These parts that he decided to step down . On a scale of 110, it was a 10. We were shocked. And here we are, so much momentous work to be done in rome over these next few weeks as the cardinals gather in a conclave to choose a successor to the pope. Well check back with you. Moret of people are very, very upset, because people need to work from home. Because they have other obligations, and there was a time when nobody worked from home unless you were a farmer. And then you worked at your farm. So a lot of people dont remember that that was the norm. That was very much the norm. And this is a new phenomenon going on in the workplace. And its making it so a lot of people who have families and things like that can balance and work together. Yes. Its caused a big stir. And your thoughts on the stir . Well, i have mixed emotions on this. Because, you know how i feel about trying to be fair to every to everybody involved. Shes worked very long and very hard and shes to become a ceo. She is one of only 20 women in the country that are women ceos. So i think for all of us as women should be grateful that some of them have gotten through that ceiling and are actually working as ceos. She makes an awful lot of money. She has won 117 million over the next five years. So big salary. But heres the point. She didnt start out as a ceo. She started out like everybody else, you know, working her way up. So she as now a ceo i dont think we would be having this discussion at all if she werent a woman. Because what was it, jack welch, what did he used to do at General Electric . He used to cut his mandate was he would cut the bottom 10 because he said the bottom 10 werent as productive so number one, they didnt really fit in the company right and said they would be happier elsewhere becausthey should be doing better than they are. Yeah. So i think she has the right as a ceo to run her company the way she thinks its best run, because she is beholden to the shareholders. Its a public company. So i respect that. The stock, when she started was 16. 64 a share. Today its up 33 . To 21 a share. So if youre a shareholder, you say, i like what shes doing with our company. If you happen to be somebody thats gotten used to having that time at home, you dont like it. I can see it from everybodys perspective. But the truth is, she has the right to make that choice. To benefit her company. I think if youre i think the whole thing is, you should employees work the best when theyre happy. Okay . And some people are, you know you feel like someone trusts you. If you feel like, look, im not a good work from home person. Im not good at it, ill admit it, im on the phone, and i watch soaps. Other people work. Days of our lives. Mom, are you watching marlena, i get into it. Others are good at working from home. It shows a trust. Heres the thing. If the productivity is down because people are working from home and there is an issue there. But if there are people who are very productive in their house and dont have to commute, which takes an hour sometimes back and forth two hours when you could be working. All good, good points. There are a lot of good reasons. And i think to make a blanket Statement Like now were no longer having that policy and dont you think other companies will look at that going maybe that works. She has got to be Vince Lombardi and say this is my football field, my team. There are reports that there was a lot of slacking off at yahoo a lot of waste, a lot and she is trying to get her ship in shape. Im not saying its a choice i would make. I think i would have liked to have gone to everybody and said, listen, you guys, weve got a big problem with slacking off. Im going to give you guys an opportunity. This is what our tammy would do. Of course tamsville. We want to point out tammy is the head of our show, female head of our show. People were writing in yesterday, and this is going off point for a second. Because another guy who works here named davy was telling us to wrap the show up. Dave doesnt run the show. Dave is a guy who points at us. And tells us okay . Tammy runs the show, and dave sleeps through it. He points really, really well. Hes told by somebody in our control booth, you know its time to go. Weve got to wrap. Hes usually napping. So our female ceo right here, tammy, runs our ship. But i do think and she runs it extremely well, and she as a working mom says a day i get to work at home means a great deal to me much. I know it does. But steve birk, who is our ceo here at comcast, could say yes or no to the fact that she could do that. Thats why youre a ceo. But you take the blame when things go wrong and you take a lot of money when things go well. If seems to me if somebody is productive at home, why shouldnt they work at home . If theyre productive . Its up to the ceo to decide. How does she know what everybody is doing . Maybe she does. How do we know what she knows . I know what she knows. So thats what i like to say i know. I do know one thing, people work really, really hard and twoincome families and its getting harder and harder to make ends meet. And i feel for everybody. But, you know, we live in a world where theres a certain system in place. And its it may not seem fair to people. But she put in the hours or else she really slept her way up to the top. I dont know. Even that way, honey, you pay. You know what im saying . The thing about an internet company, part of what was so magical about those companies are, you could work from different places. People talked about that. Thats what made Internet Companies so cool and hip and neat. You could take your laptop, you could go outside, go in your home. But this world is evolving. You and i cant do our job from home. No, but im talking about her people and her job. That was part of the appeal of the internet. And they were losing in the marketplace. Their company was going into the toilet. She had to do something. I just wonder if that was the thing to do. Im just saying. And i know a lot of other people who work from home, from other companies are nervous that if my company does that, im scared. Well because if my child has a sniffly nose and cant get into daycare, i dont want to call a babysitter and try to figure out how to work it all out. I feel for everybody. I like yelling. Just getting louder and louder. You know the thing about feminism . Feminism started out about choice. We said we want the same choices men have. We want it, we want equality in the workplace. And Everybody Loves feminism until somebody makes a choice thats different from the one you would make. Well im not saying her choice is right, hoda. Im saying she has the right to make it. She is the head of that, and she is answerable to that board of directors and all of her shareholders. And her employees. And her employees. But they have the choice to leave if they would like to get a different no, they dont. You can leave a job. This is not a gulag. You can leave a job, but where are you going . There is a terrible economy. You have to stay. You have no choice. Trapped, trapped. Nowhere to go. Like we are. Just like we are. Trapped. Im not trapped, baby. Maybe you feel that way. But i dont feel trapped. I feel grateful to have a job. I do too. Grateful to make a living. Grateful to be with me . Grateful im not trapped. Okay. You know whos not trapped by facial hair anymore . And please dont email like i dont care about people. It is not about that at all. It is not about that. I do. And i wish things were perfect for everybody. Theyre not. And im just trying to be fair. I know you are. But lets talk about something trivial that doesnt matter. Okay. Ben afflecks beard. As the country goes into the toilet, sure. This is very important, though. Because do you think he looked fetching with his beard . Did you like it . I really like ben affleck, i think hes incredibly talented, not my type and im sure Jennifer Garner is going to be so thrilled to know im not a threat. But i like him without the beard best. Me too. I do too. This is what the are different levels. Thats the full beard from argo, thats the scruffy look in the middle and the other is clean. We actually did a klg hoda. Com poll. Because we thought it was important. Thats what we poll on. We didnt poll on the other thing. We polled on this. Apparently most people like him cleanshaven. Yes. And everybody made a big thing about sorry. Phlegm. George clooney ahhh gross. Fry the fish no, that George Clooney stop waving to us. No, no, were just going to say no. George clooney has got a beard for a role that hes about to play. And we want to say, if you watch top chef youre familiar with quickfire wines. By turlotto vineyards. Its the name of one of the challenges of the show and we are drinking it to celebrate their finale tonight. Tonight . Ive got this is not the chardonnay. We both have the pinot noir. Firgs first time all nine past top chef winners are duking it out. Theyre duking it out, our boss and the guy who points at us. Tammy, ceo, what do you want us to do . Go to break . Not the new kid on the block. Donnie wahlberg who is a ceo is here. But first these messages. What did i do with my last fii was a dietician. A housekeeper. A pediatrician.

