and what is winner? the "jeopardy" star whose smarts and style has everyone talking. >> what is a tootsie roll? >> that's right. >> now he's here live revealing the secret formula he says helped him game the game show. and good morning, america. the big question this thursday morning, did the las vegas killer act alone? >> well, the shooter's girlfriend marilou danley facing a lot of questions. the fbi grilling her for hours. she has insisted she knew nothing. >> and take a look at this incredible image capturing the moment air force one flew past the mandalay bay hotel after president trump's visit on wednesday. >> spent several hours on the ground and met with first responders who risked their lives and the wounded still recovering. our chief national correspondent tom llamas is in las vegas with all the latest, good morning,

tom. >> reporter: george, good morning. several major developments overnight, and we spoke by phone with that security guard, the hero security guard that police say was so brave. police believe he is the reason why the shooter stopped firing, because when the security guard approached the hotel room, the killer saw him through those cameras he had set up. all of this as of the ine investigators now believe the killer also had an escape plan. >> go now. >> reporter: this morning people running for their lives and ducking for cover during the las vegas massacre. 100 investigators now poring over videos just like this. >> everybody, go. >> reporter: and pursuing new leads. >> stay down. run this way. >> reporter: including the possibility shooter stephen paddock may have been planning a getaway. >> i have multiple gunshot wounds right here. >> get in the truck. >> reporter: and they find it hard to believe paddock who killed 58 people with an arsenal of guns didn't have some type of

help. >> it's troublesome that this individual was able to move this amount of gear in a hotel room unassisted. >> reporter: the las vegas sheriff says among the 23 weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition found in the mandalay bay suite turned sniper's nest at least three of the assault rifles were outfitted with hunting scopes. this rifle 1 of 12 with an attachment called a bump stock that allows it to fire continuously mimicking an automatic weapon. this video demonstrates how it works. on the tip of the rifle a flash hider making its fiery blast difficult to spot. police still unclear why paddock went on the killing spree. but say he was disturbed, dangerous and living a secret life. you mentioned in your comments he had a secret life. what do you mean by that? >> anything that would indicate this individual's trigger point and that would cause him to do such harm, we haven't understood it yet.

>> reporter: this morning we're learning more about that mandalay bay security guard who located the exact room where paddock was firing from. police say jesus campos approached is suite alone after calls from other guests. paddock striking him. campos telling abc news overnight i'm fine, i was just doing my job. >> his bravery was amazing because he remained with our officers providing them the key pass to access the door and actually continued to help them clear rooms until our officers demanded he seek medical attention. >> reporter: and now the possibility paddock may have been planning to attack earlier. abc news confirmed he rented a room at the ogden, a downtown vegas condo building at the same time the outdoor music festival life is beautiful was taking place two weeks ago. look how close it is. the shooter would have been in the ogden building. one of the concert stages was

just below it, and this entire area, full of people and potential targets. police confirming out of the 487 injured, 317 have been discharged, but still so many in the hospital like carmen allegria. >> i was just praying and thinking we're going to do. >> reporter: shot in her leg, her best friend, shot in the shoulder. they loved outdoor music festivals but not anymore. >> i don't want to be around big groups of people. i don't necessarily want to come back to vegas. >> reporter: a sentiment likely felt by most who survived this incident. police have the same question this morning. why? they still have no clear motive. they say he did not leave behind a suicide note, but they have one finding. they want to know what happened last year. that's when paddock started buying these guns and something flipped the switch to set him on the road to becoming a mass

murderer. >> and he have help getting those guns into the hotel? >> reporter: george, police say it just doesn't add up. they don't know how they got all those weapon sboos ths into tha essentially armed for war, but they want to speak to a woman who possibly was with paddock around this time, george? >> thanks very much. asm amy. we are also now hearing from the shooter's girlfriend, marilou danley, who was questioned by investigators for hours. she released a statement on wednesday saying stephen paddock she knew was kind, caring and quiet. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with those new details. good morning, brian. >> good morning. law enforcement officials this morning are expressing skepticism about the girlfriend's claim that she knew nothing, nothing about what stephen paddock was up to. >> reporter: agents grilled her for hours inside the fbi headquarters in los angeles. but marilou danley insisted again and again she had no idea about the evil her boyfriend had spent months planning. her lawyer read her statement after the session ended.

