-Welcome back! I love you guys!
-We love you.
-The hardest working people in show business. Oh, my gosh.
-Come on. -You are.
-Been up since the "Today" show. Oh, please.
-You just had that hiatus.
-Exactly. I had all this time off.
But I enjoyed you when I had all that time off.
I watched you every morning.
-Thank you, Jimmy.
-You're also doing -- you're getting ready.
You're going to co-anchor the election coverage
for the midterm election.
-Election night. Two weeks from tomorrow, I think.
-That's a big deal.
-Yeah, me and Lester and then all the cast of characters
from NBC and all our correspondents working so hard.
So it's gonna be a big night.
-It's a big night.
You guys have been so busy with all the stuff.
You have your second best-selling book.
Congratulations, Savannah. -Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Come on. Best-selling author.
-Well, you know that we have a little bit of --
because you have "Dada" and "Mama."
-That's right.
-So now we're like two versus two.
But I'm just saying.
-What are you just saying?
-I just am saying, like, your book is way more popular.
But mine has more words.
-Yours definitely has more words.
I have mama, dada, quack.
And then I got writer's block. [ Laughter ]
Congrats on this though. This is taking off.
-Thank you.
-And we should point out that Savannah had
both of her children's books were number one and number two
on "The New York Times" best seller's list at the same time.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Oh, my gosh.
-But we only read "Mama" by Jimmy Fallon.
-True.
-I saw you guys the other day with Michelle Obama
and a whole crew of cool people.
What was that thing? What was it? International --
-Yeah, International Day of the Girl.
It was so fun.
We brought our girls,
which was really just cool to see them out there.
-It was great.
In addition to Michelle Obama, we had some great music.
We had Kelly Clarkson and Meghan Trainor, Jennifer Hudson.
-That's right.
-And, like, a sea of young girls.
And I got to tell you, the place was lit up.
-Yeah.
-Savannah's daughter Vale
and Kelly Clarkson's daughter River Rose...
-They fell in love. -...are inseparable.
They were trying to separate them.
And they were crying when it was over.
-Did they know each other?
-No. But we -- so, Kelly Clarkson
has a children's book.
There we are back -- And it's her daughter's name, River Rose.
And she's the star of the children's book.
So, Vale -- for her to meet River Rose
was like meeting Santa.
She was like -- Look at them. -Look at this.
-They were in love.
[ Audience aws ]
-I mean, come on. You can't get cuter than that.
-It was really sweet.
-Of course, everyone's probably asking you guys
about the big Halloween.
You guys do it up on the Halloween show.
It's next Wednesday.
On the "Today" show, you go nuts.
Have you picked your costumes out?
-Yeah. -Okay. We know our costumes.
'Cause we usually all dress in, kind of, a theme-y thing.
But the rule this year was
I'm not supposed to know what Savannah is.
I'm not supposed to know what Al is.
He's not supposed to know what we are.
We are all supposed to surprise each other on Halloween day.
-So we'll have that big moment where it's like,
"Oh, that's what you are."
-But for real, you really don't know?
-Well, Hoda told me. -In the makeup room.
[ Laughter ]
-And she blurted it out, and then she's like,
"Wait, are we not supposed to tell this year?"
-I know, but you forgot it.
-And I did forget for a long time,
but then I remembered. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-So she knows. -I love it.
-I love you guys' chemistry.
That's why it works so well.
What are the kids?
Can you tell me what the kids are being this Halloween?
-Oh, yeah.
-Haley is gonna be a bumblebee, which is --
[ Audience aws ]
Stop it. -I know.
-I'm so excited to take her out.
I mean, she's trying on her costume there.
[ Audience aws ]
-Come on!
-Checking herself out in the mirror.
-She likes it. -Stop it.
-That is so cute. -I went on Amazon.
It showed up at the house.
I'm so -- And we are all kind of decking out together.
We're all gonna do it.
Joel's doing it. I'm doing it. My mom's coming.
We're all dressing like bees.
-Oh, you're all gonna be bees.
-We're gonna be bees.
-But that's different than "Today" show.
-That's different, yeah. -Okay.
And your daughter is going as Little Red Riding Hood.
-Yes. -Come on.
-She's already wearing the costume.
-I know. Yeah, we ordered that. I was so excited.
But now she wants to do a combo
and be Little Red Wonder Woman Riding Hood.
[ Laughter ]
I'm like, "Okay." -It always happens, right?
The week up until Halloween, it just changes.
My daughters were butterflies.
And my wife worked on their costumes for the whole year.
Felt and glue and made these butterflies.
And the day before, they're like,
"Mommy, I don't want to be a butterfly."
And my wife's like, "Oh, you're gonna be a butterfly."
[ Laughter ]
There's no question. That's what you're gonna be.
She goes, "What do you want to be?"
She goes, "I want to be a dragonfly."
So my wife just added a tail. [ Laughter ]
Perfect. -Now, you are.
-It wasn't that different. Yeah, exactly. It was great.
