeth will tell us what to first, this is today on nbc. Were back at 8 36. Time to talk dirty, people. We all know to clean the sink, mop the floors and wipe the counters. Even the most conscientious of cleaners may overlook household items, allowing germs to spread. Today contributor elizabeth joins us to reveal the most common mistakes. Its about to get real. I learned a lot from reading about that. Theres three things we should wipe down that we never do. Doorknobs. You want to wipe down the refrigerator door handle. Think about all the times you and you always want to wipe down light switches. Another one, the toilet paper holder. Its near the toilet. Every time youre flushing everything is swimming around. Lets start in the kitchen. I never thought about cleaning the dishwasher. I thought it was cleaned every time you run the dishwasher. Anything that gets water running through it, you want to clean frequently. Water is a bacteria dish. Youre like, heat and water. Just because youre washing the dishes doesnt mean your dishwasher is actually cleaning. What you want to do is you want to take white vinegar. It is like the wonder cleaner. I say it all the time on this show. Put it in a cup, like a dishwasher safe cup. Put it in the top, close it, run it through a full hot cycle. Youre going to open it and take baking soda, spread it in the bottom. Sprinkle it in the bottom . Itll deodorize it. Run it through half a cycle. Open and let it air dry. You use that much baking soda, or sprinkle a little bit. No, a little bit. Similar tips for the coffeemaker. White vinegar, run it through. The calcium builds up. This cleans your machine. You can find all the tips on today. Com. Youd put the vinegar in where youd put the water. Run it through a cycle. You want to run it two times after that, as well. Lesson learned. Lets hobble over here. How about the bathroom . Number one thing you might be forgetting to clean is your Toothbrush Holder. Clean it every single week. Basically, you can take it out. Ill do it. You take it out, rinse it with water. Also, change your toothbrushes. Rinse it with hot water. Then pour some well, its easier to open. Looks like mouthwash. Pour that in and let it sit and rinse it out. Thatll also deodorize and desanitize it. Can i put that in the dishwasher . If youre in your bathroom and want to do it, everything is there. The laundry room. Now, your iron, you might notice, like i have a friend who said to me the other night, she turned it on and went to put the steam on and gross stuff came out. Or it can get brown. This one is clean. The way to clean that, this is the thing you have to do when you need to do it. Its not a regular maintenance thing. Take white vinegar and baking soda, again. You make a paste and rub it over the front of the machine. Then youre going to wipe it clean with another cloth. Then take cotton swabs with distilled water. Youre going to clean all the vents. Then youre going to take the distilled water, pour it into the thing, run it through a few times. Squirt it out or whatever . Do it for five minutes on the cloth. As needed, you have to do that . As needed. You dont necessarily have to run out and buy a new one. You can clean the one you have. Over here in the bedroom, you wash the sheets, due saywhat are reforget ingreforwe forgetting . Pillows. One thing you can get are pillow protecters. Its another layer. You should wash your pillows two to four times a year. This is not good for foam. You cant wash foam pillows but you can wash like a poly and a feather. If you grab the pillow, put them in the washing machine and wash them on the hottest cycle. Use a liquid detergent im elegant walking over here. Use liquid, not powder. Powder leaves a residue. Once washed in the hot cycle, put them in the dryer. Okay. You put it into the dryer and throw in tennis balls. Itll aerate them. It bounces around and keeps the pillows fluffy. Dry it about two hours. Make sure theyre really dry. Take them out periodically, fluff them up and put them back in. You have fresh, clean pillows. I love it. Make sure the tennis balls are clean, right . Yeah. We did a survey. How often do you wash your bed pillows . 60 said never. I feel better. Now, i hope its more. I hope so, too. I learned a lot in this. Thank you very much.

To see you fold up that biplane like a piece of paper. Watch the ground crew drag you out before it explodes into flames. Thats exciting. Jason sudeikis with us now. Good to see you. Nice to see you. One of the directors you worked with said you were a young jack lemmon. So great comedically and, dramatically, equally impressive. How hard is that transition . Doesnt feel hard going in. There are people who would make the argument i wasnt funny in the comedy. I think its a matter of the poster, right . Out as, you know, it does doing anything. For whatever reason, even trying to kill bosses, trying to smuggle drugs across the border, trying to make that as believable as possible. No different here, believe it or not. Were you thinking, ive done so much comedy, id like to try the dramatic role and flex those muscles . Not consciously, no. It shows up when it canshows up. The script, when i read it, i said, this is cool. This reminds me of something i would have my dad and i would have went to see when i was a kid. Like gene hackman and the hoosiers or something. Cool coach role, hold a hat and a stopwatch and support stephan james. Its like, i knew him when. Larry was his coach at ohio state. Famed track star himself. Yeah. What was his relationship like with jesse when they met . Because of the, you know the outrageous, sort of extroverted racism at the time. It was 1936. In the states, and worst situation going on in berlin, arguably. Yet, larry was this amazing guy who was ahead of his time, both in his innovations as a coach but also as a man who didnt race didnt concern him. Accidental nonracist. Jesse referred to him in an autobiography as an accidental nonracist. Color blind would be the common term for it now. Back then, he was like, no, i dont care. I dont care.

