from nbc news, this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> hello, everybody. it is thirsty thursday, march 20th. and yes, don't adjust your sets, this is real. finally, the first day of spring! officially today, at 12:57 across the whole country. >> i'm so happy. now, i have to say, i woke up this morning, it was still like 39 degrees, but so what. >> and drizzly and not great.

>> things are going to turn around. >> when is it coming? >> i'll tell you how things will turn around. you said matt will never shave and i said, yes, he will. >> i've been dying for him to shave. >> first day of spring. people had very, very distinct opinions on the subject. >> look closely at the two photos. the bearded one and the other one. >> the sigmund freud and the one on the right is matt. >> we decided to put a poll out to ask our viewers, how do you think -- which way did matt look best, with the beard or without. >> you voted -- >> i think that it will be overwhelming, overwhelming without the beard. nobody liked the beard. >> a lot of people liked the beard. i think it is going to be 52/48, clean shaven 52%. >> no, let's see. 78% said they liked him better clean shaven. he said he might grow that thing back again. next year. >> that's relate really very, very disrespectful. calling it a thing. >> congrats to matt. >> yes. matt is still mad at hoda.

i don't want to bring it up, but it is a funny story. tell it. >> okay. we were at the hotel in phoenix for savannah's wedding, and the hotel is an hour and 45 minutes from the airport. >> you were in tucson. right? basically around tucson. >> right. so we leave the hotel, 5:30 in the morning, guy's downstairs with the car. i said hi, i'm hoda. he goes, i know, come on. we're with my friend. he and i hop in the car and we drive the hour and 45 minutes to the airport. >> great. >> so we're there, and all of a sudden, unbeknownst to me, five minutes later, matt comes downstairs for his car. and they say, your car's not here. he says, where is it? and there's a car with my name on it. and he said is hoda still here? and they said yeah, she's still here. she hasn't come down. he waited for an hour and they wouldn't let him in my car and i was already gone in his car. >> and almost to the airport. >> almost to the airport. so we hopped in a rental car with jake tapper from cnn and had to drive an hour and 45

minutes with him and his wife all the way to the airport. and so -- >> then you get to the airport. >> i see matt -- >> but before that. >> oh. then he had to drop the rental car off and almost didn't make it to the flight. >> i love this story. >> so i'm waiting in line at the airport for the plane, and i see matt. he goes hi, you stole my car. i didn't know what he was talking -- it is day seven of the feud. stop hating me. i took the wrong car. i apologize. >> it wasn't your fault. it was the car driver. >> i sent him a toy car to his house. >> didn't work. >> still not over it. >> i love it. i love a good feud. "wheel of fortune" apparently -- i forgot how many years pat sajak's been doing that show with vanna. but apparently, they've never seen anything quite like this. a guy named emill made it to the final round. >> it is a thing. you're a good puzzle solver but i don't know. you have ten seconds. keep talking, maybe the right thing will pop out.

>> it's got to be new. >> new lace dress. >> new year -- >> new lace dress. >> new. >> maybe not even -- net. >> net gains. >> we don't know. >> so the other letters, can't even see that part. no other letters. >> e. >> it is a thing. >> it's a thing. >> yes. >> net gain. net -- new. new lace. >> there is a w there. >> she didn't pick it. >> i can't see. i'm sorry. >> what's the answer? >> what is the answer. >> let's go. >> new baby buggy. new baby -- new baby -- >> what? [ cheers and applause ] >> put your hands up. >> wait a minute, you got to be wired for something.

you got to be cheating. he's teasing the guy. >> new baby buggy. that doesn't even make any sense. >> well, there are old ones too. but i mean, i couldn't -- who could know -- >> new baby buggy. >> how much money did he win? >> $43,000? $45,000. >> well, good for him. he looked as shocked as pat did. he was like i can't believe i got that. maybe he just got a new baby buggy and it was fresh on his mind. >> who says buggy anymore? do they? baby buggy. >> i bet savannah does. she's thinking that way. >> i thought it was -- all right, whatever. >> boogie. a baby's boogie. >> no. stroller. who says buggy? people say buggy? >> yes. a baby buggy. anyway, this actress is shocking some people. at the "divergent" premiere. >> this is one of those things. she's an actress in "divergent" and she decided she was going to wear this dress. >> or part of it. >> okay. >> anyway, she's 34 years old. >> maggie chu. >> when she showed up in that dress, she stole the premiere, basically. everyone was focusing on her and not on the other stars in that movie. >> yeah.

