"today" with news with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. >> hey, everybody, thank goodness it's thirsty thursday. hoda and i are barely surviving today. one of us is in traction and we'll tell you why. >> we went to lunch with 200 people yesterday at gallagher's by kath's theater. on 52nd street. we didn't know if anyone showed. we went in. let's see. george clooney in there? it's dark. there we are. we were having our fair share of you know what. >> yeah. >> it was just amazing. boy, the light is terrible. >> britney tried. >> suffice it to say those women are enthusiastic. >> we had a wild crowd. there were 200 people. i think more made it in. >> a lot of people snuck in. i want to thank whoever made this. >> pam. her name was pam.

>> she made a scarf. >> i'm just going to do it. one of those things that sounded funny then you do it and you go not so much. swing and a miss. but you know that's life. >> we are going to do gallagher's again next week. there was a lot of kissing and hugging. . thank you everybody. >> we loved everybody who came. >> pretty much. >> even the woman at the bar, i said thank you for coming. she said, who are you? i thought you came for lunch. she goes, no, i just eat here. okay. except for her. but it was a really fun afternoon. >> you know what drives me crazy, not the people, the people are wonderful. technology, people. >> yeah. >> it used to be when i was growing up you get a little instamatic. you take the picture. they all work the same. now there must be 50 cameras and phones. none of them takes a normal -- you stand there and you smile for 15 seconds. then just when you think you've taken it you move away and then

the picture goes off. >> it's the double flash. the first flash happens and you leave. >> somebody has got to invent a better camera and it has to be universal. >> by the way, your phone was well represented at that event. the old-fashioned -- they were all like flip phones. let's take a picture. it was the kind you open like kath and push the button in the middle. >> we were trying to take pictures with everybody. i swear half of them came up to us afterwards and said it didn't take. it was awful. my eyes were closed. my books didn't look good. so you take another one. anyway, you guys, we're not complaining. we thank you for coming with us. i love my hoda. are you sure you're going to do that two more times? >> we are i doing it again. >> we are having a better day than tom cruise is. >> he is suing two magazines, "life and style" and "in touch." >> the publisher. >> he's suing them for 50 million bucks for cruel and reckless statements. he's very, very upset that these

two magazines had headlines that read things like "suri in tears abandoned by her dad." and when it comes to -- i'm sure people have said a lot of things about tom cruise over the years. and he doesn't sue -- i don't know if he's ever sued. >> you pick your fights absolutely. >> this one bothered him. >> his lawyer says that this picture of suri crying was over a puppy. the magazine made it look like she was crying over her dad. who knows what the truth is? but it is true. we've sued a couple of times. never anything they said about me or frank. it was something they had written that was completely untrue about our children. we had a settlement which i was very happy with. it wasn't money i was after it was protection for our kids. >> sure. >> so you do pick your fights. when it hits you where you live in terms of your integrity, he probably thinks the one thing you don't mess with is me being a dad. >> he did say if he won that lawsuit he was going to give all the money to charity. >> i don't even know what it costs now to sue somebody like that. but back then it was like half a

million dollars 15 years ago to do it. it must be like $1 million to bring a suit. >> to bring a lawsuit. >> you got to be really willing to spend that kind of money. >> have you ever written an e-mail about someone that maybe wasn't kind and instead of sending it to the friend you wanted to you accidentally sent it to the person you were talking about? >> one more thing that's never happened to me because i don't do e-mail. >> i've done that. a friend of mine and i were in a news room. we could see each other over the computer tops and we were top of the lining hit quickie e-mails, talking about someone there who you would not have liked either. as we're writingt we're hitting it and hitting it and it goes to the person. oh, my gosh. eyes darting. she's staring at me. we go get the i.t. guy. we're on a full on panic. not in the news room yet. walking around. >> it's a movie. >> please god. i go, you don't understand. he went in. i think i can get it.

he ended up being able to delete those quick messages and she wasn't able to see them. i learned my lesson. >> what did you say? >> i'm not repeating but it wasn't nice. this couple in the u.k. was planning a wedding at a swanky place. >> like a five star restaurant. >> here is the bride. she is a substance abuse counselor he is an engineer with the ministry of defense. >> he does have a past. >> they want to get married. >> he had a background in the porn industry that might be part of the story, hoda. i'm just saying this might be part of the region they had deciding what they decided. >> here is what happened. the wedding planner sent an e-mail to her manager. here is what it read. "michelle seems lovely, i know this probably doesn't sound very nice, but i'm trying to put this wedding off as i don't think they're the type of people we would want to have at stoke park" and then she cc'd the bride accidentally. >> the wedding planner was disciplined and the hotel apologized profusely.

