Yesterday we did this whole segment about how you want a dog and youre so excited, and you feel you could handle a dog. So then i go home and im taking down my tree, christmas tree. Which is so dry. People should take their trees down and let go because theyre dangerous. They really are dangerous. Right. So anyway, im taking it down, and i smell something awful, and my poor little doggy jasper had vomited all over the rug, okay . All over. And then proceeded to have problems throughout the house. What does that have to do with the tree . Nothing. Except i went to dr. Kay, who is our vet. He is unbelievable. But i digress. I went to dr. K. I was so worried. He was trembling. And the doctor said did you take your tree down by any chance . I said yeah, how funny that you ask that. He said if the dog drank any of the water, that could make him quite ill. So i dont know if thats what it was, but my point in all of this was when you get a dog you are really getting a baby. And you have to prepare yourself for the fact that animals have accidents. You cant control it. Its not on your time frame. Its when theyre ready. You cant just leave it for somebody else. Why do you think i wouldnt be good at this . Because heres the thing. Look what ive seen you in the dressing room. Its disgusting. Okay. You dont pick up. Okay. I already have a dog walker. This is before i have the dog. That way, see what i mean, when i come to work during the day, someone can walk the dog. You dont want to walk the dog. I do. When im out. And i noticed when i was going to starbucks right by my apartment theres a vet right there. Well, thats good. Okay. So im ready. All right. I just hope youre prepared for all the things that can happen in your home. If you have really nice things i dont. Forget about it. I dont. I want you to get a dog. Speaking of dogs, there was a little bit of a controversy yesterday during our show, okay . I was holding a dog that was kind of like a kangaroo. Its legs were really long. Oh, my gosh. It was long. Anyway, so while the we were doing the segment, the dog got a little out of control. Crazy. And then it ran away from me, and there are a couple of places that said i cursed, which i dont think i ever do on the air. I think they thought you said the sword, right . The sword. Lets watch and see what really happened. This is called heeling. Sorry. Did you catch her . I probably did. [ slow motion ] well, that doesnt help when they slow it down. I didnt say what did you say . Come on. I think i said shes shes shiz, like sheeeez. Gawker and perez hilton, both of whom think there was some cursing going on why do they care . I dont know why they would care. If they really want to hear cursing, they can just go to your dressing room. Theres another side of meredith that only we know. I am a little bit bad that way. Youre right. But its nice. I had an accident on the air once. Not an accident. I swore on the air once. You did . Lets take a look back. Meredith. Oh, geez. You shouldnt be oh, [ bleep ]. Okay. Im just going to clarify something in that last segment we did that i was behind the wheel. I thought i saw a shift in front of me. It wasnt a shift. It was actually a vehicle. That is some of the finest driving ive done in months. No, you said i said chip. You said chip. Thats what i said. Exactly. Theres some video out there that is causing some controversy. We saw it in the makeup room earlier, and its one of those things that makes you cringe a little. This is a woman from south dakota. Her 8yearold son, right . Its christmas time. Yeah. Shes running a video of him. And he has gone on ebay, right . Just kind of looking around. Thinks that he pressed the buy button for a mustang. A real mustang. And he its heartbreaking actually to watch it. Hes crying. Hes saying im so bad or lets watch the tape. This is while his his mom taped it while he was crying. Why did you buy that 50,000 car on ebay . I didnt. You did. I did. Oh. Can we cancel it . It wont cancel it. You hit buy. [ crying ] is that true . Did i . Im afraid so. I am horrible. Youre not horrible, baby. You made a mistake. [ crying ] oh, no. What kind of car was it . It was a mustang. I didnt mean to buy it. I was just looking, and he said when i tried to exit out i hit buy. I didnt mean to. Im like oh no, oh no, so i turned the ipad off. Hey, bub. You didnt buy it. [ laughing ] you didnt buy it. Oh. Thats very upsetting to look at. The mom and the son were actually on earlier in the morning. Yeah. She was asked do you have any regrets, and she said my regret is i took the video vertically because thats where she got criticism. I think its weird to first of all, that kind of stuff as being funny, i dont get it. I dont get she said she wanted her kid to learn how to take a joke. Right. And develop a good sense of humor. Then when he was asked how did you feel when she told you that it was a joke he said that was okay, right . And its not okay. Because this video like a lot of these, they live forever and ever and ever. I can even just think of today like this kids classmates are saying its already on youtube, and its gotten a gazillion hits. She thought it was funny. I think its one of those things that youre watching her embarrass him. I was totally turned off. Right. I mean, i dont know their family dynamics. But when you look from the outside at it, you just see a kid thats heartbroken. He thinks theyre going to have to sell everything. And the guilt that he felt. Were against it. Yeah. Okay. So meredith vieira, we asked people to tweet you yesterday. Okay . Meredith has a twitter account, which we found out. Why does that sound disgusting when you say it . To tweet you. Such a connotation you are a total sicky, okay . These are the tweets that you have done over the last your last one was 607 days ago. Okay . I have never, ever yes, you did. I was with you when you tweeted. Dont you remember when you were learning . Yeah, but i never i dont think i actually put you did. Okay. I did. Here. You wrote this one. Two of them. Now that im tweeting, that twit lauer cant be far behind. That sounds like me. And then you wrote this one. Its cold outside, but im one hot mama. I did not write that. Apparently you did. Oh. 600 and how many days . I cant see. I dont know. I cant see. 667. Or 87. Lets do a tweet, should we . Okay. Were going to tweet your first tweet.