>> she has a smaller role apparently. this is sort of like "twilight." several books. three books, i think. it's a trilogy. and she gains -- her character gets bigger as the books continue. however, hoda thought it was just outright mean to take anything away from shailene woodley, who's the real star. >> i guess -- look, i think it's -- look. i think it's a little weird. >> yeah. well, you took matt's car. so, i mean, you know. you're one to judge. >> it's a little weird. sometimes when you know that it is somebody else's movie, and you're in it, but not a main character yet, she's building, and then suddenly on the front of every website, every paper, is the other girl and not the main character. >> i don't know. i don't know -- we love to know how you all feel. i've been in a couple of movies. i stole "first wives club." >> what if you would have worn the short dress to "the first

wives club" and goldie hawn, when it's her movie, would have looked over and said, oh, my god, you got every headline and it's my movie. >> so sad. no, goldie, goldie would have said awesome dress. >> she would have. >> she would have. it depends on the person. maybe shailene is like that too. i've never had the kind of body that that girl has that she can -- maybe for two minutes in 1942. >> do you remember when i accidentally wore a white dress to bobbie's wedding? >> it wasn't accidental, hoda. no one accidentally goes to a wedding and forgets not to wear white. >> i'm just saying i didn't mean to steal anything -- >> not that bobbi should have been wearing it either, if you know what i'm saying. just saying. >> people were mad -- >> actually, nobody at that wedding had the right to wear it. >> people were saying what do you think you were doing taking away from her day? i wasn't taking away from her day, i just wore that dress. >> she doesn't take things away from people. unless it's matt. she takes his car. >> there is this deejay and he's -- they're known for doing pranks. they're known for doing pranks. usually really funny. they decided to do something much more touching.

there were people who either they believed were homeless or on the street or in need, and he decided to dress like a waiter going around l.a. and serving people -- >> a nice waiter from a fine restaurant. >> yeah. and find people who looked like they could use a good meal. let's take a look. >> how are you doing, sir? >> good. >> got some chicken, green beans, mac and cheese. fancy here. >> very nice. >> how's it going, sir? i've got your chicken plate right here. and some water. with everything you need. and if you need anything else, let me know, okay? >> okay. d.j. >> nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you too, man. >> i brought you some chicken. >> do i need to pay anyone? >> no, this is all you. >> i appreciate it. >> yeah.

>> awesome, man. i'm glad. >> oh, that's sweet. >> yeah. >> yeah. that was great. >> well, today is international happiness day, isn't it, hody? >> yeah. so we want to inspire everyone to go out and spread a little joy. and do hashtag happy something. >> happy act. it is time for our happy act. it's time for my ihoda playlist. this is a group that happens to have been on the show last week. this song put me in the mood for spring. it's called "hell, yeah." >> oh, yeah. >> remember them? >> oh, yeah. they were -- >> they were elvis's pick. fell in love with them. they performed on the show. >> i like this song. >> mid mid-night red. ♪ we rock the party we got it locked down ♪ ♪ call your friends so we can take this town ♪

because when you're angry and you know this, you're too apt to say something, you end up being sorry for it later. how many times have i told you? >> that's such a bore snore. here is the correct answer. of course it's okay. >> no. >> how else would we know there is a feud going on? >> hoda, think that through. >> pass the popcorn. >> we got to tell you guys, don't forget our brilliant -- >> they're getting better. >> in the daily news. >> every week they get better. >> yesterday we went to a fun lunch for our jo jo. >> joanne lamarkka. >> her birthday is coming up. she doesn't want to say which one. she likes to call it forever 31. >> we had a lovely lunch. >> there she is. >> aw. our girl. >> love her so much. and afterwards hoda and i went to see what i thought was an extremely funny show.
