Camped out for days. Whats all the fuss about . Five seconds of summer, the boy band from down under makes its morning show debut today, tuesday, july 22, 2014. From nbc news, this is today. With matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome on a Tuesday Morning to today. Or as we like to call it, the center of the tween universe this morning. Wow. Its crazy out there. You dont have to know new york city to know this line first of all, people started getting here on thursday of last week. And by this morning, the line had gone from 49th street and 5th avenue all the way up to 59th street and 5th avenue. Thats ten blocks. As i drove in i rolled into work today, opened the car door, and there were hopeful looks on the faces imagine their disappointment. Five sox fans. Something tells me youll spend a lot of time out in the crowd today. Looking forward to that. Let us take a break here and turn serious and to our top story. Were finally seeing positive steps in the investigation. Five days after malaysia air flight 17 was shot out of the sky. Just this morning, representatives from the airliner finally being allowed into the crash site. Nbcs keir simmons has the latest on that. Keir, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. Those investigators painstakingly examine this section of tail, taking pictures before moving on to other debris. We believe they are from malaysia, and this morning nbc news has been told of extraordinary negotiations with the Prime Minister of malaysia, phoning the rebel heres leader here himself. That also mentality the bodies of the victims could be taken from here. The people who died here have been given so little dignity. But this morning, local ukrainians held prayers. The bodies of the dead were transported by train overnight to a safer region of ukraine. Dutch Forensic Experts who examined them yesterday must identify each victim. It may take time before they can be returned to their families. They have been left lying in the road fr road, prompting international outrage. Late last night in a bizarre ceremony, the rebels handed the black boxes to the malaysians. A malaysian source tells nbc news the countrys Prime Minister directly negotiated with the rebels, the state Department Apparently informed of a diplomatic deal to get the bodies and black boxes back, as the president made this combative statement. What exactly are they trying to hide . But russias television reports, president putin and his diplomats all blame ukraine. It is very clear that ukrainian jet fighter was in the area at the same time, the same place. Reporter statecontrolled tv in russia suggests Ukrainian Military shot down the passenger jet, mistaking it for president putins own plane. There was also a Conspiracy Theory the plane was full of corpses and taken down by the u. S. In an attempt to start a war with russia. U. S. Officials lambasted those claims as nonsense. While in the field, aircraft metal apparently riddled with damage from a missile is finally within the reach of investigators. Those investigators have also been looking closely at peoples possessions. They are taking their time at each site in this large crash area, and all the time they are accompanied by rebels. Savannah . Keir simmons, thank you. Robert haeger is an aviation analyst who has covered this industry for decades. Good morning to you. The fundamental question in this investigation, who fired that missile. Getting the black boxes isnt going to answer that question. No. But are they irrelevant . Not completely. I mean, the cockpit voice recorder, if the pilots actually saw this missile coming at them, i doubt it. But that would reflect that. I mean, if they talked about it. Otherwise, i think both recorders just show a catastrophic event. Theyll tell you where it was, and at what time. It doesnt indicate what kind of catastrophic event. And then the recorders quit like that. So doesnt shed a lot of light. What about the crash . We know its been compromised somewhat in the last few days. Are there things that investigators can glean from that wreckage that will help tell the story . Yeah, there are. And i think you can see in one of the closeups there a piece of plane, a little hole. Theyre looking for that kind of thing. This missile thats the way its programmed as it approached the plane rather than as it goes through the plane, breaks into a lot of pieces with shrapnel. And the shrapnel might leave telltale signs of little holes in the wreckage. So the wreckage is imptant from that and it might tell you something, at least that it was hit by a missile. And the intelligence analysis. None of this tells you who fired it from where, which is the key question. That is intelligence information. All right. Bob hage e always good to have you. Thank you. Send it over to matt. Meantime, firefighters out in Washington State are getting some help from calmer winds and cooler temperatures in their battle against a deadly wildfire. The largest in state history. Its already charred more than 379 square miles. Nbcs Jacob Rascone has more. Reporter this is the most destructive burning in the northwest part of the country now. The community is welcoming rain but struggling to cope with the magnitude of their losses. The largest wildfire in Washington State history has destroyed at least 150 homes. And now taken its first life. 67yearold rob kazuski died trying to save his home. Digging lines, hauling water. And i think after three days, sounded like he had a heart attack. Over here was our house. Reporter the mayor speaks from experience. Her home destroyed along with 30 of her neighbors homes. I just want you all to know that we as a community are going to pull together and make this town even better. Reporter in the community of alta lake, sue digs to find anything worth saving. This dust, this ash, i dont know what it was. Even if its broken, its like the mothers of the bride ornament. Its worth keeping to me. Reporter and after losing it all, she now spends her time giving. Im so sorry. Reporter on the front lines, crews working to protect whats left. We saw for ourselves that a break in the weather doesnt mean a break in the firefight. 1,700 firefighters now fighting on the ground, with more in the air and more on the way. Washington states governor saying his fire resources spread razor thin. Firefighters hoping the rain doesnt bring mass flooding and as well lightning to the area. Savannah . All right. Thank you so much. Overseas now. New fighting raging in the middle east. Even as secretary of state john kerry holds a peace deal. Lets go right to nbcs chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel in gaza city for us this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. Secretary kerry may be in the region but a senior israeli official tells nbc news that a peace deal, a ceasefire, is, quote, not on the horizon. That israel will continue its offensive until all of the hamas tunnels have been destroyed. The Israeli Military has been surprised by the strength of hamas fighters and the extent of this network of tunnels. As to how long this mission could last, israeli officials said until the military mission is over. Rescue workers in gaza scrambled to recover the dead after Israel Attacked an Apartment Building in gaza city. Moments later, theyre running as the building collapses. Many workers are still inside. At least 11 are dead. Israel is still under rocket attack from hamas. More than 2,000 fired since the fighting began. Israel has lost at least 27 of its soldiers. But israel is under growing criticism for taking its offensive too far, and using heavy weapons against the densely populated gaza strip. Striking buildings like this one, where a family once lived. Israeli missiles came through the ceiling, through the floor, to hit the apartment downstairs. The eight People Killed here were collateral damage. Reporter a hamas fighter may be hiding downstairs. Israel sent its its missiles through this apartment. Youre saying this is a piece of the rocket that went through this apartment. Still blood stained. Reporter a neighbor sifts through the debris, looking for body parts of his youngest son, putting them in a garbage bag. The main hospital is overwhelmed. This 2yearold was tossed in the air by an incoming israeli shell and hasnt opened her eyes since then. This 7yearold lies in another bed, completely paralyzed. Hamas is still firing rockets into israel. This operation from the air and ground has only lasted two weeks, but Health Officials here in gaza say more than 600 palestinians have been killed so far. Savannah . Richard engel in gaza city, thank you. Natalie is here with a controversial move tied to the immigration crisis. Thats right. Texas now is going to deploy up to 1,000 National Guard troops to the mexican border. Governor rick perry says the troops will be sent to the rio grand valley to bolster border security. The deployment will begin immediately. Border patrol facilities have been overwhelmed by tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants from central america, including children who started to pour into the United States this year. President obama has requested an additional 3. 7 billion from congress to deal with the in flux. South Korean Police today say the countrys most wanted man sought in connection of aprils ferry disaster has been found dead. Police say his body was found in a field last month. Authorities believe he was the owner of the ferry that sank on south koreas coast in april. Prosecutors say his alleged corruption may have contributed to the accident, because his company spent little on Safety Training for the ferrys crew. So far, 294 bodies have been retrieved and 10 people remain missing. President obama bestowed the medal of honor on monday on former army staff sergeant, ryan pitts. Pitts is credited withholding off a brutal Taliban Attack back in 2008. Nine soldiers died and 27 were wounded during the battle. For nearly two hours, pitts helped fend off the enemy fighters from his observation post. He is the ninth living recipient of the nations highest decoration for battlefield valor for actions in iraq and afghanistan. V. A. Secretary nominee Robert Mcdonald in the spotlight today when he goes before the senate and Veterans Affairs committee for a nomination hearing. The former Procter Gamble chairman, president and ceo was nominated by president obama last month as the permanent replacement for eric shinseki. Shinseki resigned in may as the scandal over long waits for appointments and alleged secret waiting lists at v. A. Medical centers. Truck driver is recovering this morning in central kentucky after a horrifying accident all caught on camera. The driver was crossing some Railroad Tracks when his truck was hit by an oncoming freight train, and then it burst into flames, as you see there. Investigators think the truck driver missed a turn, then was watching the back of the trailer instead of the tracks. And heres an uplifting one.

