Event Date(s): 02/11/2014 | Event Location(s): New York | Description: INT TODAY NEW YORK STUDIO KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes. The two loneliest women at NBC. Welcome to Booze Day Tuesday, February 11th. We’ve got all of Rockefeller Center to ourselves. HODA KOTB: It’s so weird padding around here and no one being here except for our seven fans. And they keep saying oh the TODAY show is not here. I'm like we're here. EXT DAY NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK WS: High-angle zoom-in to a small crowd gathered outside Studio 1A at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, New York. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: We're here. HODA KOTB: Hello. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And we've a big show. We’ve got the the stars. They may have the sports athletes and everything other there in Sochi but we've got Colin Farrell today— HODA KOTB: Yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --Oscar winner Eva Marie Saint— HODA KOTB: Hello. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --where you're going to her? And Henry Winkler, one of my favorite people ever. HODA KOTB: I think that we should challenge our— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Sweetheart. HODA KOTB: --viewers— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes. HODA KOTB: --to come to the plaza and stand here. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes. HODA KOTB: Okay? Because let’s count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Hello, everybody. HODA KOTB: About twenty-two. If we can beat twenty-two tomorrow? Let's try. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: It doesn’t take much to make Hoda happy. Make Hoda happy. You know what used to make me happier than anything in the whole world when I was growing up? HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: A Shirley Temple movie. HODA KOTB: Yep. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I’ve seen all of the ones when she was little. And I'm just-- just saying to Hoda this morning, she passed away, what they say, from natural causes. She was eighty-five years old. HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. MATT LAUER: Made her screen debut when she was four years old. And she was only six— GFX: Supers “Shirley Temple, 1928-2014” with insert stills of late actress Shirley Temple as a child and as an adult. HODA KOTB: Here's something you got to remember. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --look how beautiful she still was. Even the dimples still— HODA KOTB: Here's the song. Every-- I think so many generations remember this song. I think we've got it. It’s On The Good Ship Lollipop. CLIP: Black and white clip from the movie “Bright Eyes”. HODA KOTB: So cute. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh, my favorite was when she goes, oh, was this-- and the Animal Crackers In My Soup. But if you haven’t seen the movie Heidi, I mean, she should have been an Academy Award nominated for that. It was just such an incredible performance by such a young, young little actress. I really think, Hoda, you want to make your little nieces so happy. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: They have them colorized now. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And get them the entire set of all of her films and sit there with your nieces because you’ve never seen them, really. HODA KOTB: I think I’ve seen one. I haven't seen all. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Oh, they're magic. They're magic. HODA KOTB: But I have to tell you, it’s so funny to imagine that she did all of her movies before the age of twenty-two. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And then retired. HODA KOTB: And retired. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Retired from show business. HODA KOTB: Everything mostly when she was a teenager. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yes. HODA KOTB: She was more popular than Clark Gable. She was like the— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Biggest star in the world. HODA KOTB: --in the world. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: In the world. HODA KOTB: Then she went into politics in ’67. Hello. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. And then in '69, President Nixon made her a delegate to the United Nations. And so I didn't realize that she has two daughters and a son. That she's survived by and a granddaughter and two great granddaughters, as well. HODA KOTB: Wow. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I want to thank her for all the joy she brought into my life. HODA KOTB: Yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I just-- there’s not a movie that she did that you’re not sobbing and laughing and singing along. HODA KOTB: Such a talent and she was so young. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And she was just a brilliant, brilliant woman. HODA KOTB: All right. So again, the Olympics are there not here. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Why can't they leave us alone? HODA KOTB: No they— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: They go to Russia and leave us alone. HODA KOTB: Bob Costas and Mary Carillo did something that we enjoy doing. And then, I think we came up. Let’s take a listen. CLIP: Clip from NBC Olympics coverage featuring NBC Sports’ Bob Costas and Mary Carillo. BOB COSTAS: This is real stuff, guaranteed. Okay. This is not some sort of water or something. MARY CARILLO: This the Hoda and Kathie Lee portion of the scene. BOB COSTAS: It's not Sprite. Yeah. I'm not really that much of a vodka guy. MARY CARILLO: Okay. BOB COSTAS: I am looking at it this way though, my eyes can’t get any redder no matter what I do. MARY CARILLO: You know what, I’ll drink to that. BOB COSTAS: All right. Here we go, down the hatch. MARY CARILLO: Really? HODA KOTB: Wow. