"everybody loves raymond's" co-star doris roberts. we'll celebrate the emmy winner today, tuesday, april 19th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on this tuesday morning. everybody loves doris roberts. >> she made me smile. the mom who never had an unspoken thought on "everybody loves raymond." we'll talk more about her life and career later in the show. we're going to start in houston where a state of

emergency is in effect at this hour as the city deals with massive flooding from torrential rain. nbc's janet shamlian is there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this was historic rain. as much as 17 inches of it in just a short period of time. the death toll stands at five people. all of those deaths came from people that were in vehicles that drove into high water. the concern is there's more rain in the forecast and that gives houston the possibility of more flooding. this morning, a city submerged by historic flooding. 17 inches in a matter of hours. there's more on the way. >> the biggest mistake anybody can make is to assume the worst has passed. >> reporter: it ambushed the region in the overnight hour. >> two hours later, it was in the house up to the ankle. two hours after that, it's up to the knee. we left. >> reporter: schools announced they were closing. 100 neighborhoods flooded. a million students stayed home.

so did almost everyone. public transit shut down. the roads all but impassable. yet, some chose to try. >> leave the car. swim. >> reporter: this driver rescued live on the air in houston by a reporter for ktrk. >> what if you call in? >> reporter: this mom and dad waded through the rising water with their newborn daughter. harrowing just in time rescues like this one. firefighters couldn't keep up delivering 1,200 people to safety. just as many were waiting. >> they have four feet of water in their house and everybody is ruined. >> reporter: tommy borrowed a boat to rescue his parents. nine texas counties are now disaster areas including one neighborhood that was hit by floodwaters less than a year ago. most of the homes you see here are still being repaired or are being completely rebuilt. boat loads in the city. outside the city, rescuers braved dangerous conditions to

save 70 horses. it's the most widespread flooding since tropical storm alison 15 years ago, and forecasters say it's not over yet. an epic flood, a fatigued city and a fear of what's ahead. as you can see from this vantage point, the bayous are still swollen here. any amount of precipitation here could trigger more flooding. the roads in some areas are still closed. houston schools have canceled classes for a second day. houston is trying to clean up. matt and savannah, back to you. >> janet said the fear of what's ahead. what is ahead for the folks? >> unfortunately, more rain. a significant amount of rain. in the normal course of things, this amount of rain wouldn't cause problems because it's already flooding. you can see the areas in the red diamonds. that's where major flooding is occurring now. on the radar, not much showing up, but our models are showing

we will be looking at rain developing again today. flash flood watches, scattered storms, saturated ground from the really historic rain. moisture coming in off the gulf. it'll fire up more storms during the afternoon into the evening and on into tomorrow. more heavy showers and thunderstorms setting up right over houston. just to the east, it'll continue to cause problems. rainfall amounts look to be anywhere from two to three inches. locally, we could see higher amounts of up to six inches of rain, guys. hourly rain rates of one to two inches. the rainfall alone for harris county since this event would have -- the same amount of rain would have flowed over niagara falls over 88 days. >> wow. >> it's a ton of rain. >> put it in perspective. thanks so much. the eyes of the political world are focused on new york today. it's finally voting day here. hillary clinton and donald trump hoping for big wins on their turf.

we've got complete coverage this morning with peter alexander. he's on the republicans this morning. hey, peter. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. just now donald trump arriving at a polling station here in new york city. not far from his trump tower home. arriving there alone today. earlier leaving trump tower. he's looking for a resounding win in the state with 95 delegates at stake to improve his path to the nomination. >> reporter: donald trump rallying his home state crowd. his last stop, buffalo. >> we are going to bring buffalo back. we're going to bring new york back. and we're going to bring the united states of america back. >> reporter: despite the home field advantage, introduced by bills head coach rex ryan, another raucous affair. protesters refusing to leave, dragged out by security. the front runner unphased. >> there is no place that's better, more fun or safer than a

