Type of air bag, saying millions of drivers are at risk. So why are the makers pushing back . From tonight to today, a rare performance from jay leno in our studio today, wednesday, november 19th, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. You may have seen, as we came inside, that the image outside said 22 degrees in new york city. Dont worry about that. How would you like to live around the great lakes today . I was going to say in buffalo, new york, it is snowing so hard right now we had a great shot to show you of all the snow coming down, we just lost it because its so bad. Its all about location, location, location. This band of snow is ten miles wide. Ten miles south of that, theres almost nothing. Youre talking six feet of snow in places. And theres more on the way. Its crazy. It is piling up in the great lakes region, as al just said. Conditions are so bad around buffalo, for example, the National Guard has been deployed. Dylan dreyer is south of there in dunkirk, new york, this morning. Dylan, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. Here in western new york, we are measuring the snow in feet. Six feet of snow in some areas, most of that falling in just a 24hour period. New yorks governor has declared a state of emergency. As you mentioned, called up the National Guard. Its hard to believe that more snow is still on the way. Blinding and brutal. The snow coming down at a rate of four inches every hour, time lapse footage showing a wall of snow moving in off lake erie. Its called lakeeffect snow. And its having some effect. Theres a car under there somewhere and there and there. Hundreds of vehicles were stranded, including a bus carrying the niagara Womens Basketball team, stuck for hours. Among the many in need of rescuing. Police officers often in ditches even. Reporter urging people to stay off the roads. We are asking that people stay home. Reporter some have no choice. My ignition is frozen. Reporter this is a onceinalifetime thing. This is something people are going to tell their grand kids and Great Grandkids about. Reporter those stranded by the storm told their stories by social media. Winter tested residents in awe, with the snow piled so high, it towered over some or presented a nearly impossible task. Others swallowed up. For those trying to leave home, it left quite an impression. Others seized the opportunity to get out and play. Here in dunkirk, were getting a break from the snow. We have clear skies here. Theres been a wind shift. Now the heaviest snow, whiteout conditions, 35 miles up the road. Al, its incredible to see where this heavy snow sets up, how long it sits over one area and dumps all that snow and when it decides to move. Absolutely, dylan, lets go to the radar and show you exactly whats happening right now. So, this is western new york. Dylan is about here along i90 in dunkirk. Theres the heavy snow coming across the lake, inundating buffalo right now and will continue to over the next several hours, then shut off and then its going to start up again. Weve got winter storm warnings, lakeeffect snow watches and warnings in western new york. Winter weather advisories for the leeward side of the central and northern great lakes t cuts off the lakeeffect snow for a couple of hours. Then it moves east and brings back that flow across the lakes and so the lakeeffect snow machine kicks in again later this afternoon into this evening. So, over the next 24 hours, youve got about one to three inches to three to six inches, maybe nine inches in the northern part of michigan. But look at what happens as you get to western new york. Another 24 inches, could be three more feet of snow between dunkirk and buffalo and up here in the tughill plateau, east of watertown and pulaski, snowfall rates could be up to three inches per hour. The latter part of this week into the weekend and next week, big system, including tornado possibilities down through texas. Weve got a loot going on over the next several day. Al, thank you very much. As you get ready to drive off to work, the federal government is now demanding that the Auto Industry recall millions of additional cars because of a potential defect with the air bags in those vehicles, linked to dozens of injuries and four deaths in the united states. Nbcs tom costello is outside orlando. Tom, what can you tell snus. Matt, good morning. This is a 2001 honda involved in a frontend accident in september. The Highway Patrol has taken the Steering Wheel and the air bag. Preliminary evidence suggests the air bag exploded sending shrapnel into her neck. She simply lost too much blood and died three days later. Her name was yim tran. She moved here from vietnam to be closer to her sister. She died after colliding with another car. The family is now suing honda and the air bag maker, takata. Theres no doubt that this woman was kill eed by takata. What went forward toward her is metal fragments from the inflater itself. It came from the bag into her neck . Literally straight into her neck. Reporter she died as a result of penetrating injuries to the neck and blunt force trauma, fourth deth in the u. S. That is tied to the air bags. Days after she died, her family received the recall notice from honda. Honda, ford, chrysler, mazda and bmw models dating from 2008 or earlier. Until now, the government was only pushing the recall in hot, humid climates, thought to contribute to the air bag defect. Safety advocates insist that this is long overdue. Here we are, years after 2004, just doing what we should have done a long time ago, which is a National Wide recall of all drivers side air bags. This morning, takata, the air bag maker, is out with a statement. It says its committed to addressing all safety issues promptly but does worry a National Recall will divert air bags from where theyre needed most, state with his high humidity and heat, and that could put lives at risk. Congressional hearings tomorrow into this entire air bag matter. Back to you. Tom costello, thank you very much. Ferguson, missouri, grand jury decision nears in the Michael Brown case. Craig melvin is in ferguson with the very latest. Craig, good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. Still no word on when we might get that decision from the grand jury. I can tell you, i just saw a handful of people, protesters in the area last night also talked to some Business Owners and citizens as well. Many of those folks continue to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Whats happening in ferguson right now reporter from talk radio to freezing protest lines, its the topic of conversation for a town on edge. Its kind of nerveracking, day after day. And i will faithfully reporter on tuesday, governor jay nixon swore in members to deal with issues like poverty and policing in ferguson. He defended his decision to preemptively declare a state of emergency and call up the National Guard. 