gymnast vitaly cherbo of belarus in the 1990s. biles is now looking ahead to the 2020 summer olympics in tokyo. now she says that that's going to be her last. we'll see. because she's 4',he's just 22 years old. and she says she now has more medals than her age which i think is kind of cool. >> that's amazing. >> 22 -- she's got 24, 25. she has moves named after her. you go, simone biles. >> gravity does not seem to apply to her, why should age? >> good point. i'm talking about dolly parton who marked a country music milestone with a soldout concert at the grand oel olold hou house. ♪ ♪ jolene >> one of her many hits. the show was part of celebrations to honor parton's 50 years as a member of the grand ole opry. as anthony tells me, it is like the grand church of country music. a big deal indeed. she performed "9 to 5" and also
8:32 am
"i will always love you." she's worried people might think she's above the age of 50 since she's celebrating her 50th anniversary there. i said, what do you hope people will say 100 years from now about you, she said, don't you think she looks good for her age. >> she does. >> a busy year. impressive. another music legends, peter frampton, played his final show of his farewell tour. ♪ >> that was frampton in concord, california, on saturday night playing to a packed house. the 69-year-old announced in february he suffers from a degenerative muscle disease that will eventually rob him ofises ability to play the guitar. the rocker finished with a cover of the beatles song, he plays a great cover of this, "while my guitar gently sleeps." he finished up -- >> is it weeps? >> sorry, weeps.
8:33 am
"while my guitar gently weeps." he's played that for years in his concerts. what's fitting is he finished up in the bay area which is where he recorded most of "frampton comes alive." he's completing the circle and finished in great form. >> i remember when you just did the story with him, seemingly the other day, when he was on the tour -- >> this is the end of his farewell tour. >> wow. all right. in his explosive book called "catch and kill," ronan farrow talks about sexual assault in the media industry and his former boss' attempts to stifle his reporting. it describes sexual assault allegations against disgraced hollywood mogul harvey weinstein and former nbc news anchor matt lauer. both have denied any wrongdoing. in a moment we'll talk with farrow about his book, his pulitz pulitzer prize-winning book inspired many women to come forward. it talked about powerful men including charlie roosevelt and
8:34 am
les moonves here at cbs. in "catch and kill," ronan farrow said he had reporting in august, 2017, about weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct including anonymous corroborating witnesses, a silhouetted accuser on camera, and even secretly recorded audio with weinstein accuser amber gutierrez. >> why you touch me breasts -- >> please. i'm sorry. come on, i'm used to that. >> reporter: farrow claims nbc said it wasn't enough. he says nbc news president noah oppenheim eventually suggested farrow take the story elsewhere, writing, quote, any further reporting you're doing is not on behalf of or with the blessing of nbc. farrow published his investigation nearly two months later in the "new yorker." >> hat -- >> reporter: catch and kill" also names one of matt lauer's accusers for the first time. former nbc employee brooke nevils. she said lauer raped her in his hotel room at the 2014 sochi
8:35 am
olympics. that accusation led to lauer's dismissal from nbc for sexual misconduct in november, 2017. lauer staunchly denies an assault took place saying the encounter was consensual. last night lauer's attorney fought back writing, "farrow continues his attempt to monetize the me too movement using salacious allegations as promotional trinkets to sell his book." and nbc's noah aoppenheim wrote "matt lauer's actions were abhorrent. ronan farrow's book takes that undeniable fact and twists it into a lie alleging we were a company with a lot of secrets. we have no secrets and nothing to hide." nbc also calls farrow's claim about their quashing the weinstein story a conspiracy theory. ronan farrow joins us now. welcome. >> good to be here. >> in this statement from nbc which i should say is six pages
8:36 am
long -- >> very detailed. >> yeah. nbc news president noah oppenheim says your book is, quote, built on a series of distortions, confused timelines, and outright inaccuracies. >> look, this book is an extraordinarily meticulously fact-checked work of investigative journalism. it's two years of reporting. one of the senior fact-checkers did it and i think people have seen it for what it is. >> what have you heard from people inside nbc? >> there's been an outpouring of support from journalists and sources saying they, too, have stories. that's very common. all of this is honestly very common with these kind of investigative stories. when i reported those stories about cbs that you mentioned, similar campaign to undercut the reporting that revved up, and similar support that ultimately carried the day. >> there was always two sides to every story. i'm curious because matt lauer came out with guns blazing responding to you. >> he did. >> made it clear from his point of view that it was certainly
8:37 am
consensual and she was very willing. this really is a he said/she said story at the end of the day. the allegations about matt lauer. how do you sdpied wdecide who i telling the truth? >> i think one of the transformations of recent years is that we've come to understand that i come at this from legal backgroun background, you can corroborate allegations of sexual violence. and nevils' story has been found credible by nbc and by me and the fact-checkers working on this. she describes an evening that marches one the timeline given by others. there were eyewitnesses to what happened before and after that moment. she described this event consistently over the years. and look, it's telling that nbc news paid her a seven-figure settlement to ensure that she can't talk about what the network knew about it. >> i want to ask about the fact-checking process. matt lauer's lawyer says many allegations being circulated
8:38 am
were never raised during any fact-checking process, and despite repeated requests for an advanced copy of the book, have not been provided to me. did you have a conversation, did you talk to matt at any time about this -- >> look, very often without talking to matt lauer specifically, as you know in our profession, people will fact check or have conversations and give you the responses in an off-the-record capacity or under some other ground rule that prevents flme from answering a question like that. i will say that every single individual where there's a serious allegation described against them in this book had an ample, fair window to fact check them. specifically to matt lauer, when you read the book, it's clear the section is fair and even generous to him and his thinking is reflected in detail. so there was nothing surprising in that letter except obviously ads many survivors commented on the tone which was angry and had menace in it, was surprising to some people. >> one of the major discrepancies between what nbc is saying and what you're reporting is the question of agreements prior to matt lauer's firing, apparently involving
8:39 am
women, apparently involving misbehavior. nbc says those were routine, not related to sexual harassment or assault. what makes you say otherwise? >> tony, they had a euphemism at this company called enhanced severance. and we talked to multile people including executives on the nbc side who were involved saying these were explicitly arrangements to shut up women with allegations of misconduct in the company. that's something we saw at cbs, other media companies. it's a practice that correctly is being called into question by journalists. >> they say enhanced severance was routine and paid out to hundreds if not thousands of people. >> and what we document in this book is these settlements were an elevated amount that was atypical. and look, we fully include in the book their claim that it is coincidental that the women had complaints about matt lauer and others including executives there. the people involved say something else. >> the bulk of the book, though, is about your efforts to tell the harvey weinstein story.
