What are you wearing . There. A suit and a red scarf. Theres tons of them. I loved them. Did you see that jacket . Im getting that for next year. Would you wear such a bold statement outfit . Because you always see so subdued, very manly. Thank you. Youre talking to a man who is wearing blue and red tights. Thats why i got the blue and red on right here, exactly. Thats true. I dont think i could kick that red paisley thing. Al could get away with it. I dont know about that. Look at you if im a little subdued this morning, its just because i didnt get home until about 12 30 this morning because i went down to Central Florida to the Kennedy Space center to interview buzz aldrin. Wow. Amazing, right . And what was kind of crazy, we were already on the books to do this for our Living Legends series, our seniors he is so cool. Can we just absorb the coolness. The bomber jacket, the beard, everything about buzz. And fit as a fiddle. South pole and i thought, okay, theres no way were going to be able to interview him. No, they called a week ago and said, no, no, buzz is good. Hell see you down there. That guy is amazing. Look at that. Look at that shot. Really cool. As a matter of fact, freezing cold. And what did he say about john glenn . That he was the epitome of what this country is all about. He said just a good, solid guy from the midwest, from ohio that really about the Space Program and everything thats good about this country. And he said he goes, look, hes a pretty good pilot even though he was a marine. It never stops. But they first met each other in 53 during the korean war. And then hook up again together in 1963 at nasa. So cool. What a legacy. That was a good day for you. Listen, i was actually out on one of the launch pads, which i had never been before. Youre standing there then with buzz aldrin. Who was inside one of those things that went up. And heres the interesting thing he said. I said what does it feel like, this 600 Million Pounds of thrust. He said you dont feel it. On those on the rocket they went up on, he said the only reason they know they were going up is they could see the instruments. Really . Thats really . Thats incredible. Because theyre back in those couches. Couches. Thats what he called them. I was at the final space and the vibration first of all, i started crying. I didnt expect it, i just started crying live on air because its majestic. But the vibration as far away as we were, its like i describe it it was like a spiritual experience meets just some kind of Kinetic Energy that i could not your soul vibrates. I never felt that way again. I took my son a couple of weeks ago for the launch of the gozar satellite. You can feel it. Its unbelievable. Thing with buzz . Its online now. We had the interview this morning for that part, but well have the fuller interview about his secret for longevity, that will be coming up in a couple of weeks. Hes just so cool. So while you were doing that. Yes. I was on msnbc yesterday hey. Its a party over there. And i was thinking about al roker because one of his favorite people was just a few blocks away. What was that like when you saw that video, the video of kanye west going into trump tower and meeting with the president elect. In full disclosure here, i got this video sent to me right before al was leaving the building yesterday. I ran up to him and said youve got to see this, al, guess whos at trump tower. Kanye west with new blond hair visiting the president elect. After the meeting he said i wanted to meet with trump today to discuss multicultural issues. Bullying, supporting teachers, the violence in chicago, kanye is from there. He ended it, though, with this, 2024. Why wouldnt he have gone with 2020. Because he thinks trump will have two terms. He actually got booed at a concert, he said he didnt vote but if he had, he would have voted with trump. His fans took issue with that. Now hes believing that trump will have two terms and hell perhaps come in. I do wish he had voted, though. 45 i think of the available electorate didnt vote and that surprises me. Especially not to get too political about this, but given the number of people who fought and died for the right to vote well, the president elect had not voted in a couple of general elections either, so the current so the bottom line is you should. You dont have to, but it is thats the thing, you dont have to, but you probably should. But in 2024 you could be maybe ill make an exception. Just kidding. That will provoke a lot of conversation. Yes, it will. Absolutely. The other thing theres so much conversation, people were calling me, i was getting on my emails about just the shock of the sudden death of alan thicke. I was at dinner and the hollywood reporter, my tweets went off and i saw it. He was just here with his wife. He was visiting us, talking about his reality show. Yeah, 69 years old. And in great shape, ay hockey with his son. Yeah. Thats amazing. I feel like everybody lost a dad, you know what i mean . He was like the dad to america. And for me growing up watching him for all those years, he just seems like the nicest guy. He is. He was just on this is us. In the commercial break, youve been on our show, some people will engage and talk and others kind of zone it. He was the exact same person in the commercial break talking to there was once he came on, we didnt even know the camera was we were back live because the conversation was just like he was amazing. He was one of those people, hes exactly what you wanted him to be when you met him. He exceeded your expectations. And, dean, you know when you play an Iconic Television character, people really think they know you and want you to be as nice as you are. Like i said, i feel like america lost a dad in a sense.

Walked into Waukesha State Bank yesterday and demanded money have a weapon. Only some sort of note. Police did not tell us what was on the note. And did not say how much money she made off with. They are still looking for her this Mark Wahlberg has been a hollywood fixture for so long he even made a tv show based on his life, you may have seen it, a little show called entourage. Its not only an oscar and nominated producer, but hes taking on a deeply personal emotional project.