100 of the people being save and 100 of the people given the right to speak. Reporter some worry it could trigger the same kind of violence sparked in august days after the Michael Brown shooting. Back then, some area schools were closed for six days. This time, educators are planning online courses while residents are stocking up. Blankets in the cars. I mean, just you just never know if theyre going to block off streets and were going to be stranded. Reporter local shops like this beauty salon boarded up, but open for business. Very, very stressful. Reporter Charles Davis refuses to board up Ferguson Burger and bar. I notice right now you are one of two businesses not boarded up. Correct. Reporter why . Im putting trust in my community. Reporter a community, once again, in the national spotlight. So we do know that grand jurors heard more evidence on tuesday. At this point, we still do not know how much notice this community is going to be given once a decision has been reached. The ninemember grand jury panel are considering a range of charges, everything from firstdegree murder to manslaughter to no charges at all. Matt, savannah . Craig melvin, thanks. Were learning a lot more about that chilling attack in israel. Worshippers now returning back to that jerusalem synagogue this morning where five people were killed in that savage terror attack by two palestinian men on tuesday. Bill neely is in jerusalem with the very latest. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie. From a city still reeling from a massac massacre, the worst here in six years and fearful, braced really for more trouble, fearful that there could be more copycat attacks. At the synagogue where many survived a mass murder, they prayed again this morning. Bullet holes the only reminder of the horror here that took the lives of four worshippers. They have been buried. The fear here remains. And the grief. Three of the dead were american. One the son of a prominent family of boston rabbis. Israels prime minister, demolition of a home of a palestinian involved in a previous attack. Yesterdays killings were carried out by two cousins, who police say had no criminal record and acted alone. They were shot dead by police. One of the policeman hit in the gun battle later died of his injuries. Clashes between police and protesters followed the attack. But the violence that has scarred jerusalem for months now is random. Israeli authorities are struggling to find ring leaders and to contain it. Well, there is increased security here. More helicopters, more concrete barriers, more police in palestinian areas, but doubts, too, all that will do any good. There are fears here this is slowly turning from a political conflict into a religious one. Natalie . Bill neely in jerusalem for us. Thank you, bill.

Bill cosby is facing a new highprofile allegation of sex scandal this morning. Overnight netflix announced it was delthe launch of his lat standup routine. Bill cosby is fighting back. How dare you take advantage of me. Reporter after former supermodel and tv host Janet Dickerson said back in 1982 she visited cosby in lake tahoe. After dinner, she says, the comedian gave her wine and a pill. I remember before i passed out that i had been sexually assaulted by this man. The last thing i remember was bill cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And i remember a lot of pain. Reporter in a statement to nbc news, cosbys lawyer says that story was a complete lie. They say she contradicted it in her 2002 book and in an interview with the new York Observer when she said cosby blew her off when she at any time want to sleep with him. She is now the third woman in recent days to accuse the 77yearold of sexual assault. After video of standup comedian Hannibal Burris calling him a rapist last month went viral. Cosbys lawyer said they would not dignify decadeold allegations with a response. Now a routine thats also gone viral where cosby joked about drugging some women. Crazy mary, put something in her drink. I want you to do the best you can. Reporter no criminal charges have been filed against the man known to many as the dad on the cosby show. I was embarrassed and ashamed. Reporter now facing his most highprofile accuser yet. I think right now, everything bill cosby has ever done is going to be reexamined and looked at anew. Obviously, it doesnt suggest guilt in any way, but it now people are starting to look at him through a different lens. Nbc news reached out to harper collins, the publisher of dickensons 2002 book. They werent able to verify anything in her book. Gakback to you. Gabe gutierrez, thank you very much. You are collecting snow pictures. Pivoting back to the weather. Mr. Roker referred to the hash tag weve got going on. So many of you sent in pictures of the east coast slam with up to four feet in 24 hours. As al roker reported, its not over. Just for perspective, pictures speak a thousand words. A still image says so much. Follow along. Here we go. Katie, before and after in buffalo. Wow isnt that incredible . Crazy. The this is a fun one here. Opened his door to a wall of snow so he made a beer refrigerator. Thats how you spend a snow day. I see some cuervo down there. It looks like a good time. We will all be visiting philip. The cannonball. Look at the snowballative different sort. Leaps, in the air, boom and peeks out at the bottom. Just make sure you know whats underneath. And then dal sent us this. Come on. Out in california. Come on, dal. Rub it in. This is a friend room. Dont do this to us. Keep your posts coming using the today weather. Remember that shot i told you about in buffalo . Yes. Lets put it up. Wgrz, buffalo, new york. A few minutes ago, you couldnt even see that building. No. The tower was completely blocked by the snow coming down. Clearing up a little bit but you said thats going to happen, kind of move in bands. You never know where its going to be. Coming up, will he ever fully recover . Tracy morgans ondwg struggle five months after he was involved in a deadly car accident. More dirty hotel secrets. Im jeff rossen. Come with me. We are checking into hotel rooms across the country and we brought a microbiologist along, swabbing every surface she can find. Whats safe to touch . And one of these. The results coming up. The trick is to check in with a microbiologist. This is today on nbc. Womaand the way it made me chronic feel,ipation, the discomfort, the bloating, the straining. Id just felt this way for too long. So i finally talked to my doctor about my symptoms. Id tried laxatives before. He prescribed Amitiza Lubiprostone for my chronic constipation. It works differently than laxatives. Man amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating, abdominal discomfort, hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. Dont take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage or severe diarrhea. Tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Woman amitiza helped me find relief from my chronic constipation. Ask your doctor if amitiza is right for you. Coming up, how would you react . The adorable way one dad catches his looking for one of these . Yoplait. Smooth, creamy, and craved by the whole family. Let us be lovers, well marry our fortunes together ive got some real estate here in my bag it took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw ive come to look for america even if its your last one, always share the softness of kleenex tissues. Its about getting to the finish line. In life, its how you get there that matters most. Like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. My doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. So he talked to me about xarelto®. Xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. For a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. Ask your doctor about xarelto® today. Its 7 26. Good morning, everyone. Im vai sikahema. Lets get our first alert forecast from meteorologist bill henley.

