♪ >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hey, everybody. it's fun-day monday. a little damp out there. june 10th. but, boy, it is fun-day on the plaza if you are about 12. for a lot of young women who are out there since saturday waiting for this young man. his name is austin mahone. >> it was really weird. a lot of people walking by heard the screams of the crowd and wondered who was generating all this commotion. and this is him. 17-year-old from austin, texas.

>> austin? >> austin. what? >> did you say he's from austin, texas. >> i think i did. so he's austin from austin. >> i like exactly what you said. here's the great thing. the kid put his stuff up on youtube and kept getting followers. >> the way bieber did it. >> and look what's happening. some are calling him the next bieber. he says he wants to be his own guy. >> of course he does. these days kids don't have to wait for somebody to find them. they've got the opportunity to go to social media and determine their own direction which is great. just met him downstairs. seems like a sweet kid. hope he stays that way. don't want to see him with his pants dragging around. he seems like a sweet kid. talented. >> it does kind of remind you when there's that moment where you see a performer and you go crazy you could scream. there are girls who are crying. they were freaking, sitting outside all weekend. >> did that ever happen to you? >> you know what's funny? we weren't allowed to go to concerts or anything. i came from a very strict kind of upbringing. there was none of that. i did listen to music and i

liked two different types of music. >> no kidding. who did you like? >> i loved the jacksons. because i knew every song. ♪ easy as 1, 2, 3 >> unbelievably talented. yep. >> and that would always get me. and then on the other side i had a big poster of barry manilow. >> who didn't? >> everybody did. i was a fanilow. >> you still are. >> but it does remind you of when you go oh, my god, i would do anything. >> you're going to die. >> first time i felt like that was, do you know desi and billy and i'm really, really dating myself, but -- that is not funny. he was the son of dean martin and just a gorgeous kid. and was tragically killed later -- years later. an air force pilot accident. but that's the first time i remember. when your hormones are raging, mine still are, but in a different way, not as much fun now. that's for sure.

you know, i do remember going to see a hard day's night and i thought -- i said to myself, i'll never be one of those girls that screams. >> and you did? >> everybody else is screaming. so, anyway -- >> and the beatles had that thing. all they had to do was step off a plane and the whole world exploded. >> that's right. >> but our point is it's awesome to have austin mahone with us. but this is nothing new under the sun. i'm sure in cave man days during that -- there was a little guy with a cute face who could sing a good tune. all the little cave girls were going, aaah! >> last night, big awards night. the tonys were last night. neil patrick harris always hits it out of -- >> the quintessential host any >> host of any ceremony. he just has a way of nailing it. he should do the oscars, i think. >> he might as well do the oscars as well. >> he definitely's got it. >> he was terrific. we want to wish all the best

congratulations to everybody that was there. nominated and winners. >> yes. "kinky boots" was the big winner last night. they took home six of them. big ones. and cyndi lauper won for her score. anyway, it was -- that one took it. pippen did well, too. >> we knew it would. >> you know what surprised me? steven van zandt came out. a whole musical number. i'd never heard of the show. >> what was it? >> i had never heard of it. all of a sudden i'm going, how did we miss that? we were going to everything. but it was lovely when 88-year-old cicilee won. best actress for a trip to bountiful. we haven't seen that yet, but she took her time getting up and being elegant and she was lovely. from what i hear, spectacular performance. to think she's doing -- she's 88 doing that eight times a week is amazing. she looks amazing.

regal. >> stunning. she waited gingerly. someone helped her up. i said i hope someone is going to help her up. >> she was -- she was absolutely lovely. >> and a big surprise was that tom hanks did not win. >> i couldn't believe it. >> "who is afraid of virginia woolf." sort of swept. >> we should also -- we should point out carolee carmelo was nominated from "scandalous." one of our local reporters was on the red carpet and talked to carolee. >> she was there with her daughter zoe. i didn't know that. >> the idea that i'm standing here is so satisfying because i worked on this project with kathie lee for about seven years. and i never thought we would get to broadway, let alone the tony awards. oh, my god, kath, i love you so much. i wish you were standing here with me. i wouldn't be here if it weren't for you, and you know that, a adore you. >> thank you. that's so sweet. same back at her. she looked beautiful, didn't she? >> she sure did. >> and her daughter zoe was with her. i was very, very proud of her. >> you want more vacation time?

>> yes! >> you'll have to buy it. >> this is weird. >> i think it's kind of smart. >> so some offices are doing this thing where if you want more vacation time than you have and you want one more week you can actually pay your company bosses and say i'll give you this money. give me the time. >> you take your salary and you divide it by 36 -- how many working days you do. that determines how much you actually are paid per day for your job and then you say, look. i want two days off and i want them next week. here's the money. here's 20 bucks. >> that's kind of cool. i like that. >> they can do it the other way as well. if you don't take vacation and you are like, i'd rather work, i'm going to get that money. it's a cool idea. >> by the time i left the show with regis, i had ten weeks of vacation. i never wanted raises. i just wanted time with my kids. we just took the money, baby. now i wish i had. my children don't speak to me. they don't want to go on vacation with me. why did i spend so much time on them? i don't know.

>> somebody else did. >> figuring out the dna and taking it to the owner's house in a bag and putting it back on their doorstep. >> or they'd mail it to them. they'd find out their address and mail it to them. and you know what? it's working. they've spotted it happening. they find out where the people lived. mail it to them and errant poo is down 70% in spain. it's a good thing because their economy is not doing well so they have some great news. less poop. >> they would see it happen and go talk to a neighbor. they did a lot of secret -- >> it is the rudest thing in the world. it just is. >> i want to give a quick shout out to a friend of mine. >> sorry, no time today. >> there was a guy in the hospital. he's a friend of mine, named frank davis. he is a quintessential new orleans tv personality. >> look how cute he is. >> he's a chef.

chronic illnesses. by the age of 34, i was also obese. but established in my acting career. i had a resume with five broadway shows and i even played mrs. claus in the radio city christmas spectacular. but i was miserable. my health was continually declining and each time i stepped on to a broadway stage, i wondered, is this the night they cart me out of here in an ambulance? finally, i woke up and i got to work. i made small, fun, gentle changes to my everyday patterns and 2 1/2 years later, i was down 100 pounds. but the real story here is that i have successfully kept the weight off for over five years. not only that, i have reversed all of my previous health problems, too. i was chronically ill for over 25 years, but now, i haven't been sick in over four years. even better than that? i found my new passion. i'm now a health coach.