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Whatever it is. HODA KOTB: Ah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Well, (foreign language) to you guys, too. Our favorite novelist. HODA KOTB: Here we go. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: I thought you said it was water. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Hoda’s going to do a shot from now on for every medal we win. HODA KOTB: I thought— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: By the end of the Olympics, it’s going to get crazy. HODA KOTB: I’m looking for a chaser and there’s nothing. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: That will teach you. HODA KOTB: That was not nice, Jerry. He said vodka. Anyway, we do have six here. And the reason we have six is because so far the United States has won six medals. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: We’re in fourth place tied with Russia. HODA KOTB: So we’re going to line our desk every day with a vodka shot for each medal because we figure that’s a great way to— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Celebrate. Celebrate. HODA KOTB: Acknowledge all the things. All right. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: So I don’t know if you guys saw it, but Bob Costas' eye is huge— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Now it's both of them. STILL: Still of Costas with a double eye infection. HODA KOTB: --and getting worse. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I still can’t see. HODA KOTB: Oh, you can-- well, here’— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Let’s see a close-up. Come on. HODA KOTB: All right. Well, here is, here is what happened. It’s so bad. He’s actually in a lot of pain that now Matt is taking over his nighttime Olympic duties. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: But Matt didn’t know it. HODA KOTB: Yeah. He asked him. Take a look. CLIP: Clip from NBC’s “Today” featuring Costas speaking with Co-Anchors Matt Lauer and Al Roker. MATT LAUER: Bob, how are you doing, bud? BOB COSTAS: Well even worse than when you saw me this morning, Sochi time. So reluctantly, I was trying to throw a complete game here. But I think we’re going to have to have to go to the bull pen. And I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not but you’re Mariano Rivera, at least tonight. MATT LAUER: Oh. AL ROKER: Wow. MATT LAUER: So I'm going to step in for you tonight, the master at Olympic primetime? BOB COSTAS: I believe that’s it. And let’s hope it’s only tonight. HODA KOTB: Oh. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: He’s got some very, very serious eye infection. It's now gone to the other eye. I can’t believe he’s not on massive antibiotics. Remember when I had Gloria? HODA KOTB: She had a sty. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I had a sty. It would-- it lasted so long. HODA KOTB: Named, I named it. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Because of Gloria Steinem. I just said Gloria-- you got to have fun with these things. It was bigger than Delaware. And it was-- and they're painful. I really feel for him. HODA KOTB: What did you do with yours? You put like hot compresses? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I put a steye on it which is s-t-e-y-e. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And then compresses and then I had to get it— HODA KOTB: Lanced. You got it lanced, I remember. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Did I? I don't remember that. HODA KOTB: I can’t believe that was-- yeah, you did. I can’t believe those are real. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I lanced it myself. It was so sexy. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Okay. Anyway, let's move on. If there is an Olympic moment that’s so touching and warm, there are the Bilodeau brothers. They-- there’s a young man and his brother has cerebral palsy. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: And their relationship is an incredible one. And after the brother won the gold, he hugged his other brother. Take a look. CLIP (COURTESTY NBC SPORTS): Video of Canadian Olympic skier Alex Bilodeau competing in a ski event. CLIP (COURTESTY NBC SPORTS): Clip of Bilodeau hugging his brother, Frederic Bilodeau, who has cerebral palsy. ALEXANDER BILODEAU (NBC Olympics): Whoo. MAN #2 (NBC Olympics): Another wonderful moment for the brothers Bilodeau, Alexander and Frederic. WOMAN: Arms around your brother Frederic and you’ve got to have that same moment again tonight. HODA KOTB: You can watch it all day. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. And he kept saying I love you, I love you. That’s just precious. HODA KOTB: And he actually, he spoke about it. He talked about how his brother was his inspiration every single day and it’s just so touching. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I have a very good friend from Canada who is a little Twitter follower of mine. And I adore her. I don't want to-- but she told me yesterday that yesterday was Canada’s Family Day. HODA KOTB: Mm-Hm. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: So how lovely that on Family Day that we have that moment, you know? HODA KOTB: Yeah. Well, Alex, you understood how much he loved his brother when he spoke to Matt. Just take a look. CLIP: Clip from “Today” featuring Lauer interviewing Alex Bilodeau. MATT LAUER: Worried the day is going to come where people are going to talk about you and describe you as the guy who accompanied Frederick Bilodeau to the Olympic Games. ALEXANDER BILODEAU: Definitely, I wish that day would come. And it’s something for me that I don’t need the spotlight. I have-- I have all the resources to work and have it. And so-- but he doesn’t have and we need to give him. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: That’s brotherly love— HODA KOTB: Come on. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --Philadelphia love. HODA KOTB: I love it. Love it. All right. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah, beautiful. HODA KOTB: Apolo Ohno is going to be with us a little later. I like him so much— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: He's doll. HODA KOTB: --to talk about the highlights. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Well, there’s another interview these— HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Do we really learn about people in these interviews that are in these magazines? Or how much of it is done just for effect? I don’t know. I don't know how authentic people are— HODA KOTB: Kristen Stewart. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --when they give these interviews. HODA KOTB: Yeah. Kristen Stewart did one in Marie Claire. And she talked about the mistakes she made-- you know that she had an affair with her married director while she was dating and she said— GFX: Insert still of the cover of “Marie Claire” magazine featuring actress Kristen Stewart. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Robert Pattinson. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: And what-- she described it, I think, in a way that— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Well, she basically talks about her biggest regret which is that she doesn't regret all of she-- she said I own basically all my mistakes, so go ahead and judge. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Which at twenty-three, I guess, is wisdom. But then she says something about the only regret she truly has in all of this is that she never went to college. HODA KOTB: Yeah. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: She’s twenty-three. She can still go to college, you know, you can go do college online these days. You can, you know, sign up for the— HODA KOTB: Right. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: --for fall classes. Go this summer. HODA KOTB: Right. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: So, you know, that seems a little— HODA KOTB: It shouldn’t be a regret yet. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah. HODA KOTB: I mean, it seems like she has plenty of time to make up for that. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: I haven’t graduated yet and I don’t regret it at all. HODA KOTB: Do you-- I can-- I keep looking over here because— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: What is going on? HODA KOTB: You know what’s going on over there? KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: What? HODA KOTB: Look what's going on over there. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Is Colin Farrell over there? HODA KOTB: Colin— KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And Eva Marie Saint. HODA KOTB:--Farrell is over there. Oh, yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Hoda has one of her things. HODA KOTB: Just looking. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Okay. Okay. You have one of your things and don't worry just take a moment to let you have it. HODA KOTB: Thank you. All right. So there’s a mom who created this Facebook page for her son. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Yeah, that is sweet. HODA KOTB: He’s a ten-year-old. He's turning eleven. And she says that her son doesn’t have a lot of friends for a birthday party. And she says that he has, you know, some issues with social skills and things like that. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: He didn’t want a party because he said he didn’t have any friends that would come. HODA KOTB: Yeah. She did a sweet thing. So she decided to make a Facebook page for him. And she invited people to become his friend online. And then she writes this, I thought if I could create a page where people could send him positive thoughts and encouraging words that would be better than any party. So she's asking please join me in making my very original son feel very special his day. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And it’s received almost twenty-four thousand likes and thousands of comments from people all over the world. Something tells me he’s going to have a very nice birthday. HODA KOTB: Yeah. So if you want to go to that page, you can go to our Facebook page and find out how to wish Colin a happy birthday. We just sent him a little birthday wish. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: And that could be your random act kindness for today, too. HODA KOTB: Yes it could. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Which is going on all this week. HODA KOTB: Yes. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: You know we didn't get a chance to do yesterday Hoda woman? HODA KOTB: Favorite Things. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Stop looking at Colin Farrell. HODA KOTB: I can’t help it. He's in my eye line. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: Stop it. Stop it. HODA KOTB: He's in my eye line. KATHIE LEE GIFFORD: All right. Hello, good morning.
