Diana Ross, though to be fair
your own.
>> All while of course we know
Dan Ross is not 95 years old
correct response was who is
Tony Bennett contestants fin
and Karen brutally aging up
miss Ross by nearly 2 decades,
course folks online as you can
see they're quick to turn on
him showing their endless love.
The music icon, both the
contestants course hop quickly
on to twitter to try and clear
up any concern care apologizing
to Ross writing I didn't really
>> You know the answer but had
to put something Dan and green
think.
with that to me too I knew she
was not nearly that all but
better at something than
nothing just glad we're in this
together.
>> Just another reminder that
that game show responses live
forever. On the Internet so
careful next up Cota the hit
film about the musically
talented teenager in an all
debt families headed to the
stage Los Angeles is deaf West
Theatre's going to be said here

of course a calling card of one
of the big movies to perhaps

favorite for this weekend's
Academy Awards. I know who's

part of than anybody.
>> Yeah, hoda coming on sharing
fur coat. Yeah, that seems like
one of the only ones we found
this on the Internet host or
Telco to right in there.
Way good luck to the yeah.
>> And final more and more our
buddy Anthony Anderson, the
actor recently moved to New
York which I'm psyched about
new golfing partner is going to
be filming long order and it
looks like he's getting the
welcome wagon literally check
out how a couple of kind
strangers helped Anthony get
home from the big shopping
trip.
>> Have no idea who these
people are but I'm driving a
vehicle right now because I
didn't want the best by the
Biden tv's from a new place in
New York and I have a driving
home but didn't tell me he had
a friend in the car.
>> He's taken that day is 2
hours.
>> Right there and I
>> what's going on gas to at
home, but well here in New York
>> And a couple more for you
we're going to start with Joe
Jonas during last night's
episode of the Tonight Show Joe
gave an all start the actual
performance of a smash mouth it
from 1999 for
to fall.
Well there's so much going on
that is like smash mouth meets
lame is it so wrong. It's
almost right.
>> That's a fun thing to watch
finally Gwen Stefani and Larry,
us Navy a post on instagram
when trading in the glitz and
glam to dress up like your
favorite country boy.
Well if you think that begs the
question who work that I think
we all know the answer to that
it is Gwen Stefani all day and
every day twice on Sunday for
that matter.
All right, those are your
headlines, we've got a lot more
ahead coming up next a inside
look at a new show if you need
a laugh, it's called our flag
means death is coming up.
flag means death a new HBO Max
comedy as a naive aristocrat
turned pirate. When he meets
the elusive black Beard all
sorts of crazy shenanigans
ensue andriese told us all
about it.
Well flag mean stiff is loosely
based on a true story about an
aristocratic and a very wealthy
landowner and 1717 who dipped
in Barbados who decided to have
a midlife crisis and leave
everything head.
And don't become a pirate's you
offensive your pod comfortable
out.
But come up.
Very often date but not only
did he
hit to the high seas he then
and counted the greatest part
of the whole black did and they
got along. But it's the
opposite the track thing I
think is well obviously,
but they wanted to both they
each other that did really
kept his devilish why he's in
mind and was going to steal his
identity so it was when I
started to really
that he realized maybe I don't
want to do that and they
started to
get inside each other's hits
and revealed they had
similarities with their
upbringing and there. They have
their fathers and to what drove
them to be who they and so that
was those connections that my
the close a sustained. Yeah,
he said Gentlemen, he's a man
of wealth and he's the kind
sold but very last he kills
with
kindness
all right so you're that
gentleman pirate thing well
stocked he had a a bad father
experience that's for sure
and I think he didn't want to
be in the state he was in with
his marriage which was
organized, you know part of the
aristocracy is that they do
what they're told.
And so he wasn't happy and he
would escape through reading
and fantasizing about adventure
he didn't really know what he
was doing, but you've got to
give them something for the
courage.
To live the game and to not
just except what you have you
know any live lots but stayed
twice states on a parade is
just over the top and things
that not necessary including
much of the things he's
wearing, but I feel good that
make him feel good so he wanted
to Micah part ship the same and
the same way said he built a
library on the ship obviously
because he is an avid reader he
told everyone could rate but
really sending him and maybe
one or 2 others.
>> I mean brings an entire
library to see each and they
have a fireplace a ridiculous
idea with you know on board a
ship that could easily catch
fire because this candles
everywhere. He's got to exit
the reward rifle Lizza extra
outfits that he definitely
doesn't age.
And
yeah, I think it's nice little
flourishes on the ship that
sort of keeps him happy because
you know he's so out of his
company time and the well the
part is definitely dressing up
and improvised comedy as my 2
favorite things and just
working with a great cost and
some bull group of people from
different parts of the world,
we'll have the same vision and
that was to make something
beautiful funny and uplifting.
>> That's how they make people
feel underdressed from the your
the one shot.
>> I would love to improvise as
much as possible. But
unfortunately, the scripts were
really good. So we had to stick
to them. But we did get time to
improv off the scripts now
again I just like doing it.
And also when you with tai chi
he's very improv heavy. So I we
work together we get a lot of
scenes together we pretty much
say what we want to have the
I think my favorite scene
sci-fi to shoot that hike was
time.
during episode.
7 I think when we are on the
treasure hunt. And that's when
we get quite close and we
it was sitting around the fire
and you'll see that saying that
we were talking about I think a
restaurant I think.
>> And come to restore.
You want to get in it's going
to be very popular.
>> And yeah, that was a little
light on the spot and icon
believe we
didn't crack out during a time
when I you know we can do
comedy till the cows come home,
it's easy.
But getting date and personal
and dramatic is something that
we don't often do. So the same
is like for example in it said
6. We had you know it really
hits home with with black the
it when he realizes you know
the crack and and what he did
to his dad how he ended up
killing a stand.
>> Looking good is the Heat.
This would mean friends.
>> I knew for him and it was
genuine because we buy have
father issues ourselves and so
it was kind of that it was.
Yeah, the parent out
between fiction and fact of
life and and
create a that she was so so
close that time.
It was it was one Jenny sure
that we we buy that shame
together and you can see that I
think in that
and the showers are some of
those emotions are real to pick
a favorite saying I think a
personal favorite would be
right at the beginning just
walking down this study is
commanding my crew for the
first time looking expects
Traficant.
>> And given the for about 2
little bit Paris page.
>> That was fantastic because
we did that on Day one and was
the best time I had made
everyone on the cast. So it
felt real to me and getting
these ridiculous reactions back
from them and then coming
together with a little slogan.
>> We talked it through as a
cruise.
>> And that kind of really
summed up the whole show for us
because no matter what beaches
we would go on you know,
I felt like we would talk us
right and it's it's getting in
touch with your emotions which
you know
mid of always had trouble doing
at 300 is a guy I mean I'm sure
they really had trouble during
at the end in sight to to
modernize and to really get to
grips with that idea I think is
really a mentally healthy.
I think the deal is will
definitely say that if you get
outside you come inside and
take a risk and use courage and
use a little bit of confidence
just get it from wherever you
can even if it's just your
outfits you can change your
life and you can guy places you
never thought you got and make
your dreams come true just by
being around people being
positive and
yeah, giving giving up, but I
think there's something there
for all of us to take.
>> And you know forget you can
stream our flag means death on
HBO Max, and the final 2
episodes are out today, take
note of that coming up next now
we watch giving us a sneak peek
at her latest thriller.
on pop star plus the latest
e
film from star. Now we watch
called infinite storm is based
on the true story of an
experienced climber is Pam
bales as she ascends Mount
Washington will now be Watts
was nice enough to swing by the
3rd hour here and tell us all
about that role.
>> This morning we are catching
up with a Hollywood superstar
Naomi Watts is nominated for
Academy Awards for her roles in
the films, 21 grams and the
impossible.
>> In her latest film infinite
storm she heads to the
mountains portraying
experienced climber, Pam bales
now in a blizzard hit spam
encounters a stranded man and
she's going to stop at nothing
to get them both to safety.
>> Tammy us its search and
rescue.
And the else.
>> You guys
>> what the. It. Help Sir.
Just me.
No cell phone service to get to
the parking lot either
you know back to the east.
No 2 Sunni.
>> They'll be good morning.
Yeah, yeah. Out there. So this
will be infinite storm, I mean
it's great it's determination.
It's compassion besides those
elements what was it that
really attracted you to to do
something like this a story
like this in elements like
yeah.
>> Well, the extraordinary
woman have bales and this act
of kindness that she gives to
this other has said in a very
extreme situation and the
elements as you say, but also
how are asked how
how willingness you know and
her strength and had
discipline. She was able to put
this man before her arm AIDS
which was to survive herself
and I just was blown away by
her on a on a on the first
phone call that we had record
it conversations that she had
with the writer and she was
also tackling her and demons
you know having lost her
children. And so this was a big
story in many ways and the
power of nature, how it heals
it's such a good reminder.
What you can get out there and
the quiet of the mountains and
the beauty of nature is it's
really want to talk about the
elements a little more because
you you really did notice the
silence in the film as you're
watching it. I mean it was so
intense. What was that like
funny because you reveal the
filming in the mountains in the
elements, you're freezing
right, yeah below 0
temperatures extreme winds and
I mean one day we had a the
U.S. electrical storm we were
up there on the mountain we
were told. We had to get off
because it is dangerous and it
was a power cut we couldn't get
down the mountain because the
chair lift was operating.
And we thought we may have to
camp out for the night. And
that was rather and scary.
But yeah we were well equipped
we had Mountaineers guy guiding
us. But and also you realize
this is what Pam deals with
only time that this was
certainly what took place that
day did you camp out for the
night or you didn't know we
didn't have good question.
Yeah, it was a few hours and
then and then we were okay,
switching gears a little bit
can you believe it's been 20
years since King Kong has been
out it's yeah crazy I buy
quickly it certainly did.
I mean 20 years ago, take
suspects like 2002 which
doesn't sound like it was 20
>> But you recently at
Universal and I love this
years ago.
picture that you posted on
instagram you know with the
caption when your teenager
catches you eyeing an old
flame. What are your favorite
memories from from that movie.
>> So many working with Peter
Jackson in his life and his
glorious team. But also the
community we're working
together for 7 months and we
became really close family
almost create it is great
friends and now. Yeah, just
kind of an iconic role and Dara
and not as David Lynch houy
said to me, you know anyone
that sits in the hand of King,
Kyle bass.
>> Is a movie star for like.
What you've got netflix series
coming out. Brian Murphy, it
based on that that watch or
give the people or sending the
letters a to the House watch
your house. Yes, yes that that
is a story that some of us
know, and I'm not allowed to
say too much about.
>> It's a crazy story, yeah, a
family that moved to the
suburbs done
by this beautiful, start
getting letters home and we
don't know who they're from.
>> I remember that still has a
little yeah, yeah Naomi thank
you so much really appreciate
your movie out about that's
right if that storm is in
theaters coming up tomorrow.
>> Always great to hear from
Naomi that looks good still to
come some 90's nostalgia with
Sarah Jessica Parker while she
was filming the classic hocus
pocus
out back in 19 93 and at that
time Sarah Jessica Parker
stopped by today. So we thought
you know in honor of Sarah's
57th birthday today we thought
to be fine to take a look back
a little blast from the past if
you will.
>> Jessica Parker, good morning
welcome back to today, nice to
see you then it's not your
friends call you Sarah, but
your family call the Sarah
Jessica. Well if there's is a
peculiar set of crossing those
who have known me the longest
tend to come ii-era those who
know me more recently County
Sarah Jessica and then there's
of to kill your group in the
middle of that, you know,
Kitty, hey you what's your
name, whatever all right one
because I just because since we
just can't this morning all
right tell me a little bit
about this movie how much fun
was it to play a witch with
that Midler and Kathy, the
Jimmy it was. It was great fun,
I mean they were obviously the
elements were there so it's
sort of up to us to you know
the thing that was most that
was most fun and most so it
creatively satisfying was that
there was very little about our
characters beyond descriptions
of what they do in the context
of scripts so we really got to
me especially for the first
time had a chance to really
create a character which meant
like a voice and and finding
physical stuff and and you know
learning to fly and we all have
our own separate individual
ways of flying in or take us
for a very different and unique
and it was great and what kind
of which did you want to create
what kind of which is Sarah
Sanderson well, my theory is
that she is the most
fundamentally evil of all of
them because she is so not
bright he's he's not
calculating that is her innate
nature to be evil and and
milder sisters, it's a it's a
learned saying it's like you
know learning to like live or
you know they have like learned
this evil and I've just pick it
up it's you know it's part of
my environment that I wanted
her to be truly evil in in in
in the most and calculating way
and still somehow the seductive
so whether or not that came to
fruition is you know not for me
to say, but that was sort of my
attention you worked coming up
with the right voice didn't you
tell me some of the voices you
played with and why you finally
settled on.
What we saw. Well, I think
ultimately was sort of child by
air and and I would sit is
cautiously. My first idea was
to do I don't know if you
recall Dana Carvey doing George
Michael on the on on weekend
update on the news on site at
life but he said this traffic
in depression of George
Michael. And I thought I would
do that has about a 4 year-old
English schoolboy
but I thought it was hysterical
like I would be my hotel room
practicing this voice and I
thought was really funny and
then I finally had the courage
to try on the set and there was
just not a peep that was funny
at all it just didn't fly.
Some people they want to sort
of do a Maryland voice and I
thought well that's been done
and that sort of for it and and
so that I somehow surf found
this peculiar this this voice
in between that how does that
voice and
it sounds stupid. Can you do a
little bit of a I guess it's
the inside here. Yes, you know
it's a bit of a helium. It was
like a small 4 year-old boy on
helium. That was what I wanted
to life but she's practically
you know, mooch that means that
these fans like points barely
speaks to. I went back and just
appointed you think a lot of
your well a lot of your scenes
were cut out. Yeah, I think I
think I wasn't this point I
think that you know you work on
something here about 6 months
shooting this movie. So you
know you expect to see your
face like endlessly on the
screen and nationally that
doesn't happen anyway, mean
there's always editing that
this was they made a choice and
editing which you know
philosophically in for a
business point of view I
totally understand and in fact
support but it's that first
shocking when you see a movie
and
you're not in it as much, but
I'm really very place for the
movie an end.
And it's really nice because
it's the first time I can
really say I endorse and
encourage parents to like take
their children see this movie
that there's no like it's
morally and I think politically
and and just for good time
acceptable on every level son
very pleased with that I was
working with that. I know you
all knew each other or you knew
of for because you have the
exact Boise was you're right.
Obviously you know it was from
her career big Lad have the
same voice coach, yeah, yeah,
we didn't we didn't when I was
doing and by the way she was
doing the divine miss M on
Broadway and we had the same
Saint Pete I like I said that
because I know exactly who she
was and I think I could have
been like hired help throughout
as I mean who knew I wasn't at
this time and ice to get to my
singing lessons early so that I
could listen to her. She's to
do these Italian vocal when she
saw these incredibly 7 o'clock
tick variations of music and
you'd be hiding it in the
kitchen, listening and then she
would leave and I would mimic
everything she had done.
>> Who doesn't love that one
hocus pocus and 29 years later.
We can look forward so this
focus too because it's coming
in the fall once again, quick
happy birthday shout out to
Sarah Jessica Parker that's
going to do it for us don't

