He hated funerals, he hated boxes, he hated to be put in boxes, he hated to get in an elevator. So we played Frank Sinatra all day long and we partied and the only criteria was if you were there you had to be somebody he adored so it kept it nice and small. You were one of them, hoda. You were there. They told me at the time they were going to do this and theyve Just Announced theyre going to honor frank and ann meara, the patriarch of the wonderful meara family and the widow of the giants wellington meara on their uniform this is season. And theyll have number 16 on their helmets to honor frank. And well be meeting some time in the future about doing some sort of a not a service, we cant call it that or frank will boomerang it. Some way to celebrate franks life that the public can come to. Because especially seeing 19 Million People react yesterday, i think we could fill up a big hall with people who loved frank and i would like to do so. A lot of you have been asking me. We dont know what it looks like but we hope youll be a part of it when we do. So thank you, everybody. Today we have a great singer, shes so much fun and we talked about her a minute ago, Rachel Platten. And her song is one of those songs i remember when the song brave came out and it sort of moved people in a way that songs rarely they do on rare occasion. Well her song fight song is doing that same kind of thing. Hospitals have been embracing this song as their anthem so the staff and patients of texas Childrens Hospital are embracing it. Take a look. This is my fight song, take back my life song right now ill be strong, ill play my fight song and i dont really care if nobody else believes because i still got a lot of fight left in me a great message, absolutely. No matter what youre going through in your life this is one of those songs that when you think youre hanging on a thin string this song will help. And theyve been doing in the other hospitals around the country. I think we should mash it up with Something Else and do another video. I think that might be in order. This is the Childrens Hospitals of the kings daughters in norfolk, virginia. There are lots of those arnold. Well, we are excited because of a big time if new yorn. Look what we have h ae. These are the official mens and womens single trow fist. We have them. Who gets the big one . Who gets the little one . Well this is back from 1968. We said the womens trophy is the dinky one . However, theres a tradition, they cant just discard a trophy. In the 60s maybe they thought women deserved afpuny trophy. Well, they got tons less monies. But last years winner, can you think about who they were . Its like the oscars. You think well who won last year . You might catch the womans name, serena williams, but do you remember the man . Who does . Anybody in our studio. Anyone remembers the man, kathie lee will give them a hundred dollars. What . No, its not djokovic. No, its not nadal. Its another croatian though. Here it, is marin filic. He was the first croatian tennis player to ever win the u. S. Open. Then what happened . Like a one hit wonder. The open kicks off august 31. Its a very exciting time in new york. And this is their cocktail. Its called the u. S. Open the honey deuce cup. Its got vodka, lemonade, crushed ice and honey dew melon balls. Dent say it like that. Thats gross. But its actually delicious. I could its not sweet. Doesnt even taste like theres vodka in. It good news for tracy morgan. Its a little frightening for him, you know . We did see him with matt lauer. He sent him out at the end of the interview, i want to make you laugh again. It will be his fight song that will get him back. He has a goal. His goal is out there, saturday night live asked him to host the show on october 17. This will be his first comedic appearance since the yes, his accident was june of 14. So its been a little over a year. And a lot of people thought hed never survive that, much less come back. God bless him. And he tweeted stoked to be going home. Some of the other hosts, miley cyrus hide the children. And then our girl amy shumer. Shell be so funny, dont you think . Theres still sensors at nbc, even late night. We had didnt we have a seven second certain people we do. We the a delay for certain people. Amy is one of them. Remember elaine strip tch we didnt have one . And joan god bless her rivers. Remember the fbomb. Of elaine . She wanted me to keep rubbing her feet. And you kept looking at her and she said it because we knew someone was going to pay a lot of money. [ laughter ] have you ever gone to a public restroom . Yes, i have. I dont want to but on occasion i have. Have you been waiting and you have to see if anyones in there and you look underneath to see if you see feet . The weird thing is there are two ways you can look into a restroom. The two sides along the side of the door. Sometimes you can see yes, that clear. You can see someone sitting and going. And its so embarrassing. Why is it so why dont they close the gap . Oh, my gosh, thats the whole thing. Someone put their camera right in. Thats too close. I dont know, if anybody has an official reason for, that buzzfeed wants to know why. Let buzzfeed find out. Buzzfeed finds things out, they do. They wrote an entire article on it because they could. America, why are their huge gaps at the edge of your toilet doors . It is embarrassing. People can see in. Its horrible. Anyway some people go to Great Lengths to make sure it doesnt happen and they use some people shove toilet paper in so they can plug the gap. Well, thats just a waste of a good roll of paper. Youre right. So lets find out what you think about that. If you have a reason or think you know a reason for that. Okay, theres a baseball fan who was holding a toddler and was desperate to get a stray ball at last nights Chicago White sox versus the l. A. Angels. Heres the hit. Watch closely. Hes got aed to her from his arms, keep in mind. Look closely. Oh, oh, oh still doing it. Still going. Oh, the leg, oh, sorry. And watch this oh, you dont get it. Oh, you dont get it. After all that. He could have given it wait, he ended up with the ball at the end . I didnt know that. I dont know. Hes lucky hes not in child protective services, you know . Oh, the announce crew brought one down. I dont think that kind of behavior should be rewarded. What do you think . I get trying but never at the expense of the safety of your kid. I think guys when theres a ball coming at them, thats what they. Do it doesnt matter whats in their hands, a baby, a cold beer. Weve watched a million of them. What does that say . Its instinct. Its like oh, my gosh, theres the ball, get the ball. Get the ball. Well, i understand if youre a dog but a human being should know bert. Ball, ball. Speaking of dogs its such a great idea. If you lose your dogs, you snap a picture of your dog before you its called finding rover. If you lose your dog your post it and this app collects the pictures of dogs missing or found and do a facial recognition thing and they sync them up and theyve been able to get 600 dogs back to their owners. Since they started it, which is so great. I think the chip is the way to go. I havent done it yet because my dogs never leave the yard. Your bags stay close to home. They do. If i had Young Children today, i would put a chip in my children. You would . I certainly would. This world has changed so much and i am so educated these days on the Human Trafficking situation. Look into it then you decide because so much can happen within 24 hours you might never your child again. If your child has a chip and its not painful, its they can find that child and keep it from disappearing someplace. Look into it. Im not telling you do it. Its so frightening, this senate stick.
