Were so glad you are here. By the way there is a really big storm coming for people looking at the northeast or manhattan and boston. Its coming to manhattan and the area later. When al roker starts shaking over a weather system, like physically violently shaking you know its going to be bad. How were the holidays . They were great. Im so happy to be back here with you. Last time i was here, there was a royal baby and i was doing shots on the air and trying to sabotage my future career here at the network. And a few days after that, they hired me on the today show. This real estate has been very kind to me and my family. Im double fisted. My new years resolution was to drink more. Youve come to the right place. This is carsons plastic drink. And you gave these as christmas presents. I dont know what the bloody mary thing is. I just enjoy building a drink. Its nothing really special in the ingredients. I use a little sweet pickle juice. Its horseradish and a ton of vodka is really the key. Its really strong. Its not a hangover this is when i woke up yesterday i had one of these and i am like, i am going to have a hangover, but it aint going to be today. Ive been doing that the last 15 years. Just punting. But pedialyte if you are at home and you are hung over, its for kids who have diarrhea. Im not kidding. Its electrolytes. Its pedialyte. Go to rite aid and buy some. The last few days i bought that drink and not for that reason, for another reason. Not for the diarrhea reason. No. For the hangover reason . You arent feeling well . Dont touch me then. No, i went on vacation. Im better now. Are you sure you arent sick. I have like 18 jobs on this network. If you get me ill im doing nightly for brian tonight. Theres a snowstorm coming in. Im on the Weather Board tomorrow. Easy. You know when you go on vacation can we get some purell, some wipes over here. When you go on vacation and your body just decompresses. Im so happy to be on vacation and literally all of a sudden, it comes and gets you. And i had to get on a flight which is the most terrifying thing when you arent feeling well. And i did it with a friend who im dating and thats another terrifying thing. Flying with a friend you are dating. When you dont feel well because you dont have all the experiences. You are going to a hotel. Its the two of you in a room thats as big as this and its a little uncomfortable. You have to use the rest room in the lobby. I know the tricks. Ive been there. Ive been there. How are you feeling . I feel much better. How is it going with this date . I want to hear more about that. How was the vacation . It was fun, yeah. And i did the rose parade with al. I was watching you and al yesterday. And i just kept tweeting you guys because you kept pushing the twitter thing. Just tweet us, tweet us. All you kept saying is coming up next the voice float. So i had my kids in the hotel room after doing the ball drop. We were waiting and waiting and waiting to see the big voice float. I said when . Enough already. Bring it out. Thats what we thought. It finally came and was a little slow going and we thought it was going to sing. Its live. You are like, are they singing, not singing . Waiting for tessanne to sing. The other contestants were on, jacquie and will. Im a guy who has never done anything but live tv. Radio dj. Thats a tough job. You and al were fantastic. Great to watch. Everything is a great parade. We watched as a family. My kids loved it. Its a really wonderful tradition. You guys did such a great job. This is what al and i did to prep for the parade. You should have been looking at pictures of al sweeney because neither of you know. Thats that nelly song. You know that song . They used a theme song you know it . Of course i know it. Whats the name of the song. I forgot the name of it. Country grammar. No, its not. Its by nelly. It will come to you. All right. Whats your new years resolution. Clearly it has nothing to do with that. What is it . What are you doing . I have to stop traveling, stop flying. Im in airplanes all the time. The voice coming to an end. For me, its all about balance. Life is about balance. So i need to lose some weight, eat a little bit less. Im a consumer of life. And when i have friends in my life who are im easily persuaded. If im with a group of friends, they like to eat and drink and go out. Im on that train. Then i have some friends really into fitness and working out all day. Okay. I can do that, too. Like i im like a dog. And so the answer is in the middle. Im not going to