streaming wars. audiences are starting to go back to the theaters. >> i can't save everyone. >> but do studios really want movie fans to leave home? hollywood has raked it in with on demand releases, but many are fighting to save the cinema experience. who will win the battle of the big screen? >> announcer: this is a special new year's day edition of "good morning america." and good morning, america. so glad you're spending your new year's with us and thrilled to start 2022 with linsey davis, stephanie ramos back at the desk with us once again, and we want to let you know we're mostly on tape so the majority of our team can celebrate at home too. and we hope that you're having a great holiday. >> there is a feeling of good-bye and good riddance to 2021 for many of us. the country and world facing one of the most difficult years imaginable, but the fireworks overnight as the world welcomed 2022 can't help but give you a sense of new beginnings. >> this morning we're going to remember the year we've all just

been through and look ahead at what's to come with a positive outlook. but first let's go to andrew dymburt for the morning's top stories. andrew? >> thanks, stephanie. happy new year to all. let's turn to some of the stories that are making headlines beginning with the death of beloved actress and comedienne betty white. she passed away in her home in los angeles just weeks before what would have been her 100th birthday. betty white was seemingly ageless with generations of fans. abc's zohreen shah has more on her incredible life. ♪ thank you for being a friend ♪ >> reporter: she was america's beloved golden girl. >> was sofia naked just now or does her dress really need ironing? >> reporter: a one of a kind actress who with just a look could make us all laugh. betty mary ann white dreamed of a career in showbiz and hollywood began to take notice. by the 1940s working in radio and then taking center stage with "life with elizabeth." >> betty white in "life with elizabeth."

>> reporter: but it was the role of sue ann nivens in "the mary tyler moore show" -- >> oh, my poor baby. >> reporter: -- that catapulted her to a different league of success. that role earning her two emmys. then came "the golden girls," the sitcom about four women of a certain age living together as roommates in miami. her character, rose nylund, the ditzy one of the group, always ready with a story from her hometown. >> i should have said no to the miss st. olaf beauty pageant. it was 1951. that was the first year they let humans enter too. >> reporter: white would work until the end. at 87, she stole her scenes from the likes of sandra bullock and ryan reynolds in "the proposal." >> the word girl is inappropriate. >> reporter: "hot in cleveland" saw her again under the roof of roommates, except this time she was the no nonsense matriarch of the group. >> did they charge you extra for

those big man hands? >> reporter: one of the most well-known names in hollywood to this day. >> oh, come on, man, you've been riding me all day. >> you're playing like betty white out there. >> that's not what your girlfriend said. >> reporter: the oldest to ever host "saturday night live." >> well, it's great to be here for a number of reasons. >> reporter: betty white passed away right before the new year. she was 99 years young. in an interview betty was asked how she would like to be remembered. >> that i made people laugh, and i made them think a little bit, and the two parts of my life, the animal part and the television part and i worked them together as much as i can. oh, it's betty being silly again. that's what i'd like to be remembered as, the good friend that they invite into their home. >> some of betty white's famous friends taking to social media to remember the star including ryan reynolds who co-starred with her in "the proposal" tweeting, the world looks different now.

she was great at defying expectation. she managed to grow very old and somehow not old enough. we'll miss you, betty. henry winkler sharing, betty white, it is very hard to absorb you're not here anymore but the memories of your delight are. thank you for your humor, your warmth and activism and former "saturday night live" host seth meyers writing, rest in peace, betty white, the only "snl" host i ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party, a pa

and that's a l and that's a look at the top headlines this morning. now back to whit, linsey and stephanie. >> andrew, thanks. we look back now at the year in politics. 2021 started with a deadly january 6th capitol riot. lawmakers including the vice president ducking for cover as we all watched it unfold. that day marking one of the most divisive periods in recent history. abc's maryalice parks has the story. >> reporter: as violent rioters rammed past security and broke into the u.s. capitol congressman dan kildee was right there. in the house gallery, those balconies over the house floor. >> this was one of the most traumatic things i've been through, and then we could hear this noise, this sound of a crowd. >> reporter: at the main lectern the sergeant at arms told them the capitol had been breached. still, kildee could not fathom