>> he never said anything to me or took any action that i was aware of that i understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen. >> reporter: danley had been stephen paddock's live-in girlfriend for at least three years sharing this home in mesquite, nevada, where police found more than a dozen high-powered weapons and ammunition he had been stockpiling for more than a year. yet, she says she saw nothing. >> you got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point. >> reporter: paddock met danley when she was a casino hostess. they gambled together playing video poker and the slots. investigators want to know if he went along when she traveled to dubai where she posted this smiling photo. danley claims she thought when paddock sent her to the philippines two weeks before the shooting and wired some $127,000, it was so she could buy a new house.

>> honestly i was worried at first the unexpected trip home and the money was a way of breaking up with me. i knew stephen paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. i loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. >> danley spent most of the day with the fbi and at the end of it sticking to her story that as she told her family, her conscience was clean, amy. >> all right, brian. thank you. let's bring in our chief legal analyst, dan abrams, now for more and danley's statement saying she saw no warning signs that anything was going to happen. police say she's cooperating. they remain skeptical, though. what are they trying to learn from her now? >> they want to know what she knows leading up to it and what she's doing since then as well and here's what i mean. it's not a crime for her to not reported he was amassing weapons. the question is, did she know what he was going to use those weapons for, and most importantly, did she aid or abet

in any way? did she even help him buy an illegal weapon. even that alone could be a problem. if she knew or had an inkling what he was up to, almost anything she did to help him could be seen as a crime, and then question two is going to be, even if she knew nothing, is she telling the truth about it? >> did she not ask him why so many guns? >> that's right, because if it's true that she is saying, i had no idea, i didn't know anything about the weapons, if that's not true, that in and of itself could be the crime of obstruction of justice so you're talking about two separate avenues, the possibility of aiding and abetting before and then even if he didn't aid and abet, even if she wasn't involved in any way, if she's not telling the truth now about everything she knew that's a separate possible crime. >> she would be facing some crimes if officials were able to prove this. how difficult would it be to prove those things? >> look, this is one of these challenges they've had in other case, right, the shooter omar mateen in the pulse nightclub case, his wife was charged with similar crimes, both for

materially assisting, aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. these cases aren't that easy, but look. they are going to be able to trace back almost everything that this guy did. every move he made, and if they don't believe that she's telling the truth here, they could have a strong case. >> all right, dan abrams, thanks so much. >> anything she lies about becomes the hook. >> she can't lie at all now about anything. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. we saw president trump meeting with victims and first responders in las vegas wednesday. he offered words of consolation, quiet on the issue of gun control but on capitol hill, more talk of banning those bump stocks that the gunman used to turn his rifles into machine guns. our senior white house correspondent, cecilia vega, has more on all that from las vegas. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. this gun control debate may be growing louder on capitol hill but this is not something the president is willing to answers questions on at least not yet. he says gun laws in this country is a conversation we will have at a later time. the president tweeting out this video of his trip to las vegas, a visit to the hospital set to music. ♪ stand up

>> reporter: president trump and the first lady meeting survivors and their families posing for photos along the way and greeting first responders who rushed to help. >> i have to tell you, it makes you very proud to be an american when you see the job that they've done. >> reporter: the president offering a message of unity. >> in the depths of horror we will always find hope. in the men and women who risk their lives for ours. the mass murder that took place on sunday night fills america's heart with grief. >> reporter: but there was one topic he did not address. >> mr. president, does america have a gun violence problem? >> we're not going to talk about that today. >> reporter: the debate over gun control hitting capitol hill. >> how many more must die? 100? 1,000? 10,000? a million? what is your blood price? >> reporter: at the center of

the debate now, those bump stocks, attachments that allow semiautomatic rifles to fire hundreds of rounds per minute. the las vegas gunman had 12 rifles modified with these attachments, a top senate democrat now introducing a bill that would ban their sale and possession. >> some have said we shouldn't do this now. we should wait. now is not the time. ladies and gentlemen, when is the time going to be there? >> reporter: so it's not just democrats now, a growing number of republicans say they are at least open to the idea of holding hearings on these bump stocks. a you number of people on capitol hill say they have never heard of these attachments before, and before with one republican saying he didn't know there was such a thing, and, george, there's no reason for it. >> the president has been pretty quiet on this. any sense from the white house this is something the president could sign on to? >> reporter: well, george, if talking points that the white house has distributed to its allies are any indication, no,

