This is actual video. But were going to take a live shot of the panda cam. That is live, somebody said. No, it cant be because its nighttime in china. Somebody is lying. Well, maybe theres some moonlight. Okay. Anyway, you can actually watch these pandas so far its riveting. But its fun. Lets see the panda do something. He sits. He eats. And they sleep. Oh, my gosh. Lets get a closeup of the panda, please. The guy is operating it 24 hours a day. He just tilts it. He moves it around. So you can watch this. We also have some broll that we cut. Of a panda actually doing something i hope, hody. In their habitat, there are 28 webcams. Now were talking. Its called ipanda. Com. There are 80 pandas there. You can watch them, you know, all day if you want. Youre sitting at work. Youre bored. Click onto this. Ipanda. Com. Its guaranteed to put you in a good mood. Im waiting. You dont feel good . Sorry. Okay. All right. Everybody wants their my bad. Its a sorry button and since we are constantly saying things that need apologizing for, we have that right here. Yes. So if you live in new jersey and you know who you are. You know who you are. You are so lucky. There are two people in new jersey who hit the winning Powerball Lottery numbers. The other winner was from minnesota. Right. Two winners from jersey. Yes. Your chances of winning were only 1 in 175 million. But two people from jersey won. Theyve scrawled past what they would all share, if you can go back to the number, please. Ive got it. They will split 448 million. But what does it come down to . We dont know. Because they have to do taxes and things. A lot of money. Cant you just divide it, like 1 3 of is then you have to give a lot to taxes. They want to see exactly how much each person would be getting. So we dont know how much each person is going to be getting. Okay, hoda. I thought it was a simple question. You divide it by three and thats what the people get after taxes. Its not that easy. Nothing in life i feel like we need wine today, dont you . Have a sip. Come on. Sorry id like to take a brief moment. Could i be more sorry . Okay. Beyonce, you guys, apparently has sported a new haircut. Now, we dont know if its a wig, but people are saying it really looks like her hair. That doesnt look like you could stuff all that hair in a wig that looks like that. She has a pixie cut. She put it on instagram last night. Its short. If you guys remember, she was at the concert and her hair got tangled up in the fan. Yeah. She was singing and it got sucked in and she kept singing. Like hey, im singing and ooh. She had a weave before, right . But a weave is in there. God bless her for still singing. Thats a pro. One time i had my hair, ive had some crazy hair days. I had crazy frizzy hair. And i remember my mom took me to this very fancy salon when i was a kid. And the guy said oh, your hair is all damaged. And it wasnt damaged. Thats what it is. The guy thought it would be a great idea if he cut it off. I had the shortest, most ridiculous frizzy haircut because my hair grows out like that. Wow. It was not a good look. I had it for a long time. It was a bad, bad look. So what do you think . You think shes just trying to get rid of the a lot of times it can damage your hair. The weaves and stuff . Yes. My mother used to always, god love her, before the School Pictures were taken, always shed give me a haircut and shed she would bangs theyd be here. And they would not be straight. Or else theyd be super straight. It was like one or the other. Every picture of me as a little kid you looked yeah. Did you hate it . I told her not to drink before she cuts my hair. She knows im teasing her. All right. Well, theres another trend that seems to be happening. Beyonce sported them first. Theyre grills. You know, the grills this i do not understand. Someone explain this to me. Its metal stuff in your mouth. Yeah. Beyonce posted bangs, bang grills. Vampire grills. And they had diamonds on them. So they were very stylish. Yesterday rihanna said i can do one better than that. So she posted two ak47s well, maybe just one. The top grill you can see. And she has a tattoo of the same thing on the side of her body. I just dont find that attractive at all. Not at all. Whatsoever. No, its not. Its rank. Nobody likes that. Have you ever kissed somebody wearing braces . Braces . No. No, i didnt. I havent. Did you .

Sure, as long as theres something in it for the fans besides bragging rights. That was really genius. What you said. My answer is if your fans have the cash and want to pitch in, why not .

No no two lucky ladies parked themselves on the plaza just waiting to get ambushed. Were going to reveal it. And after these messages. All right. Ever wonder who does all those voiceovers for movie trailers you see at the theaters . Have you ever noticed it rarely belongs to a woman . Well, actress lake bell wants to change all that with her new film in a world. It is a very funny and poignant look at one womans attempt to break into the voiceover world dominated by men. Lake bell, she wrote it, directed it, and she stars in it. Sheers here with us. And she won the screenwriting award at sundance. Stop it. Congratulations. Did you go to Usc Film School or something . Are you very smart . I feel like i owe all of my knowledge about film just being an actor, being in the trenches for 11 or 12 years, just instead of going to your trailer and saying weve got an hour to set up this shot, stay on set. Sponge up all your information. Its exposure. You know . But its a world we dont know very well. We have done them. Yes, yes, of course. You have fine voices. Speaking voices. Thank you so much for that. Your character in the film is very funny because you are constantly you are a sponge looking for accents. Youre constantly with your tape recorder and youre rolling you did that in real life. Yeah. In real life i am very im attracted to real voices and sounds and dialects and accents. It was more like a dinner party trick when i was younger. My parents would be like come on, lake, go do funny voices. Will you do something for us . Its particularly pervasive in todays world. Its an american dialect i call the sexy baby vocal virus which likens itself to kind of the i just want to say you guys look really cute right now. And that kind of up talking and the because you know, as women i think its nice to take on your own real voice. Use that diaphragm. Not necessarily lower it to something thats false but just to be yourself. Yeah. But thats sort of thats a learned voice. That highpitched sort of its a dialect, like an accent or something. Yeah. Im glad that my Little Sisters dont speak that way. Im glad that i didnt have to sort of what kind of family did you grow up in . Lake bell. If thats your real name. Lets get into some therapy, you guys. You seem like a happy person. Thats unusual. Thank you. You know, writers are they live like morbid lives and theyre alone and stroking their cat. So to speak. Yeah. I have a dog. An old, big fat pitbull who is 14 years old. I think she keeps me sane. Yeah. Tell us about you starred in this, directed it. You wrote it. What was the most difficult part for you . Which of those three jobs . I always say the most difficult part of writing, directing, and starring in something is writing, directing, and starring in something. And getting the money for it. Yes. Well, its the amalgamation of all of those. Its just comfortable shoes is the key. You need to have a good sneaker with an insole that you can run around in. Did you hire a lot of your friends and such . I did. Actually. Rob corddry, michaela watkins. Eva longoria is in it. She makes an appearance. Nick offerman. Kate nataro. Dimitri martin. When i heard the concept i thought kind of interesting. When you watch it, you totally get sucked in. Theres something about first of all, thats good writing. It all starts with the writing.

Yeah yeah how was it . What i love about it was what you guys were doing visually. We were into it. Oh, yeah. Thats whats so cool about doing voiceovers, that you can gesticulate or do whatever you want to get the sound that you want. But its a whole other world and theres a lot of money to be made in it. It is. But its a little boys club. Isnt it . It is sometimes. Certainly the movie trailer voiceover industry. You always think of an omniscient voice being a man. You know, the voice of god. Its not traditionally a woman. We wish you great luck with this. You are adorable. Thank you. Thanks for coming in, lake bell. Thanks for having me. Anytime. Its almost hoda womans birthday.