let's get to it.
Instead of hidden gems we
should call this one hidden
roots, I am real to introduce
you to the color. Wow route
cover up which is come to my
rescue on more than one
occasion I totally get why they
have well as part of your name
and I was introduced to this
little wonder by a pro makeup
artist who is helping me get my
glam on before the show.
And she noticed I had a little
route so she took out this
darker color and she got a
little brush. Applicator it was
so easy and she brushed it
straight on to my roots so it
covered it up. It looked
amazing and I thought that was
that but then oh my goodness my
jaw dropped because she took
out the blonde color took the
little brush and she rushed on
blonde highlights, I felt like
I had a touch up at the salon
and I couldn't believe it
because it didn't feel sticky
and the brand says it actually
has reflective properties and
that's what makes it blend in
with your hair really well,
plus I really like that it
didn't transfer tonight,
lows, I slept in it it didn't
transfer to my pillow and the
brand also says that it is
water and sweat with us it is
completely temporary it stay my
hair until I took a shower and
I washed it out and it comes in
8 different shades
this color wow to cover up is
amazing. Now if you've been
looking for that next level
moisturizer to soothe hydrate
revived Ellen dry winter skin.
Then your thing to love our
next hidden gem, the OC and
daria algae body oil I also
have been on the hunt for a
one-step ultra hydrating
moisturizer for my body.
I feel like I'm always focused
on moisturizing and trying to
hydrate my face and I can tell
that my arms and my legs and
the rest of my body, especially
after this long winter also
want some attention so I heard
so much buzz about that see a
body while so I decided I.
>> Had to try it and I'm so
glad that I did I think it
really does live up the hype
and what I love so much about
it is it feels so so rich and
that sort really fast I put it
on after I got out of the
shower, I Pat dry and then I
threw my leggings just about 30
seconds after. So that's really
cool and the brand says that
it's designed to not only help
hydrate and moisturize but it
also helps to nourish the skin
and they also say it helps to
from the skin.
The secret ingredient that
everybody so excited about is
on Darya algae which is a fancy
word for seed and the brand
also says that they can harvest
the seaweed and they soak it in
barrels for up to see 6 months
so I'm thrilled that I found
>> So let's talk fashion these
fines happened to be one of the
this.
bigger trends on the horizon,
the split him can and you would
have thought that such a small
detail could I had so much cool
look at what it can in fact
sometimes it's the details that
take something from average to
elevated. So if you haven't yet
seen the split him can't trust
me you're going to see it
absolutely everywhere and what
it is it's a little slit down
at thanks Pam of the front.
And what I like so much about
this trend is not only does it
elevates your average can't or
trouser or gene or even lagging
it also Long Beach for lag it's
really flattering and also.
It's first of all you can wear
with heels or you can wear it
with sneakers so first we have
a vegan leather straight cut
can't from Abercrombie and as
you can see it's got this great
little split come here and what
I like about it is if you're
wearing it with fields where
your sneakers. Get your shoes,
a little time to shine. Now
we've also seen this trend in a
more casual way in leggings and
I think
that these Ross fans like
things with the split him here
are such a great way to have a
little jazz to your liking
routine and again this is also
a long getting you know
sometimes when you're wearing
your leggings and the him stop
secure and call. So from the
side. Look at a full long life.
>> So I think that these are a
real winner.
>> Next you're not going to
believe this mini knit sweater
dress my jaw dropped when I
found it on Amazon, I mean talk
about a diamond this for us is
in wed of least eilish and I
can't believe the price it
really does look expensive and
the sweater dress is such a big
trend but
at times it's not the most
flattering dress to wear so
what I like so much about this
dress is it has that really
flattering wrap silhouette it's
time to in a really really
light weight and high quality
feeling. It now. This stress
has a lot of bells and whistles
so we talked about the rap
select which I love but what I
also like that it is you cut
the RAF detail in the front.
The back so that gives you the
ability for the Bush down the
shoulders, you want to give a
little peek of shoulders or you
can wear it up if you want a
more modest look I also love
committee link another great
thing about this just so
versatile you can dress it up
you can dress it down where
they he'll throw on some types
and you can wear it to work.
So if you you've been wanting
to test drive the cut out trend
without spending a bundle.
>> We've come across another
gym checks. All the boxes,
this sweater may be called a
cold shoulder, but in my
opinion this style is hot
ensure cut outs elevate and
take any top to the next level.
This cut out trend has been
such a big deal but generally
we see this come out trend on
more form-fitting silhouettes.
Oh I love that this is a really
purpose way to get in on this
trend and we've got the civil
case. Details of the pot a
little loose oversized knit
sweater. So this gives it a lot
of versatility and this really
is a sweater that I would throw
on when a floundering around it
home or I put it on with some
full leather leggings are
swayed leggings I go out to
dinner with it so there's a lot
of ways that you can wear it
and this was a really nice way
it's not too heavy so next we
know cozy slide sandal is quite
possibly the most beloved shoe
of the past couple of seasons.
So when we came upon these
flash floods.
>> We couldn't wait to slip our
feet right on in. And so these
lights have everything that we
look for in the trend they've
got that double strapped with
the adjustable Bacall and these
slide in my opinion is this
sheer laying it is really
really crash and if you're
worried that cheerleading is
going to go out of style one
spring hits.
You are in luck we are going to
see hundreds of cheering this
spring, it is not just for
winter. And also I really love
the look of the cork and of
course, the rubber soul,
which means you can wear them
both inside and out and they
come in lots of different
colors and you want to take a
break on the push here link
they also have the regular
soul,
lastly we've got a bag that
I've had my Island for a while
now and I was so excited to see
that it is back in stock.
Yes, I was on the hunt for 8
fabulous and chic and
affordable tote and I found
this bag, it's called the phone
leather tote with chain detail
and I was so sad because it was
sold out. Well guess what it's
back in stock so I bought 2 the
it again and what I like so
much about this show.
>> His first of all I think it
looks so high end designer,
I think it looks really
expensive.
>> And I love a chain detail
and it hit so well just sort of
on your shoulder and check it
out here so it's that slouchy
effortless a lot so here
there's not much in the bag so
it folds in but

>> Oh you are so sweet, we love
it here in Austin we have a lot
more space and I'm just so
excited for this next chapter
kind of evolving from a New
York based lifestyle blogger to
a home and beauty lifestyle
blogger here in Texas. And I
love your blog so many good
jams listen today, FEMA
episode. It's all about hidden
gems and you come across a lot
of products right. How do you
decide what's worthy of being
showcased
I like to showcase products
that I feel like really stand
out and a lot of people asked
questions about so for example,
I'm on social media every
single day on instagram and
tiktok so I really get to
connect my audience and his
women and what they asked those
questions about I feel like
really are trending that's
what's there is about right.
Yeah, the trending items items
that we can use so before we
get into these products, the
bachelor nation fans would have
my head if I ask you questions
about your experience being on
the show what's your most
memorable experience from that
time.
My most memorable experience to
be living in the bachelor
mansion with all the women in
California it was such a lovely
experience kind of like being
in a sorority House and I feel
like I learned so much about
beauty from being with all the
sister is in the show with me
because I don't have any
sisters and we would all you
know try different kinds of
blowouts and really connect
over 80 so it's really it's
already House except Allah
fighting, but the price.
I is this one guy at the end,
I'm sure that was awesome
experience OK, let's get to the
goods here, let's start with
hair, so you brought these
rollers which from dry bar, but
tell me about them so they have
clips how to use them. So the
thing that's trending was on
tiktok right now is really
achieving that at-home blowout
and really getting that big
volume at home. And you can do
it a couple ways, but one we
can do it is these self
adhesive carolers and what's
amazing is the secret to
getting the big blowout is to
sure that when you apply the
roller at the end is really
secure. Like this. And then you
go from there and really create
that type of role and then once
you get your roller to the top
you apply an alligator clips
and let your hair cool with the
Heat like this as you do your
makeup and then after 10 or 15
minutes, you have this huge
beautiful blowout at home.
I love that's the way to make
sure I get this right you're
applying it to wet or dry hair.
You are applying it to a half
dry hair city on here so as you
are using your blow dryer
you're blowing it out. And once
you finish drying, your hair,
you'd end up like the he roller
and Lake well in place if I say
that right, yeah I think I got
I think I want to try this on
my here, let's move on to make
>> This next product, I'm
almost tempted to eat it,
up.
it's not edible folks but I'm
told that it's a cookie
highlighter.
>> Yes, the pollen cookie
highlighter and I the full
pallet right here I use this
every single day and one thing
about social media is really
making your make up top and
this high later after I have
tried dozens and dozens of
them. I have done my nose right
now, but it really stands out
and reflects the light is
incredible you could even use
it on the inside and you're
here drops of your eyelids and
create this almost iridescent
book and you can even use it up
here on under your brows for a
more open I look and as a
highlighter over your
cheekbones so wherever you
client it's really going to
make your highlighted areas
standout and this is really a
hidden gem, I'm ups.
>> Sus with this I just put a
little bit onto my hand my and
his twin glistening the shine
is sensational. All right so
let's move on from the make-up
now these glasses for small,
it's a 2 pack, so you had my
heart a little you talk about a
2 pack of sunglasses but the
90's are back in a big way how
to wear them without them being
to costume.
So the way where then sprint
everyday love is to wear.
>> Charles, I liked him he's
like you see right now I'm
right away to college for free
business appropriate. But when
you put these on and make sure
outfit totally trendy so this 2
pack is so cute. It comes both
with the flag and the tortoise
shell and so I just keep these
in my purse and my car and you
could be on trend where every
your head too.
>> I love the idea of a 2 pack
you can get the 2 pack keep it
entirely for yourself or if
you're feeling generous,
you could share with the best
to talk about already houses
this would be a good gift for
this or a tease. All right,
let's move on to the next item
that we have here I love the
law. It's a great gift for
someone him 10 we just moved
into their first home, let's
talk about it.
>> These are so stunning, I
have probably 12 of these in my
house, this is the larger size,
but they also come in the
smaller size and with so
elegant about this double sided
cleared last month. Is you can
see obviously whatever you're
drinking through its its
aesthetic pleasing and just
elevates the morning coffee.
So if you are on instagram you
can for your milk and people
can see all of the magic that's
happening in there and it's
just really a beautiful home
piece that you could use every
day and kind of start your
morning off right plus why your
coffee is hot, you don't for
your hand or you can microwave
it and it keeps it warm in
there while you're still
holding it.
>> So it's great it looks so
cute, I speaking of things that
look you have to tell you
artificial plants a little
scary to me because I'm like
how do I pay my house without
the looking fake, I like the
ones you have.
>> So I've been on the hunt is
now that we move to a new home
in Texas to just have a lot of
greenery in our home and one
home decor trend that's
happening right now is new