In my freshly madeup room. The question, whats already lurking all around me . We called in this microbiologist, dr. Louisa eichner, helping us to expose all those germs. We checked into five Top Hotel Chains all over the country. Our doctor swabbing everything from the light switches to the phones to the remote, even the night stand. Whats the cleanest and whats the dirtiest . To find out, she is using this meter to get an instant bacteria count. Anything over 100 is considered a fail. Lets test this light switch. Well place it into the meter to get our reading. Remember, the lower the number, the cleaner it is. A six . A six. This light switch is actually really clean. Reporter good news. All the light switches we tested came in the cleanest. The alarm clocks and night stands also pretty good. Another clean night stand. Reporter they all passed. But if you want to share the good news, i wouldnt use the phone. This is a very filthy phone. Reporter in fact, at nearly every hotel the phones were teaming with bacteria. 20, another high number. Another phone fail. Reporter on yet another phone, the level of germs more than three times the limit. Why are so many of these phones dirty . People touch them a lot and they are not surfaces that are usually cleaned by the maids. Reporter if you think thats gross, check this out. All right. Let me shut the light out here. You have a uv light. This will allow us to look for stains that we normally wouldnt detect with the human eye. Reporter we found something, not sure what, splattered all over a sofa. Look at this curtain. Wow, this is quite a stain here. That is disgusting. What is that . It could be bodily fluids. Put on the lights real quick. You cant see that. That is incredible. Exactly. Reporter you cant see it at all. You would have no idea. Even that grossness cant compare to the single dirtiest thing we tested. Brace yourselves the tv Remote Control. Wow this Remote Control is extremely dirty. Reporter all of them, every si single remote, with skyhigh levels of bacteria. Wow reporter thats the highest number that we have seen in any of the hotels. So we sent the samples from the remotes for further testing. Okay. Brace yourselves again. These green metallic colonies are e. Coli and this indicates there is fecal contamination on the control. Reporter and even worse mrsa on another. Yes, mrsa, a highly contagious, dangerous bacteria, resistant to most antibiotics that can cause painful skin infections. The thing about germs is that we cant see them but they are there and they can make us sick. The Hotel Industry group told us ensuring a clean and comfortable environment is their top priority and they often review and update housekeeping protocols. Experts say there are three things you can do right now when you get into the hotel room. Wash your hands, use Hand Sanitizer and bring disinfectant wipes. I do that. Thank goodness. All americans thankful for that. And rub everything down. Here is another tip. In the bathroom, they fold over into a triangle, dont use that.

Dunkirk, new york, in as much as six feet of snow. Reporter thats right, natalie, up to six feet of snow fell in western new york. Most of that falling in just a 24hour period. We saw snowfall rates yesterday falling at four inches per hour at times as it rushed in off the great lakes. Cars, homes, nearly everything just buried in the snow. We saw vehicles stranded right on the roads, including the niagara Womens Basketball team stuck on the bus for 20 hours. Now new yorks governor has declared a state of emergency and has now called in the National Guard to help with all the cleanup here because it is a lot of snow. Such an incredible amount. Its hard to believe that even more snow is in the forecast. Not good news there. Dylan dreyer in dunkirk, new york. Thanks. The governor is defending his decision to declare a state of emergency and call in the National Guard before the grand jury renders its decision in the shooting death of Michael Brown. It was all about keeping people safe and protecting the rights of those who want to protest peacefully. A special commission to explore issues raised by the shooting such as poverty and policing.