trump rally. >> reporter: later, bungling a reference to 9/11. >> i watched our police and firemen in 7/11, down at the world trade center after it came down. >> reporter: ted cruz already looking past new york to next week's primaries in the northeast and mid-atlantic, comparing his rival to walter mondale, buried by reagan's landslide in 1984. >> hillary is beating trump in utah. if the republican cannot carry bright red utah, we're looking at a walter mondale level blood bath across the country. >> new evidence this morning that donald trump is gearing up for the months ahead. an extensive reorganization of his campaign team from a small band of loyalists, to a much larger team of seasoned pros. he's dipping deeper into his billions, expected to spend some $20 million for advertising in big states in the months ahead. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. both hillary clinton and

bernie sanders are sounding confident about today's vote, as their campaigns continue to take shots at each other. andrea mitchell is following the democrats for us. good morning. >> morning to you. new yorkers say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. only one of these two democratic candidates for president can win here today. >> reporter: against the backdrop of new york skyline, bernie sanders. >> are you ready for this? >> yeah. >> all right. >> reporter: boasting new york-sized confidence. >> for a political revolution. let's do it. >> reporter: drawing huge crowds across the city. this morning hillary clinton accompanied by husband bill casting her vote at the polls in chappaqua. having made this bold assertion last night. >> i'm hoping to wrap up the nomination. >> reporter: the sanders campaign accusing clinton and the democratic national committee of conspiring to funnel money to clinton's campaign. >> they want to change the rules but the rules have not been changed.

you have to follow the rules. >> clinton's campaign manager accusing sanders of poisoning the well for democratic candidates up and down the ticket. one measure of how sour the campaign has become. another sign, jane sanders complaining on sirius xm radio. >> the clinton campaign has been a lot more undermining than we had ever seen before. >> bernie sanders has been predicting victory in new york, but he is behind according to the polls in new york by double digits. still, on this wave of huge crowds and enormous online fundraising, he sees no reason to stop any time soon. matt and savannah. >> andrea mitchell, thank you very much. we have chuck todd, nbc's political director and moderator of "meet the press." here in the flesh this morning. >> happy new york primary day. >> before we get to your math, let's talk about the polls because both seem to be showing rather commanding leads by trump

and clinton. any reason to doubt that? >> really not. because of the fact that these are only open to registered republicans or democrats. because of that, when you don't have the independent voter factor, it's easier to poll. i will be surprised if the are wrong. most of the time when they're wrong, it's when you're unsure of that independent number and which party they may vote in. >> out on that limb, let's talk about the gop side. if donald trump wins and has a convincing win, what's it going to mean to the delegate count? >> we are assuming the big win, 85 of the 95 delegates. it gets him almost to a 300-pledged delegate lead over ted cruz. a little reminder, the top three candidates, one is not running when it comes to delegates. john kasich is the guy we're going to be asking ourselves, should he be -- what is he doing? why didn't he do better after tonight? it should put him here. then for trump, the following week, he could sweep these five states. pennsylvania, maryland, delaware, connecticut and rhode island.

all of a sudden, he goes from needing 60% of remaining delegates now to 50% if he does as well as we think he'll do. then it'll come down as far as the republicans are concerned, to seeing if they can stop him in indiana a week later. if they do, we'll talk convention again. if trump wins indiana, glide path. >> you think he can get the nomination? >> if he pulls that off. >> let's talk about the democrats. bernie sanders was just here and suggests that he's still got a path. >> to his credit, he's been saying he's going to win new york. yes, he's got to win new york to have a rational path. this is combined superdelegates and the pledged delegates. even if you take out the supers, she has a double digit lead. where is sanders going to beat her in a state that changes the entire narrative of the race? this would be that kind of victory. i don't know if he's going to get it.