greenery and so all plants are

couple different ones right now

instant access to all the
products on the show today or
you can check shop to the
number below to shop all the
products we're sharing with you
today. So let's start in the
kitchen, mixing bowls are in a
secret kitchen, hack that this
set in particular is making the
rounds on tiktok as you can see
this center of the large lead
can be replaced with a greater
attachment which is genius
because that's one less faulty
kitchen tool that needs
cleaning and storing and if
that wasn't enough the inside
of the bowl is also in grades
with measurements which is
amazing when you're cooking
anything are prepping anything
and what's really cool is that
the bottom is silicone. So it's
not going to slip and slide all
over the counter. They can stay
nice and sturdy when you're
cooking to store them you just
Ness them inside one another
and you can tuck them away any
kept
and this next one is for all
the bakers out there it's an
adjustable rolling pen that has
been a consistent Amazon
best-seller that combines for
movable desks that can help you
get your Joe to that preferred
level a fix reviewers say it's
really easy to use you could
use it on everything from
Peachtree though to pizza dough
it's really need you could see
all the different ones here
ages Leyden whichever one you
want a pending on the thickness
and he just threw it in and you
don't have to worry about
keeping different sizes in your
kitchen just use this one.
Next stop electrical cords and
outlets can be an eyesore for
this brand created a
best-selling hacked to make
them blend in with the rest of
your home decor you can see
here this plate plugs right
into your standard outlet.
And it has an extension cord
which is attached with 3
additional outlets so because
it's so thin you can actually
have your furniture sit flush
against the wall with his team
and sensory gadgets aren't just
for younger kids reviewers of
all ages are really loving this
digits pier which is actually
made up of 12 magnetic, he says
it's an upgraded version of
that digits spinner that became
popular a few years co but it's
been re imagined into an
activity that actually gives
you something to do with her
hands. It comes in 4 different
bright colors from pop with a
lava and it could be used to
create different shapes and
structures.
Practical and durable and roomy
are just a few of the buzzword
reviewers have been using to
describe this total, I actually
have this and I use it for
everything from my day-to-day
tote bags to grocery shopping
and even a diaper bag over the
last year searches for tow at
carry bags have soared by 800%
according to Google trends
reviewers love this everlane
bag they love to feel the
fabric and that it's so light
weight and if the scene
washable so you can take care
of it really easily. Now let's
talk about hair, this is hardly
a new class hair treatment and
according to the brand it is
made with La Mellor technology
which is made to target damaged
areas of your hair and for
layers to protect and nurture
stripped it works on all hair
types and the brand suggest
using one to 2 doses for fine
hair and 2 to 3 for thick hair,
and one of our producers
actually used it and she said
okay for shinier and softer
hair after just one use.
>> And the hashtag hashtag
stashed and she has taken over
tiktok and inspire people to
make their out there basically
scrunchies that have a hidden
pocket for storing small
essential is like your brain
when you're on the go you can
see here, I have mine
pop it in all you have to do is
zip it up and you can actually
use the spreadsheets a best
seller on Amazon, and you don't
need to get crafty these are
super cute because they're
going to help you keep those
items within reach of all
times.
>> And lastly most of the time
it feels easier to invest in a
brand new set of makeup brushes
can go through the process of
cleaning them all and this
brush cleaner is a much more
affordable investment and
tiktok is obsessed with it.
The spongy surface makes it so
that you can Rob powder and
callers off your makeup brushes
with B. No more scrubbing
waiting for your brushes to dry
we need them. The most this
cleaner Southeast reusable to
and only needs to be washed
once a week with soap and
water. So you don't need any
water or anything that has a
spongy topping you just take
your brush that's full of
makeup. When you tap it in
and you could see the makeup
coming off.
And you don't need to wait for
them to drier using soap and
water.
And you can go back to doing
your makeup.

sponges but I want to learn so
I know it's often up a little
bit of these are big old leaves

>> We sat there for like
heating about exactly okay,
let's go ahead and poor aig's
okay. So this is enough that's
enough I have to wait for these
to be bringing all right thing
okay there you go.
I can say.
>> So now go ahead and spread
we're a little because we want
to get everything evenly in
court. There you go in the now
we're going to let it sit her
to get over there. I want to
just look like you just
now anyone under my age a
little bit allowing the running
this to run off and go
underneath.
>> You don't I don't have any
right to have a little bit
well, and they're just make a
whole part help each other and
have it go and then I was okay,
but I want that ice so like any
of this little extra bit of
snow is looking to leave it
like this for one 2nd did you
feel like a spatula like this
is the good implement what you
see is a reverse pass the
rubber spatula okay.
>> Would you rather just put it
happens right here and pulled
over and you want to flip it on
for years.
>> I think I need to learn to
fly. One assist the foot of a
system a system that have
especially under little yet
only use that to help me put my
own the whole thing oh yeah oh
my gosh, no way can I do this,
you know, and it's hard yeah
and everything's hard pressed
to go for the top with what I
was going to leave it that way
on the left hand, okay, yeah,
these different okay, yeah,
we're specialist and are alike
and I'm Alexis tent, but the
flip over scare
haha okay was I know it's going
to fail he want I want to ruin
it.
Go back he does get the rest
over OK, but that wasn't good
like good business post no I
didn't you know your perfect
but is it a look at a poll that
now every toe your phone over
again is okay okay, so the now
you all agree or she's okay to
have the best that we yeah haha
so put it on the for this point
the ground. Oh that's
interesting wise that you want
to flip it over you on the Heat
to sit right on top and which
is a sausage has offered to us.
Pam is my going for it there
you can get all of us it was
all innocent.
We did a good job with bank I
know now I want it, but it
wasn't supposed to be like half
of this or was it supposed to
really be covering some
locations home cooking you know
that you're in the restaurant
owner that this is what you're
about to eat at home. So that
is perfect for at home, but I
want to get in a car now I want
to. They want to put my words
with things like another folder
this like that that this photo.
The system the system that
they're now now now it's
getting kind of Brown is that 2
Brown no you're fine. I mean
look
no you know it is and now this
these guys are falling out.
Well, technically you're going
to OK so you've got to keep
your eyes on the prize that
think they're getting too warm.
Come on, don't know you know
this is a fail you don't have
to be nice about it can I just
think that yes okay all right

doesn't say what could be a
hard act. This is just one part
of breath last we still have to
do the candy bacon and the
powerful pain. Okay, it's also
get get these on the table
right.
think I was going to say you
see if I may be can I just put
it in the microwave can we
still be friends. We could be
friends because of your cooking
the means and the candied bacon
seems intimidating. Yes, super
cells are restaurants are the
home of the candy be okay, this
is our specialty you can not
even come in as a regular big,
we don't offer it either we do
it so over the fact that they
open it for you to get us one
against have a cup of brown
sugar cane for tonight.
Like just pack it a little
packet down
a layer of bacon had
sideways
so there could have been home
the reason why the mic with
isn't the best method. Yeah
because its troubles down the
bacon well that's true, you
know where as you cook it on
the sheet tray reconvene oven
it keeps the bacon the same
with that the big now you have
this like wire rack and foil
what's is that necessary it's

That's right. Yeah.
>> There are dozens of China
towns all across America with
interesting architecture
diverse restaurants, and
specialty shops, it's no wonder
they're popular with locals and
tourists alike.
They also provide places for
new immigrants and for families
to create communities but with
gentrification and all sorts of
problems from the pandemic it's
no wonder that all these
Chinatown are rapidly changing.
>> It's time to head out of
studio one A and hit the road
for a new kind of culinary
adventure follow me as I take
some of the most I kind of
foods around the country and
meet the families behind
together we're going to learn
how a good meal has the power
to connect us to our past our
future.
>> Okay so it's no surprise
there's incredible food to be
found here in Manhattan's
Chinatown folks lining up all
the time, but there used to be
Chinatowns in cities and towns,
big and small all across this
country. In fact the longest
running family owned Chinese
restaurant is in a place you
might never think of
Butte Montana.
>> At the turn of the century
Butte Montana was a bustling
mining out
the invention of electricity
leading to a demand for
conductors like copper. Mining
boom, the city flourished the
demand for labor book,
thousands of immigrants to
Butte they came from so many
countries, including Italy,
Ireland and China it was the
classic portrait of the
American West with gambling so
lose.
Red light district
by 1914 Butte China town was
thriving with over 60 Chinese
owned businesses.
>> Now we're going to prepare
broadly beef and Jerry Tam and
I'm the owner of the Pekin
noodle parlor.
>> The peak first opened as a
tobacco shop and casino run by
Jerry's great uncle yeah 2
years later, I'm adding a
restaurant and the Pekin noodle
parlor was born.
>> This building has 3
different levels, the top level
obviously is that Pekin noodle
parlor and then the second
level on the main Street used
to be a herbal medicine shop.
>> That shop was run by Jerry's
great grandfather. Kim Kwan,
it's crazy to think that.
>> Everything came over from
China.
>> At one time like they didn't
make soy sauce in America,
the noodles for pride and
brought over chefs because they
didn't make fresh kills so the
history of this place really
holds true that this is a
Chinese restaurant from Chinese
immigrants.
>> I met up with culinary
historian grace young to learn
more about America's earliest
Chinatown where was the first
Chinatown and how to get
started.
>> The first trying town is San
Francisco, the first Chinese
came to California. For the
Gold Rush and that was 1848,
and they can because America
needed cheap labor and so from
Gold Rush they ended up doing
farming manufacturing and then
eventually they worked on the
transcontinental railroad and
the first trying time for him
because America wanted cheap
labor, but they didn't want the
Chinese to live with lights so
they were ostracized from white
communities.
>> So talk to me about that
first wave of of Chinese
immigration to the U.S..
>> The Chinese came from 7
Shiner from principally from
the area can Tom and there was
tremendous prejudice against
the Chinese they were Lynch and
because the Chinese were
willing to work for lower
wages. They were seen as the
reason why Americans are
suffering so much of the blame
was unfairly placed on the
Chinese.
>> In 1882 Congress side, the
Chinese exclusion act into law.
It banned Chinese from
migrating to the U.S. it marks
the only time in American
history that entire race or
ethnic group was banned from
immigrating.
>> But the interesting thing
about this exclusion act was
that there was actually
exemption for Chinese tourists
students, teachers and also
merchants.
>> A landmark court case in
1915, classified Chinese
restaurant owners as merchants.
>> And it gave them a way to
circumvent exclusion act of
1882.
>> It was this exemption that
allowed Jerry's great uncle to
open Pekin noodle parlor in
Butte paving a path for more
family members to immigrate to
the U.S. and help the business.
Jerry father Danny want arrived
in the U.S. in 1947 as a team.
>> Ever since he was 14 years
old he's been working at the
peak of little parlor and he
just started with the support
walls of Washington says, and
then he learned how to cook
and he slowly just started to
grade himself into managing
that and working with the
director says the staff.
>> Danny taking over the
restaurant in the 1950's
spending years turning it into
a pillar of the local community
I've been coming here for at
least 50 years the give me
plenty of food I never walk
away hungry.
>> I love coming to work
because of all the people I
work with like they choose
really nice people and your
father probably played over
10,000 people at this you know
throughout this whole entire
life. So it's interesting to
know that fish nearly 5 to 6
generations of people that you
know have worked there.
>> The menu of Pekin noodle
parlor hasn't changed much over
>> We do what they call chop
suey what shops who he is is to
the years.
that of leftover vegetables
that are kind of mix together
some gravy and served on top of
our main goals we've been
sitting there for over a 110
years.
>> Shops is in large part why
Chinese became so popular
across the United States.
>> Chop suey was the first time
America experienced a culinary
craze, a food critics and it's
starting at the end of the 19th
century that there are
Americans who are venturing
into trying to out the way they
got them to even experiment
with Chinese food was to make a
stir fry that was actually
quite bland so they used bamboo
shoots water chestnuts onions
oftentimes that were celery for
many years.
>> Chinatown's with the only
places where 9 Chinese
Americans could sample Asian
flavors.
>> Americans are going to
Chinatown some were curious.
They watch experience curio
shops, Chinese opera.
>> With increased tourism
Chinatown's of large cities
groove.
It was a different story in the
tent like many mining towns
Butte lost many of its workers
as production slowed in the
1950's.
>> But the copper who ran dry
and the people start to pick up
and just kind of
move it move on and move back
to their families and the
bigger states.
>> As miners left Butte for new
opportunities, it's Chinatown
disappeared in the early 1900
there were 7 chop suey
restaurant listed in the Butte
city directory today only the
Pekin noodle parlor remains
open.
Jerry Tim runs the Pekin noodle
parlor in Butte Montana.
>> People may know this is all
the changes, fresh eye of
America. Hello, it is so much
history.
>> Despite peak its historic
status. Jerry says he was never
pressured by family to join the
business.
>> I never learned to cook and
tally came back back in round
2009. Because light,
any Asian American and parents
what are their kids to go to
college so we all went to
college is up around the nation
and to get a better education
to become a lawyer or a doctor
and what have you but I would
just caution and what is great
about that as I got to see the
world because of it.
>> In 2004 Jerry even appearing
on Bravo's project runway.
But a few years later family
duty calling him home.
>> And the First Amendment had
a stroke so my dad news help
you know taking care of her and
take care of the restaurant,

they were in a generation where
they loved each other every
day. And they were just best