Now, the thing is you got since yesterday right. An additional not 1,000 twitter followers. Not an additional 2,000, but an additional 3,000. Why would how do you get followers if you are saying you dont tweet . I dont theyre following theyre following you. Theyre waiting patiently for you. Well see. All right. I get to do this ihoda playlist every thursday. Go ahead. This is a good one. I think youre going to like it. Its old school. You may know it. Wait, wait, wait. I know all about this music, okay .

Its where bambino is front and center. This is in key west where kath is, and this is one of her favorite hangouts where she says people do clogging and they drink a lot. Clogging . Really . Yeah. I thought that was North Carolina clogging. Yeah, i like it. All right. Does she ever do this, or its always you that has the music . Its always me. What happened there . Can we do mine still . Sure. I guess. Youll like this one. Lets do it. No . We dont have it . What . That was it. Oh, no. How do i write that . You cant. Is it okay or not okay . We do this thing every week. Lets see. The question is is it okay to leave your underwear at your home . You mean not wear underwear . Yes, not wear underwear. Okay. What do i say . I mean it literally. I say no, its not why do you have this prop . No, its not okay. Why, oh why, would you ever go without your undies . Well, if you are wearing a super clingy dress and you dont want panty lines, i kind of get it. Apparently, youve done that. But other than that, keep you why undies on, please. Kathie lee says ask the people who regret doing so, and theres your answer. Have you ever done that . Seriously. Be honest. Be honest. Just be honest because who cares . No. No. Ive worn spanx without underwear, but i always wear spanx because im very selfconscious. Really . Yeah. I always wear spanx. Even if theyre hanging out. I dont even care. Id rather have them hanging out than not have them on. Do you ever go without yours, your underwear . Not the way these women do where they get out of cars with their legs wide open. I do not do that. But why would you ever go without your because when i was a kid, i took tap dancing, and so i always wore a leotard, and so sometimes ill have a leotard thats covering up. Okay. But you wouldnt ever just go free . No. Okay. No. No. Mmhmm. No, i would never do that. All right. Its time for webtastic. Were going to turn to our girl sara. Hey, girl. Hey. We have another fun one to make you laugh. Theres Nothing Better than these cute little babies. Okay. Go ahead. Lets run it, and then well talk. [ laughing ] [ vacuum noise ] its okay. Its okay. The vacuum scares the little baby. Theyve seen the reaction earlier, and they wanted to see if it was the vacuum, so they turned it on again. To scare the kid again . Its good parenting. Today the theme is good parenting. Cruel. This is a cruel program. All right. Coming up, he kept it off, and well talk to our friend al roker. Look at him reading to children. And talk about amazing transformations. Two women get ambushed on the plaza for head to toe makeovers. But first these messages. Ound o. Then i read a book while teaching myself how to play guitar; ran ten miles while knitting myself a sweater; jumped out of a plane. Finally, i became a ping pong master while recording my debut album.

