WELCOME
WELCOME BACK. AS WE CLOSE OUT THE FIRST SHOW OF THE NEW YEAR, I SPENT A
LITTLE TIME TALKING WITH MY
PRODUCERS JOSEPH, SOOZIE AND
DEREK ABOUT ENDING 20/20.
AND LOOKING AHEAD TO TWENTY
TWENTY ONE.
>> OK, SO IF I AM THE EMBLEM ON
THE HOOD OF THE CAR OR THE
ANTENNA OF THE CAR WE CALL
NEWDAY Y'ALL ARE THE ENGINE
THAT KEEPS IT RUNNING.
I COULD COME UP WITH A BETTER
ANALOGY BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT
POPPED IN HERE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE ONES JUST DIDN'T RIGHT.
BUT IT'S TRUE EVERYONE ON THIS
SCREEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
MAKING THIS SHOW RUN AND IT
HASN'T BEEN EASY DURING A
PANDEMIC AT ALL.
EVERYONE LEARNED NEW THINGS BUT
EVERYONE DID IT.
WHICH IS AMAZING.
SO MY QUESTION IS NOW THAT I'M
ON BOARD JOSEPH, WHAT'S NEXT?
>> WELL, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT'S
NOT JUST THE TV INDUSTRY.
EVERY INDUSTRY HAD TO GO
THROUGH CRAZY CHANGE IN 2020.
SO A LOT OF THOSE THINGS HAD TO
LEARN REALLY QUICKLY TO MAKE
THE SHOW STILL WORK AND CODED.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE DOING
IN THE COMING YEAR IN 2021.
SO THAT NO GUEST IN STUDIO.
STILL WE'RE STILL TAPING
EVERYTHING OVER ZUM WE ARE
RIGHT NOW BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT
WILL CHANGE AS KOVIK COMES
DOWN.
AND JUST YOU KNOW, FOR THE SHOW
MOVING FORWARD IN THE NEW YEAR
WE STILL GOT A REALLY SMALL
CREW WITH THE STATION.
IT'S USUALLY JUST ME AND AMITAY
AT THE STATION TAPING THE SHOW.
EVERYONE ELSE IS WORKING FROM
HOME.
SO IT'S PRETTY SMALL.
IT'S DIFFERENT.
AND WE ARE STILL GOING TO BE
TAPING THREE NEW SHOWS A WEEK
AND THOSE WILL BE AIRING ON
TUESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS AND
THURSDAYS.
SO YEAH.
>> WELL YOU SAID DIFFERENT SO
MANY THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT YOU
COULD DO A COOKING SEGMENT OVER
ZOOM AND YOU YOU ALL ARE THE
KINGS AND QUEENS OF THAT
ESPECIALLY AS SUSIE WHO HAD ME
DOING A COOKIE DECORATING
COOKIE SEGMENT OVER ZOOM WHICH
ACTUALLY TURNED BETTER THAN I
THOUGHT.
BUT NO, I HAVE A QUESTION CAN
YOU HAVE ME DO NOW MAKE YOUR
HARDIMAN'S GIVE UP PRIDE.
OH I WISH I HAD SOME FUN THINGS
IN STORE.
I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO MORE
CRAFTY.
SO I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THOSE
THINGS I'M THINKING ABOUT
HAVING YOU DO SOME CRAFTS.
I THINK MAYBE YOUR ITALIAN SIDE
NEEDS TO COME OUT A LITTLE BIT
CAUSE I HEAR YOU MAKE A
BOLOGNESE SO EASY FOR US TO
MAYBE HAVE YOU COOK WITH THOSE
KIDS.
>> EITHER WAY WAIT YOU MEAN
SHARE MY GRANDMA'S SECRET
RECIPE?
SHARE YOUR GRANDMA CIGARETS.
MAYBE WE CAN DO FIVE HOURS IT
TAKES BUT WE GO THROUGH THE
MAGIC OF TELEVISION AND THEN I
THINK ALSO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR BOOKS YOU LIKE TO
READ KIND OF WHAT PARANORMAL
ROMANCE SCI FI VAMPIRE THING.
SO REALLY FOR SOME AUTHORS THAT
YOU MIGHT REALLY LOVE.
SO THAT'S WHEN WE LEARN A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOU.
AND BRING THAT STUDIO TO LIFE
EVEN THOUGH WE CAN'T HAVE A
GUEST IN THE STUDIO RIGHT NOW.
SOUNDS FUN.
SO I'M ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT ALL THAT EVEN DISCUSSING
MY INTERESTING TASTE IN BOOKS.
>> BUT MAYBE JUST A LITTLE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
DEREK COST SWEET DEREK COST'S
YOU'RE ALWAYS SO GOOD TO ME.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT THROWING
A SURPRISES OUR WAY.
>> OH NO I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR WAS
SUCH A DIFFERENT TIME FOR
EVERYBODY.
AND I THINK YOU KNOW, TWENTY
TWENTY ONE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
TOO DIFFERENT AT LEAST NOT
RIGHT NOW.
SO I THINK WE SUCH A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO, YOU KNOW,
PROVIDE PEOPLE AND DISTRACT
WHEN THEY NEED A DISTRACTION.
AND THEN ALSO GIVEN THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED,
WHETHER IT'S ABOUT THE VACCINE
OR WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON IN THE
WORLD, I THINK WE HAVE SUCH A
GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REACH
PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT RIGHT
NOW AND YOU KNOW, I THINK WE
ALL KIND OF NEED A LITTLE
DISTRACTION SOMETIMES.
SO I I HOPE THAT WE CAN BE THAT
FOR PEOPLE.
>> I HOPE SO TOO.
I HOPE SO TOO.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO ALL THREE OF YOU AND THE
ENTIRE NEW DAY STAFF.
YEA LISTEN TO ME.
WHAT THEY DO EVERY DAY WHAT WE
DO EVERY DAY PUTTING THE SHOW
TOGETHER IT IS A MIRACLE.
Y'ALL ARE MIRACLE WORKERS.
THANK YOU.
>> WELL THAT IS SO TRUE.
THEY ARE THE BEST AND YOU'RE
THE BEST AS WELL BECAUSE I HAVE
TO TELL YOU I AM SO PROUD TO BE
LIVING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
RIGHT NOW.
>> I'LL TELL YOU WHY WE REALLY
TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.
THE FINAL TOTALS ARE IN AND YOU
DONATED TWENTY THREE POINT FIVE
MILLION MEALS THROUGH A HOME
TEAM HARVEST TO FEED THE HUNGRY
.
THAT IS NEARLY TRIPLE LAST
YEAR'S TOTAL AND COMES AT A
TIME WHEN MORE FAMILIES ARE
FACING EMPTY CUPBOARDS.
I'M ON.
MY GOODNESS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL
YOU'VE DONE.
I WILL GET EMOTIONAL BECAUSE
THERE ARE SO MANY FAMILIES WHO
ARE GOING TO FOOD BANKS FOR THE
VERY FIRST TIME RIGHT NOW.
MAYBE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
SO WHAT YOU DID WAS GREAT.
AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR BEING
WITH US ON NEW DAY.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
EVERY DAY WE WANT TO HEAR MORE
ABOUT YOU.
FIND US ON THE ANIMATED SOCIAL
WEBS.
LET US KNOW WHAT YOUR NEWS
RESOLUTION IS.
AND THANK YOU FOR