>> He never stopped working so
he was working here all the way
up to 85 to we couldn't make up
the stairs anymore my father
and I spent every day together
at a church he was that he was
healthy all the way to the air.
The best of my ability I can
do. My father passed in
November. And it was really you
know heartbreaking he didn't
want to say goodbye to
my sisters are being here this
restaurant or the community,
he loved the Montana.
>> Jerry now runs Pekin noodle
parlor with his cousin Nelson
together they're working to
preserve a family legacy.
Keep a piece of Chinese
American history alive in an
unlikely place.
>> I've been asked the question
was the future the peak and and
the best answer I can give you
is, let's just keep it the
wet start to change anything
because that's what people come
state
here for the and have their
parking spots they have their
boost they have their favorite
place at the Mar think they
want any change because this is
a place that just Michael.
>> While New York City is home
to America's largest Chinatown
the honor of the older, those
to San Francisco and that's
where the Far East Cafe is
located it is one of the last
remaining historic Chinese
banquet Hall.
After a two-year hiatus, this
celebrated venue hosted the
64th annual missed Chinatown
USA pageant a lunar New Year
tradition.
The occasion marking a
triumphant milestone for the
century-old institution.
>> Bill Lee has owned the farm
I think since 1999 his
daughter, Kathy working by his
side as the manager.
>> He put me into the
restaurant to kind of
understand the roots of
our culture he wanted me to
remember that you know China
town is about community is
about traditions is about
culture.
>> For many in the community
Chinese banquet halls are more
than just venues for special
events.
>> I feel that far East is kind
of like a second home for you
know a lot of our peaches that
come in because they feel so
comfortable so much history and
so many memories, you know,
a lot of patients that have
been here they told me they're
like home. My parents had my
rage in your party, it's very
similar to like about his and
that was like 50 something
years ago.
>> And that history is
everywhere you look at far
>> The ceilings like my dad
mention the high ceilings
moldings modems are all
regional no match in trouble on
40 from China. In the 1920's.
So there are over a 100 years
old.
>> For the last few decades,
there were 5 giant banquet
style restaurant in San
Francisco's Chinatown
but with rising rents and
gentrification most have since
close their doors.
By early 2020.
Only 2 banker has remained.
>> The Far East Cafe planned to
celebrate its 100 year
anniversary with a big
celebration instead it's now
planning to close its doors.
>> At the start of the pandemic
the restaurant state afloat by
cooking meals for senior
citizens and low income
residents in China to that cold
but hahntown night we applied
for it PPP loan suddenly got
over $200,000.
We also received money from the
feed and flu program and our
landlord gave us 6 months of
free rent some thought
beyond covid a different type
of Irish brought more harm
Chinatowns across the country.
Anti Asian hate crimes soaring
by nearly 340% in 2021.
>> When this started happening,
I felt very very sad and also
very angry because I liked why
is this happening to trying
town why is it happening to our
country we know for these
people to target elderly people
to pushing down to rob them
don't be realize that they have
grandparents to or they have
unsettled by Beach and the
happened to their parents POW
with the field then.
>> People saw the attacks when
they watch the news and heard
reports, and they got even more
scared, they don't want to go
out even for special events
like the mid autumn festival.
We tried to invite them, but
they didn't want to come.
>> We used to be open until 10
o'clock before pandemic
sometimes was stay out here
until midnight if we had events
now we can't we can't do that
we changed the business hours
to close at 7, 7, 30 because
safety is the most important

town still face hostility.
thing.
George and Cindy Chen open
China live in 2017.
>> We've been lucky, I'm we're
going to have a couple
instances where
you know people scream
anti-asian slurs we're
concerned about our employees
you know coming to work in and
being harassed.
I think that ignorance is very
unfortunate.
>> China live is a massive
market place with multiple
restaurants, it's in a building
that once housed a banquet Hall
like far East.
>> I remember coming to away
here when I was in college I
who I think will be 5,000
people in life 6 restaurants.
But unfortunately, you know
real estate was getting very
expensive. So it's not very
cost effective if you don't
have that business.
>> 2 years ago the couple had
to lay off 200 workers.
However with the support of
partners, George and Cindy were
able to pivot their business on
a few fronts.
>> We did you know
the ghost kitchen was something
outside the box. So we have 10
locations in the Bay Area.
Sauceda Berkeley.
And and they can order food
from those ghost kitchens.
>> Ghost kitchens, prepare
restaurant, quality food
exclusively for delivery or
takeout.
>> We sold so many key conducts
we didn't know what to do with
all that that that so what do
you do make popcorn with it.
So that's why we have a
different popcorn.
>> As business picked up on
China live was able to rehire
100 workers.
Despite an uncertain future
these restaurants remain
hopeful that business will
rebound.
>> More police presence people
are more as a community
standing up for ourselves
making sure that we have like
the buddy system making sure
that we're together and we feel
safe that were walking together
that we have each other's back.
>> We need it. I was an
essential part of life I
one more fun is that look
forward to having dinner with
friends you haven't seen a new
place for favorite place.
>> But some old favorites just
can't be replaced. Why your
mind that during the pandemic
many restaurants have shut down
8 so far East is now the
biggest restaurant in Chinatown
the ball far East has to be
space big enough to host large
events for the community.
>> We were overjoyed having
that Mister trying to tell us a
event here. A press conference
and just being able to
reconnect with the community.
It warmed my heart and my dad
was like so overjoyed that
people are coming in just to
celebrate.
>> To learn more about the
future of Chinese American
restaurants. I went to visit
chef Lucas in in New York City
this savvy ship is on a mission
to save mom and pop shops from
closing
putting a spin on the classics.
>> Hey, yeah, I mean to you all
right can't wait to Yahoo.
>> Lucas was born and raised in
Hong Kong
growing up he had never heard
of dishes like general tso's
chicken what was your first
experience with Chinese
American yeah, and did you go.
>> What the heck is this.
I was here for summer camp and
on Tuesdays at 10 o'clock or so
right before bedtime this Van
would pull out in the front of
the school. And you can pick
between since we checked in
general, so she can orange
chicken with broccoli and fried
rice or what race or whatever
it was. The first thought was
that this is the security
situations where it's been my
whole life and the second
thought is that what in the
world of difference in orange
chicken Jones has taken and
says we take and why is there
so much that don't understand
about this if last time I
checked was trying to ease.
>> Lucas actually study
cognitive scientist Gayle,
but he always had a passion for
cooking. His summers spent
training award-winning
restaurants in Hong Kong and
Japan
after graduating in 2015 Lucas
opened his first restaurant
with Yale classmate John's out
June, the kitchen is a fast
casual chain that serves modern
Chinese fair, but Lucas
remained passionate about the
Chinese American cuisine he
first tasted visible.
>> So so how did Chinese
American food, the food that we
have become a familiar with how
did that develop that.
>> Now Chinese takeout is
interesting right because it's
all over the United States.
So these folks come in the
front is in a restaurant right
they learn those recipes and it
goes somewhere else right over
there actually and then their
cousins come from fees and then
those recipes are passed on and
there's a remarkable similarity
to to to these dishes.
>> Despite the popularity of
Chinese American food, many
family owned restaurants that
want got a Chinatown and other
urban areas have been closing
for years.
>> Open restaurants really
difficult and running
restaurants is perhaps even
more difficult these moms and
dads
over these Russians that their
kids can go to University and
become lawyers and doctors and
television host and whatnot and
now that they're finally able
to do that they don't need to
run these restaurants anymore.
Right the light suddenly
livelihoods have changed that's
a good thing.
>> Lucas and young hatched an
idea to help smaller businesses
in 2019 nice day seeks out
restaurants facing closure then
works with the owners to
remodel the space and update
the menus.
The pandemic stall the team's
initial plant, but the second
location in Long Island is
slated to open this spring.
>> It's important to me that
these new Chinese American
takeout restaurant so we're
building called nice day
work with the previous
generation of owners because
they have a lot of knowledge
that we don't they know their
customers you know what sells I
think how to cook these dishes
and recipes.
>> You raise an interesting
point that you talk to these
retired this Chinese restaurant
owners
is that part of the sense of
trying to
memorialize what could be lost.
>> Now preserving recipes as
part of it.
The other important parts
preserving the way business is
done to take a restaurants and
one of the few restaurants in
the world that if they're open
from 11 to 10 and the work
hours are 11 to 10 you don't
have any prep hours, the same
Cook cent
do the walks are fries are also
prepping during the day,
it's ridiculous the efficient
and it's got to do with the set
up and the waves because of the
run, but it's also important to
us that we give back this last
generation that we can make
sure that
owners want to retire retire,
well, and that that legacy can
be preserved a new type of
American trying to take a rest
>> While nice day pays homage
to popular Chinese American
room.
recipes Lucas has been
celebrated for his innovative
fusion dishes.
In 2021, he was named one of
food wine's best new ships.
>> We serve oppo Mac and cheese
air which is a variation on
that fish.
Fusion the kind of silly and
it's just an attempt to
something ridiculous it doesn't
make any sense if it rains
every chef sensibility that I
have but unfortunately is
delicious and it's interesting
and it gets people talking.
>> Finally it's time to eat
Locust showing me how to make
his signature dish.
>> How do we get sort so the
Michael Mac and cheese.
Here in the Mac and PC the
audience are vigorously
America. We have this Elmo
macaroni right top way and this
is be there. But the model is
going to be in the form of up
sauce if you will the last 2
elements that really sort of
take us over the edge is
Chinese sausage. It can
function like bacon and some
giant you're talking about
streams that we've rehydrated
so to start off with just it
cut a couple of things
and this for we will then put
into the fire. There's can
close the jumping portion of
our progress.
Garlic and ginger are cooked to
freight.
>> Spicy bean paste and
soybeans
are added to start the songs.
>> The mixture to a boil to the
flavors infuse.

>> We like to play this dish in
Chinese takeout box while so

process croissant over the top

The so the amount of help from
these fresh show is actually
really important because they
cut through the heaviness of
there is this out.
Wow

minute.
The launch of the tofu
I hope we have the act on that
the U.S. also said yeah.
>> You've never had that Jews
had this.
>> Amid a global pandemic
changing family dynamics and
anti Asian races Chinatowns
across America and the
communities that sustain them
face a challenging road ahead.
>> Every business that is open
right now is still fighting for
its life and I think that the
best way to fight the
anti-asian hate is to show our
love for the community come to
Chinatown or your local Asian
American Pacific Islander,
the restaurant store market
give them your business we have
lost so much during the
pandemic and I think it makes
us all so much more conscious
that we have to protect what we
love.
>> What's happened everybody

special edition of pop star
plus the day, it's all Oscars

things to get to let's dive

what happens is a highly
destructive comment. Approaches
Earth. Savannah Guthrie spoke
with stars Leonardo dicaprio
and Jennifer Lawrence and
director Adam McKay.
>> So how certain is this 100%
certainty of impact please
don't say a 100%. So we just
call it a potentially
significant event, yeah, yeah.
>> A massive fireball speeding
towards are promising to
obliterate the planet you guys
discovered a Commons comedy
isn't exactly what comes to
mind, but the newfound don't
look from oscar-winning writer
and director Adam McKay is
counting on laughter to focus.
De un says on a deadly serious
matter this is kind of the feel
good feel bad movie of the
year.
>> How did you pull that off.
>> Pretty good description that
we made this movie during
pandemic before there was even
a vaccines so I think we're on
the move to laugh because
things were so grim. But at the
same time we needed to feel
some other feelings as well.
>> But the moment of impact on
a diet up something and
practice on my diet.
>> Leonardo dicaprio and
Jennifer Lawrence lead a
star-studded cast as to
astronomers trying to sound the
alarm on the comments that will
soon wiped out the world,
a not so subtle allegory for a
real correct climate change
after seeing the movie.
>> Last night something kind of
resonated means how we process
bad news.
How it becomes a debate how
truth and facts can be
distorted or politicized.
Originally, you know metaphor
for the climate crisis and then
covid hit and then a whole new
wave of the denial of science
it was amazing to witness.
What was going on in real time
as we were making this movie
and we're sitting there trying
to explain Sciences Fauci was
doing the same thing it was it
was a bizarre experience,
you've said Leo, you feel like
it cracks the code.
>> You also said yesterday, I
think that you're a little bit
of a Debbie downer fish.
I mean it's hard not to feel a
little bit helpless.
>> If you do fall about climate
change to this is it it's
nearly impossible to get people
to get a sense of urgency
and pulled a mirror to our
culture and media and and and
politics and all these things
and
I just felt like this was an
incredible gift to be a part of
a movie that encapsulated
exactly what we're going
through at this particular
moment in time, but yeah,
I am a bit of a Debbie downer
because the clock is absolutely
>> How big is this thing going
to the store last White House
ticking.
is that possible.
>> Jennifer your role is the
first who gets to really just
say this is insanity that just
feel great.
>> Haha.
>> Yeah, I mean it was it's
just kind of unleashing that
helplessness that I feel as I'm
a citizen and a human on.
The plan. It was also so
poignant.
All of the ire. It kind of
landed squarely on on her
shoulders because she was
saying something that people
don't want to hear.
>> During filming before she
was pregnant Lawrence took her
approach of getting into
character to a new high.
>> Before the movie started
there was a lot more in the
script ktva ski was high pretty
much the whole the whole time
we thought if there was a scene
where I was talking it could be
funny to like actually just
like see that kind of just like
glassy.
>> Stare there was one scene
where she definitely was like
I'm I'm going to speak tonight,
I was like no, you're not she's
like I'm gonna try it because
it does fit the character and
the whole night I was so
tempted to go on the mic and
say hey let's supervisor model
and I realize how mean it would
be and I didn't not do a.
Yeah that respect for making us
yeah, it would have been.
>> Just oh my gosh sobering I
would. Yeah. Yes, sobering and
she was next to Meryl Streep I
was next to Meryl Street.
What was it like to be with
Meryl Streep because I know
she's an idol of everyone's.
>> Her improvisation was
incredible to you know shooting
this during covid and having
the mind of Adam McKay sort of
speak through a loudspeaker and
we were the sort of nerdy
scientist just trying to react
to this onslaught of different
directions that the scenes
would go at any given time
because he really created an
atmosphere where anything goes
not a lot of rehearsal just get
into the room and go out and of
course Merrill was incredible
incredible to work with.
There will be magnitude.
>> 10 or 11 earthquakes, your
reading we're in it to make me.
Sorry, I'm just trying to
articulate the science I know,
but you think so.
>> I don't he'll add lived a
lot of those lines. Yeah.
>> There is one day that was
just solely dedicated to him,
insulting me. I'm sorry who is
she and her son chief of staff
boy with the dragon tattoo so
I'm doing fine and that was
tough but it was one of the
greatest days of my life.
I heard you in helter nose ring
a few yeah, I said was a Magna
and poor Leo had to witness a
couple times.
>> We need making eye contact
with you well I got it. It did
happen a couple in them
and I never understood what the
Hell's going on.
>> We have the premier, how did
the ending go over I'm not
giving anything away.
>> It will kill me, I think it
was incredibly emotional and
you know I had this movie had a
different ending it wouldn't be
the story that it is and we're
not going to give that away but
he needed to have this.
The Senate needed that it's a
wake-up call so long Clark
and not a Hollywood ending no,
it's not that didn't have that
ending
was no way we're going to be a
part of it.
>> It's remarkable that so much
for such a serious topic it's
defined what all right coming