The Santa Clara County Water District is considering to hire water cop to get people to turn off the tap. It would cost half a million dollars. The water cop could get warnings, but not issue fines to people who overwater their lawns or wash cars without a nozzle. District officials ask too cut back water use but fell short of that goal. Lightning overnight in San Francisco, this video was sent by a viewer in the mission district. It all started about 4 30 this morning. The unusual light show was seen all over the city. You can see here, lightning and lighting over at t park. The lightning was followed by rein and heavy rain rolled through the city after 5 00 a. M. This is video Near Union Square and the powell muni station. Also coming down in the south bay our photographer shot this video along highway 101 in Caylee Anthony clara. Some of the monsoonal moisture. Check in with Christina Loren, she has a look at the forecast. Good morning to you, laura. Were still tracking that right now lets get to the radar. You can see over the past hour, we had quite a bit of lightning just offshore, but as i stopped the radar for you, you can see whats happening now. The showers are thinning out, theyre spreading out, and as they head throughout the next few hours. All of the activity is expected to wind down, but the south bay right now all the way to livermore getting a good band of rain. Next up is this little band of moisture that is going to slam marin county then after that, we have a clear sky over the open water. Now as we head throughout the day today, gorgeous, gorgeous start to the day. Lots of pretty clouds overhead and temperatures hard to beat. Were talking about 78 in the south bay, heres mike and the drive. South bay where the live shot shows you traffic slowing down. Northbound 101, same shows on our maps. Green, damp roads, youll see that around the bay. Crash north 280 and south 280 may slow you down, but theyre moving out of the roadway. The southbound countercommute. The rest of the commute looks standard as far as when you pick out the paths. Nop big deal, but we have slowing for the trivalley, south 880 through oakland as well as the east shore freeway, back to you. Thank you for joining us as well, ill be back in half hour, have a great one. 7 30 now on a Tuesday Morning. 22nd day of july 2014. As you can see from that aerial shot and down here closer to ground level, Rockefeller Plaza packed for the 5 seconds of summer. 5 sos as theyre known to their fans. Were going to get to their music in our 8 30 half hour. This is one where we could run naked through the crowds and no one would notice. You could pick any other analogy and it would be far less disturbing. These girls are laser focused on the stage. Why would you say . It just crossed my mind. Well, uncross it. Now that you have that visual in your mind, lets look at whats making headlines this morning. Bowing to international pressure, prorussian separatists have now given the black boxes to malaysian officials. And just this morning the train that is carrying the bodies of some of the 298 victims arrived at a governmentcontrolled part of eastern ukraine. Secretary of state john kerry is meeting with top arab League Officials today. Thats in an attempt to end two weeks of heavy fighting between israel and hamas. And firefights say there is optimism in the air as they battle a fire in North Central washington. This out of control fire, the largest in state history is blamed in at least one death so far. Meantime, where were you one year ago . I was at my post outside the wing in london as Prince George made his arrival finally. Coming up, his whirlwind first year and a new message from his parents. But were going to begin this half hour in baltimore where a controversial new curfew will be in effect. It holds children and parents accountable. Some say this goes way too far. Peter alexander is there with more. Reporter good morning. This curfew is happening in baltimore, but cities around the country are going to be watching how it works. There are reasons why this has become so controversial. Most notably because its one of the strictest curfews in the country. Not just because of how early it is, but because of the consequences for violators and their parents. Is it fair . You be the judge. Its battles with drugs and gangs and poverty cast baltimore on the top tv series the wire. And now some insists the citys mayor is going out on a wire with plans to enforce a strict new curfew intended to keep kids safe. Protests broke out at a City Council Meeting here last month and critics weighed in again last night. Are they going to jump out on you, demand i. D. Reporter under the curfew next month kids under 14 have to be home at 9 00 p. M. And 14 to 16 have to be in by 10 00 on weeknights and 11 00 on weekends and summer. This is about making sure we keep kids out of harms way. So they dont become a victim of Violent Crimes or they dont perpetrate any crime. Reporter once picked up by police, kids are taken to a Curfew Center where their parents have to get them. And the parents face a fine of up to 500. However, that fine is waived if parents complete a Family Counseling session. But critics argue the plan amounts to house arrest and the citys energy and money would be better spent on other resources designed to help. Communities know who these kids are and organizations that work with them have already been asking for all kinds of services that the city is choosing not to invest in. Reporter similar debates have happened in indianapolis, oakland, and las vegas. And in recent years kansas city and philadelphia had curfews to crack down on crime. A debate so heated even teens cant agree. Whats the problem with a curfew . I moo en, im not going to be doing anything reckless or anything. I dont know why i have to be in at a certain time. Reporter is this a good idea or bad idea . For our location, its a good idea. Majority of people our age dont do what theyre supposed to do. Its probably best for now. Reporter one of the most controversial elements of all of this here is whether police should be the ones enforcing this. A lot of people say they already have too many things on their hands to deal with. And a lot of participaents say want their children to have less interaction with police, not more. Prompted discussion on the set just watching the story. I have a feeling people online will want to weigh in on this online. Carson . Yes, sir. Do you think citywide curfews are a good idea. Overwhelmingly the answer came back yes. 97 believe thats great. Lani says what child under 14 needs to be running around after 9 00 p. M. . Mary says its a shame that the city has to do with parents are supposed to do. Keep the conversation going at facebook. But as you can see, most people think its a great idea. Not just in baltimore, but beyond. I can tell you what Nancy Guthrie said when i was young. No good can come after midnight. Als outside with our crowd, and its a massive one. It really is, guys. We want to be able to communicate with them. Hello all you people. Are you having a good time . How about everybody over on 48th street . I love this thing. Im going to use this all the time. All right, lets show you whats going on as far as your weather. We do have something going on in the tropics right now. Tropical depression number two. Its moving west at 25 miles per hour. Not a lot going on with this thing. We do have a touch of summer in the midwest today. Weve got heat advisories up from texas all the way into wisconsin. Omaha is going to feel like 105. 101 in st. Louis. 97 in dallas. And weve got a heat warning for minneapolis. But relief is on the way behind that cold front. Temperatures drop down into the 80s. Rest of the country, risk of strong storms making their way from chicago all the way back into nebraska. Wet weather in the interior pacific northwest. Good news for firefighters there. More wet weather continues, fourth day in a row in the southeast and the gulf coast. Thats w 7 36, now we have a really unstable air mass overhead and showers and thunderstorms continue to roll on shore. Realtime Lightning Strikes right now from mill valley all the way north to san rafael. If youre hearing me, youre in the locations, stay indoors, at least for the next 10 to 15 minutes. That is a very active cell. Were going to see more lightning out of it as it continues to make its way east. Otherwise, as those showers clear out of here, getting brakes within the thick clouds. Were going to see a nice day, 75 on the east shore and 65 on San Francisco. Got less than sos. You know how happy that makes him . A kid in a candy shop. Now lets talk about a new law to limit the amount of hitting allowed at middle and High School Football practices. Willie is here with that story. Good morning. Good morning to you. The practice limits fullon tackling during the offseason and during most of the season it comes after the danger of concussions among both youth and professional athletes. California governor jerry brown is running interference for middle and High School Football players by signing a law late monday limiting the amount of tackling. The new law will restrict fullcontact practices to twice a week for a maximum of 90 minutes during the regular and preseason. And tackling is banned altogether in the offseason. The spirit of the rule is to keep kids safe and eliminate contact. Reporter but not everyone, including some parents, think less physical contact makes perfect sense. I think its putting my son in jeopardy. As an athlete you want to be prepared for what the conditions are like when youre in a game. Reporter according to to the u. S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention, nearly 14 million athletes suffer head injuries every year. The law comes as concussion related injuries are making headlines across the country. From teens to the pros. One of our team doctors who treated the players who had concussions reporter the nfl has reached a tentative settlement to pay 167 million to compensate players who have developed problems. Brett favre talked with matt last year about his experience with concussions on and off the field. Do you see a time you will have gone from the poster boy for toughness and grit in the nfl . Would you be willing to be the poster boy for awareness of concussions and what the hits can mean . Yes. I should say yes and no. I dont want to knock football at all. I think thats unfair. I knew what i was getting into. To think i could help maybe ease some of the potential trauma but still keep integrity of the game, im willing to do that. Reporter as for those practices in california, experts are now willing to bet that less tackling in practice could lead to Better Health in the future. Its the attitude you just need to suck it up and get tough and this sort of thing. But there seems to be a significant risk. If we could take extra precautions to help people in the long run, its worth it. This is obviously a big step for a big state like california. Remember the nfl already has restrictions in place on how much hitting they can do. And the state of texas now limited it to one 90minute session per week you can have contact. A lot of parents will sign onto that. Willie, thank you. Coming up on trending, fascinating photos. Some of new yorks most popular landmarks seen in an eyecatching new way. Okay. And then up next, milestone for Prince George. What the duke and duchess of cambridge are saying today. Right after this.

