-Welcome. -This is such a fun show, Seth.
I'm digging it.
-I am so happy to have you here because obviously
you have a very fast turnaround.
You have to be both on TV now when people are going to bed.
And then first thing in the morning,
they're going to see you as well.
-Exactly, I got a quick turnaround.
-And your morning got earlier.
You're now doing the first two hours,
or in other words 7:00 to 9:00. -Yeah.
-And then you have an hour off.
That's 7:00 to 9:00 with Savannah on the "Today" show
and then you're back at 10:00 with Kathie Lee.
-You got it.
-And did you ever consider
not doing the Kathie Lee part anymore
once you did the 7:00 to 9:00?
-I like -- I like that 10:00.
-I like the 10:00 too.
-You know what it is?
It's laughing and scratching and drinking.
It's like not -- It's not heavy lifting.
It's a fun little hour, yeah.
-You know, by the time we all get in,
the "Today" show that's on TV is the 10:00 "Today" show.
And I think we all look at it lovingly wondering
why we work at a comedy show
and we're having less fun than you guys.
[ Laughter ]
-By the way, we started pouring wine on that show,
and I promise you, I felt like the suits had no clue.
And one day, they just watched our show and said,
"How long has that been going on?"
I know, it was the best.
-How did it start?
Whose idea was it to start having wine?
-Okay, you know what happened?
Chelsea Handler came on and she had that book,
"Hello Vodka, It's Me Chelsea."
-I love -- By the way, I'm not surprised Chelsea enabled this.
-Okay, so she -- so we served her some drinks.
And then Brooke Shields showed up the next day
and she was like, "Where's mine?"
And we go, "Where's your what?"
She goes, "Where's my booze?"
And we're like, "Get her some booze,"
and then, all of the sudden, it just happened.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-And I think -- I thought you were --
I thought it was illegal to drink on the air.
I thought there was some FCC violation.
But apparently no. -Yeah.
And -- and -- [ Laughter ]
I -- Are you -- I feel like you guys should be, if you're not,
you should be beloved by the wine industry.
I hope you are.
-I think we are.
You know, Kathie Lee's got a line of wine.
-Yeah.
-And we do our -- our share of hocking it.
-Okay, good. [ Laughter ]
-You were in South Korea for the Olympics.
How was that?
-Can I tell you, it was an absolute ball.
-Yeah.
-We got to go to a ton of the events.
We were -- Do you guys remember when
the U.S. women's hockey team won in that, like, nail-biter?
-Shoot-out. Yeah. -It was crazy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It was -- We went to that game.
Roker and I were freaking out.
It was U.S. versus Canada.
It went down to the shoot-out.
It was one of my favorite moments I think at the Olympics.
-It was great, and then, someone --
A Canadian guy posted a wonderful video.
He was obviously aware that you guys were behind him.
And during the shoot-out,
he shot himself reacting to Canada losing
while you guys were celebrating behind him.
I thought he was a very good sport.
Let's take a look at this fine Canadian gentleman.
-USA! USA!
[ Laughter ]
-He was totally -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-But you --
You guys tracked him down and you had him on the show.
-Do you know what was funny?
One of our producers saw him on Insta and they said,
"We got to get this guy in."
And he came in at midnight Korea time and was on the air with us.
He was a great sport.
-That's fantastic. -He was a great sport, yeah.
-I would imagine, you know, I've been to -- I've never been to --
No, I guess I have been to a Winter --
I went to Vancouver and I went to London.
It is that spirit of everybody
just collectively being in a great mood.
Did you go to any of the -- I heard you went to half pipe.
Is that --
-I went to see Shaun White after he nailed it.
He was unbelievable.
And Chloe Kim, those two.
Watching those guys just fly through the air, it's just --
It's like, if you could do one thing in your life
and feel that free.
-Yeah. -Yeah. It was the best.
Watching Shaun win was something.
-I cry all the time watching the Olympics.
Do you -- When you're actually there working,
do you find yourself as emotionally attached to it
as somebody like me who's sitting at home like a dummy?
Because you're not --
I have to hear all the NBC music and, like,
you guys are pulling my heart strings the whole time.
-Can I -- There is something about a kid
whose name you don't know before you walk in.
And you watch their parents who are standing right next to them.
They've driven them to the rink at 4:00 in the morning,
they've practiced forever,
and it comes down to, like, this one minute.
And you're watching this kid's life change,
like, in front of your eyes.
I am such a crybaby at the Olympics
because I feel everything.
-Yeah. My wife walked in on me watching the Olympics and crying
and just like said, "Wha-haa," and went to bed.
[ Laughter ]
She's like, "I can't do this again."
[ Laughter ]
But you have a 1-year-old.
And you were away for her for an Olympics,
which is no small amount of time.
And how was it? Was it hard? How did you communicate with her?
-We did -- we did a bunch of Facetime.
-Here is your beautiful daughter, by the way.
I want to show a picture while we're talking.
There she is. -That's Joel.
-That's Joel and your daughter.
So how did you talk to her?
-So, we did it on Facetime.
And I was hoping she wouldn't hit any milestones
while I was gone because that makes you feel kind of crummy.
But my mom was with her,
and my mom kept telling her to say mama.
Say mama.
So she videotaped Haley saying mama.
So, I was playing it and I was so excited.
And I got home and I was like, "Hey!"
Like, "It's me."
And she pointed to my phone and she was like, "Mama! "Mama!"
I'm like, "No, no!"
Oh, my God. The phone is mama.
That is horrifying.
-You look like my mama who lives in this phone.
[ Laughter ]
So you and your boyfriend Joel, you guys live together.
And, obviously, you are an adult
and that is a totally normal thing.
But is it true that you were nervous to tell your mom
that you were going to move in with your boyfriend?
-That's so weird. I know.
I'm 51 year-- 52 years old when I moved in with Joel,
which all sounds so crazy.
And I remember getting kind of a little pit in my stomach
to tell my mom.
I know it sounds nuts,
but don't you always feel like a kid around your mom?
-Yes.
-I'm like, "Mom, he's a great guy."
"We're going to move in together."
She was like, "Oh, and no marriage? Okay."
[ Laughter ]
"Okay. I guess that's good for you."
But I know.
A grown-- I was terrified.
But keep in mind. We moved in, in December.
And Haley came, you know, in February.
So everything changed in, like, an instant.
-Yeah, that is definitely --
He might've thought he was moving in with a nice lady,
and then, he was like,
"Whoa, this whole thing is a lot more than I thought."
-I think he kind of freaked out. [ Laughter ]
-Well, he can call his mom and tell her all about it.