Do you realize when you text, four bowling balls on your head. What . Yes. The pressure is equal to 60 pounds. Aka, four bowling balls. What about what the front end of your car looks like after you there you go. And the rear end of the car in front of you. Thats more appropriate than the five bowling balls. Thats what the research says. Over a long period of time that can do a lot of damage to you. I dont think it takes that long. Four bowling balls, thats heavy. How long have you been married . 34 year. But it feels like. It feels like 34 years. Feels like ten bowling balls. Around your neck . Most ridiculous conversation ever. Were not even done yet. Here is something you havent had to deal with in a while. Go ahead. Do you think its a good idea to take a date, someone youre dating, thats new in your life, home for thanksgiving dinner . No. Absolutely not. If they have no family, i guess its okay f a guy has no family of his own to go to. A drifter. But you think its a good idea . Doesnt it kind of send a message that its very serious if youre exposing that person to your family . Exposing . I wouldnt expose the person to my family. If your family are nudists, that would be a good idea. It would be really serious. What about you guys . I think its a bad idea unless its really serious. First time i went home to meet joes parents was thanksgiving, so and you married him. And it was serious. I think it was sending the sign. On a first date, i dont think its right. Probably not a good move. Want to come over for dinner . Isnt thanksgiving one of the most dysfunctional family days on the calendar . Youre telling your date, this is my family. What you signed up for. If they come back, you know thats a keeper. Exactly. We asked on our facebook page, do you think you should bring home a date for thanksgiving . 76 said yes. 24 said no not a good idea. As long as your dad doesnt do this. You know your dad does that with the hand right here . Oh as long as dad doesnt do that, i think youre okay. Do that again. No, im just kidding. No, no, no. All right. Jay, are you not really. Not so much anymore. This is the most absurd trending segment in what is this one . Photos of baby whose bear a striking resemblance to certain celebrities. Former snl star chris farley. Look at that little baby. Pretty good. The next one. Sir ewan mcgowan. Gandolf. Five bowling balls. And this baby looking like the Princess Bride star. Phenomenal. The eyebrows are exact. He really is. One more baby to show you. You want to guess who it is. Cue the baby. Thats got to be jay leno. Thats me. Yes, it is. I see the chin. And your hair. Amazing hair. Its black and white. That shows you how old i am. Adorable. What happened . I dont know. How did you enjoy your first trending segment . Yeah, this is really something. Yeah, yeah. When i used to go on jays show he would say i really like that trending segment. Until now. Until now. One day i actually see it in play, i realize but you like with the bowling ball, it was downhill after that. Thats whats trending today. Really . Jay will stick around to tell us about a big surprise for one soldier. It is a big surprise. Well get into that. Up were back with the People Magazine cover we look forward to. People went down under to find him, socalled awesome aussie, Chris Hemsworth. And julie is the editor of people. Love me some thor. Tell me about this choice. His career is hotter than ever. In january he will battle a whale. Of course, as thor, returning in avengers. Hes just physically perfect. I dont know how to describe it. Do you do a lot of Scientific Research to determine who is the sexiest man alive . I will say we definitely have our favorites. Theres a lot of back and forth. But when his name kind of bubbled to the surface, there wasnt a Single Person that objected to this choice. He has the two brothers, too, by the way. Not shabby. Its a good gene pool, definitely. Theyre all in the business. Theyre all in the business. Hes a family man. Married younger, to hollywood standards. When he met his wife he said he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and so he wanted to start soon. Thats sexy. Other guys on the list. Chris pratt. Who had a huge summer, guardians of the galaxy. He appreciates the fact that he doesnt have to although i wouldnt mind if he was waiting my table. And how about alba . We asked a lot of leading men what was their biggest fear . And he said waking up in the afterlife and realizing he cant fulfill his dreams terrifies him. You have the right scruff. Guys with facial hair, which were partial to here around the today show. I like seeing him this way. People say he looks older with the scruff. He uses diesel fuel and brillo pads to keep it in shape and, of course kerry cruz. He pulls off the stumbly goatee. Have you seen willie geist . Does he have a shot at it next year . All the today show guys have a shot at it next year. You are legally required to say that. Now our continuing series, shine a light. Back in october, al and jay went over to afghanistan for a special today show uso tour for service men and Service Women and an idea can came out of that. Al was the inspiration for this really. I thank you for that. I wanted to do something a little bit different. You know, everybody helps the soldiers certainly with medical issues and all those sort of important things, but sometimes that can be like getting socks for christmas, you know. You want to give them something thats fun, something that has nothing to do with what happened to them and just takes them to a little different place. And this soldier was really surprised. Take a look. Like the old days. Here we go. Yeah when i travel to entertain the troops, the best part . Besides an audience thats starved for laughs you want a clean one or dirty one . Its the few minutes i get to spend with each soldier. Come on, kids, meet santa. Whos next . Behind every handshake, every hello is a great kid and i wanted to introduce