Who better to take us through the young royals first year than aunt natalie. I should be by now. It seems like just yesterday i was camped outside in london for days and days and days. It has been a whole year since the birth of Prince George. What a year it has been. The wait seemed to go on forever. Natalie is at her post outside saint marys hospital. Still no baby. Great kate wait continues. Hoping to see a baby at the end of this week. Finally on that hot summer evening, a new baby boy has been born, eight pounds, six ounces. It was the aw heard around the world when Prince George was carried out in his mothers arms. Here he comes in his babysit. Then put into the car by his father. In the past year, fascination with the royal familys newest member has only grown. He has captured hearts and minds across the world because he represents something new and the future. We saw his christening, his first photo shoot. His first steps. He has become a world traveller. He plays well with others. And is apparently an animal lover. A cover boy, the Little Princes face has graced the pages of countless magazines. Like his mom, even his style is being watched. Call it the george affect. The clothing he is spotted in sells out within hours. In spite of all the attention the parents are aiming to give him as normal a childhood as possible. William and kate want to resip row indicate what they have in their own upbringing. He is a baby like any other. On the other, you can read into that that this is a kid that knows his destiny. A destiny he is marching toward at full speed with the world watching this little boy who will one day be king. The duke and duchess have released a statement in the honor of his birthday. We would like to take this opportunity on georges first birthday to thank everyone over the last year, wherever we have met them, both at home and overseas for their warm and generous good wishes to george and our family. Prince george will reportedly be secelebrating with close family and friends. Let him eat cake. You are going to be the king one day. Do you have to be that cute . I know. Too much for one little kid. He is adorable. I have my own little baby wait to go on here. I will start knitting today. I will give you the world exclusive. See her outside the hospital . Dont laugh.

As you say, the bodies of victims have been removed away from this region and were told will be flown to the netherlands and the black boxes have been handed over to malaysian officials last night by rebel leaders. The investigators here will have a lot to look at. In the last hour, we saw a piece of debris that appears to have marks across it that may have been made by large pieces of shrapnel traveling at high velocity.

Now to what appears to be a happy conclusion to a nationwide search for a New Hampshire teenager missing for more than nine months. 15yearold Abigail Hernandez is waking up this morning in her own bed.

