from nbc news. this is "today" with kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hey, everybody. we're so happy you're with us for thirsty thursday. it's a big kickoff for football. >> everyone around here is buzzing about something. >> football. september 4th. if you care. what is it? >> well, usually we get our notes every day, and in our notes they let us know who is going to be on the show. we read them, or you do. i go through whatever i do. for some reason there weren't a lot of notes. they said you're having a surprise as your first guest.

we forgot about it because it seemed like it was probably a nothing. now everybody is saying it's a great surprise. >> we don't know when we get it either. >> we know we don't have a first segment, so whoever or whatever it is must be in the beginning of the show. >> what do you want it to be? because there are good surprises, and i discovered in life, there are not some good surprises. you know what i'm saying? i don't want those. >> i think it can't be blake shelton because he is going to be with us -- >> he is coming in a couple of weeks. so it might be hugh jackman. >> you said that. but nobody thinks it is. >> oh. okay. >> whoever it is, it will be a letdown. no. i'm kidding. we're very, very excited. if you're out and about in central park on sunday -- >> it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. >> i'm going to be the grand marshal of the race for the cure. the komen race for the cure. it's a 5k. come to the park, 7:00 a.m. set your alarm, or not. >> that's usually well, well, well attended. actually, not just attended, but people that actually do it. >> i might actually try to do it.

>> all right, hoda woman. we want to send continued love out to joan rivers who i guess i've known her almost 30 years. love her to pieces. we've worked with her. >> yeah. >> done stuff with her, and just she's always delightful. the one thing you can never be in show business is boring. and that woman. she always, always, always got a reaction. so it's been one week. >> she was moved from icu and into another room, that's what her daughter says. so -- where she's being kept comfortable, was the quote from melissa. we send our love and prayers. >> continue to pray and send our love. >> right. we had a big debate here yesterday on the program, and we want to reveal the results. >> okay. >> apparently it was an unbelievable reaction, right? >> so we asked the question about toilet paper. do you like the roll to be open over or under? >> i thought it was a no brainer. under. everyone likes it under. under's easier. it's like the way it should be. you said over. >> unfolded nicely.

>> i said no. so we did a whole poll on facebook. i cannot even believe the results. i actually peeked because i was so excited to be right. do you know that 87% of the people said over? 87! 13% said under. kathie lee is right. >> well, there's no right or wrong -- >> yes, there is, 87%. >> i don't know. well, there is a reason. they said that people don't like it under because it hits the wall, and it's unsanitary. i don't know. somehow going like this they said -- >> the pros of over is it's easier to locate the end. especially if you have a nice dot on it, which i don't do the dots. and less chance of scraping your knuckles on the wall. who scrapes your knuckles when you -- what, are you a caveman? >> you are getting it with your paw. okay. they say under is better because it looks tidier, and there's less -- >> i don't think so. i don't like it hanging there like that. >> the less chance of a child or

pet or somebody pulling it and running havoc with it. >> i don't know why. you could still -- >> you could still. okay. anyway. we appreciate you. >> thank you for playing our game. >> remember to vote in november. if only we had people's response to our elections like we do to our toilet paper. >> this should be one of those -- you know how they have amendments or things on the ballot? that would be a good one. >> that would be a good one. now, hoda, we are here with chips and salsa and dip for a very good reason. >> it's football time, you guys. it starts tonight. green bay versus seattle right here on nbc. i can't believe football season is starting already. >> we want to thank zulily, the new sponsor of my podcast this week. >> what? >> with pat o'brien, by the way. >> terrific. >> a wonderful, wonderful writer you'd love named anthony destefphan destephano. i didn't know this was true until i looked on zulily, and they're helping us to celebrate with chips and salsa serving bowl.

>> anyway, the game is here, and the saints are playing on sunday against the falcons. that's huge. >> is it? are they big rivals? >> it's like the whole thing. it's like a smack-down drag-out. >> speaking of football, we love our "daily news." we have a column in it. we're in there again. i am taking umbrage. >> i know you are. >> yeah. they say who were the top ten giants of all time? >> of all time. >> it was a unanimous decision. >> unanimous. >> on the first one. because i wasn't on the board. >> yes. >> because we thought -- >> where is it? >> we thought it would be someone who we know here and love. >> and love. okay. here's what they said. giants among men. l.t. tops -- >> lawrence taylor. >> he was darn good, i agree. but frank is number six? >> frank gifford is number six? >> i don't think so. i know so. >> only person ever to play three positions like he did. go to the pro bowl eight times. >> look at him. >> comeback player of the year

after that hit. every knockdown. >> yeah. >> let's go back and relook at this issue. okay? >> we could just rearrange it. >> yeah. all right. >> this is interesting. there was a poll done of girls around the age of 21 years old by "cosmo" magazine. and we found this stat shocking. they said of those young girls that -- >> who read "cosmo." keep that in mind. >> right. nine out of ten of them have taken a nude photo of themselves. nine out of ten. >> does that sound about right? >> 90%. >> who over there has taken pictures of themselves, and i want honesty. >> okay. >> peter, our photographer has. >> nobody? >> one person. >> no? no. no. they're saying no. >> they want jobs. >> okay. nine out of ten. >> i mean, that's unbelievable. i wonder if -- you know how we always say if you take these kind of nude pictures or drunk pictures or whatever it's going to ruin your chance for a future, but i wonder if by the time these kids get older, so

many people have done that, it's not going to be that big a deal. i wonder. >> remember when there was a stigma and shame attached to lots of stuff that's all disappeared? >> what is everyone doing -- you're taking the naked picture for your boyfriend? that's the point? >> you are asking me who has never been naked in her entire life? >> i don't understand why -- they say of the girls who took the pictures, they say only 14% regretted it. it wasn't like you do it and think, oh, my gosh, i shouldn't have done that. 14% regretted it. the rest thought it was fine, which means that 14% of the pictures probably got out or something. >> not going to judge it, but it's hard to believe. hard to believe, hoda woman. you've taken risque ones you admitted, in "the daily news." >> risque for me. you know? you know, i'm covered up most of the time. i'm embarrassed about being exposed. >> fantastic, fabulous? you're embarrassed about being fabulous? >> being exposed. this is a great piece of videotape. there was a 7-week-old baby boy