years to every Laker.
>> Yeah, sorry that you really

>> Covid safe.
>> Her all the best
conversations. So kind of you
it's awesome that you hear on
the Plaza, I just want to bask
in your or I agree, I mean
everything you touch is gold
whether you're directing and
producing it in its. I mean
you take it all in especially
when this movie is loosely
based on your life and and
people are obsessed with it.
>> Well thank you the its its a
bit of a welding, it's very
beautiful moment to to have
because it is based on a lot of
expenses I had is that getting
to falling in love with babies
the 9 to this country. So what
you end up being you look at
the film and you see a kid
watching babies from Hollywood
you end up. He have you know
heading towards the Academy
Awards with 7 nominations for 7
days, a bunch, what basic bunch
of people, it's it's it's
surreal but the thing that is
really beautiful is it seems
that to people in the Hawks.
>> It's written from the heart
and that's something that it
really has resonated with
people and obviously as you
mentioned the Oscar
nominations. They're being
rewarded that way 7 Oscar
nominations and you say it
setting a record for the most
number of Oscar nominations,
7 for mail for the different
categories.
>> So what did you know that
you were you are in contention
for the photo you've got to
enjoy it for any of that kind
of thinking about way by the
slice. It is that it's a it's a
must that's amazing absolutely
amazing to me that it. It
reminds me of the great a
privilege you have the biggest
story tell it from different
parts of the kind of created a
place where the act obviously,
but in this like it's a direct
view the full kid in place the
9 year-old the son of me if you
like that he's an amazing not
too young to deal and then
we've got to the other end of
the scale.
>> They shoot was going to ask
the Kass is incredible we have
here in lines jet Dame Judi
Dench both of them received

train about the newcomer to
Hill who they say Steve stills
every scene I mean what is that
like we have such an all-star
>> Well and they will be so the
Screen Actors Guild reward them
cast.
with all solvable the
nomination which for me was
that proof of the pudding the
kind of connective think
between the weird side effect
of covid was the best family
that on screen family became
very bonded need that cost
bubble. He did leave I had no
choice but to get on it,
I'm Pat's a uniform
relationships sooner and
quicker and more meaningfully
and it comes across I think the
old you is always it should
this I think that that feeling
of a real family identifies
with what a lot of families
have to deal with the tough
decisions in their lives,
a big ones for that simple when
you look outside really court
beautifully by this big