You were playing a little basketball over the weekend in toronto. You played the celebrity tournament. We lost to canada. But you were great. 11 points at halftime. I did all right for an old man who doesnt play much anymore. The older i get, the better i was, is the statement. Is it fun to be on the court though . It was fun. To have refs and mess around. Kevin hart did a nice job for us as our coach. Saturday was amazing. Saturday was the best. The dunk contest, the threepoint contest. You got to see that . I had front row seats that the 14yearold me would be going nuts over. Those were great when we were growing up, dominique and jordan. Then they were bad for a while. Then you saw that the dunk contest is amazing again. It was up there with the 88. Even the threepoint contest. Down between steph curry and klay thompson. The 88 in chicago was the alltime greatest. Two nights ago was one for the books. Have to ask, how is the little one . 22 months now, right . Yeah. Whats he doing . A lot of boom bops. Loves the drums. He loves hoops. Took him to a game, saw the you know, and beyonce. Its like elmo, nemo and beyonce, his three favorite things. Her fans start younger every year. They do. He may have come out of the womb that way. Obviously, liobviously, all the single ladies, one of his favorites. Yeah. We were talking about olivias series. Unbelievable. The juggling, the parent and the work, how are you dealing with that . Family helps. Both the families were born into and the ones we surround ourselves with. Everybody is excited to see him. Need that. Its great. Are you wishing you were on snl just for the Political Campaign . Its so rich. So much good stuff. Yeah, i mean, its fun to watch, as a fan. You start out as a fan. Growing up with it and now, i mean you could bring biden back. If biden brought his own were you hoping hed get in there and run . For no other reason than, as an american, to have more time with him in television and interviews. Selfishly, yes, i met him over the summer and i was like, sir, you dont have to tell everybody else this is before he announced you can just tell me. Hands. Hey, you know, thats right, i do.

Im carolyn this morning on todays take, all the winners and the controversy at last nights Grammy Awards. Plus, you wont believe who is teaming up with joe manganiello. An exclusive first look. Well have you sweating in style with the latest fitness trend. All that and more coming up now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on this tuesday morning. February 16th, 2016. Kind of a weird winter day in new york city. Getting up into the mid 50s. Little drizzle. Hardy fans on the plaza. Im willie alongside al, natalie and tamron. I like the morning jam, al. Work. Featuring drake. Why isnt it just rheeianhanna and drake . Its her album. She was supposed to perform at the grammys but she had a respiratory infection. I was bummed lauryn hill didnt perform. She was supposed to perform with the weekend and shes saying it wasnt confirmed. It wasnt agreed upon. The grammys disagree with this. Shes had a turbulent career. Shes brilliant, but it was a bummer last night. Last night, taylor swift was the big winner. Her latest single out of the woods, and won album of the year for 1989, becoming the first woman to women that that category twice. Her acceptance speech, one aimed directly, if not mentioned by name, at kanye west, has everyone talking. I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you dont let those people side track you, someday when you get where youre going, youre look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Friendly reminder, kanye west recently said he should get credit for taylor swifts fame. He made her career, as he the song is called famous. I love it, maybe she was talking about something else. He has not responded to this. The last tweet said, im in a positive space. I hope he is and remains that way. He needs help at the university level. He does. May be more serious. On a serious note, like we kind of chuckle him off, but he has friends who are saying now publicly that there is a Mental Health issue. Thats what his friends are quoted as saying. I think hes an extremely talented young man, but i think he has problems and needs to get them addressed. Bottom line, it was taylors night last night. Among others. She won it though. Good way to shut him up when it comes to that controversy, right . Savor the moment, nat . I love the tributes. Lionel richies tribute, had hello, is it me youre looking for for the grand finale, lionel performed all night long. Lets go see him. Everybody was dancing in the aisles. People were up out of their seats, as you saw. I was like that watching at home. Fantastic. When he was here, he let us do the whole conga line with him. Where would birthdays and weddings be without Lionel Richie . Hes the best. Any celebration in life. Lady gagas tribute to david bowie was so perfect. It was the technological marvel, how they created the space oddity. Her look was just like bowies. The orange hair to the makeup, how she dressed. It was phenomenal. Only she could do nine songs like that in 6 30 and be able to carry a tune throughout the whole thing. It was unbelievable. It was a nice tribute. I think you could make the argument that an amazing number of people passed away. I think there was a, i was disappointed they didnt do more for natalie cole. The segment ended with a clip of her and her dad singing unforgettable. But her twin sister or her