bump stocks are not mentioned in these talking points, instead they say new laws won't stop a madman. >> on another front, yesterday we saw those reports that the secretary of state threatened to resign this summer calling the president a moron in a private meeting. the white house and secretary of state pushing back on that. >> reporter: yeah, george, real strong pushback on this one from not just the white house, but president trump himself. he was asked here in las vegas whether he has confidence in his secretary of state, rex tillerson. he says, i had total confidence in him, total confidence, he said it twice. >> let's get more from martha raddatz. you saw the statements from the white house and the secretary of state yesterday but it's no secret there has been a lot of friction between the white house and the secretary of state over iran, over north korea, over the charlottesville incident and that could make it more difficult for the second of tate to do his job overseas. >> reporter: i think that's right, george. it's hard to see how this doesn't undermine tillerson's effort. you could look at it as a good

cop/bad cop approach but foreign leaders know it's the president who ultimately makes decisions. we heard senator corker, head of foreign relations, say, tillerson is just not getting the support he needs from the administration adding that tillerson like secretary mattis is helping to, quote, separate our country from chaos. >> hard to see how long he can stay under these conditions. meanwhile on another front, we learned overnight that at least three u.s. special forces were killed in an ambush in the african country of niger. >> reporter: right, george, there are about 400 u.s. military personnel in niger helping the niger military with counterterrorism methods against al qaeda and isis but most are at a drone base. the three green berets killed and two wounded were on patrol with the niger soldiers when they were ambushed. it is not clear, george, who attacked them. >> thanks very much, martha. let's go michael. a new report on distracted driving and those systems used

to navigate texts and tune your radio. aaa found out some may take your eyes and attention off the road for dangerous amounts of time and abc's david kerley is in mclean, virginia, behind the wheel to give us a demo. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it is the new technology in these cars and by the way we are on a closed parking lot to show you in that really worries the aaa. these new systems that allow you not only to look at and listen to text messages but social media and say it can be a dangerous distraction. >> tune, a.m., 830. >> reporter: watch this driver in the aaa study. >> tuning to a.m. 830. >> reporter: verbally trying to tune his radio, and nearly hitting a pedestrian. performing another tank he nearly hits a car. aaa says just two seconds of your eyes off the road doubles the chance of a crash. >> find address. >> reporter: aaa and the university of utah found using gps navigation may be the

heaviest cognitive drain. >> did you say lake city, utah. >> no. >> reporter: suggesting it takes 40 seconds to input an address. at 25 miles per hour a vehicle would have traveled the length of four football fields. >> a lot of these tasks like texting and navigation and so forth have high visual demand. they're also associated with high mental demand. >> reporter: researchers tested 30 vehicles with drivers and found 23 of them required high or heavy demand on drivers to operate. >> you go to contacts and look for jake nelson. >> reporter: on a closed track we gave the systems a try which can be controlled by voice commands but there's also a touch screen. i'm getting text messages as i'm trying to call this person. so i think he may be jake instead of nelson so let's try jake. >> reporter: the auto industry which heavily discourages texting and driving is critical of this new research and the methods used. their representatives telling us automakers have worked for years to help drivers focus on the

road and drivers should avoid using handheld devices and instead use vehicle-integrated systems that are designed to be used in the car and are comparable to tuning the radio or adjusting climate controls. so basically what the auto industry is saying is you should use hands-free. that means just use the audio portion. when a text message comes in that's what that is, you push the button -- >> please say your command. >> reporter: text messages and use it just through the audio system and that will be sufficient. the problem is that some folks in the aaa, this is also a touch screen and they are worried you will come down and touch the screen and distract up. that's the concern. that's the debate, guys, about how this technology is helping or making us a little bit less safe. >> seems like a valid concern. >> valid concern but sometimes almost the cars do too much. yeah. just drive, be safe. you have kids driving cars like that too. >> you can't remind us enough

about distracted driving. >> when you hear that, who's trying to get in touch with me, david, thank you for that. we want to turn to ginger. ginger, you're tracking nate in the caribbean. >> it could become nate. so it's not yet, but we're watching that group of thunderstorms and what it means for nicaragua, 15 to 20 inches of rain on the eastern side, up to 30 inches and honduras could see 5 to 10. then as it goes into the midweekend goes through the yucatan peninsula and how much it interacts with land depends on the strength, either a strong tropical storm or low end category 1 going into the gulf. all right. your local weather in 30 seconds. first though, the summerlike cities brought to you by walgreens.