ever give up having a cocktail or eating. Ive got go back and find that balance. Thats my new years resolution. Find that balance. Thats a good one. And slow down a little bit. Since the voice is on a little bit of a break, is it . Its never really on a break. Because you are taping and we just want to shoot all the time. In february we start shooting stuff with usher and shakira for season six. Its off and on. I was waiting for the first of the year. Since august and getting this job here at nbc in new york, its been so much back and forth and were figuring out where home is. So theres been a lot of big decisions. There is a study that does say if you want to make something a habit, whether its working out, cutting down on food or whatever, you have to do it for 66 days. If you can do it for that long is that according to the devil. Com . Why 66 days . That is the magic number. Thats what they say. There are other stories that say if you do it for 21 days if you can do something for three weeks, i did this once with sweets. Im crazy about them. I watch the show. I heard you talk about them. I tried to give them up for a couple of weeks. That wasnt enough . But then i lost the taste for it. Once you get back in, you are back in. But you stop craving it. 66 days. If you can make it to that milestone. So when you do your new years resolution and quit after a few weeks. Did you eat sweets again . I think it is. You were eating that tiramasu like a mad woman. The red velvet. Where is kathie lee . Shes still in florida enjoying some time off. Its actually Perfect Timing because to try to come back to new york during this storm is going to hit tonight is going to be a little bit of a pain. Kath will be back on monday. Prince william is a fun guy. We love seeing him who whatever who are you talking to. You talk so casually, its great. I thought you had friends in the studio. Is this on the air . Coming up guys, come on in here. So Prince William is in the selfies. So hes doing these selfies. A 12yearold girl was at church. Im used to this world when they are in front of the camera. In russia, a bomb has gone off and we will all there at sochi. He took a picture with a kid . A little girl wanted a picture. She wanted to take one. He said why dont we do a selfie. She posed with her. Shows his complete personality. This guy is hip, hes cool. Hes inviting. And its very the royal family wouldnt do that sort of a thing probably traditionally. So him being gracious like that is he seems different. All right. I get to play another song because today is my ihoda day. Its kind of mellow. Youll know it because you know everything. This one is by passenger. I love it. Let her go. Yeah. Are we going to hear it . The light is burning low only miss the sun when it starts to snow only know you love her when you let her go do you sing . No, but i wish i could. This makes me want to move to colorado, too. This was my pick of the week on my radio show earlier in the year. Passenger is the name of the group. Its actually only one group but hes got that beautiful, right . Beautiful song. Everyone is covering it. Didnt somebody from the voice cover it . Yeah. I dont remember who that was either. Okay or not okay. Okay or not okay to write your autobiography before turning 21. No, its not okay. Theres a thing i remember going to barnes noble one day at the music section and looking at autobiographies of artists. I came across a book this thick and it said the history of hansen. I am not kidding. Remember the boy group hansen . They are like 8 years old and they had written a book and it was thick. What Life Experience do these three kids have . Zero. Its like an encyclopedia of nothing. I think you have to have some Life Experience. Lets see what kathie lee and i had to say. Its your personal story up to this point but the truth is, at that stage of your life, while you are still making mistakes, you havent really lived long enough to learn from them, have you . No, that is excellent advice. My vote is it is not okay. I vote you wait at least until your brain fully develops. But sometimes it never does. Whatever. Why dont you guys do the show like that . Like the cartoon network. We love that. We did a little thing at the end of our christmas show, a little cartoon vignette. It was fun. What did you think . That is what i said. I wasnt looking. Wait until youre developed. So we want you to go on to our web page because theres a big button that says connect. We want to find out what kind of whats the best diet for you.