>> look forward to the same states. what are her prospects? >> very good. pennsylvania, she should win. connecticut is some place -- roker messed it up -- it's a place her husband lost in 1992. we'll see. she could win all five of those. same thing, where does sanders win? >> don't poke the bear. you have roker right behind you. >> i hear him. >> really? really? >> chuck, don't turn around. >> as if he hasn't attacked me before with the board, huh? >> come over here. we want to ask you about something else. we want to get your take on the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. when it comes to the candidates likability, 68% of all voters say they couldn't see themselves supporting donald trump. 61% say they couldn't back ted cruz. 58% say they couldn't see themselves supporting hillary clinton. the way i look at this, not only about the race for the nomination, one of these people will become president. how do they start to govern with that kind of negativity

surrounding them? >> this is what i've been throwing up my hands about. i don't know. the two most popular candidates are the two candidates that don't look like they have a shot, bernie sanders and john kasich. the most popular as far as the public is concerned. yet we'll probably pick between those three who more than a majority of the country, a strong majority of the country, dislikes. i think it'll be polarizing. makes it where you don't necessarily have a honeymoon. we've had lesser of two evil elections before, but this feels like it's going to be in the pits. i'll tell you, with numbers this bad, i've got to wonder, is a michael bloomberg rethinking, or somebody else? the public is begging for an alternative. the political system hasn't given them one. >> fascinating, chuck. thank you very much. donald trump will be here live for a town hall on the plaza this thursday morning here on "today." another major story, the search for survivors in the powerful earthquake in ecuador. overnight, more people were pulled from the rubble as the

death toll continues to climb. nbc's miguel almaguer has the latest. good morning to you. >> good morning. this is the devastating scene across so many communities here in ecuador. the desperate search for survivors continuing at this hour. it's believed some 32 people are trapped inside this building behind me, a shopping center, when the earthquake struck. overnight, the stakes are high. rescue teams losing time as they pick away at a mountain of concrete. witnesses say people are inside. earlier, not far away, a man in the rubble signals rescue teams. fragile but alive, two days after the quake. ecuador's president says there's still signs of life here, with children, even pets rescued every day. hospitals are filling fast, but so are cemeteries.

the 7.8 quake has left more than 400 dead, an american among those killed, and this canadian mother and son. video chatting with family when the tremor took their lives. in ecuador, so much loss. still, some hope. rescue teams tell us they haven't heard any cries for help from inside this building for several hours, but they say anyone who may be trapped inside would certainly be weak. they say they won't leave this area until they are certain there are no survivors left here. matt? >> miguel almaguer in ecuador on this story for us, thank you very much. overseas, the taliban is claiming responsibility for a bombing attack in afghanistan's capital. the blast in kabul was detonated by a suicide bomber in a car, and then gunmen stormed the area. it was in a residential neighborhood. at least 28 people have been killed. more than 300 others wounded. the bomb was so powerful, it

the wet weather to finally move to the east. showers are making their way on up into the great lakes. again, the coast will be spectacul spectacular. few showers in the pacific northwest. that's what's going on around the well, we have more sunshine in the forecast today as our temperatures are warming up already out there. it's now 60 degrees in san jose and 59 degrees in san francisco. 52 in napa. a look at those highs today. all of our microclimates expect a high of 86 degrees in los gatos today, san mateo 74, and out outer sunset, 72 degrees. you're coming back from 90s for some of the inland areas. fairfield today will still be warm, though, up to 87 degrees. 86 in union city and livermore 85. that's your latest weather. >> al, thank you so much. steve martin and edie brickell are combining their talents once again. the friends joined forces to record two albums, earning a grammy for their music.

now, they're collaborating for the broadway stage. new musical is called "bright star." set in the south during the '20s and '40s. at the center, a teen who experiences highs and lows as she becomes a literary editor. >> what an intro. nothing left for us to say. >> i got the resume high points. >> trying to think of one other thing you did. >> no "wild and crazy guy." >> that's in the past. >> i wasn't going to bring it up but you invited me to. really, you have the two records, the grammy. broadway musical had to be next. >> we realized when we were touring together with the steve canyon rangers, we'd travel on a bus and talk about how much we loved the musicals we grew up on. in my case, "west side story," "music man." >> i loved "the sound of music." >> and the great songs. we put our heads together, and