8:40 am
it's ironic that the people familiaring -- following you ended up reaching out because they wanted to talk to you about how they felt about the job they were doing. the bulk of the book is about telling the harvey weinstein story and nbc killed the story saying it didn't reach their level of journalism. how do we know that this is not just -- they're saying it's an axe to grind on your part. >> the book is fair and generous. at every turn there was extensive fact checking to make sure every rebuttal is in there -- >> it didn't run on nbc -- >> took it to the "new yorker." d a working piece corroborating that saying we were ordered to stop. that is the point, gale. there are untruths by nbc, lies in the statement that wouldn't fact check. they admitted they never fact checked the memos you referred to rebutting this. they are concealing the fact that they actively ordered us to stop. yes, we had multiple named women
8:41 am
in ever ever draft of the story, we had audio of harvey weinstein admitting to the crime. more importantly, they ordered us to stop. this book answers why. >> it hasn't stopped yet. the investigation is ongoing. >> i appreciate is how you came forward in reporting in my story about cbs. i know journalists were happy about that -- >> we never thought we'd be part of that story. we have made a big effort to be transparent about it. >> on the nbc sides, there are fantastic journalists at that company -- >> exactly right. >> the book is a tribute to them. many are sources in this story. they are anguished over what's happening now and some of the lies that are being put out by their own corporate leadership and some of the executive interference in coverage. >> thank you so much. "catch and kill: lies, spies, and a conspiracy to protect predators" goes on sale tomorrow. ahead, rachael ray will give us a look o0 c1

8:47 am
ten kids. our family was always in the kitchen. that's where i learned to school -- >> you say people -- working in restaurants should be a compulsory part of education. >> i think that everybody should have to be a dishwasher. i think that everybody should learn how to take an order to and serve people, you know. it's humbling, and it's -- i think it's the luckiest thing that ever happened to me that i was born into that industry. >> you say this was hard to book to write because it was so personal. you want people to know you write all of your books. >> i do. >> you could tell this was extremely personal for you -- >> this was personal. it wasn't just me writing recipes. it was looking back on 50 years >> your first word -- of how --- >> how i got to be where i am. the point of the book was to teach anybody that they could be rachael ray. not that everybody has the first word as vino in life -- my
8:48 am
grandpa used to fill my bottle with homemade wine and people thought i was a had been baby. really i was just a little drunk. >> i love that. >> you think anybody can cook? i'm fascinated by how you do what you do. >> if you have an appetite, you can cook. like i have some friends that just literally like to eat to -- to stay alive. so if you don't enjoy food, no, you can't cook. but if you do enjoy food, yes. anybody, absolutely anybody can learn to cook. >> she says she can't make coffee. >> how do you explain that -- >> my coffee's horrible. i set toast on fire. any time i ask my husband to bring home bread, he brings home extra. >> why are you so bad at coffee? >> i think my husband rigs the machine so if he's out of town it will over flow -- it will flame, overflow, and look more
8:49 am
like urine than coffee. yellowish brown. i'm terrible at coffee. >> talk about i've never met beyonce, you say, i met jay-z, he was very nice. during the whole controversy about "becky with the good hair." people thought it was rachael roy, but it started #rachaelray. you got the worst hate mail of your career. >> i don't know if it was this worst. after 20 years, there should be a website called i hate rachael ray. they were loyal viewers. i was thrilled that they spent so much time with me. >> this is the thing, i would like to invite myself to dinner at your place. i'm serious -- >> any night. >> i would like the spaghetti putanesca. >> my favorite. >> the proper popover -- >> my mom's favorite. >> and then some kind of gorgonzola pear dish that i thought was good. >> i use gorgonzola and fruit often. >> she doesn't like to pick a last meal because you'd be too sad to eat it. but your first meal in heaven would be what -- >> it would be an chief ever spaghetti -- anchovy spaghetti with my grandpa and butternut squash with my first dog, poo. >> i like that, too. >> i do want to come to dinner. >> any time, you know i go home and cook every day. >> "rachael ray 50" on sale tomorrow. we'll be right back. just because we're super hungry...