The eccentric ensemble stars Gillian Jacobs as a student at Greendale Community college and jim rash as dean pelton. Lets take a look. Whoever is watching this oh, wait. Im out of data minutes. The whole world will be watching this on the 1st of next month. Do something. Distract them. I already like it. You guys are great. So glad you are here.

We dont know if well see each other again. You dont want to let go. Christmas came a little early. You werent waiting until the very end, were you . We knew we were going to premiere in january, i think in the fall, which is always nice to know when you are on the air. Moms like to know that kind of stuff. For people who dont watch the show, do they need to binge watch all the shows prior to tonights season premiere or can they just jump in. It would be great if they wanted to binge watch, but whats great about this season its almost a repilot because joels character comes back as a teacher. So its sort of a nice introduction of all of the characters yet evolves them. Joels character becomes a teacher. How does this change the dynamic. Its going to change yours. I think its the deans wet dream that he has sort of got him power over him. So it was the deans idea. He pulls him in. It really does redefine the relationships for the whole cast. Well, yeah, because weve been at the school for four years. Then you have to decide, have they graduated . None of us are very good at school, so its reasonable that we havent graduated but all of our roles are shifting within the school this year. Youll see a different dynamic. The writing is so strong. You wrote an episode last year. What was it like. As you read tonights script when you read it, did you know right away . You knew right away. Everyone is back at the table. The team is back together. Not that we didnt have that feel bug you cant not have Community Without the nuance jokes. A great joke in the beginning of the episode in the school and the p. A. Announcement. It says Greendale Community college voted second best Community College by greendale. They voted themselves second. Not even is that the harmon touch . I think it is. I think its the harmon touch. I also think he has more ambition than any other tv writer ive ever worked with to try to do action episodes and animated episodes. Everything weve done on that show. Thats dans ideas. He knows the character better than anyone else. You feel like you are in safe hands. I didnt know the background of you and the amount of writing you do outside of your own show. Tell us about that. I came through the groundlings which is a theater in l. A. , and was writing for quite a while and my writing partner and i got involved got the job with the descendants a couple years ago. He won an oscar. We were waiting. But yes, thank you. That was for you to cue up. And you did a great job. But, yeah, its been a passion of mine to write. We wrote the way, way back a movie out this past summer. Its been a world that im as interested in as acting. And gillian, for you, a lot of people are just meeting you on community. You had a long career before this. Tell us what teed this up . Well, it was completely the opposite. It was really dark, depressing independent films. So i played a lot of lost women who perhaps found themselves working as exotic dancers or want to go back and watch this. Whats it called .

When you are helping out someone who is worse than you are, you feel better. Exactly right.

You have to do things that make you happy in that moment and also will make you happy into the future. So both of them, as often as you can but you have to start now.

Were you happy to survive the holidays without packing on the pounds . Well check in with these ladies who are trying to well see how they did. But first, this is today on nbc. All right. Were down to the final week of were back with melvina and kathy. Two viewers who let us follow them through the holidays to help them to stop them from packing on the pounds. And today after five weeks, they will be weighed in to see how theyve done since thanksgiving. Welcome them to today. Is it time . I think its time. This is our sixth week. Did they cut the creep. That is not gain any weight over the holidays. Thats the kind of weight that sticks with you the whole weight. Getting weighed on tv is not an easy thing. So this is after. This is in between christmas and new years. You look great. She doesnt know. She doesnt know the results. The results are drum roll. Now drum roll is you are up 3. 5, but before you are astounded, think about this. Overall, you have lost onethird pound. So you did cut the creep. Heres what happened. Overall shes down. Overall, shes down onethird. But what did you say before even you came in . Congratulations. Its not about the weight loss. Its about keeping this off. Tell us one thing you said. This is great because im not going to go into the new year with an extra three or four pounds because i kept it even. So it just will spur you on more. You have the right mindset. You kept it off and you are energized to do some more. What was the thing that did it for you . The eggnog or. Why dont you step up . It was definitely the eggnog. All the traditional meals my family usually cooks during the holidays. And you can hop on now. Kathy is up. And then your grand total is you are down 0. 5 pound. So your total, though total. Do you know what your total is . You are down 4. 3. Okay. Isnt that great . Im okay with that. Great. The thing is also melvina had fluid shifts. You were slow and steady, so everyone is different. There you go, kathy. Tell us what the lessons are for everyone at home. You have to set realistic goals. You have to be honest with yourself and find out what your barriers are. For melvina it was liquid calories. Kathy, the baking. Are you going to stay on that course . You have to stay on this course because not gaining and losing are about the same because, remember, it takes about 3500 calories to lose a pound. What does that mean . If you are a hurry, 500 calories saved a day is about a pound a week. If you want to do it slower, take 100 calories and its a pound a month. Its more about being in control and not the pounds. Are you glad you took part in this . Oh, yeah. I feel great. Were so glad you did. Thank you for playing with us. We appreciate it. Tomorrow, were going to tell you how to dress down to hide the pounds. Thats it. And movies for you and your family. And the best places to go to unplug for the new year.