routes and making -- getting those extra yards. does that give you a little bit of an enjoyment to see him truck-sticking people out there? >> it's funny to hear a female talk about routes. it's funny. >> reporter: that reporter, jourdan rodrigue, a panthers beat writer calling out his remarks on twitter writing, i don't think it's funny to be a female and talk about routes. i think it's my job. newton immediately drawing sharp criticism for the comments many found to be sexist online and on the air. >> ignorance and sexism. that is what we saw today from cam newton. >> reporter: she told abc news, i was dismayed by his response, which not only belittled me, but countless other women before me and beside me who work in similar jobs. >> there are more women in the sports media as we move forward into the next few decades. that's where we are in this country so cam newton is completely out of touch. >> reporter: in a statement the

nfl said the comments are just plain wrong and disrespectful to the exceptional female reporters and all journalists who cover our league. and the panthers tell espn that newton later spoke to the reporter and expressed regret for the remarks, but rodrigue tells a different story. quote, i sought mr. newton out as he left the locker room a few minutes later. he did not apologize for his comments. one reporter in the room said there was dead silence after his response. let's remember, you guys, nearly half of nfl fans are women. it's perhaps their most important fan base and demographic. a narrative they don't need right now. >> paula, you used to cover sports. >> i did. >> you have any similar stories? >> i covered sports for a decade and absolutely loved it. unfortunately, you hear this every now and then i was told women don't belong in sports 6 of or you won't make it unless you show your goods. those were spoken to me. it's an unfortunate sentiment but not the majority sentiment which is respect from your colleagues, from the team, from the owners and from the players. >> but i think anybody, any player in that locker room who understands it's a job.

>> it is a job. >> you're there and the qualifications -- the questions -- >> i don't want to be in the locker room for any longer than i have to be. i want to ask my question and then i want to get out of there. >> the way that cam said it was in a way, well, how would you know? you've never played the game. i got to say, 90% of the reporters have never played the game either. the male reporters, so i think we -- myself i looked at it as someone who is trying to do their job who may understand parts of the game in a different way that i do. >> and that was a respectable question. >> absolutely a respectable question. >> what's the countdown clock to cam's public apology? >> it's ticking. it is ticking. all right, paula, thank you very much. when we come back, we have the woman accused of dressing up like a clown and killing her romantic rival. how police may have cracked the case after nearly three decades. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

seek the death penalty in this case. >> reporter: the 54-year-old wife and stepmother charged in a bizarre 27-year-old cold case. like a scene straight out of the hollywood film, "it." >> i'm pennywise the dancing clown. >> reporter: this is the woman who detectives say dressed as a clown back in 1990. police say keen warren pulled up to the florida home of her boyfriend's wife dressed up as a clown complete with an orange wig and white face paint. handed her a bouquet of flowers and two balloons, then shot her at point blank range. >> i really don't want to talk. >> reporter: the victim's son joe home at the time of the murder. watching the clown calmly driving away in this white convertible. >> any murder is horrific. it doesn't matter wearing a clown costume or not. >> reporter: marlene warren dying two days later. investigators quickly zeroing in on keen warren, an employee at marlene's husband's used car dealership and detectives looking into rumors of an affair between the two.

police even finding fibers from a bright orange wig at keen warren's home. but there was never enough evidence to arrest her. then three years ago detectives re-opening the investigation with the help of new dna testing after learning that keen warren married the victim's husband michael in 2002. >> it was these technological advances that helped crack this case and hopefully will bring justice to the family of marlene warren. >> reporter: last week police finally arresting their suspect. marlene warren's parents saying they're relieved. >> justice will end it all here and that's all that really counts. >> reporter: sheila keen warren was extradited tuesday from virginia with she was living with her husband, michael, for years. she's being held without bond and is expected to plead not guilty. she vehemently denies any involvement. george? >> linzie, thanks very much.

dan abrams back for this. wow, 27 years after the fact. >> and they have viewed her as a suspect since 1991. they were even publicly naming her as a possible suspect but they go back in 2014, armed with new dna evidence, they go and interview new witnesses and they now believe they're able to get identifying witnesses who can say she's the one who bought the balloons from me and the flowers 90 minutes before this happened. she's the one who bought a clown suit from me a couple days earlier. so now they believe they've linked her to the clown suit, to the flowers, to the balloons, you throw dna evidence on that and motive which is amazing. they didn't know that these two had gotten married. >> that gets to my next question. the husband not charged but not in the clear either. >> not yet. not at all. they're continuing the investigation. but the fact that they didn't know that these two were married until they re-opened this investigation in 2014 is amazing and i'm sure the investigators suddenly said wait a second. these two got married?

