>> i pick him up like a football and run down the hall and in the elevator. because you know, we have a long hall to get to the elevator. you go down 11 floors and then i let him out. i run him to the door and let him out. i thought he was finished, he came back in the lobby and did a poo-poo. i like to call it he left a special message in the lobby. i was like, oh, my god. i made eye contact with the nice maintenance guy who cleans in the morning. and i felt terrible and i scooped it up and i put it in a bag and tied it. >> that's all right. you did the right thing. >> i love this dog, kathie, he's the absolute best dog ever. i've got to tell you, in the beginning i wasn't sure if it was the right thing for me just because i thought oh, my god, how am i going to do it?

>> come on, somebody hire me, please. >> yes, you are. we should point out there were other dogs we had on the show. cinnamon lee got adopted very quickly. so did orla. that was one of the other dogs. >> i'm a little surprised by that. but happy. >> and bobbie sue. >> wow. bobbie sue was a real bow wow. >> not a real looker. but anyway. of the ten -- >> honey boo-boo got bobbie sue. >> of the ten that we started with there are only three left. >> i'm surprised. and they're all sweet. this was my second choice. >> nutmeg. >> nutmeg. a 10-week-old male shihtzu. >> did you say that right? >> i think so. he's a sweet puppy and he loves to cuddle and he sits quietly on your lap. >> he had little shoes on. >> and then -- >> he's precious. >> and then 10-week-old baker. a male dachshund terrier, he likes to be held. he may take a little time to come out of his shell. and you can translate into that whatever you want. >> and finally, 5-month-old scotland, a female poodle-terrier mix. she's energetic and full of life. which means she's energetic and full of life. >> young. >> so come on, you guys, let's make it a -- not a trifecta -- >> there's three left. >> a deca -- just 10 for 10. >> what?

>> apparently not. that costs more money. just be grateful for what you have in life, hoda, okay? >> there's no audio. he sat down with matt to talk about some various things in his life. let's take a listen to that. >> knowing that what i did was totally wrong, you know, and having to kind of deal with myself and forgive myself in the same breath. and you know, being able to apologize to, you know, rihanna and being able to be that man that can be a man. >> so you're together as a couple? >> yeah, everything's good. we're fine. >> a lot of people worried i think about her -- >> yeah. >> -- and the choice that's she was making and they thought this is going to end badly. how do you respond to that? >> well, you know, i think it's just me proving myself once again. and also just me being a man. and knowing that what i did was wrong and never doing it again. >> well i'm so happy to hear him say that. you can never get help until you realize -- until you accept the fact that -- accept responsibility for your actions and not blame it on other people. sounds like that's exactly what he needs to be doing. >> we'll see what happens. i think this is one of those things you're like show me, don't tell me. >> except he says that. he wants to prove it by the man he is. good for him. we wish them all the best. i hope he stays on this path. >> so if you guys were watching the ncaa tournament, there was a moment in the game that was so horrifying i think for people to see who were watching it. a guy named kevin ware, a sophomore on the louisville basketball team, jumped up to block a shot, fell -- went back down on his leg, and his leg broke. and these are just the reaction shots because the actual accident itself was so horrific. his leg was broken and in fact six inches of bone was sticking out. it was really, really bad. anyway, it was a horrible, horrible scene. and the coach was crying. >> everybody was crying. >> and it was a very, very close game at the time. but what's interesting was kevin was on the stretcher coming, you know coming out and he kept saying, "just win the game. just win the game." he kept repeating -- >> there were six minutes left in the game. >> yeah, six minutes left. anyway, they -- it turned out being a blowout after that. and they ended up -- >> they were inspired. >> yeah. they presented the trophy to kevin in the hospital. >> wow. >> and i think now there's a question about you know, what's going to happen with him and with his career and how severe the injury was. and you know -- >> we wish him all the best. wow. >> yeah. it was a very, very difficult time. so let's go to some good news, if we can. >> lindsay lohan? >> no, better! the baby giraffe. >> oh, the one that lives in my home town that i was hoping they would name bambina. the baby girl. >> this baby is huge already. >> she's so adorable. >> anyway, they did finally pick a name for this little baby. and they called the baby sandy hope. >> because newtown's close by to greenwich, and this little giraffe represents new birth and hope. so sandy hope. >> how sweet. we watch a little giraffe look, how the rest of them are hanging out. >> she