we feel our music is highly melodic, which is what those songs were. we gave it a shot. >> edie, this story was one that you had kind of googled, at least the start of the story, about a baby and a train. is that right? >> right. i was looking for the name of a train to write a song for one of our -- for our first record. i found the iron mountain. when you click on the iron mountain, it tells a story of the iron mountain baby. >> and the iron mountain is a train, you should say. >> it is a train. >> finish the story. actually, she discovered a news item from 1904 that is a true story. a baby was discovered in a suitcase that had been thrown from a train. the baby was alive. it was raised by a different family. they never figured out what happened. our musical approaches trying to solve that issue. it's a lot of fun and comedy and music and drama.

>> it's uplifting. >> and a great cast, by the way. very uplifting. i hate that it's uplifting. >> can't we get more downer stuff in here. >> right. >> love you on the banjo. we love bluegrass music. there's one bluegrassy number we'll hear next hour. it's not the bluegrass musical. >> people like to call it that, but bluegrass is a specific form with a very specific instrument. the fact that we use a banjo and mandolin and fiddle leads people to call it a bluegrass musical. it's really a broadway musical with the charm of those instruments, and the charm of bluegrass. >> edie, why does this collaboration work so well? you have this chemistry, but is it something you knew right away? >> i hoped so. i always admired steve's fun-loving spirit. i wanted to bring that out in myself, as well. i've been able to with our songwriting. >> it was essentially a whim that expanded into -- so eight

years of our lives. >> what happens when you get together? i mean, are you riffing on the banjo and she adds lyrics? how does the process work? >> because we live kind of far apart, we don't really meet. we work electronically. i use my phone and i record a tune. i send it off. she walks around with it in her head. i'm not speaking for you. i mean, i am. >> it's okay. >> comes up with these beautiful lyrics. that's way we work. >> we're excited. we have two members of the cast here. they're going to perform "whoa mama" in the next hour. >> that's not their street clothes. >> no? they're in costume, what? >> yeah. >> by the way, we were talking about what a good tweeter you are. i like what you tweeted yesterday. it may be hard for some of you to grasp that the "today" show is on tomorrow. i'm on the "today" show tomorrow, yet today. i'm on tomorrow. >> you have to read the capitals and when it's not.

>> there were misunderstandings. you said in the next tweet, i am banning those who don't understand that tomorrow is today. i love it. we'll see the song next hour. up next, who has the winning idea? we'll meet our first semifinalists toen a quest to become today's next big thing. >> i thought we were the next big thing. >> you are.

it's here. the time has finally arrived. for weeks, we've sorted through hundreds of entries, from people hoping to become today's next big thing. the winner gets to sell their product on qvc. we've narrowed down the field to nine semifinalists. we're about to introduce you to our first three. from the gadgets for moms purse category. first, our judges. doug howell, executive vice president of merchandising at qvc. jill martin, a "today" contributor and a creative

director of qvc's jeanne brand. and our tough judge, savannah guthrie. now, our first semifinalists. >> i'm vanessa from philadelphia, pennsylvania, and i invented loopit. it's the next big thing because it solves the pet peeve of tangled headphones in a simple and stylish way. >> come on out. welcome. >> thank you. >> let's tell us about loopit. >> loopit are headphones that convert into a stylish necklace when you're not using them. when you need them, pull, put them in your ears and plug into your device. they have a great sound and built-in microphone for calls. when done, connect the magnets together, and you can wear it as an understated necklace. you can even wear it through airport security. they're always there. never tangled. say good-bye to the tangled mess

in your handbag or pocket. >> and be stylish, as well. >> thank you very much. our next semifinalist. >> hi, i'm from new jersey and i'm rita. i think koffie straw is the next big thing. >> let's find out more. rita, come on out. >> hi. >> you've already had your good morning cup of coffee. >> apparently so. who doesn't love the morning coffee? you probably don't want to get stains. not all straws are created equally. i went on a mission to create the perfect hot liquid straw. it's patented, silicone, reu reusab reusable, cuts down on the plastic waste. >> thank you so much. thanks so much. now, let's get our final semifinalist of the morning.