Wait. Just go ahead and put it on gawker immediately. Okay . Im so sorry. Stay where you are. [ bleep ]. I dropped all my cards. Were a little late with the beep. A lot of people are vowing to lose weight and get a little inspiration. Youre going to get going. Our good friend al roker is here. He spent a lifetime battling his weight. At his heaviest at his heaviest al weighed 340 pounds. Today he is more than 100 pounds lighter in his new memoir never gone back al talks about breaking the yoyo dieting cycle for good. Hello, al. How good is it to have meredith back, al . So good. Meredith has done this. Theres a cleanse. What is it . This is almond milk, strawberries, protein powder. I usually put a little almonds in it as well. Mmhmm. You want to put that down . Yes, ill put that down. Okay. Al . Yes. By the way, this book is riveting. For those of us whove known you for a long timish its funny how revealing it was even to us. Were you at all uncomfortable with revealing that part of you . You know, i wrote it, and i worked with a terrific cowriter, a woman laura morton. But you know, i didnt think it was that big a deal, and then i started hearing from people and they say its brutally honest. I thought, oh, wait a minute. Maybe i shouldnt have put this in here. So why did you . Because it is brutally honest. Some of your stories are whenever i go out to speak or im at functions where people keep wanting what did you do . How did you do this . What did do you . I say maybe i should write it down. So thats what i decided to do. Well, your dad was such a major player for many, many years, and on his death bed he asked you he said to you, al, you know, i want you to lose the weight. Thats a lot to carry around. Yeah. You know what, it was one of these things where i did it. You know, he made me promise, and he made me swear to god that i would do it, and i did. He was gone about a week and a half later. You kind of forget about that stuff, and then the new year started, and i started really thinking about and we found out we were pregnant with our second child, nicki, and i thought, you know, i have to do this. I had been thinking about bypass earlier. Kind of had gone back and forth and i finally said, im not going to do this. Im just tired of this. Im tired of doing this dance. So i decided to go ahead. I met with this fantastic surgeon dr. Marina cureon and got it done. You said you have to do it. Anybody who is dealing with weight issues, you have to do it for yourself. Yeah. We know were fat. Youre telling us, oh, youve got to lose weight. We know we do. Thats the way it works. But until you in a sense its like any alcoholic or anybody who abuses drugs. Until youre ready to do this, no program, no 12step program, nothing is going to work for you until youre ready to say, you know what, i think enough of myself that im going to take the step to do it. Well, the pain that you carried around from when you were a kid is something i think a lot of overweight people can identify with. But when the comic strip fat albert or the cartoon came out, that was something that really cut to the quick. Oh, my gosh. Im a sophomore in high school in new york city, and lets see, hes black, hes fat, hes funny, and his first name is albert. Well, check, check, check. And it was horrible. I mean, that first day the morning after going into school and hearing everybody go hey, hey, hey. And you joke about it and you yeah. And youre dying inside. And you said you were an insecure kid and very shy inside. Im still very shy. You hide that well. Well i would never think that of you. Like my mentor, willard scott, hes afraid of speaking in public. Instead hes one of the most famous weather people ever. You know, and you find ways to mask that pain, and for me it was food. You know, youve had issues with weight and then youve lost weight and regained weight. The name of the book is never going back. How do you know that . What are you doing now that convinces you . I think look, i had the bypass. I lost almost 140 pounds. And then about 4 1 2 years ago my mom got sick. And i was driving back and forth to north shore long island jewish, exit 34 on the l. I. E. And i fell back into the same old habits. The trigger, the pain, the fear of losing my mother. And after she passed i thought, you know, i cannot do this again. I put 40 pounds back on. It just so happened a dear friend of ours, john harris, had lost weight doing this cleanse with a nutritionist, melissa bowmanlee out in chicago. I thought, you know what . Im doing this. And your assistant brook has done this. Yeah. And i thought, you know what . I met with her. And it was great. It changed my life. Because whether you do this cleanse or a juice cleanse or whatever you do, that but the exercise, as you know, is so important. I found melissa does this slow exercise. A little less. Youre not sweating. You do it in a cold gym. But i found it changed my physique. It changed how i felt about exercise. I still hate working out. All that stuff is great. Al, this book is a terrific read. Its fun to read. There are recipes in the back. Theres a lot of takeaway, and i think its inspiring, and were so happy for you. So happy for you. Good luck with this. Its so good. Im glad i got to do this with you. I missed kathie lee. Of course youre the gift that keeps giving. Hello gawker. Yesterday when you said obviously you havent had any work done. I have feelings too, you know . Whatever. You were fantastic.

