>>> WELCOME BACK.
TIME NOW FOR OVERHEARD ON THIRD.
SO STEVE KORNACKI HAS BECOME
SOMETHING OF A CELEBRITY DURING
THIS PAST WEEK AND LAST NIGHT
STEVE GOT A BIT OF A SURPRISE
VISIT FROM "TONIGHT SHOW" HOST
JIMMY FALLON WITH A THANK YOU
FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> HELLO, CAN I COME IN?
WHAT’S UP, DUDE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> WOW!
OH, MY.
>> ARE YOU STILL STANDING?
YOU’RE DOING ALL RIGHT.
>> I’M CHARGED, I’M FEELING
OKAY.
>> WHAT HAPPENS NOW TO YOU,
THOUGH?
>> THEY PUT ME BACK IN
PRESERVATION FOR ABOUT THREE AND
A HALF YEARS.
>> HEY, STEVE!
>> HEY, GUYS.
>> SPEAKING OF SURPRISES, STEVE
KORNACKI JOINS US NOW.
HERE’S THE THING, STEVE, AS
SOMEONE WHO HAS SPENT TIME IN
THAT OFFICE, THAT’S ACTUALLY HOW
IT LOOKS EVEN WHEN THERE’S NO
ELECTION.
>> YEAH, NO, I DIDN’T HAVE TIME
TO CLEAN UP BUT THEN AGAIN I
GUESS I HAVEN’T HAD TIME FOR
FIVE YEARS BECAUSE THAT’S HOW IT
LOOKS.
>> WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR
MIND WHEN YOU FIRST SAW JIMMY
FALLON’S FACE?
DID IT CLICK LIKE WHAT’S
HAPPENING?
>> I HEARD THE COMMOTION SO MY
FIRST THOUGHT WAS MAYBE I SHOULD
CALL SECURITY.
I GUESS IT’S A DIDN’T THING I
DIDN’T.
THEN
THEN HE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR.
THEY TOLD ME THAT I’D GET A
VISITOR.
>> OKAY.
>> BUT I DIDN’T -- THAT’S NOT
THE VISITOR I EXPECTED, SO THAT
WAS A BIT OF A DOUBLE TAKE
MOMENT.
>> STEVE, I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU
WERE ACTUALLY IN YOUR OFFICE.
SHOULDN’T NBC GIVE YOU A BREAK
AND LET YOU JUST GO HOME FOR A
LITTLE BIT?
>> I LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK BUT
WE’VE STILL GOT VOTES BEING
COUNTED AND STATES BEING CALLED.
IT’S NOT OVER YET.
>> HERE’S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW --
>> WE’VE GOT TWO RUNOFF
ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA.
>> THAT’S TRUE.
BUT YOU’VE GOT LIKE CHRISSY
TEIGEN TWEETING ABOUT YOU.
THERE’S THIS ONE, OH, MY GOD, I
WAS CRYING LAUGHING WHERE THEY
WERE CALLING YOU A SNACK.
THEY WERE CALLING YOU -- WHAT
WAS IT, KORSNACKI.
IT’S JUST INSANE.
WHERE TO BUY YOUR KHAKIS.
HAVE YOU HAD TIME TO LET THIS
FAME SINK IN?
>> IT TRULY, TRULY BLINDSIDED ME
AND I JUST DIDN’T HAVE TIME.
ELECTION NIGHT THEY ASKED -- IT
WAS NONSTOP WITH THE ELECTION
WITH THE STATES SO I DIDN’T
REALLY EVEN SEE THIS WAS A THING
HAPPENING UNTIL, I THINK IT WAS
THURSDAY OR SOMETHING.
THEN SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY SENT
ME THIS LINK ABOUT THE PANTS.
I THOUGHT WHAT IN THE HECK IS
SOMEBODY WRITING ABOUT MY PANTS
FOR?
>> THAT’S SO FUNNY.
ENJOY, MY FRIEND.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> STEVE, STICK AROUND HERE FOR
A SECOND.
WE’RE JUST 16 DAYS AWAY FROM
THANKSGIVING.
I’M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
ALREADY STARTED THINKING ABOUT
WHAT’S GOING TO BE ON THEIR
THANKSGIVING TABLE.
THERE’S THIS CAREER WEBSITE
CALLED ZIPIA THAT LOOKED INTO
THE MOST POPULAR THANKSGIVING
SIDES IN EACH STATE USING GOOGLE
TRENDS.
YOU’VE GOT YOUR TRUSTEE BIG
BOARD THERE, MR. KORNACKI.
CAN YOU USE IT TO TAKE US
THROUGH SOME OF THE SIDES FROM
OUR HOME STATES?
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A
FUN BREAK FOR ME.
I’M SO USED TO DOING THIS
ELECTORAL MAP.
GUESS WHAT, HERE WE GO.
LET’S GO THROUGH A SPECIAL
"TODAY" SHOW EDITION.
SHEINELLE OF COURSE WITH HER
KANSAS ROOTS, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE
CREAMED CORN OUT THERE.
>> I BELIEVE IT.
>> DYLAN, NEW JERSEY, THE GARDEN
STATE, WHEN YOU THINK OF THE
GARDEN STATE, YOU THINK OF
STUFFING.
>> THAT’S MY FAVORITE.
>> CRAIG, I KNOW YOU’RE IN
CONNECTICUT RIGHT NOW, WHICH
MEANS YOU’RE IN THE HEART OF
MASHED POTATO COUNTRY, BUT YOUR
HEART IS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, HOME
OF MAC AND CHEESE AS A
THANKSGIVING SPECIALTY.
AND I BELIEVE AL IS A NEW YORKER
WHICH IS ALSO STUFFING COUNTRY.
SO A LOT OF STUFFING ON THE
BOARD HERE.
>> WHAT ABOUT YOU?
>> MASSACHUSETTS, MORE STUFFING.
A LOT OF STUFFING.
>> I BELIEVE THAT.
>> DON’T USE THAT MAP BY
ACCIDENT TODAY.
>> IT’S A NICE BREAK FOR
EVERYBODY, I THINK.
>> I LOVE IT.
STEVE, YOU HAVE DONE SUCH
PHENOMENAL WORK.
>> STEVE, CAN YOU GET US TO 270
USING THE THANKSGIVING MAP?
>> THIS IS AN ELECTION THAT
WOULD BE GOING TO THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, ALTHOUGH MASHED
POTATOES GETS CALIFORNIA.
THAT’S A LOT OF ELECTORAL VOTES.
>> I LOVE IT.