so many were inside and that their lives were in danger. >> what in the hell is going on? why isn't this -- you know, why isn't this being put down more quickly? how could this happen? >> right. >> and obviously it's still bothering me and -- >> that place felt like untouchable. >> yeah, i mean -- >> the safest place you could imagine. >> reporter: with the mob closing in, the congressman tried to take cover. >> i called my wife, and as soon as i heard her voice, it just hit me that i was having that phone call, you know, that you hear about, a phone call from the building that's about to collapse or from the airplane that's going down. >> reporter: worried about his wife watching it all on tv kildee lied. he told her he was okay, but moments later, this. >> nobody ever thinks there's going to be one gunshot and no more.fired,el tt. isin be a shootout of some kind. >> reporter: kildee laid low on

the floor remembering visiting those very balconies as a teenager. his first inodtion to capitol hill, now he wondered if it would be his last view too. >> i grew up loving this institution, wanting to be a part of it, finally getting here, feeling this incredible honor every time i walk into it and then to have people who are also americans who not only don't feel that, who desecrated the place, who literally tried to tear it and what it stands for apart. that hurts me even now. >> reporter: kildee tells me he has changed and that the capitol has changed. he says he's lost respect for many of his republican colleagues who told lies about election fraud and objected to fair election results. he says he plans to be back on january 6th this year because the most important thing last year was that they came back and certified the results.

>> we finished our work over the objections of a majority of one of the two political parties in this country. if they had had their way, we would not have certified that election. the insurrection would have succeeded. >> reporter: five people died that day, more than 150 officers were injured. many hospitalized, seriously wounded unable to return to work for months. marlon dubuisson remembers finally calling his mom to held her that they were safe. he has worked for congressman gerry connolly for four years. did you think for a second about just leaving, being done with this place? >> no, i think leadership is important. >> reporter: that day he was huddled here with his colleagues for hours. what do you want people to remember about that day as we come up on the anniversary? >> that it shouldn't be normalized. the united states is a pillar of democracy for a reason.

so to attack our democracy and for the world to see that, it's -- it did damage to our reputation, and we have to build that back. but i think when i wake up on january 6, 2022, i'm going to think about the purpose that i have doing this job. >> reporter: for "good morning america," maryalice parks, abc news, washington. >> maryalice, thank you. our focus in 2021 was on the coronavirus largely and despite the availability of vaccines, 2021 was actually a deadlier year for americans than 2020. "gma3" sat down with dr. jennifer ashton to talk about our year in health from covid and beyond. >> hey there. good morning, linsey. wishing you, everybody happy new year. dr. ashton here with me. look, we've been talking pandemic and a lot of people hoping we're coming out of the pandemic. you spent time with the cdc director recently. so the question is, what is 2022 supposed to look like? >> we're still really seeing

what a lot of people would call in the thick of it in terms of cases. i think as we look into the next year, we really have to accept the fact that this pandemic is not a straight line up or down. there's no magic finish line or light switch here. it's going to be ups and downs. it's going to be a moving target. it's going to continue to evolve and we need to remain adaptable and flexible to incorporate every new twist and turn and then respond accordingly. >> what a horrible toll it has taken on us, of course, with the deaths, hospitalizations. we talk about the physical impacts but the mental health impacts are just profound. >> as we said from the very beginning, we remember back, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental health professionals from the get-go were calling this the second pandemic, the pandemic of mental illness. we've seen skyrocketing cases of anxiety, depression, ptsd, emergency room visits across all ages but particularly amongst

teenagers, people of color, teenage girls, subgroups hit harder than others. everyone has been affected by this pandemic in some way or another mentally, psychologically. the bottom line is, you are not alone. there is always help. ask for help, and remember that while this seems like it's endless, it will not be this way forever. >> this pandemic has also included a pandemic of misinformation. you have been on this from the very beginning you've been fighting this but how do you continue to wage that war? >> yeah, the world health organization literally calling that out and as has the surgeon general and a multitude of credentialed incredible public health experts here. this is not a time where we can afford to get communication wrong. people's lives are at stake. their health is at stake. so, again, just because everyone has a screen and a device or most people can get some kind of information within seconds doesn't always mean that is

