james harden, and the incredible cast of everything everywhere all at once, including my girl jamie lee curtis, when the sag award herself. that takes us off here tonight. and on that note i wish to wall a very good night. from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late with me. i ll see you at the end of tomorrow. d of tomorrow it s a really good to have you here we have a very interesting show for you tonight. if he had ever been to london, or if you re like, me and you basically spend every waking hour you are not working, eating, sleeping, or fishing watching british crime dramas set in london. which is what i do now because i am a middle aged childless lesbian. anyway. whether you ve been to london or you spent a lot of time in london in your mind. you might have noticed these blue blacks on the london landscape. the british government puts out these blue discs. these blue plaques on historic sites of all kinds. not just in london,
