good morning, live from new york it's donald trump. he hosts saturday night live poking fun at himself and his controversy around his immigration comments. >> who is that? >> trump is a ray sis. >> and ben carson in an exclusive nbc news interview bashes the media. >> fbi on the case. >> the feds at the request of the russians stepping in to help

investigate weather that crash was a terrorist attack. we're live in egypt. greg hardy takes to twitter overnight apologized after pictures of his battered ex-girlfriend were posted only. while jason pierre paul gets set to take the field today months after he mangled his fan in a fireworks accident. a bizarre light in the sky sparks social media.

>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today," live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to "today" on this sunday morning. i'm sheinelle jones. >> i'm craig melvin alongside kristen welker and dylan dreyer. maybe it was not a streak in the sky but it was al roker. he's in spokane, washington, day three of rokerthon. has a huge crowd with him. we'll check in with him in a bit. >> let's get to the top story. donald trump on "saturday night live." it was an electric scene here in the 30 rock overnight, as presidential front runner donald trump took to the stage. protesters took to the streets outside the famed studio. that's where nbc's kristen dahlgren is this morning. >> between 250 and 300 protesters joined in the march last yesterday. one group offered $5,000 to any audience member who would disrupt the show. the show went off with any problems. it didn't ignore the protest. >> reporter: surrounded by trump impersonators, donald trump played the bounty for laughs. >> we're going to have a lot of fun together.

>> trump's is racist. >> it's larry david. what are you doing, larry? >> i heard if i yelled that, they'd give me $5,000. >> as a businessman, i can fully respect that. >> racism has got to go. >> reporter: outside, the protesters were in no mood for jokes. >> they're bringing drugs, crime, they're rapist. >> reporter: after those remarks, trump's beauty pageants were cancelled and he was told he was not welcome back to "the apprentice." >> for "saturday night live" to make fun of that, it's shameful. >> reporter: the show answered its critics with satire. >> how like the people outside are chanting dump trump, but they mean, what are his ideas on health care? >> reporter: the cast imagined a trump presidency two years on. >> like i promised. >> prosperity is at an all-time high.

>> everybody is happy? >> they're so happy, mr. president. >> if you think that's how it'll be when i'm president, you're wrong. it's going to be even better. >> reporter: the host of "snl" is usually asked to get out of his comfort zone. >> listen to this, dave. >> enjoy my tweets. >> used to call me on the cell phone. >> reporter: it remains to be seen who gets the last laugh. >> i won't watch "snl" anymore. >> reporter: the kind of anger that could spell trouble for nbc. >> reporter: donald trump was welcomed back, at least for one saturday night. >> one other controversy with trump hosting is will the other candidates now ask for equal time on "snl." it ended up being about 12 minutes he was actually on camera, but we'll have to see if others are going to ask. >> we'll see. thank you. meanwhile, donald trump's main rival, dr. ben carson, facing questions about his past. he opened up to nbc in an

exclusive interview in the scrutiny he calls a witch hunt. >> ben carson is learning with front runner status comes scrutiny, in particular, from his rise in the inner city to the top of the medical world. as the questions about the biographical details pile up, so does the cash. >> reporter: ben carson coming off a week when his campaign raised $3.5 million says he has the media to thank. >> the people are seeing through what's going on and getting fired up. it's almost an us versus them thing. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview, he talked about whether he was offered a scholarship to west point, and about violence in his past. during a riot at his high school in 1968, he protected white students from the attacks by

hiding them. the story couldn't be confirmed with a half dozen of mr. carson's students and teacher. >> why would they know about it, unless they were one of the students? >> it doesn't surprise you that no one in any of these stories has come forward? >> maybe one of the students will come forward. >> reporter: carson calls the scrutiny a witch hunt, unlike anything any former president has faced. >> i have not seen that with anyone else. not even close. >> what do you think is going on? why you? >> because i'm a threat. >> reporter: a big threat, he says, to hillary clinton and the secular progressive movement. along with all the new scrutiny comes a bigger press core, with foreign reporters in the mix. one british newspaper describes carson's home as a temple to

