And next is my friend john did we shot out john, talking about urban sombrero with the real j. Peterson. Its going to be big. Send us over to the middle east and lets see what we can do about things. Next to him is randy altig who wrote a cute book called tuscany, next left. He and his family bought a villa in tuscany and renovated it and then live there during the summers. You have to perfect life. Well, because i know you and hoda. Today is National Teacher appreciation day. Did off teacher that changed your life . Yes, i did. I had miss rosebrock. She was an english teacher and i remember she was so unique and inventive. She never followed the curriculum word for word and she would do stuff like she would have a gardenia and take everyone outside and say draw what you see. So youd write about it, you draw it. Once she sat in the class and didnt say a word, she sat there, she was dressed in a funny way and she was watching how we reacted . An english teacher . An english teacher. It was so much a study of human nature and writing. I never knew what happened to miss rosebrock. Maybe somebody can let us kn know. I had a teacher who northbound 11th grade, she threatened to fail me if i didnt enter the local americas junior miss pageant. Miss buoy. It was a scholarship pageant. Not a beauty pageant but a scholarship. She said you have to do it. It was not cool at all to do it. What was her name miss buoy . No, buoy was the town i grew up she changed her name so i dont know her name. I ended up winning it. Of course you did then i went to maryland, got kicked out of the National Pageant but that started the whole direction of my life. Someone you need someone to nudge you along the way. My sister will let me know her name. Do you know its also another day, its National Two Different colored shoes day which hoda was celebrating last week. [ laughter [ laughter ] you are so ahead of the game. Theyre close. No one noticed but people in the control room. No one noticed those kinds of things. She was like, its embarrassing, you have two different colored shoes on. I get dressed in the dark every morning. Its a wonder it doesnt happen to me more often. So go and celebrate in your own weird fetish ways. It was chilly in the car, it took us forever to get in so i cuddled up with my hody. This is what i do. What is that . Thats that blanket somebody made for us. Nothing like having hoda in your lap for a couple hours. And you kept looking up at me and i kept talking to you and christine had to take a picture of you. That is so cute. You have one, too. I do . Yes, look in your purse, its in there. Ill check. Just a reminder, my friend jennifer, tonight is the come to the garden fathom event in select u. S. Cinemas tonight at 7 00 p. M. , check your local times. Im so happy for her. She asked me to do the audio book then she was on the today show selling her book. Now its made into a one woman show for her and shes a movie star. Go to fathomevents. Com. Speaking of star, the met ball was big last night. It was packed with celebs and everyone had a dress code for this. This is kind of like the theme, right . Yeah. So it was called tech white tie because the overall thing was man versus machine. So beyonce was dressed in something that looked kind of latexy. Look at her body, though. Please. Of course, i guess latex does help. But how does one go to the ladies room, hoda . How does one perspire . That must not be comfy . Those are long nights, too. She looks great. Lady gaga was wearing versace. She had crazy high heels. She always wears heels. I cant believe she can walk in those things. And she had to walk up those stairs at the met. Horrendous. She looks happy. Okay. Katy perry, i dont know what she was thinking but she she obviously had some thoughts in her mind about how she wanted to she always surprises, thoug though. Madonna, she was being cheeky. Oh, come on, you dont have to do that, you guys. It look worse when we do that. It really does. It duds look worse, it looks like she was showing it all and she wasnt. They were like chaps without with lace on her rear end. I thought this young lady looked beautiful. Zoe saldana. That was just stunning. Lupita nyongo had on a calvin klein. Nobody was talking about the dress. For the first time. They were talking about her hair. That got a lot of reaction on social media. I bet she didnt use any product at all. [ laughter ] no extensions. Taylor swift had an edgier look to her. I loved her look. She looked kind of like a kid. Usually she looks like she wears like long dresses, looks very grownup. She was cochair of this. Shes got her blond hair going. Claire danes was all it will up. I love this in the dark it lights up. Look at it. Its very cinderellaish. Thats something william ivy long would have used in the stage show. And that makes perfect sense given the theme of the night, too. Sarah Jessica Parker wore something people are saying looks like it was inspired by hamilton. Its got the jacket and the nickers. Kim k and her husband kanye, i didnt notice her as much, i saw his jeans and if you could see his eyes, his contact lenses were blue, the kind that you get like for halloween. Yeah. A little creepy. I didnt see a picture of that. Oh, yeah. See what im talking about. I could never wear contact lenses. That makes me hurt for him. Ladies, pregnant ladies are beautiful. Blake lively and kerry washington. Blake, she always looks she looks great. She hardly ever makes a mistake. Shes got so much class. And kerry looks adorable. I loved ciara. Do we have her picture . I liked her dress initially then i saw it was by h m . Thats not it. Thats emily blunt and someone else pregnant. Olivia wild. Matt lauer came in, stole the show. Up close it had a camouflage motif. I like to see him in white. Usually he wears black. He said he went cray. He said it was a crazy night. You know whats crazy . The tony awards. First of all, for the met ball can we just have the theme be spring and just have a beautiful just something just gloriously beautiful . Everythings so edgy. And its true. To get noticed you had to totally be completely weird because Everything Else like even some levels of weird didnt even make the papers because they werent weird enough. Thats why we werent invited. Were not weird enough. The tonys were announced. Hamilton was huge. They scored a recordbreaking 16 tony nomination with five of its actors and two of its actresses getting nods. It broke records that billy elliot held with 15 nominations each. Congrats to waitress they got four nominations including best musical, another nomination for best original score by sara be rell lis. Jesse mueller. Lead performance by an actress. She loves me. Jane krakowky, our girl. And steve martin and edie got five nominations. And the color purpose which will was down stairs performing did an incredible score. I didnt know they were nominated.