She was last seen walking home from her high school on october 9th. She was texting with a friend before she vanished. A search was launched by land and by air. The fbi joined the investigation. Right before thanksgiving, abbeys mother made an emotional plea for her return. I believe you are alive and i know that hope speaks louder than fear. It is my hope that you can reach out to me. Two weeks later investigators revealed abbey had reached out sending a letter to her mother in october. The contents were not made public. We are concerned for her safety. She is not out there alone. She has somebody who is either helping her whether that be a friend or what we fear is a foe. Investigators handed out pictures of a necklace and bag she may have had with her hoping it would lead to a tip. Months went by without a word. Until sunday night when she returned home safely. Abbeys family has declined any interview requests and authorities are now discussing the case as the criminal investigation remains open. For now, neighbors say it doesnt matter. Theres lots of scuttle about what happened and the bottom line is, shes home. And they say shes safe. A representative says the family will release more information to the press later on today.

And why is she strapped to the roof of my rav4 . Well, if you have kids. Then you know why. Now the real question. Wheres this thing going in the house . The rav4 toyota. Lets go places. Were back now at 8 15 with whats trending today. Lets start with a big question for parents. How much if anything do you want to leave your children when you pass away . Philip Seymour Hoffman had a lot of money to give, but its what he has written in his will that has a lot of people talking. His estate worth 35 million. He didnt leave any to his children all under the age of ten. You might be asking why. Well, because he didnt want them to become, quote, unquote, trust fund kids. Instead they left all the money to their mother, his longtime girlfriend. This has a lot of people asking what do i want to do when it comes time for me to make that decision. Its a good conversation starter. If youre lucky enough to have money to leave in the first place, you dont want to give them so much theyre not motivated. So many Success Stories have to do with people who came up from nothing and built something. You see a lot of these billionaires now leaving more of their money to charity. Which is a great thing. Ask the kids how much would you like me to leave you . A million, five million . I think you want to leave enough to where theyre covered or put it in a college fund, but not so much where theyre not incentivized to not word. You leave them enough to do something, not enough to do nothing. And require a portion is donated to charity. How much are you going to leave, al . Im not going anywhere. Als going to live forever. Perfect. Shifting gears, orange is the new black on netflix, its also kind of the opposite of the rule of the real life jail. The sheriff at saginaw county jail is now ditching the orange jump suit replacing it with black and white stripes. He says its because this is crazy the show has made the orange jump suit too trendy among fans. And the sheriff wants to make it clear it is not cool to be an inmate of the saginaw county jail. Now black and white stripes will be the fashion. Exactly. All right. What else we got trending this morning . Moving on. Show of hands. How many are procrastinators . I think were all little bit procrastinators. The person who waits until the last minute to get it done. What could be just as bad are those who finish tasks way ahead of schedule. If you answer trivial e nails just to keep the inbox empty. Do you pay your bills ahead of time . Do you arrive to parties way too early . Thats annoying when people do that. Yeah. If so, you may be precrastinating. Somebody throws a party at 7 00, i show up at 7 15. Ive had people show up at my house 20 minutes early for a party. Youre like, set the table. And youre not ready usually. You guys had a party . Its been awhile. Carson the hermit. Youve got to see these photos. Literally fades into the background. Surreal images are the creation of trina mary. She paints nearly nude models so they blend into their surroundings. This project has taken her to locations all over new york. Shes planted models in front of the freedom tower, brooklyn bridge, and central park. That is awesome. It is and that is whats tren if youre in the mood for a summer thriller, buckle up. Rachel mcadams stars in the most wanted man. Costarring robin wright and the late philip Seymour Hoffman. Mcadams plays a human rights lawyer who gets involved with an immigrant seeking asylum in germany. Take a look. Gods will . Or just a man who is arrogant enough to kill in his name . Shes good. Layla has been arrested. They may be deported. Because they were kind to you. Because they invited you into their home. Gods will. Welcome back. Thank you. Good to be here. Nice to see you. Thrillers, do you always love these . Yeah. This is a good one. This is based on a book which is amazing. Its got a lot of tangled webs and lots of threads to follow. And lots of surprises. When youre diving into a character based in a movie based on a novel like this one versus one thats simply based on a screen play, does it give you more to go on . For sure. Theres a whole template to follow there. I went back to the book often for details for a character but also just for mood and feeling. Hes so detail oriented that this comes from that. Youre a lot younger than i am. But lets do the greatest thrillers youve done from the movies. Are you more of a psycho girl . I dont mean that the way it sounded. Sorry. Thank you, matt. It just came out funny. Or a wait until dark girl . Ive never seen wait until dark. Youve got to see that. No. Is that the one no im thinking Audrey Hepburn and she plays a blind woman. Its unbelievable. Ive never seen that one. I spook myself easily. So how do you make a movie like this . This is political drama. I mean, its not as scary. Ten years ago you made a little movie called notebook. A lot of people still talking about that movie. Can i tell you a quick little story . Al, why dont you tell the story . So were on a flight from new york to l. A. And we got our little video players. And im sitting next to matt. And hes watching a movie, im reading a book. All of a sudden i notice hes crying. I mean, hes sobbing. I mean, buckets. Weeping. Uncontrollably. And then i start watching it and now im crying. And were just buckets of water. Oh, you guys. We held hands the rest of the flight. Theres no shame in that, right . No, no. Embrace it. I love that. Do people still talk to you about the notebook all the time . Well, its funny. Men want to confess that they cried and it felt good. Yeah. Its a lovely thing. Thank you. They just released your audition tape. Youve obviously seen that. It came out. Is it weird to go back and look at the way you went about getting roles ten years ago . I havent seen it. That would be weird, yes. We have a shot. Take a look at this. You have it . You have everything here. There is no easy way out. No matter what i do, somebody gets hurt. Forget about everyone then. Forget about everyone and me and him and your parents and what you think you should do. What about you . What do you want . Its not that simple. Yes, it is. No, its not. It is. Why are you cringing . You got the part. It worked out well. It really did. Nicely done. Thanks, guys. We got matts audition. Lets roll that. Hes weeping. He taped it easy. Its weird.

Taking a live look at the radar, which is starting to dry out, especially up in marin county, a little cell south of sonoma county. As we continue throughout the morning hours, though, i can tell you, we are going to continue to clear out of here. By about lunchtime, maybe a residual shower or two, but most of this activity will conclude. Beautiful sky leftover. Take a look at San Francisco, fabulous start to the day here. Looking beautiful in the Oakland Hills, same for mt. Hamilton. Temperatures today in the low 80s, even in the hot spots. And thats your latest weather. I want to introduce someone here holding a big check. She is with annies. And youre here because of a story carson has been working on over the last six of eight months. Tell us about that. Exactly. I know many love us for our mac and cheese and organic foods. But weve been passionate about helping with gardens. So when we heard of all the work carson has been doing. How are you .