so he is definitely still being investigated as part of this and we'll see what they turn up. >> okay, dan abrams, thanks very much. over to amy. all right, guys, coming up next on our big board, look who is here. the "jeopardy" champ everyone is talking about. you don't look very happy right now. >> it's too early. >> okay, well, he has won the most money the fastest in "jeopardy" history and has a lot to be excited about. i hope you cheer up before we get to the next break. >> the money is cool. the morning isn't. >> all right. we'll be right back. still funny. >> all right. we'll be right back. still funny.

i understand you love your children. but what i don't think you understand is that your son has two parents, and dad gets a say. >> reporter: the judge not holding back. >> you've repeatedly stated over the past several days publicly you will not follow this court order. >> reporter: just last week bredow fiercely defended her decision on "gma." >> it wasn't until they started grouping vaccines that i chose to no longer vaccinate. i would rather go to jail for standing up for what i believe in than vaccinating my child. >> reporter: doctors say grouping vaccines is a common medical practice and carries less risk than avoiding them entirely. >> so a lot of times one vaccine can be combined with another vaccine if it seems like the combination is more effective than giving them individually. >> reporter: the american academy of pediatrics emphasizes vaccines are safe. vaccines are effective. vaccines save lives. >> so vaccines were made to protect your child against illnesses. the recommended schedule that

is, you know, the vaccine manufacturer recommends and the cdc recommends is designed in a way to actually get optimal results. >> reporter: now, bredow's ex-husband has temporary custody of their son while she serves her time behind bars. the judge also said the child must be brought up to date on his vaccinations as quickly as possible. bredow is expected in court sometime next week. >> all right, erielle, thanks so much. we appreciate it. now we're going to go to our exclusive interview with the pregnant passenger who says she was dragged off a southwest flight for saying she may have an allergic reaction to pets on board. abc's stephanie ramos sat down with her to talk about the incident and good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning. the woman in this viral video says she was humiliated and emotionally scarred when she was kicked off this flight. but the airline says, they just couldn't risk traveling with her. >> what are you doing? >> reporter: this morning, the woman in this now viral video speaking out about being violently dragged from a

southwest flight last tuesday. >> it was so important for me to be in los angeles. >> reporter: 46-year-old anila daulatzai says she is two months pregnant and was flying to los angeles to reach her elderly father who was about to have surgery. >> when i boarded the plane the first thing i asked the flight attendant was how many dogs will be on the plane. >> reporter: southwest allows passengers to choose their own seats at boarding. daulatzai says she chose a seat far enough away from the animals because she's allergic. at any point did you say i could die if i am near dogs? >> never, in fact, i said the absolute opposite. i said it's not life-threatening at all. >> reporter: that's when daulatzai says flight attendants and the captain continued to ask her about the allergy. >> he started by saying i'm uncomfortable with you on the plane. i said, i'm sorry. i'm a primary caretaker for my father. i need to be there and i really ask you to reconsider. >> reporter: and that's when she says the maryland transportation police came on to escort her off the plane.

>> i was calmly explaining that it's not life-threatening over and over again. i even gave options that were just categorically rejected by the captain. so for me it was clear a lack of conflict resolution skills with them. there's something that they just didn't trust me. i was a brown woman with a hoodie. >> reporter: daulatzai says she was subjected to racist and disparaging treatment by officers. she was charged with disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, disturbing the peace, obstructing and hindering a police officer and resisting arrest. her lawyer says they will take legal action against southwest. >> we fear that when you google her, the first thing that's going to come up are these criminal charges which we plan to contest. >> reporter: in a statement to heir tab policy. writing, our reports indicate the customer stated that she had a life-threatening pet allergy, but she was unable to provide

the medical certificate necessary to complete travel. our flight crew made repeated attempts to explain the situation to the customer, however, she refused to deplane and law enforcement became involved. one of the contentious points in this entire situation was this medical certificate that southwest says anila daulatzai was required to have in order to fly with a severe pet allergy. but if you go on the southwest website there is no mention of this required medical certificate, but what they do say is that they'll make sure to seat that person as far away as possible from the animal which is what anila daulatzai says she tried to do from the very beginning. michael. >> thank you, stephanie. always disturbing to watch those videos, people being removed. >> sure is. >> okay. we're going to go over to ginger. ginger, what you got? >> we promised it. i have an update from the national hurricane center on now tropical storm nate and so this is a really big issue for central america. they could see dangerous and i mean life-threatening flash flooding and even mudslides as we go through the next 24 hours then that hurricane watch