credible information. so, again, get it from the best sources, world health organization, cdc, fda, credentialed people. lastly if you hear someone sharing information that is not correct, it's not necessarily their fault. so let's kind of get out of the shame and blame lane. >> well, speaking of lanes you have several lanes, you wear several hats. we talk about you're an ob/gyn, you're a nutritionist. but i'm going to ask you to put on your weather hat. >> that's ginger and rob. >> to this point when it comes to what we've been seeing in climate change, pollution, yes, in weather, all these effects, what kind of impact is that going to have on health as well? >> when we did our networkwide initiative and feature covering the effects of climate change, the effects on our health are well known, and they are not potential or, you know, possible or theoretical occurring at some point in time possibly down the road. they are affecting our health today when you talk about clean

drinking water, clean air and the effects of weather change causing natural disasters like droughts and major heat waves in addition to other weather events that we see all the time. those are direct consequences and we're already suffering the effects. so it's something that we need to connect the dots on now and awareness and observation is always the first step in medicine and science. >> all right, 2022, looking forward to it. >> here we go. >> oh, my goodness. that sounded like a buckle up. all right. dr. jen ashton, thank you so much. want to wish everybody a happy new year. >> happy new year. >> you can, of course, see me, dr. ashton and amy robach on "gma3: what you need to know" in the afternoons, right, monday through friday. that's when we're on, right? >> that's right. >> all right, stephanie. now from the health of your body to the health of your wallet. millions of american have either lost their jobs or quit them. many have had to dip deeply into savings to make ends meet. the new year is a good time to get back on the right financial track, and abc's deidre bolton is here with tips on how to do

it. deidre, good to see you here in studio. >> good to see you. happy new year. inflation may make 2022 a more expensive year for basics such as rent, food, gasoline. consumers really don't have that much control over those prices but here are some good tips for your money in an inflationary environment. so redeem cash back or other loyalty points to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. use up a stash of gift cards you may have sitting around or recently received. use supermarket and other retailer sales ads to buy nonperishable items when on sale. better still, you can stack coupons on top of that for additional savings. when shopping online use coupon codes for additional savings. lean into retailers' rewards programs. as for growing your money, so important, pay your future self through a 401(k) or retirement plan. in the shorter term reroute a bit of your money if you can to build up an emergency fund just in case. last but not least, review your spending.

subscriptions, ordering food in, eating out, it doesn't mean you have to cut all your creature comforts, but at least know where your money is going. whit? >> deidre, thank you. we are kicking off 2022 with a look at some of the most exciting places around the country that you'll want to add to your travel wish list. of course, with the ongoing pandemic staying healthy while vacationing is a top concern, so joining us with a variety of safety getaway options that won't break the bank is "frommer's" ed towaitorial direr pauline frommer. pauline, good morning to you. great to have you. >> great to be here. >> happy new year as well. given that covid is still with us, what are some of the things people need to keep in mind when traveling this year? >> if you want to travel safe you need to get vaccinated. you need to mask up indoors and stay away from places where covid is spiking. so keep track of that and maybe get insurance, seafarer insurance, cancel for any

reason is the only type that will allow you to cancel if covid is spiking. >> that's great advice. we got a list of some of the top travel destinations for the year, and some might surprise you. if you're interested in learning a little more about american history, you actually recommend oklahoma for 2022. >> they are really getting serious about history this year. the new bob dylan center is opening there in 2022. this year the greenwood rising museum opened. that's about the tulsa race massacre, which was 100 years ago. if you saw hbo's "watchmen," you saw that and in oklahoma city, $175 million new museum to native american history, just an extraordinary place. >> so a lot to get in there. okay, so if you're looking to set sail, tell us about the great lakes. >> you can now cruise on the great lakes with viking cruise ships. it's going to be like the type of experience you used to have in the mediterranean, but it's in the middle of the midwest. glamorous ships, great food, just a really great new option for travelers.

