>> i think you made a good point we're not so invested in that relationship. i made that point in the dressing room. >> but i attributed it to you. i never saw it as a couple. we never heard a lot about em thi them. >> i keep picturing that picture do you remember when he was naked, do you remember? >> you were already in love with them and then when that happened you were over the moon. >> we have some news about george clooney and his fiance, they did show a picture of the engagement ring. they said it was seven karats. she's lovely. she's so elegant. >> before the proposal he apparently travelled to dubai to meet her family. >> the daily mail said it and they said she turned him down twice when he asked her out and said yes on the third date. what do you think of that. >> i think she's smart. everybody knows she's intelligent but she's also smart. who says no to george clooney. that had to intrigue him like what. that made him go, my mother always said make him chase you until you catch them is what she used to say. but i said to hoda, you would have said what time and what do you want me to wear? >> immediately. >> and so would everyone else accept for her who's the smart one. >> maybe she's just not interested in that. >> we're so unused to anybody whose not used to celebrity. we assume everybody is all interested in it. by that i don't mean talent, just mean celebrity. >> tory. true tory. it's a dockmentary. it's been very painful watching it. if you watch last night's episode, the couple is in te therapy and her husband reveals details about the day he had a break down. >> we're sitting here in a room where i had my break down and i remember looking at that crack that day while we were waiting for the emts. i was thinking i got a window of opportunity here while i'm waiting for them to kick that out and dive out of it. i sit here today looking at it and i know i will not take my life. >> that was not something i thought needed to be addressed or talked about because it's -- scary. so scary. you know? >> is she okay? you okay? >> yeah. >> that's what i love about you. >> wow. >> i'm so uncomfortable watching that. it's so painful to watch them be this public about it. i mean we've all been through very difficult times in our lives, i can't even imagine if there had been cameras. i want them to heal and, you know, i everybody one time tory came to -- she hosted for you and i invited her to lunch and i was not a fan of her's before. i liked her on the show and i asked her if she would like to come up to my house in connecticut and have lunch. i really fell in love with her. she was so sweet and candid and lovable. i basically said to her, i said i don't know what your issues are with your mom, do you know what you should start doing is texting your mother pictures of the children. that's it. you don't have to put any words with it. just she'll know so she gets to see her grandchildren and things will start to heal. it starts with a little thing like that. but if she had cameras on at the time it seems manipulative, you don't know if it's for show or for real. they make me so sad. >> the thing i took away from it uncomfortable as it was so watch, he looks horrible. >> he's a very handsome guy. >> first i thought he's kind of a jerk and he cheated. when you watch this guy, all of my sympathy goes to her when you watch her you see a broken guy. this is the face of a guy who has addiction issues. they are not separated but just trying to work through this but what a terrible thing and it also does -- it's a window into him that i didn't know before. >> what difference does it make if i know or don't know. who cares if i know. >> i hope they are not doing it because they need the money because i do think she could privately go to her mom and say mom we are really hurting would you please help us out so we can turn these cameras off. i hate it when anybody has to do something for the money. >> partly it's money and partly something else. >> i don't know. god bless you guys. >> all right the cast from one of the most popular tv shows of all time little house on the prairie. they are all back here together for the first time in more than two decades. we're going to catch-up with them and find out what's going on right after this. energy! energy, energy, energy. it's inside of all of us. even gary here.
