>>> WELCOME BACK. THIS MORNING WE’RE LAUNCHING OUR
START TODAY SERIES.
>> THE FIRST THING WE’RE
TACKLING, JUST GETTING IT DONE.
WE ALL KNOW THAT’S NOT ALWAYS
POSSIBLE.
POSSIBLE. >> IT CAN BE ANYWHERETHING FROM
GETTING HEALTHY TO FINDING
HAPPINESS.
HAPPINESS. >> WE THOUGHT WE’D SHED A LITTLE
LIGHT ON OUR EVERYDAY LIVES AND
SHARE THE REALITY OF TRYING TO
GET IT DONE EACH DAY.
>> GO DOWNSTAIRS AND MAKE
BREAKFAST.
BREAKFAST. I’M AT MY BEST WITH A ROUTINE.
AS A THANK YOU, SINCE SAVANNAH’S
THE ONE WHO KIND OF GOT ME INTO
KETO, I USUALLY BRING HER AN EGG
MUFFIN, ONE FOR MYSELF, TWO FOR
NICK.
NICK. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, MY MOM WOULD
MAKE BREAKFAST FOR ALL OF US.
I THINK IT’S A NICE START TO THE
DAY.
DAY. I HAVE TO DO THIS SO THAT I
DON’T TURN BACK INTO A BLIMP.
I KEEP MY OLD I.D. PICTURE ON ME
ON MY I.D.
I COULD HAVE CHANGED IT OVER,
BUT I KEEP THIS AS A REMINDER OF
WHAT I WAS AND THAT I’M NOT
GOING BACK TO THAT.
>> RIGHT NOW WE ARE REVIEWING
THE LIVE SEGMENTS FOR THE 7:00
AND 8:00 HOUR.
THIS IS PART OF THE MORNING
RITUAL.
RITUAL. I GUESS THEY CALL IT JOURNALING.
I LIKE TO PUT MY THOUGHTS DOWN
ON PAPER, AND I ALWAYS END WITH
SOMETHING THAT I AM GRATEFUL
FOR.
FOR. THE LAST PART IS A HODA KOTB
IDEA.
IDEA. I GO ACROSS THE STREET TO 1A FOR
THE SHOW, THE FIRST SHOW.
THE 7:00 A.M. "TODAY" SHOW, NOT
TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE 8:00 OR
THE 9:00 OR MSNBC.
NOW I’LL PUT ON MY MSNBC HAT,
AND NOW I’LL USUALLY SQUEEZE IN
A CAT NAP ON THE RIDE BACK TO
CONNECTICUT.
CONNECTICUT. IN MY HOUSE, YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE
YOUR A GAME.
WHEN I GET HOME, DADDY, IT’S
LIKE MY SECOND JOB.
THIS IS FINE, I ENJOY THIS, BUT
THAT.
THAT. >> THANK YOU, GUYS.
HI, EVERYBODY.
HI, EVERYBODY. OKAY.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. HERE’S THE ONE THING I WILL SAY.
I DON’T HAVE ANY DAYS THAT ARE
THE SAME, SO THE GOOD THING IS I
WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE KIDS TO
SCHOOL.
SCHOOL. MY SON HAD A PARENT BREAKFAST,
SO I SAT DOWN ON THE FLOOR WITH
HIM.
HIM. HE SHOWED ME HIS SCHOOL
PROJECTS.
PROJECTS. GOT UP, TOOK THE TRAIN, JUST
FINISHED THE SHOW AND NOW I’M
HERE.
HERE. SO AFTER TODAY, AFTER THE SHOW.
>> HI, GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?
EVERYTHING GOOD?
EVERYTHING GOOD? >> YEAH, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A
DAY IN THE LIFE OF A "TODAY"
SHOW, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
>> THERE’S SO MUCH STUFF.
>> I WENT TO A PARENT BREAKFAST
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. HAD A CROISSANT.
>> I MEAN YOUR REAL LIFE STUFF.
THIS IS WORK.
>> THAT’S THE REAL THING, IT’S
LIKE THAT AND THEN NOW THIS.
>> THEY DON’T KNOW THAT WE’RE
REALLY JUGGLING?
REALLY JUGGLING? >> I’VE BEEN ON THE TRAIN THREE
TIMES ALREADY.
TIMES ALREADY. >> BYE, GUYS.
CHEERS HAPPY NEW YEAR.
NEW YEAR, NEW ME, NEW YEAR, NEW
ME.
ME. SO AFTER I LEAVE HERE IN THIS
PART OF MY LIFE, I HAVE DECIDED
NEW YEAR, NEW ME.
I’M GOING TO EXERCISE.
SO I’M TAKING A FITNESS CLASS
WITH THE MILLENNIALS OF THE
"TODAY" SHOW WHERE I HEAR THEY
HAVE A LIVE DJ.
>> HI MILLENNIALS.
♪
♪ >> HEY.
>> HEY. COME ON IN.
>> I GOT UP AT 4:15.
I WAS INTO WORK BY 5:00.
DID THE SHOW.
TONIGHT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
BECAUSE THERE’S A BIG STORM IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY SO I
HAVE TO GO BACK IN TO DO A
FORECAST FOR "NIGHTLY."
I LOVE MY SCHEDULE BECAUSE THE
CRAZINESS OF WORK USUALLY
HAPPENS IN THE MORNING, BUT THEN
I GET A LOT OF TIME WITH CALVIN
DURING THE DAY.
TONIGHT I’M JUST REWORKING
LEFTOVERS INTO SOME SORT OF
SHEPHERD’S PIE BECAUSE I HAVE
LEFTOVER MEAT AND I HATE TO
THROW IT OUT.
>> THIS IS OUR EVENING.
IT’S LIKE FULL-ON QUALITY TIME.
COMING IN?
COMING IN? TA DA.
TA DA. I SHOULD PROBABLY GET ON THE
TRAIN AND GET TO "NIGHTLY" BUT I
DON’T WANT TO MISS DINNER TIME
WITH CALVIN, SO I’LL HAVE A
BITE, OKAY?
BITE, OKAY? TRY IT.
TRY IT. IT’S REALLY YUMMY.
YOU WANT TO TRY IT?
>> NO.
>> NO. AFTER ALL OF THAT, I EAT ALONE.
>> YES, PLENTY OF TIME.
MY NIGHTLY NEWS HIT IS DONE.
I AM BACK INTO COMMUTER MODE.
SAY BYE BYE.
>> BYE BYE SHADOW.
>> I ENJOYED THAT.
>> IT’S FUN TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL
DO BECAUSE I ALWAYS THINK, MAN,
AYE BEEN ON MY FEET ALL DAY.
IT’S REASSURING TO KNOW YOU GUYS
HAVE BEEN TOO, YOU’RE GETTING IT
DONE.
DONE. >> LOOK, TO ME I FOUND ORDER IS
THE BEST RECIPE FOR THIS, BUT,
OKAY, EVERYBODY AT HOME PROBABLY
HAS THE SAME ISSUE.
THE ONLY DINKSFFERENCE IS THEY’R
NOT ON TV.
THEY’RE JUGGLING JUST AS HARD AS
EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY. >> BY THE TIME IT’S OVER YOU
HAVE TO PUMP YOURSELF BACK UP
AGAIN TO GET EVERYDAY THINGS
DONE LIKE COOKING.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU KEEPING IT
CLEAN IN 2019.