>> okay, so this next one is one of my personal favorites, alaska. for the adventurous type you want to get connected with nature. why is alaska a good option for the family this year? >> well, you can take a road trip in alaska and see everything you'd see on a cruise but at your own speed. go to the kenai peninsula. it's south on anchorage. there is the best fishing on the planet. there are glaciers, mountains, bald eagles, whales breaching. i took my own daughter when she was about 6. we had the best time. it's so great. you can even try dogsledding and gold panning, so much fun. >> i can vouch for the fishing, the turquoise water of the kenai river, just amazing. definitely recommend that. las vegas. viva las vegas. why is it a deal and why is it going into overdrive in 2022? >> a lot want to seem to gamble. they're on the track to have a record year in las vegas in terms of money lost at the casinos, but that's not why you want to go.

you want to go to hear great music. adele is going to be doing a residency, katy perry, luke bryan, jon lovitz for comedy. it's just going to be a great year to go and dance and see shows in las vegas. >> all right. we'll have to pack up the family van, do a road trip. pauline, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. rob, over to you. >> >> all right, whit, get your travel planner ready. you know for many of us on new year's day it means headaches and resolutions or resolutions that cause headaches. it also means college football. most of the big bowl games are played today, and espn's college football analyst jesse palmer is here with the lowdown. jesse? >> reporter: rob, there could not be a better way to ring in the new year than college football on new year's day starting with the fiesta bowl. notre dame taking on oklahoma state, two of the best defenses in college football. notre dame goes into the game 11-1 playing without their head coach brian kelly and without their star running back kyron williams and they're facing off against one of the

best defenses in the nation and oklahoma state giving up just 16 points a game. it's going to be important jack coan at quarterback has a big game. it all rests on the shoulders of spencer sanders, so talented and gifted throwing the football, running the football, turnovers have been an issue for him throughout his career. he's got to be a great decision maker against one of the best pass rushes in college football in notre dame. moving on to the granddaddy of them all, the rose bowl in the afternoon, ohio state and utah. ohio state is an explosive offense averaging 45 points a game, tops in the country but e quarterback c.j. stroud playing without two of his best receivers, garrett wilson and chris olave who are preparing for the nfl draft. expect treveon henderson to get a lot of touches in this one. utah very confident team coming into this one. won six in a row since they made the switch at quarterback to cam rising. they've been electric on offense and they have one of the best defensive players in the entire country in devin lloyd at linebacker. he can do it all.

finally we move to the sugar bowl at night. ole miss and baylor. when ole miss has the football do not blink. they got tremendous tempo and they go fast and have one of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the country in matt corral. baylor, big-12 champion, very confident coming in. gary bohanan takes back over at quarterback. they're going to want to run the football. he needs to make big throws down the field. rob, get your popcorn ready. could not be a better way to start the new year than college football on espn. >> and you can see all five of today's bowl games on espn and abc starting with the outback bowl at noon on espn2 and the vrbo citrus bowl at 1:00 p.m. on abc. of course, the granddaddy of them all, the rose bowl from pasadena. >> yes, yes. >> that's a grand tradition in our household. my grandmother always made black-eyed peas and collard greens. i don't know why, but that's a thing. >> prosperity and money. >> oh. >> the black-eyed peas and a little ham hock in there, collard greens, a staple in

our house every year. >> more money? >> more money, i guess, in theory. >> thank you, rob. still ahead on "good morning america," the streaming wars, hollywood's battle over on demand versus movie theaters. will the cheaper cost of streaming make the big screen a thing of the past? and the new technology to keep you fit in the new year. we'll be right back. at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu? limu? limu? sorry, one sec. doug blows several different whistles. doug blows several different whistles.