And we hope that our donation today will help inspire others and get them involved to donate and help you with your mission of putting a garden in every school. This means so much to us and the schools in brooklyn. For annies to step up like this, you acknowledged real food for kids to get close to it. So this means a lot to us. We really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much. And carson, good job. We are going to come back and then weve got a little thing called a concert from 5 seconds of summer on the concert stage behind us. But first this is today on nbc. Just seconds away now from our big concert on the plaza. 5 seconds of summer will take our toyota summer concert stage in just a moment. Those two lucky girls. My goodness. Well check in with them in a moment. Were back with one of the biggest action stars in hollywood. Dwayne johnson stars in the new movie hercules. Take a look. In this moment on this day become the man you were born to be. Let it be to death or victory talk about the man you were born to be. I feel like you were born to play this role. I was. I heard you wanted to play it since you were a kid . Yeah. When i was a kid at 5 i saw the first Hercules Steve Reeves and i remember the poster. It inspired me then. Then when i got to hollywood 14 years ago, it was the first project i brought up to executives. At that time i didnt have the juice, i didnt have the clout, so it didnt get made. Then years later, here im sitting with you. So i do. I actually said this to our director a few years ago when we sat down for it. I said its cliche and corny but i feel in my bones i was born to play this role. Something really amused me. I heard you had to bulk up for the role. Is it true . Is it so amusing . Amusing you had to go through the regimen. I did. You get one shot at hercules. Even though theres been it rations in the past of herculeh, i wanted to have one that was defining for the generation. There i am in budapest training. And it was working out twice a day. When did you start . What time in the morning . 3 30 in the morning. Its crazy. Tell me about your eating regimen. Thats also insane. Are you sure you want to hear this pregnant . Its crazy, by the way. It was seven to eight meals a day. Starting at 3 30 in the morning. But i needed that. I needed all the calories to support all the activity that i was doing. You obviously worked so hard. Like anyone after a good workout, you went through three hours of hair and makeup to get that wonderful look. I did. We had the best designers in hollywood. Oscar nominated. And it was three and a half hours every day. Because, by the wa y, im awarei cant hide. Not like matt lauer running around here. I dont blend. Neither does he, by the way, in that cool suit. It was three and a half hours every day of hair, beard, scars to make the transformation happen. I hear you just wrapped up fast and furious 7 i know paul walker was a friend. Im sure that was tough. It was bittersweet. The death of paul like any time we lose a loved one, it rocks us to our core. It makes us love our loved ones that much more stronger every day. More powerful. And with pauls death, i felt that the best thing we all felt collectively was the best thing to do was create space and make the best movie possible. And i do believe that the fans are going to walk away from the movie i think theyre going to be triggered emotionally because of paul. And i also think theyre going to walk away seeing a great movie. Thats a tribute to his legacy, of course. He was one of the good guys, as you know. Indeed. And you are a movie star right now. Would you ever go back to wrestling . Well, i love the connection with an audience. Theres nothing like it. You know that. Youre in Live Television. Theres nothing like it, because youre on. But if it made sense. And right now what makes sense would be to find the marquee opponent. I dont know who that is. Maybe its me, al roker, and, you know, matt in a triple threat match. Wait a minute. Im tough too.

