It is time now for the Great Day Morning
Mix and 19 year old American player Coco
Goff is headed to the US Open Women's Final.
She defeated defeated Carolina
Mukova of the Czech Republic in
order to get to this point,
but environmental activists
actually interrupted the match for
50 minutes yesterday.
The protest prompted confusion among fans,
the players and the game commentators.
the US Open Women's final
is set for tomorrow.
We want to congratulate Coco because
she's the youngest American male or female
to reach the US Open semi finals since
Serena Williams did it at 17 in 1999,
and that was the first of her
23 major single titles.
What
a night for America and I love
seeing bright young women doing
amazing things and putting their
name out there in the spotlight.
It's exciting. She said in an interview
that her only regret is that she
wouldn't be able to play Serena.
That would be quite a match.
Would that have been awesome to see?
It's the US Open also has has had a
few of these interruptions from the
protesters and unfortunately, you know,
they have to be asked about it.
The players do. So Coco golf's like,
I believe climate change is real,
and I don't really know what
these people were protesting.
Would I rather it not happen during my match?
Sure, but it was a little
bit of a crazy scene.
But she still pulled out the
win. She pulled out the win.
All right last late night host
Jimmy Fallon is apologizing this
morning to his staff over allegations
of a toxic work environment.
Allegations were first published
yesterday in a story by Rolling Stone.
The magazine cited 16 unnamed current and
former employees who described a difficult
work environment on The Tonight Show.
One person had said it was
detrimental to their mental health.
The magazine said Fallon has since
apologized to staff during a zoom call,
saying he wants the show to be fun and
it should be inclusive to everyone.
Man, I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Fallon
and you know these are allegations.
Who knows if they're true?
I don't want them to be true.
I think we don't want them to be true.
Yeah, that's this,
you know, for somebody that's supposed to
be bringing so much joy and celebration.
But he came out and just, you know,
the didn't really deny it because
it's still kind of going.
But just like, sorry if I made you feel
that way. You know, I think,
I think that's the best thing.
You know, if if someone is
alleging something, you know,
until the details are worked out,
the best thing to do really
just own up and apologize.
Because whether it's true or not,
someone's saying you made me feel this way.
Yeah. And learn about it.
So we'll see as that continues
to to develop. All right.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now
hold a place in Hollywood history.
Gosh just takes me back.
The turtles put their prints in
concrete in front of the TCL Chinese
Theater yesterday, as you can see.
In the shape of a pizza. Yeah.
You remember that from the.
From the shows.
The popular characters are actually
turning 40 next year after getting
their start as comic book heroes,
then TV stars, then movie stars,
then Broadway stars.
I mean, they have just done everything.
So they got their prints immortalized and
their slice of pizza and then the Founder,
you know, they aren't.
They honor the creator,
Kevin Eastman,
who created the comic books,
which led to this whole
Teenage Mutant universe.
Kristen, I'm feeling old cuz I used
to watch the cartoon after school.
It was like one of my favorite, only 40.
So then where does that leave us?
I love them. I'm going to have to
go back to Lai Love. Go and see.
Going to see this Hand prints
and turtle prints. Right.
I'm going to have to go back for that. And
they're just, they're a good company.
They're next to Keanu Reeves,
The Avengers, end game cast and Godzilla.
Wow. So really cool Spot.
Really cool. Yeah.
Well, a new study says married
people are among the happiest people
in the US The study looked at a
number of factors like education,
income and, of course, marital status,
and found that marriage was
the biggest key to happiness.
The study also noted that there's a
recent decline in the level of happiness
and attributed some of that decline
to fewer people getting married.
It's really interesting.
You know, the study did say that it
perhaps is not necessarily people
are happy because they're married,
but that happy people are more
likely to get to get married.
That makes sense. Makes sense,
you know, Hey, I'm not disagreeing.
I think it's very funny.
I'm happily married.
You're happily married.
I wanted to ask you, Kristen,
what do you what kind of qualities
do you think make a happy marriage?
I mean, for
us it's it's a lot of like spending time
together and doing things we love together,
but also knowing when we need a time away,
right? And just kind of a lot
of laughter and trust laughter.
I agree with that. All right.
Finally, check out this adorable video
from the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.
This little cutie knows how to beat the heat.
The video shows this river
Otter playing with a sprinkler.
And of course, it's gone viral.
Why wouldn't it?
She actually was rescued by
the zoo back in May.
She looks happy.
Look at her having fun in there.
So cute. Otters are amongst
the most playful animals.
And you know what?
They're very intelligent too.
Yeah, actually, I hate the water.
Gosh, it makes me so happy.
Speaking of them being a little intelligent,
a hotel in England says an Otter
is racking up quite the bill.
The little guy has helped himself to dozens
of koi from the pond outside the hotel.
We're talking more than
$100,000 worth of fish.
The hotel is now working on a plan
to keep the Otter away from the pond.
I'm telling you, they're smart because
they had an electric fence, supposedly,
and this little guy was able to, like,
sneak past that kind of Tom Cruise,
Mission Impossible style.
Oh my goodness.
And quite.
Fish are expensive too, by the way,
so they either have expensive
taste or wealth.
They're just going where
with whatever's there.
Maybe they should have less expensive
fish in there.
I don't know.
We want more of the Otter eating the
water than the Otter eating the koi fish.
Yeah, like we want them having fun. OK.
There's been so many Otter stories lately.
I feel like, you know, like attacking
the surfers but then having fun.
It's, it's. That's.