Hollywood you're going to be
walking the red carpet at the
Oscars are Oscar nominee to
come right out of the box like
this. What is that experience
been like for you.
>> I really hope I don't trip.
What I'm hoping that I don't I
mean it's been incredible and
we're making the movie we
didn't think about anything
like that we were just trying
to make something that we loved
and every day we showed up to
that so happy I didn't want to
leave and it was such an
incredible experience, I'm just
Ike I still can't even believe
I'm sitting here talking to you
guys talking about Lakers
pizza. I mean it's wiles.
>> Okay last so what about when
you were young and you are in
the family band, which is kind
of my dream for my little
children to create some sort of
family then you show it rocking
high. Yes, so when you split
first of all for your pals my
God. While the sisters with
either. Haha and this band with
your parents, yeah, I wish we
had like a group fighting.
Oh my God.
But when you decided like OK,
we're going to actually go out
and be huge rock stars on our
Mike I can imagine that
conversation sitting at the
kitchen table with a lot like
>> His sibling citing 3 chairs
might be set up 2 chairs my
this.
no, I mean I think that with
rock and I mean I was so you
hand
have your only playing covers
it started as 4 years old we
would only play like Delhi, u n
n they like country fairs and
street fairs like it was
nothing it was not the big.
A lot of Billy Joel a lot of
you know Rolling Stones it was
it was cool cool. We're
terrible haha well.
But yeah in 2007 me and my
siblings decided like maybe we
should play music together
because we've been playing for
so long and.
>> That famous deli circuit and
the value. Civil suit that was
like worth it.
>> The cool sea on acting just
saying all right. We've got
some great stuff coming up the
power of the dog has count 12
nominations that is the most of
any film this year we spoke to
the film's production designer
about just how they were able
to create that cool nights and
27.
pop star plus Oscars preview
r
not seen the Western the power
of the dog will recognize the
air in Montana landscape we
learn from the greats.
And major that's the film's
Oscar nominated production
designer, about all those
behind the scenes work that was
needed to create the look and
feel of exactly what you see on
screen.
>> He's a production design.
My responsibilities, screen at
the some of the time and the
place with within which the
drama takes place on the power
of the dog.
A story stock sunlight to 25
and the state of Montana I
didn't have to sort of
week highs and Ty law isn't
going to do to boost up.
The American story tell how
that all is based on a book by
Thomas Edison from the 1960's
and goals a family of 2
brothers who run a cattle
ranch, we showed you 0 so it
was incumbent on us to be able
to find a location that would
play for one time. I'm hoping
that the New Zealand, this all
up sort of diminishes somewhat
because this really is the
story said a long time around
and we should believe it to be
some time, the belt is
something odd about it was very
much a place that time forgot
and many was you know, because
it's quite a long time between
200 years ago for once and
would before place that didn't
have a lot of them.
Farm buildings and the
agricultural accouterments
so we're very lucky to be able
to fund this place that was
some. There is some payback was
already a cattle ranch, but
also had a little the process
that we were looking for but
you have to spend a little time
trying to not back to green us
on the grass and make it feel
will air it to give it up just
to reduce the kind of tell us
quite a lot because it was very
green moment, we're also able
to use the cattle that was on
the ranch and there's very
little else that we build
everything we built the House
we will catch you. And the
Cowboys quarters. Police what's
the all the elements of the
scripts I was witness to be
able to start with the 2
candidates and building think
the ground up.
>> Jane Campion and I've come
across each of the 50 years
that they all Syrian pretty
spot here.
This little style and
professionalism and we did a
lot of which shopping. You know
why to be able to talk about
that it pushes way of going
about making something real not
because we saw with the U.S.
lost in the script.
We didn't need to build the
House as a 3.60 degree
building. So you know we didn't
shoot all the way around the
building and we need to shoot
inside the location from goals
and saw the windows. So they'll
be here is that the kitchen and
around the water cooler Cowboys
dining area so they will have a
direct relationship to the
location that we could see up
to the windows framed that
primes was something that we
try to bring in the is this is
something about looking out to
the little innocent looking
into that when the Senate
because of a shuttle coming up
I speak to that was kind of a
nice so something like.
>> That's the most challenging
was it wasn't just the 6 that
we were doing we were doing the
whole bar much so a lot of the
with the 2 subsequent building
was old age prices which were
just endless amounts of time
washes and takes 2 watches and
period back and put it in the
election and the losses unless
a stop to the outside of the 6.
The same goes for the inside
says it will go to the stage is
open to a lot of work into the
Petit knows all too well, the
rules and just to give them a
female,
all of life and during
Michigan's to live there in
Caulfield to everything that we
may have to return says group
of Senate office and of course
the city correct is that the
crew would just like so
enthusiastic about the spill
was what his status will ever
come to getting hundreds of
this. This thing was like was
the pitch proportion scripts to
continue to make it I am so
proud to be caught all the
have a little fun moment, one
that the gotten so many
nominations.
>> So we should learn about all
these processes that are
happening behind the scenes to
create those cool visuals we've
got a lot more behind the
scenes inside to share with you
sci-fi fan favorite tunes up
for 10 Oscars, one is for the
category of cinematography
thanks to a nominee. Greg
Frazier here's what he hopes to
convey through the lens of his
camera.
>> My greatest goes the tougher
generally is to not have people
I know that I had a job on the
film. So it's a bit of a tricky
one because of course
everything that you see on
screen is lens through my
camera in my teens camera June
he said minis in the future.
It is a time when humans have
has evolved to the point where
they're able to do away we've
with computers infected.
So this is my first film with
the name of the major thing
that I took away from my first
meeting today was his passion
for the 2 spoke with a teenager
and stayed with him all those
years while she's been learning
is Kroft of filmmaking and the
way I approached it with
affected by seeing the world
through the names on it.
>> I very much wanted to up to
my eyes, the emotional a
quality and a lot of the week
we shop since becoming a
cinematographer before that I
was at the top offense in
effectively. I've been studying
lot now 20 plus he is very much
trying to and mostly tended to
what life does for us as
humans. So it was trying to run
that kind of that line all of
subtlety yet. The fact that the
like really ease a cat that is
you need to make sure that when
you're inside the household
that you are aware the fact
that you should not be outside
like that was a voice of a
difficult tricky place to big
Sur. I want to make sure that
that building it's felt that
that over time will they have
the the underlying feeling that
it wasn't always a full, but
the sort of allowed the
backbone of the candidates to
understand where they were
we always made sure that we
were primarily by Sam sessions
on kerik that regardless of
what the U.S. decisions ended
up being and artist monitoring.
But we want to try and make
these Terrapins reliable.
Video games and part of that I
think is the way that we can
have the you know we want to
make sure that as the camera
way we're close to them but we
know so close within the next
phase, one upset about back
they would not tell me that my
mobility since because again
lenses I think have an
emotional bed to the lens is
too long, but it's too wide we
start to feel something
different and who didn't and I
would. But the quiet adamant
about making sure that that
lens it's a set within that
space but what they want to too
aggressive and being being too
>> We played along with sky on
this show, you know the the
sanctions that would you know
running up the running down its
engines for example in in the
county that you ordinarily see
you and good luck with the
agency it stand out. That's 17
stories high and so we want to
make sure that the the 40 and
soul felt the scale of those
things and that's where I found
it exciting physically putting
putting up because it's in the
middle of a sentence like said
why didn't the ready just to to
consume them we just the camper
I think by playoff going NL
yeah that that that that is a
pretty fast weight due to close
lead your team to a belief that
the continent's the world is a
little less rigid, but also
what that did is 11 us from one
to 2 shots that were very
controlled very very focused
and very steady. You know what
I do how it comes across in
this film.
So the rest of plea is the
relationship with the cat is
the kind of his relationship
with make sure you know that
we've managed to capture.
The Heat have just as they were
intended to to be be be seen by
the recent by Frank and then a
director that bills to black to
white that I've done justice
directives and make them feel
like to performances debating
every public action recorded
it, you know winning an Oscar
is is right.
We felt it so happens to me I
think the biggest thing is the
is the recognition all out
individual work on and on and
on the left
bright be film what your hands.
>> Now the shots and dinner
just.
Coming up next. We're exploring
the makeup and costumes
featured at this year's Oscars
with 2 acclaimed designers stay
with us.
are going to dive right into
some costumes now there are
some of the good ones and films
that were Paul Tazewell as the
brains behind the costumes that
scene in the new film version
of West Side Story is nominated
for an Oscar for his work and
spoke to him about what it was
like working with the legendary
Steven Spielberg on his re
imagining of the classes.
>> With that I approach my
work, it's telling the story
and being in support of the
story from the standpoint of
clothing and how all the
characters might choose their
clothing for specific scene or
moment. I see my work as a very
powerful part of the creative
process for the director for
the actors and then how a place
for the presentation overall
and how the audience and gauges
with that when I was asked by
Stephen to design with side
story I was very aware that was
a story that the original
Broadway production wow was
done in 1957. So it was
important for us even to
recreate the world in 1957 in
New York City that everything
time the way that I created a
big contrast of the Caucasian
community, you know as as it
relates to the Jets and then
the shore community as it
relates to the latinx next to
you for the Jets, the film
opens where they are in there.
Essentially in their playground
so with with the the Jets I
worked to keep them in pools I
do know a lot of Blues and
greens and grays and some of
that was influenced by my use
of data I think you got Jean
Zahn and a look at how American
jeans I have become actually in
our in our you know my whole
church versus the the Puerto
Rican community or that the
charts where they are you know,
they're they're more for warmth
and want to miss that you know
kind of dip into where where
they come from the tropical
colors that they've come from I
knew that that purple dress
that we were able for the and
also if you're a bear in the I
want to show you know it was it
was going to be important too
find I look I look for you to
play for and those that would
feel as iconic as that dressed
could be so big as I was
choosing cars, you know if
you're headed to the color
surrounding her. And she's
saying you know patterns that
would surround was well because
a lot of fuel and so use within
that it's well again to be
reflective of
the the you know that the
tropical Island that they come
from the 30 didn't see any of
that.
>> One of the original things
of that Steven Spielberg ask
you to do anything he was asked
to design the show was that he
wanted it for the right price
for Maria to stay part of the
design I love that idea because
you know I it speaks to her
innocence. It also speaks too
culturally to where she's
coming from her connection to
the Catholic Church and the
potential you know just a
feeling oppressed fight back,
you know that kind of pressure.
It where she is as a young
woman we're trying to evolve
and grow and expand and and
really be you know and embrace
this new space that isn't part
of the white dress and that
ball for Maria is the rent you
know, and you know it's
Stephen, you know we again was
very smart in having. I need it
takes about also for our office
for out to achieve plan for the
dance the gym and handing it
over to react really as a you
know, if it's a metaphor for
her ushering her into womanhood
and that that kind of positive
energy that you know that kind
of sister.
They did a great race issues in
America and it's a it's it's
our most American.
>> Social battle.
So I think that you know with
what you know has inspired all
of us have experienced in the
last 2 years. I'm definitely it
it speaks to that and
it's nice to get just a
question of what does it take
to come together having a
musical that canned he filled
with joy and
I you know positive energy and
excitement and you know it is
holds go, you know what side
story has. These huge numbers,
beautiful music and you know,
so I think that it is you need
something that we can embrace,
and feel good about and I think
that was a story provides a.
>> You can just see the
richness and all the attention
to detail when you watch that
always so full hearing from
people like all right now,
let's turn to another story
being told at this year's
Oscars in the film, the eyes of
Tammy Faye Jessica Chastain
plays event local talk show
host Tammy Faye now, Linda
doubts is nominated for her
makeup design, the film and she
says she worked really hard to
portray Tammy Faye as
authentically as possible
through the makeup that Tammy
Faye actually warming ocean
where a lot.
>> As a makeup designer I think
that our key responsibility is
to support the performance by
an actor and then I think
there's an additional
responsibility when you are
looking to create a real-life
character and that involves a
lot of research and trying to
be as authentic as possible to
the parents of that person
which was the case of Tammy
Faye
Tammy Faye and her husband Jim
Bakker where we liked held
Angeles
and they had a very large fall
from grace and Mina undergoing
the most vicious attack.
>> Serving God, don't feel like
it to be a money-making
opportunity.
>> And through my research I
listening to the old ptl
recordings and Tammy herself
and all other issues and what I
discovered was that I really
believe that a misconception of
who she was I found her to be
incredibly empathetic actually
really beautiful human being
she exuded I think the real
tense of being a good person
she taught tolerance and except
dance and being authentic to
yourself and being the best
person that you can be and that
authenticity became super
important and we wanted to
convey that.
>> Some of the steps that we
went through to portray I'm
Tammy Faye is authentically as
we could it was such a team
effort we had just Raleigh and
his team from brexit effects
who did this text. I'm
Stephanie Ingram, good hair
Mitchell Travers did costume
and then myself doing it the
side of things one could not
move forward properly without
the others so I think that was
a really key elements and then
Tammy Faye told us a lot about
herself in her interviews and
you just have to look at her
she was very well put together
everything matching coordinated
she loved shopping and drug
stores and target she looked
paints and we have sort of 3
major stages so it was a very
young stage of Tammy Faye where
she was at Bible College
and she created a little bit of
ruffle them because she didn't
wear a little bit of makeup.
I think that's where we first
saw her her love of that and
then we have a period where
sort of that middle ground
where we see her on the
Christian broadcast network, we
see our ptl and there's a lot
of color and everything was
that true matching matching we
saw the brighter colors we saw
violets and blues and pinks
and and as she grew older and
as she had sort of that last
face we saw I think the tones
all changed everything got a
little deeper, they got into
plums and purples and deeper
tomes and their wakes got
darker your costumes that
darker she was into more rents
in blocks and then of course
there's the aging process which
was reflected in the study
pieces so I think those tree
stages we kind of defined
stages very specifically which
also helped us through the
transition of you know almost
will you know basically 3 and a
half decades of what Tammy Faye
look like.
>> To remover on all over
that's it.
Beyond there permanently line.
My eyes are permanently lined
in my browser permanently has
with that. There's not a whole
lot you can do.
My goodness I didn't know that
have you never done pictures
without those I don't know snow
and I never will because that's
my trademark and you know if I
take that away then it's not me
and know what's going to look
at me without my trademark so
hold on to that.
>> Doing something like this it
does involve a lot of research
and she often talked about some
of the brand's she used for
example she use l'oreal lash
out that was her choice of Miss
Kara and she used a lot of
drugstore brands and a lot of
those callers funny enough,
particularly those little quads
that you see that l'oreal and
Revlon unable to you know put
out those colors have pretty
much maintained a lot of the
same sort of tones so I bought
those sold only help show the
true look at what it was.
So I think the research is
super important.
So just tonight we have worked
together for quite a number of
years now well currently
working on our 16th project
together which is that. I mean
the series about George Jones
and Tammy Wynette and I think
the lovely thing for us is I
mean just an amazing
collaborator so for me I find
it really great that she is
really supportive of the whole
process recognizes that there
are all of these elements that
we need to pull together and
how she's a really great active
participant. In the choice
making of developing the
character. It is a joy to work
with somebody who is engaged in
what we do. And has a love what
we do you know that I feel
because I love my job and so.
>> To be honored in this way I
actually can't quite the league
that however it all falls, this
is brilliant and I I'm really
happy with every element of it
as it stands right now.
>> The research and planning
that goes into each of these
films is
absolutely remarkable funded
tied behind the scenes here
we've got a lot more to come up
for you still we're going to
bring you all the potential
history making moments to look
for at this year's Oscars.
winners at this year's ceremony
could make history a lot of
different fronts. Here's Turner
Classic movies, host Dave
Karger breaking down what you
might expect.
>> The Oscars have already made
a lot of history this year with
the nominations that came out
they can make even more history
with the winners at the end of
the month, here's half.
>> First up in the acting
categories is something really
fun for the first time ever
there are 2 couples nominated
in all 4 of the acting
categories so in lead actor and
actress Javier Bardem for being
the ricardos and Penelope Cruz
from parallel mothers are
nominated in the supporting
categories. Jesse plemons and
Kirsten dunst were costars as
well in the power of the dog,
they were both nominated
married couples have been
nominated before the Oscars,
but never in all 4 acting
categories that's kind of cool.
>> Also in the best actress
category if Kristen Stewart
wins best actress for her
performance as Princess Diana
in Spencer,
she would be the first person
ever to win a lead actor Oscar
without being nominated.
For the sag awards where the
British Academy or bafta
awards. This is majorly
significant because there's a
lot of overlap between the
voting body of the Oscars and
the voting body of the sag and
bafta awards so it's very rare
for someone to win an Oscar
without also at least getting
nominated it has happened a
couple times in the supporting
actress category Marcia Harden
one without a sag and bafta
nomination Regina King won
without a site about Saddam
nation but it's never happened
in the history of the sag
awards which is 27 years that
someone has won a lead acting
Oscar without a sad or bafta
nomination.
In the best supporting actor
category, Troy kotsur from
Florida has become the first
deaf man ever to be nominated
for an Oscar his costar in the
movie Marley matlin was the
first death actress to be
nominated in the 1980's for
children of a lesser God and
she won. That's actress,
let's see if Troy kotsur can
also win an Oscar for his first
nomination.
There's also some history that
could be made in the best
supporting actress category if
Arianna to bows wins for her
performance as Anita in West
Side Story first of all she
would be the first openly women
of color ever to win an Oscar
so that will be a very exciting
moment. If she does when she
will also make it the 3rd time
that 2 actors have won Oscars
for playing the same role in 2
different movies.
>> So Marlon Brando and Robert
De Niro both won Oscars for
playing you for unity in 2
different godfather films,
and of course the ledger and
Joaquin Phoenix both won Oscars
for playing the Joker in 2
different goals. So if you are
a 100 of those winds will be
the same role that Rita Moreno
won her Oscar for 60 years ago
that would be great.
There's some more history that
could be made in the best actor
category will Smith is already
the 9th person and the second
black man to be nominated for
acting and producing the same
film King Richard if he wins
the best actor Oscar which I
think he's going to he would be
the 5th.
>> Black actor ever to win the
best actor Oscar after sitting
watching Denzel Washington.
Jamie Foxx and forest.
There's also a full statistic
in the best picture race
involving Cate Blanchett with
course is one of the most
acclaimed actors or actresses
working today with the best
picture nominations for don't
look up and nightmare alley
Cate Blanchett now surpasses
Olivia de Havilland rate
classic actress with films like
gone With the wind as the
performer who has appeared in
the most best picture nominees
of all time so it just goes to
show that whenever Cate
Blanchett makes it known
whether she's actually
nominated herself or not the
film always benefits from her
participation.
There's something really
exciting going on in the best
director category this year
first of all Steven Spielberg
with his nomination for West
Side Story becomes the first
person ever to be nominated for
best director in 6 consecutive
decades, so he got his first
director nomination for close
encounters of the 3rd kind back
in the 70's.
Wilbur wins the Oscar for West
Side Story he will become the
oldest best director winner of
all time at age 75 currently
that record is held by Clint
Eastwood one when he was 17.
This year's also a great year
for films written and directed
by women particularly in the
best adapted screenplay
category that screen plays that
are based on previously
published work performed
material like remake of a film
adaptation of a book and this
year for the first time in 30
years 3 of the 5 scripts that
are nominated for best adapted
screenplay written by within
code that national tater we
lost our by Maggie gyllenhaal
and the power of the dog by
Jane Campion
and I think you can get.
There's another thing to look
out for in this year's best
picture race I think for the
first time we could very well
see a best picture winner by a
streaming service at opposed to
a typical Hollywood studio.
I think the power of the dog
stands a really good chance to
win and that's a netflix movie
know streaming movie has ever
won. Best picture yet couple of
come close I think, but if
Howard the dog wins this will
be the first time that has ever
happened.
>> I know, I'll be tuning into
the Oscars on March 27 to see
all the history that's going to
be made.
Well what you have to wait and
see what happens now to close
out our preview coming up next
our interviews with the cold
Kidman and Javier Bardem and
Kristen Stewart.
preview Nicole Kidman and
Javier Bardem transport and
Lucy and Ricky Ricardo for the
film being the ricardos both
are nominated for their own.
And now John sat down with the
duo to learn exactly how they
prepared to play the TV icons.
>> I Love Lucy define the TV
sitcom in the 1950's still
iconic scenes like vitamin E
that Benjamin.
>> And then again.
>> And of course stopping
grapes in Italy.
Which was created in the new
film being the ricardos.
>> We only did it takes about
not yet.
>> Really yeah I was like I
spent 2 months prepare. Site is
Goldman.
>> Written and directed by
Aaron Sorkin being the
Ricardo's focuses on the behind
the scenes drama as Lucy and
desi's turbulent marriage and a
crisis that threatens to end
their careers and not telling
these people that I checked the
wrong box.
>> There were 181 episodes of I
Love Lucy did you watch all of
them, some of them what's all
in one night.
And to your family, your
friends, your face same really
maybe this is it.
>> They're all was really
haven't seen every in every
show there's always someone
else.
>> Really is brilliant that's
daunting to live up to when
news broke of Nicole Kidman's
casting not everyone thought
she was right for the role.
There are critics who say that
look like her can she do this
you like that give you any
space in your head or
>> try not to that human
beings. So this times and guy
caution public, maybe I'm not
the right person for this,
but that's where having
somebody like Aaron who really
said at the beginning the psych
Juan Tang a perfect rendition
are imitation of Lucy.
No no no no not.
>> Kidman actually felt a
special connection to Lucille
ball. A lot of us.
>> I can relate to and I got
okay, I've been in that
situation, I know that so what
you've been as the scene in it
where they say you're 39 and
that's it.
And it's kind of a that for you
I I know that feel
I sort of have that and I was
like OK where television
suddenly opened the door for
her and opened the door for
many around the same age I was
like cash. That's kind of I I
know that feeling really great
place.
>> Javier Bardem plays Desi
Arnaz the famous cuban-american
bandleader who is.
>> And those skills have been a
bit hard to replicate.
>> We played the Congress so
hard your hand lead at one
point is that yeah of course
you know that when you would be
hard to believe that you're
gonna come the players are you
I'm not I'm not. You want to
make it sound at all you know
they put in play backs. And you
say low to motor motor and then
you'll hear what you're doing
and then you go like crazy.
The cut is like what's going on
is the first active and you in
person right there I read that
you pursue this for for years,
what was it about this role.
And it's tough to watch the
episodes and they fell nearly
drove him to go like you said
he's killed this time he's
human in New York his way of
taking the place only in that
place in a moment where he was
so difficult to be a foreigner
in this country.
>> Kidman and barred him
capture the deep and
complicated love between Lucy
and Desi possibly drawing from
their own high-profile
marriages to Keith urban and
Penelope Cruz.
>> I think or both fortunate in
the sense of we have pot those
that understand the artistic
process and say I want you to
have that which I love.
>> It's a good to belong to us
that's a great start in such a
great movie. So what happens is
like.
>> Great to just get a snapshot
into the lives of Lucy and Desi
right now last but not least
Kristen Stewart we caught up
with her to chat about her
rules Prince stay on in the
film Spencer one that landed
her a nomination. For best
actress.
>> We've got an incredible
standing ovation when to sell
Spencer debut. And you really
embody Princess Diana which I
can't even imagine how
intimidating that is to take on
someone who is so well known
and how did you did you watch
the crown that was part of the
research.
>> Yeah I think I watched in
like 3 days. Yeah, it's nice to
have that and going through all
the memoirs and
research in documentaries that
actually are not remotely dry.
It's just nice to have like a
dramatized version of the story
to it.
It was very quick bet for me I
just couldn't stop going to the
next episode. How did you go
about like kneeling the accent,
the mannerisms all of the
things that were Princess
Diana.
She is not difficult to absorb
how to be honest and I wish
that there was a it's sort of
key to this magic trick.
I have my only answer is that I
I
took her into my physicality in
need of emotional spiritual way
I'm such a huge enormous at
Myer of her and it's hard to
not be impacted by that energy.
I just
also luckily had a good for 5
months store, but the beautiful
coach an a
yeah, I trust process, you know
it became really physical and
muscular and then once I got
there is really important to
focus on her spontaneity and
her life and every picture I've
seen of her every. But footage
I've seen of her she is exuding
life and just like kind of
exploding alive, so I couldn't
make everything perfect and
precise, you know I still
needed to kind of live and
breathe and feel and really
when she walked in the room.
It felt like you didn't know
what's going to happen and I
could see projections sort of
maybe our memories I've heard
and then knowing what happens
there's something about looking
back, you know, hindsight is
2020 every time I look at like
so you get a little bit worried
when I'm feeling really
captures that because there is
a certain unpredictability
about her and it's and actually
it's really interesting
construct because this isn't
supposed to be history. Yes
that scene really happened.
There's it's something poetic
you take 3 days and imagine
what those 3 days at Christmas
toward the end of their
relationship with that might
have been like is that what
kind of drew you to it this
idea of artistic license based
in someone we all know or feel
like we know.
Yeah, I think that's what
cinema gives us is a sort of
opportunity to dream and not
necessarily just regurgitate
facts
movies do the coolest thing
they take internal feelings and
external has them and there's a
saying that this conversation
is like literal and were
present were talking to there
now, but there are it there our
inner lives of people have that
are in communicable and so
I think all of the
things that we know are true
as a as a cultural
entity has an audience we bring
all of those facts to the movie
you don't have to state them.
I think by the end of the movie
we do we end on this sort of
lighter note because
she ultimately did find her
liberation and she broke free
and became embodied and
articulate and the press unlike
organized interviews was like
I'm going to speak for myself
and have my boys and and
protect what really matters to
me and then at the end of the
movie what rushes in is the
tragedy of what happened and
you go. Oh man,
you got to hold her whole life
and these 3 days without having
to sort of hit the nail on the
head and just feel so
emotional.
>> What's amazing how who's
going to transport you right
into somebody else's life.
All right everybody that was
our big Oscars preview. What's