sister told the New York Post before last nights ceremony, she didnt think it was enough. She said it was bittersweet. Family was hoping there would be an actual tribute. She had 21 grammy nominations and won 9 times. First africanamerican female to win best new artist. We reached out to the grammy producers for comment and didnt hear back yet. It was a lot of backlash. A lot of controversy about this, for sure. Any favorites, tamron . You know, the highlight for me was Kendrick Lamar. Music is supposed to not only be, i guess, the soundtrack of our lives, but its supposed to speak about society. He had a total of five grammys, including rap album. He was just the the medley was incredible. Hes a poet, an artist. We have a clip. Everything i know, every time they hit me i think it was salon. Com that said kendrick left the grammys in ashes. It plays into your favorite moment. There was a lot of concern that represented. Moment, it came up again. You had it in this, hip hop and broadway, right on the stage at the grammys. The musical hamilton, the run away, explosive hit on broadway. They performed live from their theater on stage in new york city. A beautiful performance that the world got to see what people coming to broadway have been seeing for the last year. Best musical theater album. Of course, rapped free style his acceptance speech. Right hand man, the hispanic, the best idea goes in the pot. The cast, unstoppable. Band is unbeatable. Inspiring me to pull through. We adore you. Sebastian, daddy is bringing home a grammy for you. Only he could do that and rhyme. The one problem with that last night is we werent there . Itll be ten years before you can see hamilton again. It was already hard enough. Stephen colbert made the joke, 2020, you might be able to see it. My kids havent seen the show but we have the album. They walk through the house singing all the songs. Its on at our house nonstop. Dad, were reliable with the ladies. I said, what . Who says that . He goes, hamilton and jefferson. I said, of course, a jefferson quote. I knew that, thank you very much. Great line to use as he gets older. What did i miss i came in the house doing that, and he went, dad, thats weak. Joe manganiello teaming up with a surprise costar. We have your first look. Cool. What can i get you . Milkshake. Flavor . Chocolate. Three, two, one. Thanks. Broken a rule . No. Ever have two women fight over you . Have i . No. I think i know why you and i met. You have a choice to make. Stick around here or live a little. Peewee herrmann, hes not aged a day. Amazing. How does he do that . I dont know. Peewees big holiday is going to be on netflix march 18th. Can you believe, hes back. I cant believe it. I love this.

Kilimanjaro was africas highest point, a tough climb for the most elite athletes. 41yearold sean has done it 12 times, bringing a message of hope for those who need it most. Reporter sean has been on top of the world. Hes climbed to the highest peak of every continent, completing the seven summits. But his toughest uphill battle wasnt a mountain. It was cancer. Twice. At age 13 and again at age 16. I remember sitting on the bottom of the shower floor while my friends were having fun with their lives. I was losing my hair, 60 pounds overweight, crying my eyeballs out. It was something no one should have had to go through. Reporter he was given two weeks to live. I think what kept me going is a quote that i came up with. Its, the human body can live roughly 30 days without food. The human condition can sustain itself for roughly three days without water. But no human alive can live more hope kept me going. Reporter sean defied the odds and survived. Thats when he started climbing. Although cancer left him with use of only one lung, he became the first cancer survivor to make it to the top of mt. Everest. And now, hes spreading hope with his foundation, the cancer climber association. We reach out to other people touched by cancer, show them the possibility of the human body and spirit. Reporter every year, sean grants a cancer survivor the opportunity to climb africas mt. Kilimanjaro. He helps them up every step of the way. Taking people up kilimanjaro, i see a transformation. They get to the top and come down, and theyre stronger and more confident. It gives them the tools to realize, if i can conquer that mountain, i can do anything. Reporter 39yearold Peter Campbell had hit rock bottom. I was getting ready to start my first treatment for my second bout with cancer. At that moment, i got a text message and it said, i hear youre going through a rough time. Reporter the message was from sean. I remember him saying one day, you make it through this, and ill take you up to climb mount kilt. Kilimanjaro with me. He taught me to look at my cancer as a mountain. My mountain being remission. Reporter sean kept his promise to peter. In july, with cancer behind them, they trekked, side by side, 19,000 feet, to the top of mt. Kilimanjaro. We got to make a phone call from the top. My wife kept my kids up. At 1 00 in the morning, i called home and told her, im standing at the top of the world. Something ill never forget. Thank you it made up for the two years i laid in the hospital. Surgeries, chemo, puking, not but it was worth it. Reporter sean keeps on climbing. Today, its a different mountain. The Empire State Building, for the annual Empire State Building run up. 86 floors, more than 1500 steps, all to give those fighting cancer one message. Hope. What an awesome story.