>> my name is shannon. i'm from san diego, california. my product is dprks ovgoverre. say good-bye to plastic cups at your barbecue or concert in the park. >> shannon, come on out. >> good morning. >> party girl, tell us about this. >> have you ever been to a concert in the park, a barbecue, to the beach or on a picnic, brought your favorite bottle of wine with you and you had to pour it into a plastic cup? guilty. >> bummer. >> right. the wine probably didn't taste the way it should. i bet at some point, it spilled. that is why we invented goveree. it's glass with a drink-through lid. pour your wine into your glass, seal the lid, pack in your beach bag and take it to your next outdoor event. pour, seal, pack, enjoy.

it's that simple, and that's why i think it is today's next big thing. cheers. >> bring all our semifinalists back in. judges, do you have any questions? >> vanessa, as long as you keep the magnets together, it keeps it from being tangled? >> absolutely. things are not kept together is when it tangles. >> with the straw, people say, why wouldn't we get a straw? there are benefits. you said there is one specific one because of the angle of the straw? >> the angle and the opening keep it behind your teeth so the flow doesn't flood your teeth. >> and keeps them whiter? >> yes. prevent staining because it'll sit where it needs to be, on your taste buds. >> i love wine, you may know. i usually have more than one glass, to be honest. if i go to the beach, am i stuck with having one glass of wine? >> it holds 17 ounces. it's actually the equivalent of almost half of a bottle. technically, two glasses.

>> now we're talking. >> still not enough for savannah. >> now we're talking. >> guys, thank you. thanks so much. great first round of pitches. of course, these young ladies need your vote. go to today.com to help one of them try and become today's next big thing. tomorrow, we'll meet three more semifinalists in the moms on the go category. matt? oh, we'll be right back. after these messages. first, this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:46. this morning on our special series the graduates, it's decision time. colleges sending out acceptance and unfortunately rejection letters. students have until may 1st to make a decision.

57% of college freshmen in 2014 attended their first choice school. here with great advice, the founder and ceo of ivy wise, and eric, the dean of admissions at the university of pennsylvania. good morning to both of you. >> morning. >> as eric retreats to the sidelines. you have some kids leaving high school. they're so excited. other kids are going to be disappointed. how do you manage expectations? >> the first thing we do is we make sure that students come up with a list of at least ten schools that are great fits for them academically, socially and financially. we make sure their list is balanced. reach schools, target schools and likely schools. colleges can fill their classes over -- usually twice over with candidates from the deny pile. they have to be prepare ed for e outcomes. >> let's say we're dealing with a student who has been accepted to several colleges but rejected from his or her first choice. what do you recommend?

>> look at the colleges that have accepted you. those colleges want you. you want to do your due diligence. look at academics. research courses, professors, figure out what you want to study. next, look at the location and culture. do you want to be far from home? is a small school going to offer the activities you want? the best way to figure out culture is visit. now is the best time, before may 1st. if you can't afford to go visit, look at you visit.com. also look at the financial aid packages. make sure you're graduating with the least amount of debt. i tell students at the end, go with your gut. you have parents saying things, everyone is talking in your ear. go with your instinct. >> when i was younger looking at colleges, a lot of factors came into play. one didn't. roi, return on investment. how should it impact your decision? >> students and parents are thinking about this. look at the career centers or career options available at the colleges that have admitted you and see where the college grads

are getting jobs. look at the median salaries of the grads. you can go to pay scale.com to get more information on that. remember, college is what you make of it. college, just going to college, you're going to earn over $1 million more over the course of your lifetime than if you just had a high school degree. >> big deal. let's talk about students who have been wait listed. i don't want to leave you in the corner. nobody leaves kat in the corner. talk about students who have been wait listed. it's a gamble, a bit of a game. do you hope you'll be admitted or commit somewhere else? >> you need to do both. there is the waiting aspect, but you still need to make the commitment. if you're wait listed at a school you'd like to attend and don't just respond to all the wait list schools, say yes to that offer of wait list. it's going to indicate to the school you would choose them if admitted. >> how proactive? do you make another pitch for yourself and say, here's why you should take me off the wait list and accept me?