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. 8 56. Im scott mcgrew. Lightning hit overnight in San Francisco. This video sent to us by a viewer in the mission. It started around 4 30 this morning. The unusual light show, seen all over the city. You can see it over at t park this morning as well. And, in fact, we saw some just a short time ago. Lets check in with christina. We had some really rare cloudtoground lightning up in the north bay. Watch as this radar begins. You can actually see it coming through mill valley, all the way up to san rafael. And yeah, you heard those claps of lightning and thunder was so loud out there. At this point, things are starting to settle down. You can see those cells starting to deteriorate. Gradual clearing, a building breeze, and your sevenday forecast in moments. From nbc news this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hal from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. Holy 5 seconds of summer. 5 sos. 5 sos . If youre a fan which i am now. 5 sos. Yes. If they were smart theyd put out a sauce. You know they will. They got to punk thing going. Its amazing because two years ago a Group One Direction was opening for nickelodeon boy band, big time rush. By the end of the tour, they had eclipsed big time rush. Same story here. These guys are opening for one direction right now. I think theyre at the london hotel or something. And along with one direction, its no big secret. And there are thousands of girls camped out there. Speaking of, would you stand in line girls were standing in line starting last week. 2 00 a. M. The line stretched for ten blocks. My parents wouldnt let me do that. Give these kids a pass and let them go and come back. Im always curious about that. People who let your kids look. Most parents are with them. But a lot of these kids are down there by themselves. That would be an edge y i fun experience if youre 16. I had a friend who said too much . Wow. Hey. Random bathroom. Easy now. Havent showered for four days. Living on edge. What i was going to say pales in comparison. My mom took me to go see right away your street cred has dropped considerably. My mom took me to see soupy sails performing at the singer bowl at the worlds fair. And that was big. But you were at the drake concert. I was. And your video went viral. Because you were trying to understand the life of a 16yearold girl. I was there with my daughter and her friend. It was five hours of common, future, and drake. Like who are these people . I knew who they were, but i was like, my gosh, ive got to get out of here. Not your cup of tea. Theyre talented, but wow. A lot of people saying who is 5 seconds of summer. Now you know. Youre going to know from here on out. Theyre good. Their album is great. I was listening to it prepping for the show. I like it. Im a young people too. Young person. Keep telling yourself that. No . Its too late for all of us. I try, anyway. Great moment at the white house yesterday. Staff Sergeant Ryan m. Pitts received the congressional medal of honor yesterday from president obama. He is the ninth living recipient of the nations highest honor for military courage. In 2008 he was in afghanistan when about 200 insurgents attacked his post. It became one of the deadliest battles of the war there. The nine soldiers fighting with him were killed. He was wounded but was able to hold off alone until a couple more guys joined him. To push them back and hold position. Heres what the president had to say about Sergeant Pitts yesterday. Ryan pitts, you see the humility and loyalty that define americas men and women in uniform. This medal, he says its not mine alone. It belongs to everybody there because we did it together. Long before today, i knew that when president obama put the medal around my neck i would be thinking of my brothers who fought beside me on july 13th, 2008. Standing there i thought of these incredible men. Those present here today and especially our brothers who fell. Valor was everywhere that day and the real heroes are the nine men who made the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could return home. It is their names, not mine, that i want people to know. Specialist sergio abad, Corporal Jonathan ayers, First Lieutenant jonathan burgstrom, corp. Ral matthew phillips, Corporal Gunnar swilling. What a beautiful tribute there. You see that time and time again with these guys. Theyre almost uncomfortable receiving this award because they think it belongs to the men and women no longer there. His story a lot like the lone survivor. And it is heart breaking to think they sort of live with that guilt now. Absolutely. Thinking could i have done more. And he did everything humanly possible. Somebody we know and love, a recipient, he touched on that. He said when he received his honor, youre not thinking of yourself. All you can think about are those who did not come home to their families. That you were embarrassed of the attention that you so rightfully deserved but your heart is with your brothers and sisters. Amazing. Sergeant pitts, thank you for what you did. Well, heres a different kind of story. To spank or not to spank . I think every parent has come to that point in their parenting life where all of a sudden they have to make a decision or theyre trying to grapple with how do i handle the right way to discipline my child . This story is out of long island where a parent spanked his son due to speaking back to an adult. The man admitted to spanking his child. And last week an Appellate Court ruled that the fathers spanking was a reasonable use of force. Did not constitute excessive corporal punishment. Look around the table at the parents here, and i think a couple of times, maybe two times i have spanked my children. All were for extreme cases of, i thought my children were going to run out in front of a car. Or other things that they were not supposed to do that scared the life out of me. I got three kids. I probably spanked each one maybe twice. Look, i was spanked as a kid. I was a lot. I think it was more the threat of the spanking than the actual spanking. I think it is generational. Not a lot, but i think i was spanked. Ive never spanked my kids. I have a deep, threatening voice that is worse than any spanking. What do you do . I have to show it to the kids. Im not going to show it to you now. Because i would shudder in fear . You would. It freezes them in the tracks. I think spanking a kid teaches them that thats the way to resolve a conflict and that it ends right there and with a physical confrontation. You should be able to talk through it. There are times that maybe ive grabbed them by their arm to shake them a little bit. I think if its a habitual thing. The time its happened i apologized after wards. You feel terrible. I maybe overreacted but you scared dad. I was so worried about you. Obviously its not something you do on a regular basis. My dad used the threat of dont make me go get my belt. And it was a military belt. Did he use it . Barely. My dad made the move to the belt. I remember my elementary school. They had the paddle. With the holes in it. They said they could go at it. A drumstick. You get caught with it . Yes. She popped me. It was traumatic. I still feel it. But my mom was okay with it. Because its a nun. No, its not okay. Did christ tell her personally it was okay . Come on. Okay. That was your thought. I was like jesus told me something else. And then i got popped. That was it. Moving on now. Highest paid actors. This is an interesting list. Okay. What was the number one movie, you think, of the year that would rake in major cast . Fast and furious. Ironman. Those are worth the investment as it stands. Those actors in those films, highest paid people in hollywood as far as men are concerned. Chris hemsworth for thor. Bradley cooper earned an estimated 46 million from American Hustle and the hangover. And dwayne the rock johnson, you mentioned fast and furious. He made 52 million from that franchise. Its interesting thats the first big movie that came to our minds. Number one on the list was Robert Downey jr. He didnt have a movie out this year, but he earned the cash from ironman and avengers. Like 75 million. And worth every penny of it. Thats the thing. Are those movies worth those salaries . I say yes. Please. Look at the box office. Internationally, fast and furious is huge a asia. And the smaller movies, they take points and see how to make it on the other side. Lets show you what weve got going on as far as your weather is concerned today. Checking things out.

Reporter this summer they got a 10,000 grant and hit the road in an rv to share their mission around the country. Along the way theyve given out free ice cream, left care packages for the homeless, and visited the Childrens Medical Center in omaha to cook families for families staying in longterm housing. I thought, well, thats weird there would be an rv in the parking lot of the rainbow house. Reporter the mcgee family has been back and forth between the hospital in nebraska and their home in iowa since last fall when their son caden was born with severe heart and lung conditions. The guys took the mcgees on a shopping spree to help take their minds off a major heart surgery caden had scheduled. Random acts of kindness are rarer than they should be. So i feel like with our rare situation, it was pretty neat to have these guys come and do this. Because you dont hear about acts of kindness very much. And so it was nice to be part of that. They just asked that we try to do acts of kindness too. Reporter 20yearold alex started the project after his first semester at Perdue University in indiana. His inspiration for the term a. R. K. Came from the movie evan almighty. Morgan freeman was playing god and he said how do we change the world. One act of random kindness. It took ahold of my heart in a way nothing has. I knew this is what i was made for. Reporter alex dropped out of college so he could pursue a. R. K. Project now fulltime. In california the guys are on the receiving end of kindness. A hotel lets them park their rv for free while they move to their next act. Were going to hand out free water, make sure people are staying hydrated and healthy out here. Reporter while in San Francisco, the team hangs out with a group of kids at the willie mays boys and girls club. After getting to know each other, they surprise everyone with personal gifts.

Reporter with each mile on the road and each smile given, the guys hope each simple act of generosity leads to many more. Great job by those guys. By the way, baby caden who you heard about in the piece, hes recovering well from heart surgery and they cannot wait to finally bring him home. We wish caden and the family well.