himself, including the painting of the candidate with jesus. >> ben carson expects many more questions and he'll get some tuesday at the next republican debate. he says he's scheduled a half a day of prep, adding, life is preparation. you can see much more of my interview with ben carson today on "meet the press." >> thank you. chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press." good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's stay with ben carson. he's shifted blame to the media. does it look like they'll be able to shake off these questions about his past? >> i don't know. i say this because his candidacy is built on his personal story, his personal success, his honest and trustworthiness. if it starts coming apart, if the personal story isn't what he has said that it is, in some form or another, then it can unravel more than it would for a traditional politician.

sheinelle, we're conditioned to assume regular politicians embellish things. ben carson was supposed to be different. that's why, i think, it's more of a danger to him than it would be, frankly, to anybody else in the field, simply because of how his candidacy has been built and why so many voters have been gravitating toward him. it's the honesty factor that has been his strength. >> one year out from the election. we'll look where this race was four years ago. we dusted off a poll. i'm sure you're familiar with this one. this is where we were in 2011. you can see right there, herman cain surging. newt gingrich, surging. a lot of uncertainty then. what's different about the uncertainty this time around? >> notice who you didn't point out in there. the eventual nominee was on top of the polls at that time. mitt romney was always in first or second.

this time, you know, if you don't believe donald trump or ben carson is going to be the nominee, then who is? i think it's a lot more volatile than it was four years ago. i think the potential for a donald trump or a ben carson to be the nominee is higher today than it ever has been before. is it possible that the republican party suddenly decides to sort itself out a little bit and goes to a little more of a traditional way, and maybe it's jeb bush, maybe marco rubio, but i don't think so. i think when you look at the different things that have happened, craig, in kentucky this week, an outsider candidate, who republicans said was unelectable, guess what? they have a new republican governor. he's not unelectable and won by ten points. i think a lot of conservative voters believe they don't have to settle this time. i think it means we are in for a long ride. i think it's going to be twists and turns. pop the popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. >> we will do it, my friend. >> chuck todd, thank you. we'll see you in a bit on "meet the press," where you'll have donald trump, bernie sanders and

carly fiorina. the investigation into the russian plane crash over egypt. the question about whether bags were properly checked before the doomed flight. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely is in sharm el sheikh this morning. >> good morning. this investigation is now focused on the final second of the cockpit voice recording and the noise that points to an explosion. its sound waves may help unlock this mystery. as you say, the fbi the getting involved. >> reporter: it's not unusual for the fbi to be asked to help in a disaster. it is unusual for the russians to ask, and the fbi said yes. a spokesman said its role will be modest. russians teams have taken away 15 sacks of sand from the site. according to egypt, human remains for analysis. they're looking for evidence of a bomb. >> the number one most important

thing is testing the residue of the airliner to try to see whether there's any kind of traces of explosives. >> reporter: investigators now know the time after takeoff when disaster struck. >> 23 minutes and 14 seconds. >> reporter: at that moment, the cvr, something extraordinary. >> a noise was heard in the last seconds of the recording. >> reporter: every fraction of that sudden noise will not be analyzed and compared with the sound of other crashes. investigators have found the plane's auto pilot was on, suggesting the crew felt everything was normal, until that moment. some parts of the wreckage, they said, are still missing. they suggested that even a passenger's lithium batteries could have caused this. they're also examining reports that a baggage scanning machine was often broken, that baggage handlers weren't monitored, and

deliveries to the airport weren't properly searched. 11,000 russian tourists have been evacuated from the airport in one day. it'll take nearly a week to get them all out. in st. petersburg, the church bells tolled for every victim, 224 times. >> here, the search goes on for the missing parts of the plane, bad weather hampering the search. it is now day eight. some new clues, but still, craig, no solid answers. >> bill neely for us in egypt. bill, thank you. in louisiana, investigators are now looking at 911 calls connected to the chase that led to the shooting death of a 6-year-old boy last week. two police officers are charged with killing the boy, who was sitting in the front seat of his dad's car. now, there are reports the deadly encounter may have started with a 911 call about a bar fight involving the boy's father. nbc's gabe gutierrez is on the scene.