>> in a way. it's campaign season right now, isn't it? >> right. >> you're still going to deposit at another school, make sure you secure a spot, while saying yes to the wait list. then we'll update the school that you're on the wait list. say you're the first choice, perhaps. it might help. you're going to send in upgrades on grades and honors, as well. >> say you don't end up in that school and you commit to another school. how do you figure out if it's feasible to transfer after a semester or two? >> i think with what dr. kat said, we have to embrace the choices we have. i don't want a student to go to a school next year and look at the exit door for transfer. do in with a positive attitude. i think cues from parents are critically important here. maybe wear the sweatshirt that wasn't the first choice. i think it is harder, matt, if your son or daughter was denied at a place you ahettended schoo. it's harder with the legacy piece. embrace the options. i don't want any disappointment to become despair.

>> last thing. five seconds each. one piece of advice for parents and students. >> create the list. it's when you have the options. think about why the school is on your list in the first place. >> be prepared for all possible outcomes. rejection is not a bad thing. it's a great life lesson. learn resilience. it's okay. >> good ideas. thank you. >> thank you. up next, winner, winner, chicken dinner. who wrote that? a great recipe that takes 20 minutes to prepare from michael. first on a tuesday morning, this is "today" on nbc.

8:53. back with more of our week of 20-minute meals on today food. our friend michaela monaco, the chef of porterhouse bar and grill in new york city has a go-to chicken recipe when you're in a hurry. always good to see you, pal. >> thank you so much. >> do you understand the criteria, 20 minutes? >> yes, this is a 20-minute recipe, start to finish, prep and all. >> let's look at the ingredients. basic. >> yup. chicken breast, beautiful skinless, boneless breast. fresh peas, asparagus, mushrooms, herbs, chicken broth, simple. >> the trick you use to cook chicken quickly is slice it thin. >> it's important. you can see how thin the slices are. this is a hot pan. we can start cooking chicken. >> just a little butter in

there? >> butter and oil. olive oil, little butter together. we can saute them here really in minutes. sizzling already. >> right. >> then they get grazed with broth at the end. >> salt and pepper for you. little more salt. >> yeah. >> again, it's going to be quick. looking for a little brownness on each side. get a little white. >> that's right, exactly. >> perfect. >> it's sort of like a small stew in a way. here, we have the mushrooms. lots of flavor. >> put a little oil in there? >> little bit of oil and butter. two tablespoons of oil and butter in the whole dish. split it between the two portions of the recipe. add our chicken back in. >> we have our tasters downstairs and i want to check in with them. see if they're scarfing this down. >> we love it. >> really healthy, too. >> good. >> it is. little bit of chicken broth. this is important, the chicken broth is hot. i heated it already. >> why do you do that? >> so we can move along with the

recipe and it doesn't take forever. >> makes sense. >> everything is cut thinly and easily. the fresh vegetables are going to cook in the broth. asparagus and fresh peas. >> how long will they cook? how far from the end do you add those? >> these will cook in two minutes. this is fresh, seasonal produce and great to have now. the peas and asparagus are thin. not thick as par dpparagus. we'll finish with this. >> thickens it up? >> adds a little flavor. it's not a lot of heavy cream. it's just two tablespoons. quarter cup. then we really wind up with a finished dish that's creamy but not too heavy. >> savannah, we talk about these dishes that we could make on a week night when we have to be -- go to bed early. >> totally. >> this is one you could do. >> and so tasty and no guilt. >> i didn't want to make it sound like, even you could do this. >> but it did.