hi, there. your 12-hour day planner, a little fog ling erg at the coast through 9:00, then sunshine everywhere, 82 inland. at 4:00, a bump up. my this weather report has been brought to you by zeljanz. you're all used to seeing our set, our fabulous audience, of course, but come with me. there is a whole world behind the scenes in our "gma" green room where our guests hang out before the show. so we teamed up with our sponsor keurig to revamp the space. believe me, it needed it. before we show the results let's watch the incredible transformation. this was the "good morning america" green room. old chairs, drab curtains and outdated coffee machines. it was in need of a major renovation. so with blueprints in hand our sponsor keurig helped transform this space into a contemporary coffee house.

over the course of one week the room was ripped apart from top to bottom. first up we put down brand-new floors and we jazzed up the walls with a subway tile and brick look. comfortable bench seating for our guests now line the windows, cool light fixtures hang from the ceiling and new coffee bar is decked out with quart countertop, a custom wood paneled wall and new keurig brewers and pods and the final touch, new furniture adding a pop of color and modern style to the room. and now the moment we've all been waiting for. hey, everybody. wow, it's looking so good in here. you'll be seeing a lot more of this room just so you know. beautiful stuff out here and believe me it did not look like that before and can see our wake-up call you can see live every morning on our facebook page and see that done from here and interviews with celebrities and see coffee which we are so excited about. keurig brewers, brewer pods, they're all here.

the keurig system has more than 70 brands including some of your favorites like starbucks, peete's, green mountain coffee and dunkin' donuts and the new from keurig k-select brewer and increases the intensity of your coffee in under a minute. new coffee. that's about all we can ask for. you have a bigger surprise too. >> i do that news about the coffee, though, available at all times. >> i'm awake. >> we're happy and a great treat for everybody here. our entire audience, you guys are all getting this, come on out. each and every one of you is getting a keurig brewer and some green mountain k-cup pods. love the k-cup pods. hazelnut my favorite. everybody, you can have a perfect cup of coffee. you get one. you get one. you get one.

bench since. >> no, i actually have not. so this is the two most biggest things i think i have -- digs that i've made not counting the personal life, of course. you always have to mention that. >> right. it's all okay, jessica. >> yeah, i remember sitting here and just -- on both those occasions, honestly, george, i'm going to tell you the truth. other than those two times i have never sat on this bench. >> in the '70s we were the new hot thing, stand-up comics doing his thing. >> here in the special you went back to your original stand-up routines. >> uh-huh. >> it is it true you had to relearn some of the jokes. >> all of them. i was surprised too. like i don't know, this little joke in there about the cotton balls. >> i go to the doctor before he gives you the shot puts the alcohol on your arm with a cotton ball. i bring one of mine. he goes for his. i go, maybe you could use this

one. >> that was always a great laugh. i couldn't find the funny. why was it funny? it was a certain timing and like a move with your hand and there's a look on your face. all those things have to be there or it doesn't work. >> it's not just what's on the paper. >> no, no, that's 2% of it. 98% is the way you do it. >> so i could read one of your jokes and -- >> probably not going to work. >> no. as the title says the special takes us back to jerry's beginning long before the megasuccess of "seinfeld." >> would i have been funnier if i grew up in peoria in a whorehouse raised by prostitutes? absolutely but this is what i had to work with. >> you could not have imagined the life this became. >> no. >> no way. >> no way. you know, i know how columbus felt. >> we're going to go to india and get some spice, some nice

fabrics. it's a bigger thing. >> you must have known something. one of the most amazing things in the special, we see all of the yellow pads. you've saved every successful joke. >> george, what else did i have? >> i don't know. >> nothing. a couple people have asked why did you save it? what else would you save? what else -- i don't have jewels. i don't have nice clothes, but the material. >> the hardest thing in all of entertainment is to write stand-up comedy. it is harder than anything else. >> so tell us how it happens. you have an office. >> so i still do the same exact thing. >> you sit down, put the pad out. >> same thing, same pad, same pen. bic pen. clear barrel bic, blue. >> just wait? >> and just wait. i don't just wait because i have things i want to talk about, like i want to talk about when you're texting the three ghosty dots. why are we so anxious.