good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. the two officers are being held here without bail. the chase reportedly started after the father got into an argument with his girlfriend at a local pool hall, and someone called 911. exactly what happened next is unclear. today, we're hearing more about the young life cut short. >> hi, jeremy. >> reporter: this morning, friends and family are remembering 6-year-old jeremy. >> heart wrenching. your heart is burning. you don't know how to feel. >> reporter: miranda was his babysitter for four years. he was autistic and full of life. >> he was the best kid you could ever think of having around you.

for a child to be so loving, it was amazing and the most wonderful feeling you could have ever experienced. >> reporter: on tuesday night, jeremy was buckled into the front seat of his father's suv when he was shot five times and killed following a police chase in louisiana. >> this is a wounded community. there are wounded families out there. >> reporter: officers stafford and greenhouse jr. have been arrested and are facing charges of second degree murder and attempted murder. the boy's father was injured during the shooting and remains hospitalized in serious condition. stafford and greenhouse work for the marksville police department but they were working side jobs. investigators won't reveal exactly what led to the pursuit or what triggered the shooting. initially, the local coroner said the officers had been serving a warrant. state police say that wasn't the case. there was no exchange of gunfire, they say, and no weapon was found inside the suv. video from an officer's body camera hasn't been released publicly, but the head of the louisiana state police called it extremely disturbing and said it led to the arrest. >> this is a complex case, a lot of moving parts. >> reporter: they expect to have

more forensic reports by midweek. >> jeremy and his father had moved to louisiana in the past year. the visitation is scheduled for later today in mississippi. his funeral is set for tomorrow. >> so sad. gabe, thank you. kristen welker is here with more on the streak of light out west that got folks rattled. >> it looked like something out of the movies. we begin with the bright light over the california sky, which sent residents into an absolute panic. social media lit up and police were inundated with calls, claiming it was a ufo, a comet or explosion. the light was from the test firing of a missile by the navy. high temperatures took their toll on runners at the rock and roll marathon in savannah, georgia. one person died following the race, as the mercury soared into the 80s. for a time, conditions were so

dangerous, coordinators actually moved runners to shorter routes. in australia, a daring rescue to remove climbers from a dangerous situation. take a look. two men ended up clinging to a narrow ledge over a 160 foot drop to the sea. it started when one of the climbers fell off what is called wedding cake rock. his friend got stuck while trying to reach him. it took crews several hours to figure out how to get the men off the cliff before they were lifted to safety. we have amazing pictures of a huge sink hole in mississippi. residents say they heard cracking as the earth opened up. the parking lot sink hole expanded to 50 feet as it swallowed 15 cars. huge, gaping hole there. at the university of missouri, the teammates are staging a protest. the athletes of color are refusing to play ball. it's the latest in a string of demonstrations over wolf's response to racially-charged

campus incidents. they say the president isn't taking their concerns seriously. check this out. this could be an unwelcome mat. one man in florida found a huge alligator on his front steps. animal rescue had to be called in to rope the unwelcomed visitor. i'd have to call the ambulance, as well. finally, a long, lost guitar has a new own they are morning. this gibson is said to have been used by john lennon to write some of the hits by the beetles. it disappeared after a concert and reappeared when a resident checked out a guitar. this piece of music history sold for 2 -- $2.4 million. it is john lennon, the one and only. >> $2.4 million.

wow. turning to the weather, what are we looking at? >> if your in the middle of the country, you have a gorgeous day. if you're in the southeast or northwest, that's where we have stormy weather. let's focus on the southeast, rain moving through the panhandle of florida. that'll stretch to alabama and georgia, where the ground is saturated. that could lead to isolated flash flooding. as we go through the day, it's a fairly quick-moving system. we'll clear out through tonight by florida. it lingers through south carolina and north carolina as we go through the day on monday. it's definitely a wash out for most of north carolina. we could end up with heavier pockets of rain. three inches near tallahassee. up into wilmington, north carolina.