>> We'll start with nbc's
Kristen Welker she's in Warsaw
where the president will be
later today, Kristen good
>> Savannah and hoda good
morning to both of you
morning.
president Biden is heading here
to Poland, this morning where
he's expected to put a focus on
the growing refugee crisis but
before he left Brussels, he
announced that the U.S. will
provide Europe with more
natural gas to help decrease
its dependency on Russia, it
comes as he wraps up a high
stakes summit all aimed at
getting flatter your proof to
back down.
This morning, president Biden
wrapping up marathon talks in
Brussels before heading this
can lead to deliver a critical
show of support to a key NATO
ally.
As Russia's war in Ukraine
rages on Poland is now the
epicenter of the humanitarian
crisis sparked by Russia's
invasion taking in more than
2 million refugees from Ukraine
in the last months concluding a
day of emergency meetings with
NATO and other allies the
president announced the U.S.
will commit more than a billion
dollars in humanitarian aid.
>> And take in Ukrainian
refugees, welcome 100,000
Ukrainians United States with a
focus.
>> Henri 19 families after
warning Vladimir putin may use
chemical and biological weapons
in Ukraine the president vowed
the U.S. will take action if
putin launches a chemical
>> Nature, the response to
depend on the nature of use.
attack.
>> But when pressed the
president did not say whether
that would trigger a military
response from NATO.
>> Would trigger a response in
kind whether or not you're
asking whether NATO would cross
where we make that decision at
>> Mister Biden and NATO also
unveiled new sanctions on
the time.
Russian lawmakers as the
president said he'll push for
Russia to be kicked out of the
G 20 representing the world's
largest economies. I answer is
yes, it depends on the G 20.
Still the president pushed back
when asked about us sanctions
against Russia.
Whether they failed to deter
people from going to war
something the Biden
administration initially said
was the goal, the president's
message now.
>> Sanctions never deter you
keep talking about that the
maintenance of sanctions,
increasing the pain that's what
will stop it.
>> And when asked if he was too
quick to take military action
off the table and whether that
involed including no one now.
>> So Kristen we talked about
the president going to Poland
today, obviously this is where
he will see that refugee crisis
firsthand.
>> That's absolutely right
Savannah and the stakes could
not be higher the president's
agenda will center on the
humanitarian crisis that is
unfolding here in Poland.
That we've all been witnessing,
he's going to kick that off by
attending an event aimed at
providing support for the
increasing number of refugees
here. He's also expected to
meet with American troops
center to bolster nato's forces
along the border and on his
final day tomorrow Mister Biden
will hold critical talks with
Poland's president all capping
off a really important trip the
president hopes hopes will
forced to take pause and scale
back his impressions of it.
>> Christian Walker thank you
very much. Let's get right to
the situation inside war torn
Ukraine where Russia is
stepping up attacks on even
more civilian targets, nbc's
chief foreign correspondent
Richard Engel is in key for us
once again. Hi Richard good
morning.
>> Good morning. Hoda many
developments overnight. Let's
start with the city of mariupol
the southern city is surrounded
by Russian forces it has been
bombed relentlessly nearly 2
weeks ago, Russia bombed a
theater in mariupol that was
sheltering hundreds of
civilians. This morning you
could local Ukrainian officials
claimed that that strike killed
several 100 Ukrainians in the
theater around 300 we can't
confirm that figure. But it
would be the single worst
atrocity since this war began
as Russia is continuing its
bombing campaign nationwide.
>> Overnight Russia continued
its bombing campaign striking a
fuel Depot outside kyiv trying
to cut supplies to the Capitol
and topple the government in
the long war of attrition.
In Har keeve to the east Russia
bomb more apartment building.
In the city relatives held a
funeral for Boris romantschenko
a 96 year-old Ukrainian June he
survive not see concentration
camps only to be killed by a
Russian bomb that hit his home
did you go the more his son
said his memory would not be
forgotten even though many of
the families papers and
photographs were destroyed.
Across keep the war restarting
to drag on many been living
down in the subway stations for
a month now, but it's Russia's
justification for the war that
bothers the tell you which is
why she says she has friends in
Russia who believe the Russian
propaganda that Russia is
fighting to topple Ukraine's
supposedly fascist and neo-nazi
government official of the
comments I've been sheltering
with my child in the Metro for
a month and they do not believe
me they say it's your fault,
you are to blame and it's you
you you she said only if the
nonstop reports, Russian state
TV described Russian troops as
liberators in Ukraine insisting
they never target civilians.
These are the first images from
inside the theater in Mario
pull Russia attacked 9 days ago
where hundreds of Ukrainian
civilians were sheltering.
Covered in dust, they seem
days. Many are women children
and the elderly.
A narrator on the video says
the missile hit the center of
the theater and people are
evacuating the site Mario pull
city officials citing witnesses
claimed 300 people were killed
in the attack. NBC News cannot
verify that claim.
The theater is in the center of
my real ID been clearly marked
with signs in Russia saying
children to indicate children
were inside Russia denied it
carried out the attack.
Ukraine is holding back the
Russian assault for now,
but it faces an army times its
size which president zelinsky
called on European leaders to
stand with Ukraine and on
people around the world to take
to the streets in solidarity
with his nation that he not
what he's done.
>> Here in Kiev this morning.
The air raid sirens have been
going off once again as Russia
is intensifying its attacks on
the city's northern suburbs.
All right Richard Engel for us
there in Kiev Richard thank
you.
>> For a lot of people heading
back to the office for the
first time in 2 years picking
up lunch is part of the daily
routine that's happening again,
yeah, it feels like that salad
or sandwich got more expensive
while you've been away.
>> It did. Yeah, this is
business and Tech correspondent
Jo Ling, Kent joins us with a
bit of an explanation, hey Joe
good morning.
>> Hey guys good morning.
Lynn flation has become an
expensive reality for people
going back to the office the
prices of CE salads sandwiches
and wraps even tacos going up
nationwide by a lot and it's
adding up 2 serious double
whammy on your wallet as you're
already spending more and more
for that gas to get back to the
office
with millions heading back into
the office again workers are
forking over more for lunch,
popular lunch spots like
sweetgreen saying they're
raising their prices in what's
being called lunch flation when
you see prices going up for
lunch, what runs through your
head this spending like $15 for
Saudi can they go home the
price you pay at restaurants.
Overall is up nearly 7% in the
last year alone the biggest
jump since 1981. According to
the tech company square the
price of a wrap it up 18% since
last year a sandwich rising 14%
salad soaring 11% and burgers
spiking 8% nationwide even Taco
prices have risen 12% these
hikes are due to labor
shortages in the skyrocketing
cost of ingredients.
>> It's kind of hard because
I'm on a budget I don't have a
lot like a ton of money to
expend stuff.
>> And for consumers who think
bringing lunch will solve this
problem. Well, you're in for a
surprise groceries cost 8.6%
more than a year ago, including
record-breaking prices for
lunch, meat shoppers sounding
off on social media saying
maybe I just wasn't used to
buying a lot of groceries but
this was a $100 are you making
any edge other adjustments in
your life so you can still grab
a Taco and got lunch.
Yeah, generally just buying
less of starting a lot more
toast which sounds really sad
all my friends make fun of me
because you tell us for lunch
or toast for dinner, some
employers are trying to soften
the blow by subsidizing lunches
while some restaurants are
offering special lunch deals to
safe where you can experts say
it's still cheaper to bring
your own lunch and opt for
generic brands, avoid expensive
add-ons you savings apps and
coupon sites and track your
spending to find other places
to safe. So your desk lunch
doesn't eat too much into your
budget.
Now adding to the sticker shock
wages are lagging behind this
rapid inflation, making that
lunch, you're buying it work
even more expensive but the
good news is you could see
prices come down in the next 6
to 12 months, the Federal
Reserve of course planning to
continue raising those interest
rates as it tries to get this
high inflation under control