You see what happened in cairo on sunday and its just happening all over the d. Promote the message that love will be victorious and we have to come together and be there for one another. So obviously it was a very difficult story to tell, but i have such pride being from boston and seeing how my city responded in the face of this tragedy. Theres so many facets to this story that is so emotional, and youve got to feel a real deep responsibility for telling it correctly. Absolutely. Was involved with the movie because they could then put a face and they could come to me directly and hold me accountable. I wanted to make sure that everybody also involved with the project both in front of and behind the camera was held to that same standard. Its my hometown, and the amount of pride that i felt and the way they responded, it redefined the term hero for me. Growingup in boston and having so m so many people running to helping, its really inspiring. I watched the film and it has that feeling like it happened so recently. I remember watching it unfold on television, and what i felt then. Watching the film brought all that right back because i felt like i was watching it unfold again. Did you guys mix some real footage in with theres a lot of real footage, especially if you look at the two brothers, the tsarnaev brothers, the actors that we cast have an uncanny resemblance. Into whole foods or the bank or the gas station and of course all the closed circuit tv footage and boylston street, we were able to use a lot of that footage. I know tonight youre going to watch it with some 3,000 people. In boston. In boston. I cannot imagine the reaction theyre going to have. Its going to be very emotional, but i think, you know, i was deeply concerned when i first went to boston, my first public appearance after announing the movie was out at the celtics game with my wife and my they butt me on the jumbotron and they started chanting boston strong. Everybody was chanting boston strong. I got out and got on the roof of the car. I think its going to be extremely emotional but extremely triumphant. People came together and stood up and held hands and i think theyll do that tonight. Were so proud of you. I just have a little housekeeping before we let you go. Wahlburgers coming to times square .

For eight years she had us in stitches on the hit nbc comedy will grace, a role which earned her two emmy wins. And she keeps the laughs coming in the new movie why him playing barb, a mom whos trying to embrace her daughters new boyfriend. The guy is not making it easy. Hi ya handsome. Oh, you look great. Oh, come on. No, you do. Thank you. Spirit. Right . He ate it. Wow. Good morning good morning. Thats a great line. That was hysterical. You kind of improvised that. I improvised that line, yeah. On . There was a lot. The script was great. John hamburg and ian wrote the script but they let us do a lot of improv. I think they had 240 hours of film that they cut down to 90 minutes. Thats incredible. What a cast, though. Cranston is unbelievable. Franco is hysterical. Ill be honest, i started watching the movie, i was like wheres megan. I realized you had already been on and i didnt realize it was you which is the greatest testament to an actor. You did such a great job. Its such a funny movie. I think that movie has at least half a dozen really big laughs, like big laughs in addition to all the nuanced i think youre selling it short. Many more than that, yes. I dont want to give anything away but there was a scene where you were in the bedroom with mr. Cranston that i had to watch it over and over again. You had to watch it . I was laughing hysterically. Some of the things you did were original script, and so we were having rehearsals and some meetings to talk about everything before we started shooting and i said, hey, it would be great if there was a scene where me and bryan where were very, very conservative and im sort of starting to come out of my shell a little bit and im getting a little frisky and hes like, oh, my gosh, barb, whats come over you . And then they added this extra element to the scene which i wont reveal which allows me to so it turned into a really fun scene. What can you reveal about this mini will grace that popped up last month and is this leading us to a longer reunion . Well, we did a will grace election video that was like nine minutes long and it got a lot of hits on youtube. And its still up there, if you guys want to see it. We had so much fun doing it. We kept it top secret. So ever since then we had such a good time doing it, theres been back. And so i think, you know, we all really love each other and its the whole team, the whole everybody, the director, the whole thing. And so if we could do it, it would be fun. But at this point theres nothing official. Nbc. Love to see it happen. Nbc. All right. Megan, thank you so much. Thank you. Why him hitting theaters december 23rd. S it is, it is.

Reporter a few months ago they could never dream waking up in their own home. The family had been bouncing from motels to relatives homes to shelters. But now the familys enjoying life in this furnished townhouse. Its not perfect but this transitional home has gotten them closer to the light they had before things fell apart.

I started working at target as a cart attendant, from there got another job, video distribution, worked about ten years. Family. The beach, disneyland, hiking. Everything you can think of.

From there we just the situation got very hard and we were staying from hotel to hotel. It was really hard. It was christmas was like really kids, i always was giving them everything and it was just a really sad christmas. We really havent had a christmas in two years. Christopher said this wasnt fair for us. He asked for, his Christmas Gift was to get a house. Yeah. Im sorry. Reporter after two years of shelters, motels and even living pregnant, they moved their family from california to phoenix and stayed with extended family and then a local shelter. A few months later things finally started looking up. I got a call, a phone call today before i actually gave birth from the Salvation Army. We have a list that comes out daily that shows all the families that are homeless in the valley and i found their name there and i called them, and she was ready to come in to a shelter. Basically we had all our basic needs, like clothes. They provided us with a crib and actually pretty good. Reporter but with just a twin bed, crib and sofas it was clear the family needed more. We sent the family for a reunion with their case worker back at the shelter.