the world to one of them. We sort of took all these Wounded Warriors and did kind of a lottery and reached in and picked a soldier at random to do something for him and hopefully it expresses what we want to do for all soldiers. If you called corporal laverge a hero, he would laugh. He doesnt consider himself a hero, but he is to guys like us. Reporter the armys infantry. How has your arm been doing since the surgery . Its been hurting quite a bit worse. He was on foot patrol in the streets of afghanistan when this happened. We were going to talk to different people and walking back out on the street and a suicide bomber drove up on a motorcycle and detonated himself. His two buddies standing next to him never made it home. Even after ten surgeries to piece him back together, the pain is still constant. Foot, left leg, shrapnel that went into my arm. Broke off a couple of bones and shattered my i also had a traumatic brain injury which has led to a lot of memory problems. When youre a soldier i think you get this feeling youre all alone and the rest of the country doesnt care. When people take a moment to stop and go, hey, you, come here. Thank you very much, i think it does something for them. Hi, guys. Hey, man. Im jay. In the middle of a game here. I dont want to interrupt. Many of the soldiers i meet are barely out of their teens. In a lot of ways, were worlds apart, but i found some common ground. Somebodys got some cool muscle cars. I took him and some of his friends off base for a little bit of what i call a horsepower field trip. When i was a kid this was the hottest car out there, gto. How about modern muscle cars, you guys have any experience . Just a little bit, driving one of the newer eer camaros. So you like driving fast . Zblfr now and then. I brought something i thought you might find interesting to drive. Let me go get it. Okay. Whoa wow you guys heard about this . Yeah. Thats a hellcat, man. For muscle car lovers, this is the newest thing from dodge. You want to go for a ride . Yeah. Hop in. Ill take you for a ride. Being touted as the most powerful muscle car ever. Ever been in anything with 700 horsepower . Not until a couple of seconds ago. Who are we go. But well be the judge of that. Tell me when to step on it. Step on it. Goes pretty good, huh . Feels like it will get up there. Uhoh, theres a sheriff. Hi, sheriff. Hes a veteran, your honor want to give it a try . Hell, yeah. Lets see how soldier boy doe does. This ought to be fun. Im starting to think this was the stupidest idea ive ever had. Ahh come on now. I feel like were shooting a commercial, on an empty road, with a crazy driver you dont want to crash into an amish guy in a horse and buggy. That would be like the two cultures coming to a thats nou thats a bad commercial. Thats a bad commercial. Chick sben half rack rib. That sounds good. This looks good. What made you sign up . Some people want to be a race car driver or policeman, fireman and i wanted to be an army guy. Looks like youre going to make a full recovery, huh . Mmm still got a lot of aches and pains . Yeah. Where im sitting right now, i dont know exactly how well ill recover. Do you ever get discouraged . Every now and then, but having good friends and family members definitely helps. Well, we certainly appreciate all your service, man. I cant imagine what it would be like. I cant imagine being on tv every day. Well, the pay is better. Going to be tough going back to that tahoe . Yeah. Just not ever going to drive the same again. Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah. No problem. Cool. So what did you think . That was awesome. It was a lot of fun, wasnt it . Yeah, i wouldnt mind having one of these. Its yours. Really . Its yours. Oh, man thats awesome. Thank you. Thank you, man. America loves you. Thank you, buddy. Thanks, jay. Have a lot of fun. Dont get ni any tickets. I cant promise that now. Thanks a lot. Oh, man. So, sew nice. That was really fun.

Ill be back tomorrow to introduce you to two more finalists and you can start voting on today. Com. I told you yesterday you had the best assignment this week, hands down. So great to hang out with kind kids. It sure is. And a kind woman, beth stern, with an Important Message behind this kitty invasion we have going on. First this is today on nbc. Back at 8 37. 90 of pet owners consider their pet to be a member of their family. In that case, beth stern lives with a family of 12. Shes a best selling author, best selling book yoda the ups and downs before we get to yoda and this cute one on your lap, where did this love of animals come from . Childhood . I think its in my blood. We rescued cats growing up, saved the wildlife in our yard. I never wanted to have kids, matt. I only ever wanted to have pets. Full disclosure, im at your house a lot with you and howard. You walk in the door. You should have a playlist, because the faces are all different. Is that maxie . No. Bella is blind. Leon is obese. Charlie i mean, they all have special problems. They have stories. All of my cats have stories and ive adopted them all as adults. They all have their issues. You make them great. You make them hip. You make kittens and adopted pets hip. Crazy cat lady. Tell me the story of yoda. I had the pleasure of meeting yoda. Such a wonderful soul. We adopted him from north Shore Animal League. He was in a cage there way too long. We soon found out hes in heart failure, has three to six months to live. Howard and i decided were going to love this cat till his last day. I foster kittens, as you know. The foster room is filled with kitt kittens, yoda walks down the hallway and something miraculous happens. He took over as their papa, started grooming them, making sure they ate. They all slept on him. Seven litters later, hes still working. Ive taken him to the vet three times. His heart has gotten progressively stronger. As of last week hes officially off his heart meds. The kittens healed my cat. Thats one of the messages in this book. A heart filled with hope and love and purpose can make you happy. Can go from a sad heart to a happy heart. We didnt want to could that in a kids book, say he was dying. It went from a sad heart to a happy heart. His eyes were wide. His tail perks up and he loves kittens. By the way, if anyone thinks your husband, howard yes, that howard is at an arms length from these kittens, he is the biggest mush ball when it comes to animals. Very passionate. 