This morning were kicking off a new series called tamrons tuesday trend where tamron shares her favorite lifestyle beauty and Health Trends with you. I have to put my ear piece in. Willie did a great job. I whip my hair back and forth. A few weeks ago i wore my hair natural on television for the first time. And received a huge response from viewers. Most of it pretty positive. I think your hair looks spectacular. Ive never wor natural hair on tv. Should tamron keep her hair like this. Orangeroom. Yes or no. A lady wrote what does natural hair mean. Natural means no heat, no relaxer. So thanks to everybody for the love. Thank you for the supporting of it. That was a hilt head kiss. So for my first tuesday trend i wanted to start with natural textured hair. So i called in the celebrity hair stylist and educator johnny rice who does my hair and he also happens to be the stylist for the first lady of the United States, michelle obama. He is the man behind the bangs. I am the bangs. Good morning. Nice client list there. Hefty a bit. Its good. Were you surprised by the reaction you got . I was. I shot the show with bear grylls and i was too tired to do my hair that morning. I was surprised. I was also moved by the number of moms who said my child is multiracial and has curly hair. What should she do. I want the natural look too too. It was interesting. I was so happy you did it. I was so excited. Why do you think the Natural Hair Movement really has i hate to say taken off. Its not a trend. For women of color, people have this. But why do you think its so hot . Times have changed. I think women are starting to embrace their curls a little more and feel a little more like they want to be more versatile. Thats whats great about natural hair. You can wear it curly, you can wear it straight. You can have a frizz ball. Whatever you want. And Everybody Knows curly girls rock. They really do. Its a natural nation out there. Bun of the headlines said why is tamrons mini afro making headlin headlines . You did a great job shampooing. With tamron left a little conditioner in her hair. A lot of people dont understand how did you get it curly. No, this is her natural hair texture. When i do it straight, i blow it out and put heat on it. Natural means no chemical relaxer. Lets move here. Its all women from all backgrounds. Yes. This is a curly look for a different type of hair. Yes. We do diffusing to it. This is her natural hair texture. Leave a little leave in in there and diffuse it and you get nice curls like this. How does she keep from having frizz . The products she uses. Steam care is good for natural hair. It applies a lot of noich to the air. The curls they get dry, so you have to have steam care. And this is willies goal in life to have hair like this. I know america will fall in love with miss zoe. We twist sit her hair yesterday. You can take big sections. It helps define the curls. Does she have product in her hair . A little bit. Al aloe v aloe vera because it helps with breakage.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District is considering hiring water cops to fine water wasters and get them to turn off the tap. The proposal would cost 500,000. Now, socalled water cops could give warnings, but not actually issue fines. People who overwater their lines or wash their cars without a nozzle. District officials asked customers to cut back by 20 , but customers have fallen short of that goal. B. A. R. T. Is expanding a program that is aimed at improving safety at its stations. Yesterday, b. A. R. T. Police started warning people that sleeping, laying down, or sitting with your legs out at the powell street station could get you fined. B. A. R. T. Says the new safety measure is to make sure that stations can be safely evacuated in an emergency, in just four to six minutes. But it certainly affects Homeless People who take shelter there. Well, lets take your weather with christina. Good morning, scott. Good morning to you at home. This is all that is left of that shower activity. Still have a pretty good batch over palo alto. Everything is clearing nicely. I want to show you emeryville. As you can see, a little bit of blue in that sky. Same thing for la honda and looking good in San Francisco. A gorgeous shot here as those clouds clear. The wind is going to pick up for today, and that will be a problem, especially in places right at the immediate coast and through the higher elevations. Overall, temperatures today, mid70s. Really comfortable. Heres mike and your dry. Southbound 101, looking a little slower here at the curves. Well show you the maps, the curves at terra linda, the only real sticking point. Maybe a little fog, actually, highway 37, novato there. A lower drive, north 880 through oakland. Cleared now that the stalled vehicle has also cleared. Scott, theres the rest of your bay, a smooth drive, 101 still a little slow. All right, mike, thanks. Another local news update coming for you in a half an hour. From nbc news this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza. Oh, gosh. It is booze day tuesday, july 22. The summer is passing by too fast. We are going to celebrate today. It is a birthday. When a royal has a birthday we throw a party. It is happy birthday to george. We will discuss that a little later. But the Biggest Party he is just too adorable. I want to eat him up. The Biggest Party of all happened today on our plaza. We couldnt get in the building to go to work today. There is a group called 5 seconds of summer. Usually it is packed. This time it was packed all the way from 50th, 49th street to central park. The kids have been sleeping on the pavement with faces on the sidewalk, some from last week. These are four kids from australia. They scream out their names. By the way, i was walking through the crowd. While i was walking through i saw a girl crying and someone is passing out and doing something. They said 18 girls were treated by medics because they had been out there for so long. Two girls its insane. Two girls we were finding two fans to bring them to the front. They are from montgomery, new york. They are 15 and 16yearold sisters. They were sisters. Take a look. Ready and go. We are going to walk to the front. Lets go. Hyperventilating. They kept saying you know what is funny about those two . All the young girls were saying we are so happy because they were so happy to be there. So we should look at the performance. I hadnt heard of them until last week. I love you standing there in my American Apparel underwear and i know now that im so down your lip stick stain is a work of art i have your name tattooed in an arrow heart i know now that im so down they are all adorable. They have the darling australian accent. It turns out the three what i like about these guys is they are not just a pretty boy band. They really are a band. They all play instruments. Three of the guys were putting up covers of songs on youtube and they found their drummer who is so cute. Adorable. Looks like a surfer. Found him on facebook. Now they are opening for one direction. I wonder if they are bigger than one direction. They might end up being. Never under estimate the power of teenage hormones. That is what that is. The little girls were sobbing. I didnt know what was going on. A girl gave me a letter to give to one of them and then she wants him to tweet when she gets it. It was a lot. People had things to hand to them and gifts. We had a song from them. They are going to play on our show, too. We all know kate hudson in a movie called i wish i was here. She is here. That is all that matters is that she is here. Lets talk about our party. We have party favors. We have wine. We are celebrating a 1 year old. We decided we wanted to take a look back at the prince over his first year. Lets take a peek. It will just be fun. Oh, my gosh. The long gown. Look at this. He wants everything. He is so curious. Hes curious george. Curious george but such a happy baby. Oh, dont you want to watch like every i want to see every photo, every piece of video. He has already been on about 100 covers. Good luck trying to keep him grounded. The statement they did release we would like to take this opportunity on georges first birthday to thank everyone over the last year wherever we have met them for their warm and generous good wishes to george. There are rumors that she is pregnant again. We dont know it is true. We will show you party ideas for your child if they are turning 1. We dont want george to hog the spot light so we asked for pictures of your baby who share georges birthday. Here they are. Presley is 1 today. How adorable. Look at her shirt. I love george. Elliot and bennett hardin. And by the way, throughout our show we will show you more pictures of babies turning 1 today. So there is an update about the three little girls from the pho photothey took together that have gone viral. They are battling cancer. There they are. It is one of the photos. They didnt know each other and took the picture. The great news about when you see that you feel sort of sad but the great news today is that all three of those girls are in remission. So we are just very happy for them and for the families. We thought sometimes we show photos like that and it is nice to know. The photographer wants to reunite the three girls and get them back together. Thats fantastic. Harrison ford, remember he was in england and they were shooting his star wars movie. He broke something, never confirmed. It was such a weird thing. Did he twist his ankle . This is the contraption he is Walking Around in. No crutches. He has sort of like bent at the knee and then he has a peg thing on the ground. Give me crutches or something. He is 71 years old even with that thing i think he looks great. I do, too. I think he is a sexy man. What is interesting is they had to stop production on the movie. So this is a great piece of video. There is 105yearold woman who celebrated her birthday in a unique way. The oldest person ever to throw out a major league pitch. Look at the windup and the toss. Watch how she does it. And go i think she did well especially considering some of the other people throwing out pitches. Remember 50 cent. Its just a picture. That doesnt help. That is not great form. Remember, he threw it into the bleachers on to the side. It is not as easy as it looks. I dont mean a girlie pitch. Want an apology underneath. All of us have heard of procrastinators, the ones who pay taxes late and do things late. Who is a procrastinator that you know . I am about certain things. Taxes and bills. I wait. Jury duty. But there is a new thing called precontrast naters, people who do things too early. The people who show up to lunch a half hour before they are supposed to be there, people who pay their bills a month before and making us all feel overwhelmed and stressed out. Or is it making the people doing it feel that way . I like being early. We show up early for lunch. We have been on Live Television for so many years. Frank when he was coach under Vince Lombardi you were never to be on time with coach lombardi. You had to be there ten minutes ahead of time so you were late. We live by lombardi time. I like that. You have to factor in that things are going to happen. Life happens. Sometimes if people are eating with us they want to show up early. I know when others come to meet us feel like they are late because we are already sitting there. Everybody has just so much time in their lives. If you are chronicily late you are saying my time is more important than everybody elses. Nobodys time is more important. What about five minutes late . Things happen. You get stuck in traffic or the elevator. I think people have a grace period of five or ten minutes. People always late and come in breathless and always drama. The subway broke and its like i dont want to know. You know we dont like your sexy photos online. For young teens who think it is cool to be like im at the beach look at my earrings and their boobs are out dont do that. Studies show people dont like that. They looked at facebook profiles for a fake 20yearold woman. The bottom line is when you do that you annoy people. I know when i see pictures of someone saying you like my new jeans you are inhaving everythi out. You have to be careful. These things haunt you sometimes. You are trying to get a job and it is a serious subject. Be careful. So we have a huge show. We have major, major stories. We have 5 seconds of summer performing. And from i wish i was here we are glad she is here. Kate hudson. So, duke, what do you think of our new bushs baked beans video game . I think im getting the hang of it.