Shes famous for speaking her mind and serving up sass on bravos hit reality show the real housewives of atlanta. But nene leakes has been pulling double duty lately. Shes got that role on the new normal where she plays rocky, a fierce assistant whos not too different from the real nene, as weve noticed. Hey. How are you . Good morning. How are you . Youre a busy bee, i have to say. I am. You got your fame from the real housewives of atlanta. And you quickly took it and ran with it. And not everyone can do that, can they . Not everyone can do that. Thats very true. Ive been very lucky. Ive been very blessed. I think when you get an opportunity or platform such as the real housewives of atlanta you have to use it to your advantage. And i was able to do that, and now im on a Primetime Television show. Yes, you are. Are you loving that . I do. I love ryan murphy. Hes fantastic. He is the creator of glee, American Horror story. And now the new normal. I love it. Quite different than reality. Its a whole hour. Lots of hours. You earn the money. Yes, you do. In the new normal theres a scene in one of the ones i think it was the pardon me scene with the turkeys and all that where you and youre actually playing your mothers role, your fathers role, and your role. That must have been such a trip. So much fun to play all three roles. I couldnt wait to do that. Look at this. Look, i got a new job. I love that strawberry lemonade. That menu is huge. Thank god for those pitchers. I am the new assistant to mr. Brian talon. Daddy, my dreams are coming true. Dreams dont pay no bills. Neither do you, you dummy. You wont make it out there. This is so fun to watch you. It must have been fun to do. I was so excited when i got the script for me to play the characters. I called up a few friends whove done that same thing before like tyler. And i was excited. Tyler perry. I was excited to do that. Youre also on the cover, right . Of ebony magazine, money and power. Look at you. Pretty big stuff. Some people were not happy with that. Why do you think that is . Well, i did some interviews, and i talked about i just my personal thoughts are i felt like i got a lot of flak from my own community, meaning the africanamerican community. I feel like we dont support each other the way that we should. I feel like i deserve to be on that cover more than anybody else. I am an africanamerican who crossed over to primetime, which is not easy to do, and its not a lot of africanamericans who are on a primetime scripted series, so that was huge. And i did so many other things. I have my own charity. I own restaurants. I did so many things that i felt that i deserved it. The editors over at ebony felt i deserved it. And thats why you see me on the cover. You say some things when people come up to you because i know not everyones kind. And you are known to speak your mind. Do you say what you think . I do. Most of the time i try to keep it really real and say what i think. And sometimes im very direct, which can sometimes hurt people, but when i say direct, im just i dont feel like i have that tone, you know, that voice where its like really sweet. I feel like if you ask me and i just tell you very directly, and sometimes it can shock somebody who can i ask directly, are you back with greg . Whats going on . Greg and i are definitely back together. Okay. Did he propose to you . We heard a rumor he proposed to you on new years. No. Its not you tweeted about it. I tweeted about it on new years eve. And i love twitter, as a matter of fact. So please follow me on twitter, everybody. neneleakes. You need to follow me so you can hear me trash talk. No, im not trash talking. I talk about a lot of nice stuff. No, i think people can see on the real housewives of atlanta that greg and i are together, and i think people want to know if were going to go to the next level. Right. Thats what im asking. The answer is . Youll have to tune into the housewives. Thats not very direct. Thank you. Oh, man. Tuesday, 9 30, 8 30 central time. From normal to buck wild. Oh, no. Some people are calling it the new jersey shore right after this. Okay. Good morning to you. Im meteorologist chris warren with your Weather Channel forecast. For today looking across the country, the snow that we saw in southwest texas will be moving out, and the system will bring rain throughout parts of the gulf coast, the gulf coast of texas. Still a frontal system hanging around parts of Central Florida and disturbances rolling over the top. Will bring a chance for some showers where the mildest air is going to be to the south. Coldest air still to the north with readings in the 20s and 30s in many spots for daytime highs. On saturday another system, not much with it as far as moisture goes. Still a chance for some showers throughout parts of the gulf coast states. Still going to be cold in the northeast. And were looking at lake effect snow and possibly several inches of snow over the next few days, including saturday. The tug hill plateaus are right in here. And the coldest air still going to be here in northern new england, the northern plains, and were looking at some cool air throughout much of the west. Still a chance for some snow showers throughout the great lakes on sunday. Throughout parts of the southeast more clouds and some showers. Its going to be cold throughout the plains with temperatures topping out for highs only in the 30s. And then on monday you can see a front lining up right here. Thats going to help bring in a little cooler air on tuesday. But its still going to be lingering right around the canadian border. Minneapolis dropping just a few degrees. Were starting to see some warming conditions early on in the week. And you can see another area of low pressure setting up here throughout parts of the southeast and then in the southern plains, chance for some rain as things are turning mild. Temperatures getting into the upper 40s for louisville. And in chicago 41. Were going to watch out for the chance for some showers the beginning to the middle of next week. As the next system rolls in. Things are going to be pretty quiet, though, in the northeast, with highs in the lower to mid 40s. Another system moving into the pacific northwest. Remember weekdays on the Weather Channel starting at 5 30 in the morning you can wake up with al. I played a round of golf. Id in the last five hours .