they should give them a free honeymoon i guess. the couple decided to throw the wedding someplace else. >> where they are wanted and their money. >> exactly. but i think talking about what the man's past was about is probably had something to do with their -- >> they hired him at ministry of defense or wherever he works. >> which makes you wonder. >> the woman's past. >> the bride. definitely the bride. >> now she's a counselor. she turned it around. >> i'm all for second chances. i think they probably found that out and used that in their reasoning. this isn't something we would do. >> ever. okay. so what songs turn you on and make you want to go to poughkeepsie? >> spotify asked 2,000 people questions. here is the song they say best gets you in the mood. it is by marvin gaye. come on. ♪ when i get that feeling i want

many times on our show hoda shared her story and thoughts as a breast cancer survivor. today is a monumental moment. it's been five years since there's been any evidence of cancer. so let's take you back to 2007 when hoda was first diagnosed and treated. >> okay. now we're rolling. in exactly one week from today

at this exact moment, i will be laid out. in a week i'm going to have my surgery. my mastectomy. >> you're watching a video diary hoda kotb never imagined she would make. >> today was not a good day. >> not in her wildest dreams. >> it is the weakness in all of us to think we are invincible until we realize we are not. >> i just assumed i'm pretty healthy. i have my act together. it's not going to be me. it's going to be somebody else, not me. >> the phone call came last february as she was talking to an nbc intern in her office. just days before her doctor had found three lumps in her left breast and now suddenly a hospital was on the line. >> he said it's cancer. you have breast cancer. everything else he said, ann, i didn't hear. i didn't hear what he said. you have breast cancer. that was it. that was it.

this intern, i won't forget, she was looking at me and she goes, should i leave? and i said, yeah. and she said, can i hug you? i said, yeah. she didn't even know what was going on so she hugged me. a kid. a kid. i don't even remember her name but i won't forget what she did. god, i needed it. >> many more hugs came from friends and colleagues, and most importantly from hoda's mom sami and sister hola who rushed to new york to be by her side. >> when you think about your body and i don't think about mine often really, but suddenly i was forced to. i've never been that attached to my breasts. i don't really identify with -- that's not my thing. >> your hair's your thing. >> my hair's my thing. >> good afternoon. >> kotb. >> i only had one choice. you couldn't take out the lumps

without ruining the whole breast. you had to get rid of the whole thing. gives me the heaves just thinking about it. . what makes you shiver? >> i think knowing you're not going to be the same as you were. knowing when you look in the mirror, you're never going to be whole. pretty much ready for this thing to happen. according to mwatch it's a long time since we got here. here is my quote for the day, let's flush this toilet. i'm ready to go. hello. ready to go. forward. forward. forward. i wrote forward. the day i was diagnosed. get through things. get through it. forward. it's the best word. >> it's hopeful. >> right. it's hopeful. tomorrow, right? forward. >> not the cancer that makes you write forward, it's who you are. >> yes, yeah. you're right. i am glad it is over.

i'm so glad it's over. i'm just glad it is over, it is out of me. it is over. >> people ask me sometimes who my favorite people are to interview. you know what i always come back to? cancer survivors. >> why? >> cancer survivors know how to live. they know what they are not going to put up with any more. cancer survivors have clarity. >> what i get from this whole horrible ordeal i get you can't scare me. >> anyway, here with more on hoda's journey is dr. erin dupuis, as well as the director of breast surgery at nyu clinical cancer center. you found hoda's lump and you took off her breast and saved her life. the two of you. i love you ladies.

>> can i say thank you, by the way? because -- you know what? here's what's funny, it's been a long time since that, but when i look at you two you rarely get to see someone who saved your life. so thanks. i love you, too. >> because i was slack and lame early and i didn't do all the checking i went to erin like you guys at home do for a regular check-up. she said let me do a breast exam and said i feel something. i was like oh, no, you don't. that's a nothing. what made you tell me to go to check that? what was weird about the thing you felt? a lot of people have breasts that are dense.

>> or cystic. >> well, it was a couple of things. one, there were masses there. i don't take that lightly as a physician. a mass is a mass is a mass until you know exactly what it is. the other thing was my connection with you in the office and knowing that you have a lot going on in your life and that women like that don't always rush to get that mammogram and make that appointment right away. it's one thing that can get put off. it should never be put off. i said that to you. >> she said to me, i want you back here in a week or two with the results. i thought, oh, she is very pushy. erin dupuis. >> did you try to make excuses for her? >> that's what i do, i'm busy. when looking for a breast cancer surgeon, people have been through it or know someone who has, finding you was a gift from

god. you took my mom's hands right before the surgery and said you would take care of me. >> i'm glad to be part of the team. >> a lot of people don't -- look, you see so many people like me who are going through what i'm going through. if you were to say something to folks at home who are putting things off, what would be your message? >> people put things off like mammograms and other tests because they are fearful. the big fear is always what will happen if they find something. then i have to go down the rabbit hole and it's about the doctors and the medicine and the hospitals and the surgeries. that's not entirely untrue. there is truth to that, but, but, for the majority of women who go to get those mammograms and get those screening tests, when it turns out to be okay, the reassurance just takes away so much anxiety that by itself is tremendous positive. on the other hand, early

detection saves lives. that is not a question any more. and allows people to have less obnoxious treatment. >> you have to find a great surgeon that is a-1 number one like i did with freya. and like i did with dr. erin dupuis. so thank you again so much for coming. >> and for celebrating. >> thank you all so much. >> and bobbie thomas is all dressed up to celebrate. >> we are crazy about you. sara's got one on, too. >> we'll be right back. at cepacol we've heard people are going to extremes