Look how cute you are. Hello i am a mix. I love this movie. So that makes you feel a bit better. You see all of everything. You know, you are always critical of yourself. You think about how you did something and if you would have done it differently. You and zack are friends. I know he has wanted you to be in a project of his for a long time and timing never worked out. You were pregnant or busy. This was perfect. The script was so wonderful. When i read it i was so excited to be a part of it. It was also an independent film. Shooting is actually a lot we had 25 days to shat a l shoot a lot of pages and a limited budget. Zach is amazing. When you have such an intimate relationship with someone sometimes you feel like the boundaries are blurred. Zach commands the set and knows what he wants and everybody wants to work for him because he is so wonderful. It was great to see that. When you are talking i think of your mother. I cant help it. The smile, the whole thing. It is a compliment. I love my mommy. When she watches your films, does she criticize or praise or give pointers . It depends on the movie. I have a very honest family. There are times where they are like well, there is always another movie. What was the biggest porker . The first film i ever did was the big dramatic moment, a small emmy movie. The big dramatic moment was one of the actors. My dad and i just started to laugh it was like. My dad goes there is always your first movie. So you cant you have to i think as an actor, one thing if you are a producer or director and putting your vision out there. As an actor you are a hired gun. We show up and hope for the best and walk away. We get some flack for it. You kind of have to let it go once you leave set. Kind of a metaphor for life. Let it go. I hear that song all day long.

The truck driver says he was doing his normal routine, lifting trash into the truck when he heard yelling from the back. He quickly drove to the nearest fire station to get the man out. Turns out the man had been sleeping in a bin before being dumped into the back of the truck. Hes expected to be okay. We talked to the truck driver. Hes being called a hero.

Still a little bit of activity lingering around the bay area. Were going to see these residual cells pass through. Theyre hit or miss at this point.

The Altamont Pass shows you the clearing for the yellow. And that orange continues over towards dublin. And again, the last of the morning commute making its way through there. And the rest of your bay shows the same pattern, clearing up, but a little bit of rainfall on the 0880. Its hit and miss through oakland.

College students will soon be able to drink on campus, sort of, even if theyre not 21. A new law going into effect and why it only applies to certain students. More on that story coming up on the big show. We are back on this booze day tuesday with more of today. Before the break we gave a riddle. Two men play five complete games of checkers. Each man wins the same number of games but no ties. How does this work . The answer is they are not playing against each other. If you had a hard time figuring it out it is because your brain is wired to try to provide an answer. Scientists call this the illusion of knowledge. Thank you to nat geo brain games. And tonight one part cooking competition and one part game show and pairs the professional against the amateur. Tonight is the premier. Tell us how it works. How is the show going to work . Home cooks take their five best Signature Dishes and go against five talented chefs. The chefs increase the level of difficulty with each chef you knockout you win money. How long does the competition last . Depends on the different dishes. What is great is it is judged by five every day americans, not food professionals. They dont know it is amateur versus pro. That is what it should be based on. I never think this but people think i bet i can make that. You look at a good recipe and think you can whip it up. Absolutely. The home cooks dont know the chefs expertise. The chef doesnt know what they are cooking until right before. It is a strategy. What kind of people are entering . The audience is definitely going to recognize something because they are moms, grandpas, decorated soldier. All kinds of people. So you are going to we are going to do a test drive here because our viewers sent in their recipes. Anyway, i think he is going to know spaghetti when he tastes it. Why not . Why wouldnt you do it . Lets do the whole thing. A little bit of a big bite. You can do it. You got that. Okay. What is that . Some kind of grab meat. Cheddar cheese crab meat. Here is something else. Drink that. Wipe my hands of this whole thing. Just a little bite. Its going in your mouth. Going right in. Good luck with that. Good one. Thats good. One more. Okay. A little water. Thank you so much. Now, good luck with that. Thank you so much. Im going to do this one yourself. All right. We have to wind it down. If you couldnt understand what any of that was, of those three we have a prize for the winner, which of these dishes do you think deserves the prize . I am going to say i like the flavor the most on number three. It is chicken and the winner of this, whoever it is, gets a mug, sign and a today show cap. Slap yo mama chicken wings. Jessica, this is for you. This thing you have to tweet it out an apology for some of your remarks. I guess obviously incredibly sorry about my actions but i think more so i know that my mom raised me better than that. I was raised to know that human beings dont talk that way to each other and if you are someone on television it is irresponsible. My whole thing is so many people worked so hard on food fighters. I would hate for my lapse of judgment to overshadow the work. They see the three of us on camera. Thank you. Food fighters premieres tonight here on nbc. You can find the recipes on k klgand hoda.
