2:06 am
she has exhausted every possible thing to do in and around the london area. the eyes of the world are on those two doors there. it's lindo wing. >> we'll always have a camera there. we believe that during the course of our hour, the hour from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., someone is going to walk out of that door with the birth announcement. >> i don't think that's going to happen. i think the rumor is the duchess is into a very, what's the nicest way to say it, a very natural -- there's midwives inside. she's going to let nature take its course. there's no royal pitocin happening to speed up this labor process. >> when your girlfriend -- you have two kids. >> yes. >> did the first birth come quickly or did it take a while? >> siri is a machine. that's jackson in the middle. >> how many do you have? >> two. the two in the middle there. >> you think i'm brad pitt? no, those are all the cousins. but the baby girl is my daughter
2:07 am
who is a year and then jackson. >> how long with the labor? >> fast, fast. it could happen. but she's norwegian. no problems. kid number two was -- >> what does that mean? >> i don't know, but the nurse was like, you are really good at this. you are really amazing. it was like, push and out. it could happen for kate. i think they'll let things play out. there was a report she was just seen walking up and down the hallway. >> that was nancy snyderman. she was just guessing. >> let gravity -- >> she didn't go in ambulance. she went by car with her husband. there wasn't a police escort. they got there. >> no horse and carriage? >> they weren't scrambling. >> how unroyal. >> what do you think it's going to be, a boy or girl? >> kate had early morning sickness early in the first trimester. i think that's the only
2:08 am
indicator. i'm going with boy. i hope it's a girl. >> i think it might be a girl. and what time? >> i hope in the next 20 minutes because i have sworn i'll take all these royal shots of royal crown as soon as there's a baby. i think at least another 8 to 10 hours. >> we're going to keep our eye on that royal door and again if the baby does come, we have crown royal and we're going to toast right here on our show. so how was your weekend? you are very busy. not often that you turn on "weekend today" on saturday and guess who pops up. >> friday i was in los angeles and i had to break it to my son, jackson, who is 4, that i haven't been away from for more than two nights. i jumped on a flight and got in at midnight. i'm here for five nights. there's me on the plane. i started drinking profusely. >> are those your feet? >> those are my flip flops.
2:09 am
>> and you got the middle row? >> sure. >> how fancy up front. >> you people fly me in 3d. normally i'm in back. it was crazy. hosting -- this is more my scene. i feel like i'm at a bar. there's wine. shots. i feel like there are people watching. >> not many. >> "weekend today" is that chair. i'm not a news reader by trade but it was super fun. that's a picture i took. about 6:30 in the morning i was with chris jansing. >> tara got in there. that's our floor manager. >> big help. but it was fun. i got to use matt lauer's office for the day which was crazy. i shut the door and secretly took this picture and sent it to my mom. i was look, i'm in matt lauer's office. i was going to tweet it. i thought, don't be a jerk. don't do that. that would be a big mistake. >> you know what a neat freak is? >> i went through his drawers
2:10 am
looking for money because i know how rich he is. i thought for sure that there would just be like some tens around like matt, like what's a quarter to us is like a $10 bill to matt lauer. when i was done -- he has a bathroom. you know you are powerful if there's an office and you have a bathroom to it. >> jimmy fallon, matt lauer. >> and savannah has a bathroom, too. >> that's powerful. al's got no bathroom. neither does natalie. >> so i was in l.a. in your neck of the woods. i went for a couple of meetings and some fun and i ran into, who else? kathie lee gifford. >> how was that? you two barely know each other. >> you are always together. >> it's a little weird. we had a fun dinner at the ivy
2:11 am
and i've been there once before with her. >> you really enjoy her company that much? >> i like her. >> it's amazing. i mean outside this show, you have -- you could have just said hi and left. >> we did the full on dinner. so i went up. i was staying at the peninsula hotel. i'm sitting by the pool at 9:00 in the morning. some guy who is probably in his 50s waiting for his wife is up there and up walks lebron james. >> no way. >> lebron james. >> that's amazing. >> he came with his fiancee and two kids. >> that's the photo you took of him? >> no. you know how bad i wanted to take a picture? here's what i was doing. here's my chair. i didn't want to ask like i felt embarrassed and i wanted to casually, so i was looking at my phone. i'm just going to do one of these. >> he knows that move, hoda. >> i couldn't do it. he had bodyguards around. >> let me see what's going on here. it was so obvious.
2:12 am
>> did you get a good shot? >> no, because the bodyguard was looking at me like, let's not play like that. >> he has feet this big. like he could have -- >> you know what that means? >> he's a good swimmer. what does that mean? >> that's exactly what that means. that means he special orders his socks. i'll say this. the real find, the real nugget in this wonderful peninsula story about you and lbj is that what was he doing in los angeles? may we speculate he was vetting coming to the los angeles lakers in a year, which is a rumor out there. if you found him in l.a., the sports world may see this and run with it. what was he doing in l.a.? >> his kids were doing cannonballs in the pool. >> that could be a nice space for him and the family to become a laker when he's a free agent in 2014. >> i'm ready to go now. i won't drink on the air, though, i promise. >> let's look at the royal door to make sure nothing has happened. >> we are on the air. >> someone is looking for directions. >> excuse me.
