How do you readjust?
Like, so if you get up at 3:00 in the morning.
This is your second year hosting?
Yeah.
How do you do that?
Well, it is weird, I have to say,
because the schedule's insane.
I feel the most sorry for Joel.
Because at 5:00 I'm like, it's dinner time, babe.
We've got to go dinner.
And the kids go night night.
I'm in bed by 7:30 on like, a regular day.
So you end up gravitating to people who are weird like you.
Like, you end up hanging out with or calling--
You don't like me.
When you say that--
you meant the universal you.
So when my phone rings at 3:30, it's
either Roker, Savannah, somebody at work.
It's totally normal.
They're like, hey, don't forget we have this such and such.
And sometimes Joel will get up early just
to have a quick cup of coffee with me before I leave.
And he'll be like, your phone is ringing.
Like, who are you talking to?
But we have our little weird posse.
Wow.
By the way, I eat at 5:00 and I don't get up at 3:00 AM.
You eat at 5?
Well, almost.
Sometimes 5:00.
I mean, we eat really early.
Everyone makes fun of us.
But I like to--
and it's also healthier for you to eat early.
Not for you, because you go to bed right away.
But it's better to eat early if you-- you know what I mean?
And go to bed later.
But you eat at 5:00, and then go to bed.
So it's the same thing.
Were you holding a baby here the other day?
Were you holding a little baby?
I hold babies often.
When you were holding that baby and you said, I want one?
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Were you kidding?
Oh, yeah, I was kidding.
OK.
Yeah.
I wasn't sure.
I saw the clip.
I was totally kidding.
It's for TV.
I want a baby.
You know, like-- yeah.
No.
I love babies.
I really do.
I love holding them.
I love babies.
And then I love to give them back.
You know.
I just can't even imagine.
It is the hardest thing in the world if you take it seriously
and you want to be a parent and raise
a human being in this world and help guide them.
I just give credit to any parent out there.
I can't do it.
But I do love babies.
And then I love them when they're young.
And then there's a chunk when I don't.
And then I love them again.
There'll be a chunk where you don't love yours, too.
You know there's going to be a chunk that they're--
you're like, I raised you.
I did this.
And you treat me like that?
So how's Savannah doing?
She is accident prone.
I mean, yeah.
She is.
Her eye is better.
Does everybody know what happened to Savannah's eye?
Explain,
She was playing with her son.
And he had one of those toy trains.
And he threw it, and it literally tore her retina.
She had to have surgery to repair it.
She did a whole bunch of laser stuff first,
then she went into the real surgery, then she had to like,
you know those massage chairs where your face is in a donut?
And she had to stay like that for, I think, a week straight.
Because you can't disturb your eye as it heals.
And even today her vision isn't totally cool.
It's like, it's still-- she said it
looks like words are on a wave.
I mean, and that was from one random moment with her son.
From having a child.
Oh, it's OK, honey.
Ahh.
You're so funny.
But there's that.
And then didn't she-- she trips constantly?
She trips.
Yeah.
Yeah, she did.
She seems to tumble a lot.
Yeah.
I'm not sure what's going on.
I don't know either.
But-- hey, I got something.
I don't know if you're having a bachelorette party.
But if you are, you know, you play all these fun games
at bachelorette parties where you pin the tail on the donkey
and things like that?
OK.
I got something for you for the bachelorette party.
All right.
You like Blake Shelton.
That's about perfect.
That is about perfect.
All right.
That's for you.
Oh my word.
I'm literally taking it.
Yup.
OK.
Thank you.
All right.
Sorry, Joel.
You can watch Hoda on the "Today Show" weekday mornings
starting at 7:00 on NBC.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