100 of the proceeds are going beyond Furry Friends and to north Shore Animal League of americas shelter, cagefree has been habitat. Because were getting to thanksgiving, christmas and hanukkah after that, you see a lot of people around the holidays giving kittens and puppies as gifts. Do not do it. It should be a decision that the family makes. Maybe thats the gift. Lets do this together. Lets go to a shelter. Lets adopt. Putting an animal in a box and unwrapping him for a holiday, the person has to be ready for this endeavor. This is a lifelong commitment when you bring an animal into your house. So many animals given as gifts are brought back to shelters because people havent assessed their lifestyles. Theyre giving them away and not realizing what it entails. Youve done so much to find happy homes for kittens like this. We congratulate you on this. This book about yoda is also a great message for kids. Congrats on that as well. Thank you, matt. Thank you, beth. The book is yoda, the story of a cat and his kittens. Up next, a reallife Jurassic Park. We take you to the place where one day it could be possible. First on a wednesday morning, this is today on nbc. Its 8 44. Tree in the background. Well light that thing up on december 3rd. But were going to take a look now at some of the most fascinating and colossal creatures ever to roam earth. In fact, you could own one. Keir simmons has that story. Keir, good morning. Reporter good morning. Look at this monster. This is monte the mammoth. He is for sale at the auctions in england. Of course, more than 10,000 years ago, animals like this roamed countries like russia. Be afraid. Because in a locked room beneath st. Petersburg is the remains of an ancient giant found in sigh beera last year. Thats the head of the mammoth. The latest discovery in a unique Russian Museum of mammoths. Look at the size of this beast. Yeah, sure. Reporter colossal creatures exextinct for thousands of y r years. Just imagine one of these coming toward you. Yes. Reporter the mammoths goto guy, veteran of many expeditions to sigh beera, digging them up, frozen in the ice. Discoveries in most recent years, including this mammoth. Looks very, very fresh. Reporter that made headlines around the world. Its very rare. Reporter prehistoric people brought to life in the movie 10,000 b. C. Hunted the mammoth for its meat and fur and still theyre hunted, for their tusks. On remote siberian islands, men search for ice age ivory. You have to be lucky to find them, says this hunter. A single tusk like this is worth 100,000 on the black market. While scientists hunt mammoths, too, looking for intact dna in blood and hair, to crack the mammoths genetic code, other scientists in japan and korea are going even further, trying to bring a prehistoric giant back to life. If science does manage to clone a mammoth, the russians even have a place to put it. You would like to see thousands of these roaming russia again . Yes, of course.

This morning were kicking off a new series called todays take on thanksgiving favorites where each of us select a thanksgiving dish. Immediately an issue arose with this contest. Both willie and i chose the same thing which set off a feud, mashed potatoes, delicacy close to both our heart. No lumps, no bumps. You want to taste the bumps, wonder are these even cooked . Its not my recipe but it belongs to barefoot contessa. Shes my woman crush wednesday every day of the week. I think i started maybing her potatoes about three years ago. And my mom was actually impressed. My favorite thanksgiving dish are my dads mashed potatoes. When i asked, he said throw in potatoes. Important. Four sticks of butter, cream and anything else that will fill your arteries. Put your potatoes in. Once theyre boiled and out comes perfection. You just mash them and cook them. Pretty simple and pretty delicious. Thats like yearround happiness, fluffy, creamy happiness. You only make these once a year for Health Reasons mostly. If you had them more than once, would you have to seek the attention of a physician. Mmm. Mmm. Thats it. Those are the ones. I mean, come on. There is Nothing Better than this. And for dessert, lipitor. All right. Enough leadin. Lets do this thing. I love this recipe. It is basically cream and butter. Yeah. Fat with a couple of potatoes thrown in. I called my own man. I said were doing a segment. Whats the recipe . He said, ha, theres no recipe. As much butter that you can find at your local store. How much butter is that . A lot. Four sticks. Heavy cream up in there. Dump in your taters. These are cooked but its called mashed potatoes. Theyre not creamed potatoes. They get mashed up. Theres some lumps in there. You want it lumpy. You like it lumpy. Natalie says she likes lumpy. Im not a lumpy girl. You want to taste those pats of butter. Youre not a lumpy girl . I have lady lumps but just make it as rich and thick as you possibly can. You do like the gravy. Willie goes for the gravy and willies dad, mr. Geist, is a hero of mine as well, as is ina. I would have used his recipe, had i not fallen in love with ina. You dont use one of these . I put mine in the Food Processor. Putting it in the Food Processor kicks up the starch too much and that paste makes the because, obviously, potatoes have starch. It makes it too pasty. You thought about this much more than i have. Look at the magic coming from i never heardative reiser until i got one of inas books and bought it. I dont know. Like mr. Geist, ina calls for warm butter, though. Not as much.