series in honor of women's
History month we had the
celebration of powerful women
through inspiring conversations
with their granddaughters this
morning, nbc's blayne Alexander
is introducing us to a 16
year-old keeping her
grandmother's so alive through
music a blank good morning.
>> Guys good morning to you it
was such a joy to catch up with
grace, Franklin and especially
to do so in Detroit where so
much of this history began.
You know, we learned a lot of
things about the Queen of soul
that you probably don't know.
And we also learned that the
genes are very strong in that
family.
>> She is the undisputed Queen
of soul.
But a 16 year-old grace
Franklin.
>> What did you call her I just
called her Grandma, he called a
Grandma.
>> For grace, born and raised
in Detroit weekly visits with
Grandma were a staple growing
up.
>> Just like watching TV
sometimes lot of times you
watch family feud.
>> Family feuds a good show.
Ya what you play long. Yes.
>> And you may not be surprised
to learn the Queen of soul was
also the Queen of soul food.
>> What was your favorite dish
probably her macaroni her
background he was so good she's
trying to teach you can show
you a little bit but.
>> Who is in very good cooking
skills inside grace got a lot
from her Grandma persons of
style love of family, but
perhaps most notably too.
>> To a sold for singing.
>> Her favorite stage is right
here at new Bethel Baptist
Church in Detroit that they
replace where Aretha Franklin
famously got her start.
>> She was about your age when
people really started taking
notice of her is an almost
surreal to you to be singing in
the same place where she wants.
>> It's crazy to think that a
lot of the same people that
were with her when she was
younger in the same church are
watching me now.
>> We do have a favorite song
of your grandmother's overall
don't play that song is
definitely one of my favorites
that we succeed together.
>> I love how she throws her
boys and it it's so amazing
when you listen to her music
but she inspire you
the way that she can change any
song to maker her own she
learned a lot from her yet just
by watching her.
>> Grace recently took those
lessons to American idol
singing one of her grand mosque
last stop shot of maybe 2 shot.
>> Not enough to get her to the
next round but a chance to take
yet another note from the Queen
herself.
>> When you get up and when you
sing here where your
grandmother got her start.
Do you feel her presence with
you I feel her presence with me
any time I perform I would
think of how she used to.
>> Prepare in her dressing room
and just her words of courage,
and whenever me and my siblings
every fight so always remember
that God is with you on stage
and that whatever happens you
know, they are great.
>> But the lessons grace holds
most dear came off the stage
like standing up for what you
believe it.
>> Was very involved in civil
rights movement. She was very
involved, especially when black
lives matter came up again in
2014.
>> And to live and love.
>> Fiercely is very
compassionate and I don't feel
like a lot of people got to see
that side of her they often
just cared a lot about the
people around her and her love
which is very strong.
>> Guys it was just so much fun
to meet her to learn those
things about her grandmother
who knew that she loved
watching family feud and I love
tearing grace saying the words
to a no way was just so
beautiful now it's not just
grace and her family she
actually has an older sister
who is currently a music major
at Howard University and grace
is performing with the Detroit
youth choir, they're set to hit
Carnegie Hall later this summer
guy.
>> I'm gorgeous point credible
plan you've got to tell grace
that she is an open invitation
is Carson by the way to come on
to the voice, yeah, I have a
feeling that she had. Well
there we would love you, I love
to hear that I will tell you.
Thanks bye.
>> Words are this weekend and
we have our own wizard of Oz
here to break down the nominee
is which is funny because I
just interviewed, Judy
Garland's granddaughter.
>> That's just work out anyway.
NBC News national political
correspondent Steve. Here's
some highs. Good morning.
>> A lot of movies that I feel
like people are able to stream
Steve.
at home this time around so
people might actually know a
lot of the movies in the
running this year can you kind
of break down what we can
expect this week it's gotten a
little different right the rise
of streaming last year's
obviously people stayed away
from movie theaters because of
the pandemic so.
>> It's been a little different
with the Astors last year's
this will be the 94th Academy
Awards this weekend, the first
was back in 1929 the host that
you're by the way Douglas
Fairbanks, senior also you
govern at the first Academy
Award to 3 hosts this year it's
going to be one to Sikes Regina
Hall Amy show remember by the
way the last few years they
haven't had enough is going to
be an official host or 3 of
them, I think it since 2018
with Jimmy Kimmel some other
numbers for you here, the most
nominations for a movie,
it's the power of the dog 12
nominations for that movie a
lot of expectations. There
Steven Spielberg you talk about
shifty in the last segment
always towering over March
Madness it Steven Spielberg.
>> He got to get it got to get
in.
>> Look at this 6 consecutive
decade with West Side Story is
nomination for best director
best picture 6th consecutive
decades, 6 field work has been
may go away back to close
encounters of the 3rd kind,
here's another one writer Ken
is bran off. He's making a
little bit of history. This is
now been nominated Belfast for
best original screenplay here
this is the 7th different
category last in his career
that he has received an Oscar
nomination for so ally actor
director adapted screenplay now
best original screenplay for
Kenneth Branagh so he's kind of
made some history of his own
your see if he can use a guest
on our show not too long ago.
We're talking now best actor
director picture, what do you
think let's take a look at what
the odds say here we show that
we show you these with a
basketball tournament will show
you the here here's all the
nominees for best picture
remember they expanded it last
few years, but there is a clear
favorite as I said its power,
the dog, 3 to 5 favorite I walk
away. Yeah, I think to Idaho to
is the live second choice here
3 to 2 odds here. Cota it's a
movie it's got I think a lot of
kind of late the tension in
this Oscar season, those odds
of getting shorter we just
mentioned brand 9 Belfast,
14 to one you've got some
longer shots there you see West
Side Story 33 to one, but that
power the Dakota, I think
interesting race to watch
there. If you took a look at
best actress here Jessica
chest. Contest. Well.
>> How about Nicole hahaha all
stroll 72 died.
>> Now, here's the interesting
one to me the biggest single
favorite you're going to get in
all the asteroids it's will
Smith King Richard alley in the
Williams sisters father,
one to 10 knots, I will just
say this was the category last
year with the biggest upset
that's true. This is where
Anthony Hopkins remember this
walked away with best actor
last even he didn't expect it
so you see will Smith is one to
10 keep in mind. Here pretty
awesome yeah could be some
other put this is what's mis
best performance of his career
against and yes, even given the
Dali I think the odds of it
happening twice in a row,
infinitesimally small, but I
just first happenings there's a
lot of first happenings couple
other things here to you know
sort of historically here.
This was a not where we were
supposed to go here we go.
Well, here's the question here
for you guys I was the first
word ask you this there are
some historic we say the first
deaf actor nominated for covid
marlee matlin is also in the
movie was the first deaf
actress to win an Oscar.
Now we have the first deaf
actor nominee, Troy kotsur for
that but here's a trivia
question for you guys I we're
supposed to get the other one
of the other I'm sorry the
trivia question for you here.
We mentioned 3 women hosting
the Oscars this year, here's
your question you can see who
was the first woman to host the
Oscars show low with the Ellen.
P was a you know what they will
be it was the answer, Whoopi
Goldberg, she did it for time.
94, 96 99,000 changing her
Costa, I mean she had really
magnificent costumes throughout
her time.

>> Over the years I have been
lucky enough to step into the
today show kitchen and watch
the best chefs from around the
world, teach us some incredible
recipes we have made that pesto
which with all the time I got
this one. None of which I
mastered because well actually
don't know the first thing

those days behind me for good
today, Dr. Now super chef
Ferguson is going to teach me

important meal of the day

>> This is trying to make you
laugh.
I really know how to sign a I
mean I tried it before I don't
I don't know just I don't have
to flip it over could we just
learned that basic thing for.
>> It's so such a lot of
football over. Let's start with
sunny side up okay, which is my
favorite style of all right,
it's the least Cook as the sun
set up. Then you have over easy
you have over medium with every
keeps getting could more we
have a right here. A little
one-on-one for cracking eggs
never cracked on the court.
OK Greg on the corner home.
Yeah, you're not you're not
going to look a little quick on
a flat surface for the moment
then see that with her to try
to get just let me try it it is
the only way to learn who are
strong so yeah there you go,
okay, yeah, round 2 is their
practice makes you think okay,
so when lightly does let that
just fall right into the pain
when I see you just did you
class was that on purpose.
I have a choice to be able to
control this okay who it was
and I'm just here the bi-state
okay just driving it were and
are you feeling a little
stressed like it's going to
burn. No number it's very low
temperatures, okay there low,
so you don't have to worry
about that in the should stick
because non-stick pan, yours
looks like something that is
not true like any how perfect
that I mean it really does a
good looks fake it does like
yours and my role does have
that you are you see that's the
confidence you need to know
your good for my good for my
confidence so we're going to
get a little bit above okay.
And then once the notes down
we're going to take our spoon
and we're going to put the
butter over the white okay that
will help keep that school to
take a hot liquid. Yes, you're
putting over over or
undercooked eggs but not on the
just on the way it's just
normal X and show this perfect

about a 32nd how do you know
it's almost time it will be for
okay, so now it's sunny side up
you've done this in easy just
like a pro I put on our plates
wow glad that those play okay,
making it one of the easiest
things but I will tell you this
if you ever want to know how
great a chef is yes, he'll make
it really why it's time there's
a lot of skill and how do you
get off the pan so it just
won't fall right off the allied
the slider I don't know if you
have a little Lakey seesaw
okay, yes, this incredible by
the way you did it saying well
look at the okay the little
black pepper if you like it.
>> How do you know, though I
guess I'm still obsessed with
this like the yolk how do I
know if it's like.
>> Runny or thick enough to go
because the easy part one it
run right this is the whites,
okay what Cook OK. So the
whites of Cook ucas bringing
that sunny side up
and that S toast just 2 shots
making a serious.
What's right out to everybody

course I like to mop it up with
the toasts yes.
As Alicia spoke about are now I
think we're ready to graduate

toast to those sunny side up
eggs. We made we always have a
cocktail on the show love I
think saying today. His seat.

NBA for a little bit as you can
doing or get your confidence
that the first thing one does

everything laid offers and then
we want to make sharnai schools

are about your hands being out
like that I know.
>> Actually when I took piano
lessons when I was 6 Barrett's

Now with a K I know this from
scrambling the eye as you do
with the force doesn't matter
no okay with his look the more
parents who are so often
pepper. Okay, yes, always I'm
okay.
Like this much solvers that you
must not as great, but what
about remember you can always
add more later, okay, I know,
I I tend to undersell but now
I've been told why so many of
you chefs to put myself that I
might be over salting has that
good. Let's grade was very well
with that together
general but milk in it are now.
>> Scrambled the like, but the
fact they're like the milk and
there is such that it's a kid's
took her home yet so I have
excuse
6 holes full time.
>> So all my gosh that's what I
call my wife much Yousef is
always good for juniors.
>> Haha that's amazing well.
>> Okay for will put a little
butter here where the foam up a
little bit.
>> This is my big question
about money when to put the
toppings and.
>> So there's no right answer
to that put him before like
we're going today, yeah, and
let them cook a little bit.
The new but the wait a minute
you with the vegetables and
before the. It's yes that is
one way of doing it's okay,
wow they're blowing my mind
let's go ahead, but whatever
vegetables to meet you want to
put okay so this would be when
I put the spinach and yes,
which I don't usually like
sponges but I want to learn so
I know it's often up a little
bit of these are big old leaves
side shops, those small know
they're going to come down a
couple peppers.
>> So we have this going and
remember all these need to
cured meats so they're already
cooked enough okay. No word
about cooking.
>> We sat there for like
heating about exactly okay,
let's go ahead and poor aig's
okay. So this is enough that's
enough I have to wait for these
to be bringing all right thing
okay there you go.
I can say.
>> So now go ahead and spread
we're a little because we want
to get everything evenly in
court. There you go in the now
we're going to let it sit her
to get over there. I want to
just look like you just
now anyone under my age a
little bit allowing the running
this to run off and go
underneath.
>> You don't I don't have any
right to have a little bit
well, and they're just make a
whole part help each other and
have it go and then I was okay,
but I want that ice so like any
of this little extra bit of
snow is looking to leave it
like this for one 2nd did you
feel like a spatula like this
is the good implement what you
see is a reverse pass the
rubber spatula okay.
>> Would you rather just put it
happens right here and pulled
over and you want to flip it on
for years.
>> I think I need to learn to
fly. One assist the foot of a
system a system that have
especially under little yet
only use that to help me put my
own the whole thing oh yeah oh
my gosh, no way can I do this,
you know, and it's hard yeah
and everything's hard pressed
to go for the top with what I
was going to leave it that way
on the left hand, okay, yeah,
these different okay, yeah,
we're specialist and are alike
and I'm Alexis tent, but the
flip over scare
haha okay was I know it's going
to fail he want I want to ruin
it.
Go back he does get the rest
over OK, but that wasn't good
like good business post no I
didn't you know your perfect
but is it a look at a poll that
now every toe your phone over
again is okay okay, so the now
you all agree or she's okay to
have the best that we yeah haha
so put it on the for this point
the ground. Oh that's
interesting wise that you want
to flip it over you on the Heat
to sit right on top and which
is a sausage has offered to us.
Pam is my going for it there
you can get all of us it was
all innocent.
We did a good job with bank I
know now I want it, but it
wasn't supposed to be like half
of this or was it supposed to
really be covering some
locations home cooking you know
that you're in the restaurant
owner that this is what you're
about to eat at home. So that
is perfect for at home, but I
want to get in a car now I want
to. They want to put my words
with things like another folder
this like that that this photo.
The system the system that
they're now now now it's
getting kind of Brown is that 2
Brown no you're fine. I mean
look
no you know it is and now this
these guys are falling out.
Well, technically you're going
to OK so you've got to keep
your eyes on the prize that
think they're getting too warm.
Come on, don't know you know
this is a fail you don't have
to be nice about it can I just
think that yes okay all right
that we put on our plates
that's it. Yeah I would flip it
again, I feel like it needs
another live look at what I see
there you go. Yeah. I liked it
a lot this is the status on let
you know it we all know what
let's compare.
so all that bad though it
doesn't say what could be a
hard act. This is just one part
of breath last we still have to
do the candy bacon and the
powerful pain. Okay, it's also
get get these on the table
right.
think I was going to say you
see if I may be can I just put
it in the microwave can we
still be friends. We could be
friends because of your cooking
the means and the candied bacon
seems intimidating. Yes, super
cells are restaurants are the
home of the candy be okay, this
is our specialty you can not
even come in as a regular big,
we don't offer it either we do
it so over the fact that they
open it for you to get us one
against have a cup of brown
sugar cane for tonight.
Like just pack it a little
packet down
a layer of bacon had
sideways
so there could have been home
the reason why the mic with
isn't the best method. Yeah
because its troubles down the
bacon well that's true, you
know where as you cook it on
the sheet tray reconvene oven
it keeps the bacon the same
with that the big now you have
this like wire rack and foil
what's is that necessary it's
really necessary but can okay
okay so we have the wire act
that way the bacon isn't going
so fast you get into cooking,
they're now I got in the
cooking by watching her on TV.
>> He was my inspiration, he
was very unique
and if I wasn't going to cell
phones will be a Navy seals we
had a really good uniform or.
>> I want to wear uniforms have
a chef's you know we have some
cold since everyone has where
all the pictures of what I
don't know if I deserve it
first thing we're going to do
is we're going to freshly
cracked but brought out how
much how much property you
like. Well, I like a little
over a little bit on news.
That's the thing about cooking
it's about the person up the
rest want to go right down one
piece for see your revenues
were everywhere.
>> I know it's like why did you
know now I station watched you
for Susan smart classy getting
a lot on. Well I want to take
>> But that also is looking to
yeah and they want to sprinkle
brown sugar on top each.
He's so as
what is it that you would like
to add.
So you want to grab these to
take 2 of them in the door or
doing other we're not trying.
Yeah, always the hometown of
know 400 degrees. Yes, but your
bacon on a rack just for the
time. We'll have to worry about
it anymore will come out
perfectly in a won't lose all
of this side. Well, the head of
an a 445. That's got the matter
which wrapped no continue both
okay now we have the boiler on
then that matters with threat
as we have it on bake. It will
matter.
>> You are almost there with
candy bacon that wasn't that
hard know that was easy yeah.
you know worked on this for
years to come. But this is the
journal Ferguson, perfect
pancake, yes, that's right
here. So we're going to start
with the batter for side by
this quick yeah haha yes, the
bye bye. Okay so.
>> We're going to do first is
our witness going to start with
our version will my version.
>> 2 cats.
Now why not just use old
buttermilk like why are we
using our own.
>> Okay so this is what
happened in the restaurant,
but so expensive compared to
regular milk that I could not
feasibly charge what I had seen
for how much but it is
possible. So I figured out how
to make the same exact thing.
>> Happen so milk plus of this,
it looks like a quarter cup of
that still didn't know and I
just during this, I know it's
it's okay said the curtain a