Donnie wahlberg skyrocketed to fame in the 1980s as part of the boy band new kids on the block. When the band broke up, he turned his talents to acting. Now hes touring with bluebloods and he is back on tour with the guys in the band. And executive producer and creator of a brandnew sers for tnt called bostons finest. Late 80s we skyrocketed to fame. Oh, really. Google it. Okay. So you get over yourself, boy band wonder. So now mr. Executive producer, this is ceo, hoda. Quite a few things. How does it feel to be running the show on this . Its fun. Its such a huge endeavor to do Something Like this. First of all, to shoot Police Officers at work. It takes a great team, and im not the only executive producer. There are other people, and we have a great, great team involved. But you cant be there all the time. No. Youre busy. No, people always ask, do you do ridealongs. What am i going to do, pull up on a crime scene, guys with guns, theres Donnie Wahlberg, get him. I love how you were under pressure because you wanted to do this reality show, you wanted to do something that really sort of was the essence of where you grew up in boston. You were under pressure to do some really creepy things about boston. Well, yeah. You know you go around to tv networks and they all want, you know, the trashy, you know ex wives of south boston. And this and that. So i really didnt want to do that. I wanted to do something great. Im very proud of my city. I also am working on a great cop show in new york. I kind of owe boston one, as well. And you have respect for the law enforcement. Absolutely. You tell us about the runin that changed i played so many cops, first of all in my career that ive gotten to work with cops who teach me and are technical advisers. And we learn as actors, we want to play the emotion of the moment and this and that. But when you play a cop, its really important to get in touch with what really matters, which is to do their job to the best of their abilities, make sure they dont let their brothers and sisters on the force down. And to get home safe to their families. Going into boston, i knew that was what was most important to these officers and anything we did that compromised that would be a problem. Whether on screen or off. In terms of cameras being in their way and jeopardizing their safety. And what we show as a product in the end. I want these officers are from the neighborhoods i grew up in, risk their lives everyday. And i want to do them proud. Were they quick to go along with this . This is one of those things youre not sure if you should go with it. If something bad goes down, its on tape. Absolutely. They were its interesting. Because some officers were quick to go with it. But they didnt quite know what that meant. And slowly i think it was really a thing about trust. I think the city, the powers that be in the city let me and my team produce this show because they trusted, im a local boy. Ill do right by the city. They are. And the officers we had to earn their trust. You know, riding along with them at first, the first few weeks, they didnt say much. And the funny thing, i kept getting emails, me and my fellow executive producers getting emails here in new york saying there is no crime happening. There is no crime. No one is getting robbed. Were not getting anything great. And i was like, well, the mayor is going to be happy, but tnt is not going to be happy. We should point out youre going to sing again. You guys are getting together. A bunch of boy bands together, yeah . Yeah. Is that strange to go from such a different world right back into the old with the choreography . Come on. I love it. I have worked since i was 14 years old. I became the Founding Member of new kids on the block when i was 14, which is i dont even know what decade that was in. Memory but i worked my whole life to be doing the things im doing, but now they come to fruition at the same time. As a dad. You earned it. And i want to take advantage of it while its here. You know, things are good. And this is, you know i feel like this is what ive always wanted to have happen. We believe you give my love to tom selleck. The greatest. All right. Bostons finest premiers tonight on tnt. And get ready to laugh. Is this you . Go, go. My slacks are tight today. Hop on, hoda. This is amazing, how did you find us .

She saw that gentleman in myrtle beach riding it down the road. He is taking it to his mom who needs a front gate. Youre giving him the benefit of the doubt and i like that. The next is from vicki from kentucky. Im suddenly not so hungry. There might be something at b3 thats probably not edible. Is that maybe it is. Is that a condom . I dont think they come in edible. Oh, yeah, they do. [ laughter ] flavored, maybe. But no. Next we have a photo from ally from carlsbad, california. Oh, my god. Wait a minute. Im no expert, but im pretty sure thats not how its supposed to be used. She comforts herself by getting in the bottom, so the mom put her in there and she fell asleep and it worked. She liked it down there. And there is another baby in the top, right . Yeah, another baby up there, but i feel like the middle one is having middle child syndrome. I can relate. Doesnt get attention, and going to the bottom when youre that little, your body bends. When is the last time you fit in one of those . Hey, watch it. Kim warner from mt.
