>> 17 years ago right here on the plaza. we got the picture right here. >> i had in ug to doed with with the kids. i'm glad it worked out. i'm glad they are, too. let's head back inside to matt. >> thank you very much. this week marks the 40th anniversary of the fall of saigon. for all intents and purposes the end of the vietnam war. it was a pivotal moment in world and u.s. history. tom brokaw is here to share that. good morning to see you. >> you have as to remember what it was in america. we went through watergate, for example, gerald ford was a new president the war had been going on for 15 years. then the chaos of the ending of that war was beyond traumatic. so i kind of reflected on that as the war. >> let's take a look. >> reporter: no american war had ended in such painful humiliation. 15 eye of american blood and treasure came to this. the u.s. embassy overrun, the communist north triumphant. here at the vietnam memorial wall in washington there are 58 o 300 names and for those people and their families the way the war ended 48 years ago was particularly tragic. for 15 years, it was war in the jungles. in the air. in prison catches andmps. at home on the campuses on the political fields of battle. >> i will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your president. >> reporter: it brought down one president from within his own party and ignited a fiery contest between senators mccarthy and robert kennedy for the democratic nomination. but bobby didn't make it to the convention. he was murdered by a palestinian fanatic. not too long before dr. king was murdered by a racist excon. 1968 was a violent and bloody year in vietnam and here at home. while at the same time richard nixon arose from the political past to build a new republican party in the south and west. to stay the course in vietnam, while hubert humphrey tried to hold the democrats together and alabama's racist governor try id to divide them. nixon won an escalated the war on the ground and in theary. the anti-war demonstrations escalated and have little impact on nixon and kissinger. we were a country unhinged and deeply divided. nixon crushed him. peace talks opened in paris, but the north knew it had a stronger hand and played tough. while the american role dwindled it did not end until this april, 1975 the north took the south to a chaotic, bloody shameful end. it was finally over. >> tom, in just a couple of minutes, it's hard to capture the turbulence and division present in this country at that time. going back to that vietnam war memorial in washington is an incredibly moving experience. >> for so many young people that's all they know about the war. i have a friend on that wall. i never fail to go by and touch his name. it was very emotional for me. he was a marine captain. he believed in the war as so many of the people who were serving there and died there did as well. i pleaded with him not to go back but he was a very strong old man. he went back and paid for it for his life. >> thank you for putting events 40 years later into perspective. thanks very much good to see you. and we are back in a moment this is "today" on nbc. on comedienne amy schumer. she was just named "time's" most 100 famous people. >> the feature film "trainwreck" will premier this summer. she wrote the screen play and has a role. we visited the scene for an exclusive look. >> i think you butt dialled me. >> no i dimed you with your fingers. >> what did she say? >> her film may be called "trainwreck" don't let it fool you. amy schumer is at the top of her game. she teamed up with the famed director judd apatow. and as the story goes the movie came about in part because of the infamous l.a. traffic. so the rumor is that he heard you on howard stern and decided, there is something really funny here. so is this another example of howard stern making the planet a better place to live? >> definitely i am the first woman to leave howard stern without regreting it. >> is it true? >> it was true. i was sitting in my car in traffic and amy is really warm and funny and brutally honest. she was talking about her family and relationship issues. i thought oh lied like to see her in a movie. >> soon we all can see that movie. amy plays a commitment fooeb phobic writer she falls for his best friend and amy says her role mimics her real life. >> amy, what happened? did church let out early? >> he has a style, you will be in the middle of the take he'll yell out a line. try it this way or how about this line? is this funny? >> well what types of activities do people do? >> how do you take to that as someone who honed the stand-up craft so well over a period of time? >> it's like a security blanket that is like unfair to get to have and it's i'm spoiled by it. hopefully, i'll work again and i'll be like why is no one giving me ideas? i just have to have my own ideas? >> those ideas now being called fresh, smart, new, have been honed on the comedy circuit for nearly a decade. the 33-year-old native new yorker has a show on comedy central "inside amy schumer" one of the network's biggest hit, which recently picked up a peabody and a fourth season. some say her fame could eclipse her cousin's wrong time senator chuck schumer. it's safe to say it would raise eyebrows in the halls of congress. she has been dubbed the sex comic, seeker and tackling sensitive issues. >> what if the girl says yes and changes her mind out of nowhere, like a crazy person. >> you got to stop. >> do not stop. >> she's a proud feminist comic who holds back nothing. >> you have been called hilariously dirty. >> you accept my terms. >> is she? >> she's dirty. i brought my daughter to the comedy cellar to see amy and i had forgotten the content of amy's act. let's just say my daughter learned things. >> yes. she came early. honestly when people say that i'm dirty talk about sex a lot. i don't feel i talk about it any more than is normal i think because i am a woman that people notice it more. i think, you know i'll get up in a 15-minute set, have one joke about sex. they're still, like the sex comic. a guy will come up and literally take his [ bleep ] out on stage. he's aly theer. let's give him a show. i don't feel dirty, i talk about my truth. >> i'm imagining if that has a shot of making it on morning tv. >> come on. you asked, matt lauer. >> i have to say i don't remember you doing one dirty joke from a set. >> wen well when you are there and your kids are there i want to show them. >> she's showing off. >> thank you. >> we will talk to those other stars of "trainwreck" bill haider and lebron james. the pictures will be released july 17th. >> i'm a big fan of amy's. >> the sex comic. >> to her point i wonder is a girl count versus a content count anyway she's a star. up next natalie gets ready for the billboard latin music awards with marc anthony. first this is "today" on nbc. it's 8:48. we are back with "viva today" our week long celebration of the heritage. >> natalie is going to be a presenter and caught up with one of this year's big nominees marc anthony. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. that's right, marc anthony is performing. he is also a finalist in several category including artist of the year. he sold over 12 million albums world wide. don't call him a crossover artist. he says he is a proud american raised on latin music. i caught up with him in miami in a place he calls his sanctuary. you live like right there, right?

>> it's become the status quo. crossover, from where? i was born 132nd avenue in manhattan, new york city. so i'm crossing over? in other words, you don't belong here but it's good enough for us to accept. i just never got that. i don't recognize it. >> reporter: marc started singing not long after he started to walk. when did you start playing? when did you start singing? >> i was a baby. literally a baby. i was three-years-old, i started singing with my father. i'm a good mimic. i'd imitate my father singing these songs about love lost ♪ i'm like what does this 3-year-old she did what to you?

was crazy, kichy, scary. it felt like a portal in kurt's mind as soon as i said it i said this is like a blue print for the movie. think of "montage of heck" most are from the outside in. this is a movie told from the inside out. there has been so many people trying to understand kurt and investigate kurt and talk to his friends. but if you really want to understand kurt we felt you need eto'o