Announcer from nbc news, this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hello everybody. Welcome to one of our favorite days, wines day wednesday, november 19th. Its otherwise known as my stuff day. Its your stuff day. We have a great show today. Who do we have . We had Tori Spelling on on monday. Her husband dean didnt want to come on with her. For some reason they wanted to go on separately. Dean is going to speak with us today. He did say he didnt want to do more press, but hes going to come on and explain it on tv. Okay. Also beth stearns is here, she and her husband howard do so much for these long island whats it called . North Shore Animal League. Whats also awesome about her is just, i dont know, everything in general. Shes a very sunny person, and shes got a new Childrens Book inspired by one of the cats she adopted. People magazine has released its big issue, sexiest man alive. I dont always agree with them. This one, seems like there are no doubters. No, huhuh. The hunk that has one title is Chris Hemsworth. Yes. These other two guys are i think inside the magazine. Were going to reveal them later. You notice something about him that is just weird. I dont know what theyre thinking, but it would be fascinating to know what theyre thinking. Why am i not on the cover . Exactly. When it was announced franks book the glory game was going to be made into a film by hbo, hopefully. Well see. As i looked at chris, i dont think anybody today is as gorgeous as frank was in his 20s. I think this guy might be young frank gifford. I think that is drop dead good casting. I think you hit jackpot. Yes. Okay, done. A fabulous athlete, too. You cant make a sports thats a great idea. By the way, youre right. That split screen proved it. Let me know if you think somebody else would be even better but i dont think so. Words of wisdom. Are you ready . Here you go. Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you arent. Margaret thatcher totally true. Last night, a great event called musicians on call, guitar players, singers and stuff who go to hospital rooms an sing for kids. Last night was the 15th anniversary, they honored two great people, Kelly Clarkson was honored. She does it a lot. A great guy named charlie walk. The guy in the hat begged me not to cut him out of the picture. So hes in he actually introduced Kelly Clarkson. We had a lot of fun. Rosanna was there . Great. Her hand, she fell when she was at the rink here and really hurt herself. Shes getting better. Are we going to talk about somebody else who hurt themselves . Yes, lets give a shout out to j. Lo. Guess what happened . This book is now a New York Times bestseller, number five. After one week in sales, hard cover. Good for her. We helped a little bit with that one. Here is the top five. Lets talk about bono. We heard about the mishap on the plane where the door flew open and luggage went flying. Then we heard he had a bicycle accident. I hadnt heard at all until today the severity of it. He was supposed to be on fallon all week, they canceled the whole week. That seemed a little weird. They said he had a bike accident. Rolling stone released the details, and we heard about them this morning. It was shocking. This is what happened, he frank toured the orbit of his left eye. I dont know what that means but that cant be good. He fractured three fractures on his Left Shoulder blade. Fractured his left arm, shattering the bone in six different places. The bone actually tore through his skin. Repaired in a fivehour surgery with three metal plates and 18 screws. Then surgery to repair a fracture on his left hand. The doctors say hell need a lot of progressive therapy. They expect a full recovery. So sorry to hear that. I wondered if he was wearing a helmet. Somebody showed us a picture from the day this happened. Were not sure if that was the day. But he was wearing a helmet in that picture. I guess he was trying to avoid another bike rider. The doctors called it a high energy bike accident. High energy seems a strange term for it. Sounds like hes going quickly. Thats what it sounds like. We wish him all the best. If youre paging through teen vogue and you saw in young 13yearold girl we wondered if she looks familiar. Her name kaya gerber. She is the daughter of cindy crawford. And randy gerber. Two beautiful specimens. Her First Official photo shoot. Boy, what you look at them side by side. A huge career ahead of her. Cindy crawford was working as a fulltime model when she was just 16 years old. Kids, its what theyre used to a lot of times. Remember what bette midler told us, her doctor thought she wanted to be a doctor and decided, mom, i want to be an actor. She said she was around it all of her life. Cindy supports her daughters modeling career. But hopes she takes her time and pursues other interests as well because, quote, the world very different now. Thats a tough, tough world. It really is. Very exploitive in many cases on these young girls who have barely been out of their hometowns some of them, already in paris, milan and new york. The voice was on last night. It was down to three people who were the bottom three. What happens is america can save one of these bottom three singers. We e eel show you the bottom three singers and you guys let us know who you think was saved. Lets watch. Jesse sugar and rob. Totally different everybody is. Just great. This is a twitter save. So people at home tweeted. Who do you think made it . Sugar. Sugar is the middle girl with the purple hair. I agree. I think it was sugar. Lets see who america chose. America instantly saved ryan, team gwenn ill see you next monday night on the voice. This is before we went to that, a lot of the young girls vote and hes adorable. Im just surprised. I know hes cute and hes good. Wow, i thought the other girls isnt there a champ still, they can all come back theres one last seat. Everybody that got eliminated, theres a wildcard seat. Somebody will come back. This leaves adam and gwenn with three singers on their teams each. Blake and pharrell each have two. Pharrell is bringing in diana ross. Great idea. We have a video of a dad in england who might be the coolest dad ever. His name is mike and his sons name is jayden, he was stricken with a terrible cancer and given just a year to live. That was when he was just a little baby. Hes lived to basically 5 years old. The dad knows his son loves superheroes. He decided to dress up as his favorite superhero, spiderman. Lets take a look and see what happens. Go stand out a little further. Whoo hey, is that jayden . Are you jayden . Its good to see you, buddy. How old are you . One, two, three, four five. Thats five, right . Thats awesome, little dude. Give me a hug, buddy. Good to see you, man. Thats awesome, little dude. Oh. Thats the most beautiful thing in the world. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Do you notice hes speaking in an american accent so the little boy didnt know it was his dad. He is whats it call. Park athlete. Jumping off the roof is no big deal for him. That was beautiful. Really beautiful. We wish that family all the best. What else have we got . I dont know. I guess were teasing who is coming up next. Toris husband dean is going to be sitting down with us. Hes right there. Well talk to him about the difficulty of fixing a marriage while the cameras are rolling difficulty of fixing a marriage while the cameras are rolling and if this is, indeed, the last for a crowd this big, difficulty of fixing a marriage while the cameras are rolling and if your everyday dishes last will only go so far.