in 2021 it was one or the other or both. the studios are drawn to more and more on demand premieres but are viewers ready to give up the big screen? abc's chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis has more on where we may see our movies this year. >> reporter: from "black widow" to "f9." >> let's get to work. >> reporter: the big screen is open for business. >> nice clubhouse. >> reporter: but while 2021 brought the return of movie theaters, cinephiles didn't exactly jump at the opportunity to leave the comfort of their couches thanks to the rise in streaming. consumers have more options than ever with the average american subscribing to about four platforms. so what does this mean for the future of movie theaters? we asked wabc's entertainment reporter and movie critic sandy. >> it's ved to chart the ness l tendance returns to prepandemic levels or nearly so. >> reporter: while box office receipts have improved since theaters shuttered their doors

in 2020 and the recent "spider-man" grossed more than $250 million opening weekend, it's still not business as usual. the highest grossing film of 2021 brought in almost 75% less than 2019, a $600 million difference. >> you have proven you can rule yourself. now you must learn to rule others. >> reporter: and with big budget films like "dune" and "godzilla versus kong" debuting on streaming, theaters are facing some tough realities, but kenyon says there's still hope as theaters aim to create a unique experience. >> once covid protocols are relaxed, you are going to see a continuing upgrade in the experience, better sound, brighter screen, even more comfortable seats. what has to change this year and ongoing is the astronomical price of items at the concession stand. >> reporter: some films are just

made for the big screen. >> this is all my fault. i can't save everyone. >> reporter: for "good morning america," rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. >> well, whether in the theater or at home, there is plenty to watch. thanks so much for that, rebecca. rob, you have a climate change story for us. >> did you say there was weather in the theater? that kind? >> whether. >> w-h. >> this or that. >> got it. got it. >> not the weather. >> yes, we do have weather and climate-related stories. actually we had a lot of big weather events in 2021. it was really impactful and for some a devastating year. from hurricanes to cold snaps to extreme heat waves and drought, hundreds of americans lost their lives and thousands of families lost their homes in what really we consider to be climate amplified weather disasters. from extreme heat to devastating flooding, disasters amplified by climate change riddled the american landscape in 2021 altering lives forever. hurricane ida, the third major

hurricane in the past two years to make landfall in louisiana, left some communities to say, they've had enough. >> heartbroken because the grandkids won't be able to come down here and enjoy this beautiful land. >> reporter: her family becoming some of the first american climate refugees. >> if we give up on a place like this, does that mean we'll have to give up on norfolk or boston or los angeles? wall i gngoe about have no a mile long part of a $500 million climate adaptation plan and building higher seawalls in manhattan to battle back rising tides. but just the torrential rains from storms like ida can bring a crushing blow to an urban landscape. >> what was once the 100-year flood isn't the 100-year flood anymore. >> reporter: five inches of rain falling in just three hours. in all 96 people died from hurricane ida in september. on the west coast, it's the

multi-decadal megadrought. reservoirs across the region reaching historic lows. record dry conditions also fueling more wildfires. the year was full of extreme temperatures too. the migrating polar vortex brought the costliest winter event in u.s. history, texas being the hardest hit, record cold turned into a humanitarian crisis when 10 million customers were left without power for more than a week. >> we have been without power for 60 hours now and without water for about 24. >> reporter: and in the pacific northwest a deadly heat wave. the region has never seen this before. >> this last year has really felt like an acceleration. we thought we had another decade before we would find our in situations like this and yet here we are. >> in 2021 there were at least 18 weather and climate disasters that exceeded $1 billion in insured losses causing over $100 billion in damage across the country, and there you see this map just littered with all those

you know, guys, for many it's been a while since we've been back in our office. for me over two years. i was there recently. i found a stack of post cards that i got at the end of 2019, and they're from a bunch of activists and in many cases grade schoolers writing me, climate change in our reporting. one reads it is a big problem for animals and people are getting harmed. sea levels are rising. ice caps are melting. we need to save the world from sathis past year. >> so those are pleasant. i'm just seeing hate mail. >> there's a lot of that too. >> this one is from sam champion. that's weird.