>> i know what you meant. >> it is delicious. >> you can do it with anything. use wild mushrooms. use pork or veal. the thin slicing is important. fresh herbs at the end. chives. >> perfect. >> amazing. >> michael, thank you very much. >> under 20 minutes, the best part. recipe at today.com/food. also, check out our facebook page because i'm heading into the facebook live booth to answer your question i'm ... ==anim== happening today... ==topvo== the fight heats up over an open-air urinal operating in san francisco. developers added the al- fresco tuesday morning, i'm sam brock. an open-air urinal is operating in san francisco. developers out of the el fresco urinal has a relatively small addition to renovations at dlars park. it officially reopened earlier in the year. conservative groups, though, say the new pee pod has got to go. they're filing a lawsuit today, claiming the urinal is a

>> i was listening to your song all morning in my office. that wasn't it. >> no. >> what was her song. >> lauryn hill. >> but our dj apparently had a late night at coachella. the dj is still, you know, hanging with taylor swift and rihanna. >> with a new bob cut. >> here we go. >> that's it. >> you can't edit out the great lauryn hill, dj. come on! i was joking. we don't have a dj and neither does coachella. >> they don't? >> lauryn hill has an art music series at the end of april in brooklyn. she's had these kokbackcomeback. she has a collaboration with major artists coming soon. >> she is a genius. we need her back on the music scene full time, doing her thing. >> she has new things happening. this is one of the classics. >> great song. >> thanks. sad news to pass along. doris roberts passed away sunday. she was 90 years old.

harry truman was in office. heck of a run. >> and "remington steel." >> fantastic. >> she played in "angie." >> sure. >> terrific. >> what a life. >> what a career. >> 2002, she testified before a u.s. congressional panel about age discrimination in hollywood. al, we went into the "today" vault and found a 2003 interview where al talked to her about the ageism in hollywood. >> i'm very angry at the image makers of america, who think that if a woman is over 40, she doesn't exist. you don't see a picture of any woman in any magazine over 40 unless she's selling depends on viagra. we do lots more than that. >> in fact, you like to point out that you've got a full life. i mean, in all aspects. >> look at me. this age, this year, i won my third emmy for "everybody loves raymond." i got a star on the hollywood walk of fame. i have this wonderful book

told my parents, come like two or three days after the baby is born. i want to -- it's my husband, the doctors, the nurse. a small group of people. i don't want anybody to be south of the border when that is happening. >> right. >> i think because once she let her mother in -- >> right. >> -- i think you've opened the door, literally, for the mother-in-law. i believe -- like i was the only one in there. parents came, you know, the day -- the next day. so -- >> that wasn't even on the table for us. we never had that conversation. me and christina and the doctor, the nurse and the new baby. >> i thought it was a plus one. i didn't know you could get plus two or three. al, you're right, once you let your mom in, his mom is like -- it's like the holiday debate. once you get married -- >> it is different. >> but it's both your kids. >> in the post she argues with her mother, she feels she'd calm

her down and soothe her. mother-in-law -- >> would annoy you. >> tempers flare. >> you're not doing it right, honey. push harder. >> she can't have it both ways. or what he should do is periscope it. everybody can watch. >> whoa! no, no. >> for my understanding, because i don't know, people stay back, right? they don't go -- >> some people go. now, in the case of like a c-section -- >> south of the border. >> -- they wait until after the cut. there's a lot going on. >> most times, everybody is back. >> then you go. i remember -- >> i'm back. i know people who are not back. >> i was there on the other side. when they went in, it was like, rocky, watch me pull rabbit out of a hat. >> did you film it? >> the c-section. >> had a go pro.

>> wait, wait. c-section. no, c-section, this end up. >> sorry. >> it was like a little alien. >> i didn't mean to -- >> it was like a puppet show going on. >> someone filmed it. >> yes. >> by the way, if you want to, god bless, it's a beautiful moment. but they say, would you like the mirror? they'll roll a mirror down there -- >> like a hand held or a big mirror. >> so the mother can -- >> christine said, a mirror? >> objects are closer than they appear. >> but it is a beautiful moment. >> fantastic. >> i love we have to keep saying this. >> it's a beautiful moment. that's right. >> but you never look at them the same way. once you see it all sort of out there. >> it's out there. >> literally. hey, okay, i'm going to change the topic here.