What weve seen is a marriage with more than its share of ups and downs. Earlier this week, tori was here to talk about where the relationship stands. On last nights episode viewers were left wondering if their marriage can actually be saved. Lets take a look. No im not trying to make you look bad to viewers. Thats not my goal here. Youre my husband. I want to continue this relationship after the show is over. I hate to sound like a broken record, but thats where theres a fine line with the show. I dont know if its worth it. All right. Dean is with us today. That was the question that we asked tori when she was here on monday. Biggest question is why are you trying to solve all these problems in front of the tv the camera. A couple reasons was that she said you had a contract which you had to fulfill. She said for her its been cath arartic. I was stunned by that answer. It has for me. Im not poo pooing the show. Ive learned a lot about myself, our relationship. Its been a good process. But as it goes on and continues, its taking a toll on me. Its not good for me. Its different for everybody. If it works for t. , thats great. I think you went on access hollywood or one of those shows and said ive had it, im done. You looked spent, worn out. Almost as if it was a line in the sand and here you are. Here i am. I think that confuses people. Does it . Im done with the show. I want some of my privacy back. I think, you know, ive shared too much of my soul and my demons with strangers. As you know, with that comes positive and negative reactions. Its just not a good space for me. Can tori continue on . Would you want her to continue without you in it with the children unless youre part of the dynamic. If it helps her, absolutely. I support her 100 . When they said tori is on monday and dean is on wednesday, youre together. Weve been going to each others appearances. Why not together . Youve got to talk to our publicist about that. Still dont know the reason for it. Ive come out came out and started doing interviews about the whole situation and not doing the show first. I guess they wanted some elbow room and space for toris first interviews and stuff like that. Again, talk to the publicist. I dont know. Where are you today . Would you say at this point in your marriage youre in a better place than you were a year ago . Absolutely. Youre on the mend . Were in a better place than everment our love is stronger. Were solid, communicating. Were having a fully functional relationship. How are the children . Theyre great. It was weird to see the exwife. When you had your exwife on it seemed like it was picking a scab. Its like thats history that part, and to bring it all back up and have tori have this oneonone with her seemed very strange to me. I thought it was good because tori also talks to her ex, charlie. He didnt want to be filmed. I thought that was a great idea, to give him some closure and her some closure. Is it closed now . Is that a done deal . Thats a done deal. They had a great talk. Has she remarried, your exwife . No, she has not. But having her on the show, it was to discuss coparenting. What i believed, was to talk about coparenting. It just didnt seem to go that way. What kind of feedback are you getting from people on the street who know all your secrets . Really good. We have great fans. Like i said there are haters out there, but our fans are really pulling for us. Theyre very supportive, very vocal on the streets about hang tough, stick it out, ive been there. Do you read all the social media stuff or try to stay away from it . I dont know if youve seen my last bunch of tweets, but i maybe not so gracefully bowed out of social media. I think thats a great idea. We wish you all the best. You know that. Thank you. Thank you for having me on.

Talk to your son or daughter about opportunities in the army. Announcer holiday entertaining on today is brought to you by jc penney. Jingle more bells this holiday season. You jingle more bells. No matter how much you plan pour the perfect thanksgiving dinner, something unexpected always happens to muck it up. To keep you from heading into a tailspin, we brought in the star of hgtvs property virgins, egypt sherrod. How is everything . Everything is wonderful except thanksgiving when you get home with your table cloth what happens . And realize its entirely too short for the table. What do you do, egypt . Number one, i tell everybody buy two or three table cloths because you cannot assume every table cloth fits every table. What did you do sm. I laird them. We have two. You cant see theyre layered here, right . Well, you can. But another quick fix you can do, last minute, stores arent open, grab some shower curtains, layer them underneath. Is that what this is . No. You would go looking for it. I just wondered. So if theres a stain on your table cloth. Happens all the time, especially when youre putting gravy boats on the table. I often take another plate and put it on top and hope no one sees it. What you can also do, run out into your back yard, grab some leaves, throw them on the table, wonderful autumn color. If you spray paint them metallic like ive done there, look at that. You made the name tags. Youre over here, hoda. You grab a leave and you can write the names and use them as place cards. Lets pretend youre about to sit down to dinner and the doorbell rings, extra guests. Hoda showed up with their boyfriend and they werent invited. They never call. On thanksgiving they just show snup. People do. What you should always do is expect more. If youre expecting eight, cook for ten to 12. Make sure you have place settings to accommodate. Here is the deal, if you dont have enough plates and you dont have enough glasses which often happens, sometimes with firsttime home buyers, theyre not ready, you mix and match. With interior design now, you dont want to be too matchy matchy. Same thing with the table setting. Add a little personality. Hoda, help me out. Grab some colorful plates, put them at the head of the table like this. If you dont have enough wine glasses. Thats a tragedy. What i tend to do, i break them on the way, so i never have enough. You use mason jars . Your refrigerator is a resource. Thats what with my mamma always says. Look inside for jam jars, jelly jars, pickle jars. Empty everything out, wash it out. Put those at the heads of the table. What about the napkin rings . What if you dont have enough of those . Who does . Just look for some string. Except for kathie lee. Who has everything. Shes always prepared. She is. If you find string around the house or ribbon. If you have a little girl who has decorative hair bows, you can add those on like so. Take a look. You would think this is real silverware. This is the plastic stuff, 2. 99 a box. Oh, my gosh. You dont have to wash the dishes when youre done. Its an easy cleanup as well.