lives right near our old house in that whole area back there. i want to wish my friend eva moore a happy birthday. we went to dinner with her on friday night. and regis and joy -- regis goes to anything you invite him to. you know what i'm saying. he's such good friends with all of us. we just had a great time. you know who was there, paul schaeffer and his wife. his wife kathy was celebrating her birthday. hi to her. she is so sweet. she never misses our show every morning. >> that's really sweet. >> and four -- i think they were chinese people. lovely, lovely chinese people were sitting, two couples, having dinner behind us. directly behind rege. now, very elegant, very, very well-mannered people. regis had to apologize to them i think five times -- >> because you guys were out of control? >> out of control. >> this is buzzing, my favorite thing is buzzing. >> we can't get to it yet. it has to sit. >> it must be my mother. or steven spielberg who just saw me act and is -- wants to hire me for -- i know i can't play mrs. lincoln. i just missed that one. but i'm sure he's got something else down the pike. >> speaking of april fool's, all right. so here is -- these are some of the great april fool things that have happened around here. >> lately. >> lately. first of all, we should point out that twitter did an april fool's joke where they said they were going to start -- they were going to start charging for vowels. >> i thought they did. so i didn't care. >> ha, ha, ha. google added something called a nose search engine. usually it says news, blogs, et cetera. this one you're supposed to be able to click on it and smell -- >> like it went through the machine. >> through the computer. and they add april fool's to that too. and then youtube did something too. >> how about we show what our sara did. >> i think that's the most important thing. >> let's skip to the video. >> well, hoda mentioned that she doesn't get a joy from the april fool and is it's because it's the pranker that does, not the prankee. >> oh. >> and my first victim was you. >> oh. >> so after you left your dressing room we -- well, a capable crew filled your dressing room to the brim with balloons. >> that was not cool. so when you came back from the morning meeting you were in for quite a surprise. >> lord. >> are you kidding me? are you kidding me? >> get -- >> you are kidding me. >> you're fine. >> who's getting dressed in here? >> we moved your clothes to another room. >> hey, nice balloons here. >> so clearly -- >> you didn't let go with an expletive, which is what you normally do. >> she held it back. she was very quick on the go. but our next victim was savannah and the classic snake in the potato chip can. she was a little hesitant at first, but then she was rushing actually for a change, and i stopped her in the middle of the hallway. and she said-s there something in this? i'm like, no, silly. and she fell for it and it hit her in the face. she then threw the can at me. she was less than thrilled and she will never fall for that trick again. >> she will never trust you again. >> buh-bye. >> and next on my list was tamron hall. she was filling in for natalie last week. so there's nothing like a fake cockroach to put a little hop in your step. i hid one on our couch. so let's check out tamron's reaction to this little bad boy, which was sitting under her script, no less. she also looked scared of me when i approached her. and she told me that her attorney would be calling, and i'm still waiting by the phone. >> how about carson didn't even move a muscle. >> he was tweeting. >> carson, by the way, is the sweetest thing. we love him. >> and kathie lee, you were my final target. >> go. >> my weapon was a foul-tasting chocolate chip cookie that i might have put a little too much salt in. i gave some delicious versions to our producers and hoda. and i sold it to kathie. and i also mentioned that it was my grandmother's recipe. and i knew you'd tell me the truth. >> that is so good. >> she'll be so happy. >> do you like them? >> i love you. >> you don't like it? >> you left out one thing. >> what? >> she didn't put the sugar in it. it's delicious, i'm teasing. >> it's okay. i actually put a lot of salt in there. i'm trying to get into the early april fool's spirit. i knew that you would tell me the truth. >> you put salt in there. >> i put a lot of salt in there. >> see who you can trust always to tell the truth. >> i'm not going to ask hoda if i ever look fad. because she had a bad one too and she went mmmm and handed it to someone else. >> it's called being polite. there's the truth and there's polite, okay? >> well is it time for my favorite things? >> of course. what you got going on? >> love these. look at these adorable -- these are -- kay unger. and look. this is by phoebe couture, which is a division of kay unger. the glasses that are inside. matchie-poo. >> oh, my god. >> yes. this one you can fit your flip phone and your lipstick. look how cute these are. i love them. i don't know where they would pass by where i could say get them. it's cassie, my daughter, wait, wait, hi, cass, how are you?
