captions paid for by nbc-universal television hello, everybody. we made it to booze day tuesday, november 15th. starting to feel like that season, you know? a little bit. >> a lot of people in l.a. were camping out because they wanted to see the latest installment of "twilight." the twi-hards stayed out late. the from premiere was last night. there you see the stars of the show who were there. kathie lee and i saw this movie. >> yes, we did. >> in the theater.

it was something else. wasn't it? how would you describe it? >> we have our feelings about it. i think you have to be a twi-hard. >> and i think you have to be young, your juices just starting to flow. if you know what i mean. my daughter said, mom, did you see that actor on their honeymoon, the bed's a mess and they break the bed and everything? i said, yes. oh, great. that's the part i didn't like. >> here is the funny thing. fandango said there are 2,500 showtimes and it's already sold out and the movie doesn't open till thursday. it's called "breaking dawn." and "breaking dawn part two" will be released next november. you have a whole year to wait. >> maybe by then you and i will understand what the whole thing is all about. >> she is pregnant in this one. i don't think we're giving anything away. you had quite the evening, i would say. >> one of the rare nights -- i'm in town a lot this week.

it's a big week for reg. i'm going to go to a lot of things for him. last night i was at lord and taylor ringing in christmas for the window unveiling. that's always a beautiful thing. they do a gorgeous job there. the last couple of years i've been there with my friend michael storing who has the greatest balls of anyone i know. he's a wonderful artist. they are beautiful balls. >> yeah, they are. as far as balls go. >> when you've seen as many balls through the years as hoda has, she knows these are among the great balls of all time. there is michael. he is a sweetheart and illustrator for my little book "the three gifts." my proceeds go to battle child abuse, which we are hearing way too much in the press today. kudos to bob costas. he did an amazing interview with sandusky. >> you could have lost yourself and become aggressive.

i thought he handled it. he was direct, he was a pro. >> he was a pro he was very matt-esque. so good for him. we are not supposed to accuse and decide somebody is guilty until we have the facts, until they are proven innocent. >> i thought he did it with the right tone. >> there's a lot of indictments against this man. we'll get to the bottom of it. >> we have a big book out. it is the "today show" book. 60 years on the air. >> i'm glad something is older than i am. >> look at you with your book mark up front. >> yes, there i am. >> i'm in the back. >> no, you are not. >> i'm fine back here. there is ann. >> i'm certainly not first. >> everybody has a book mark. you can see, it's interesting to see "today" through the years. they used to have girls. >> they still do. >> we'll talk a little about this.

watching some of these old, this old film is fascinating. to think now we do twitter and natalie does news in two minutes and now we've got this guy in the blackboard. there are the girls being chased around the table. >> it was almost canceled early on. barbara walters as a playboy bunny. >> you never know what you're going to find in this book. there is a story behind that which we'll tell later in the show. here is a question for you. is stress contagious? if you're around someone who is high stress do you get stressed out? >> i think everything is contagious. i think when somebody is friendly walks in the room, that's contagious. we have a choice every day. we can speak life or speak death to people. we can be a downer. we can be a blessing or a burden. unfortunately, a lot of people choose to be a burden today. i'm going to figure out how to ruin someone else's day or do you want to make it nicer? >> i think some people are cranky.

i think on a plane someone said, is it hot in here? i wasn't hot then i started to feel hot in here. then you're hot and turning on your air thing and you become crazy. like that happened. >> you never look hot to me. you put on a hoodie and you disappear for four hours. snuggled up in hoda world. >> someone will say, was that guy being rude? suddenly i'm on the wagon. i like to be part of something. it can get like that. i think it is great to have someone who lowers the temperature. i'm suggestive that way, i think. >> that's why it's important you surround yourself with people that not only lower your stress levels, but are people that do the exact opposite which make you feel good about who you are. why surround yourself with unbelievable negativity? >> they do say you attract what's within you. i have friends that way. oh, my friends are so bitchy. i'm like, you are, too.

i think when you are a happy person, you attract happiness. >> i think so. we know what attracts him. we'll get to new a minute, mister. >> there was a guy running the new york marathon. he parked his car. he did the run and he was trying to find his car afterwards. he couldn't find it anywhere. he walked and walked and searched. he couldn't find it. he called his wife to drove down from albany to get him and find his car. >> that's a bit of a schlep. >> you have a situation where you park your car and you don't know where you have left it. >> you don't drive that often. >> when i do, i thought it was on the street. was it this street or the next street? i immediately think someone has stolen it. that's my first thought. >> you couldn't have been an idiot. >> i couldn't have parked it over there. i'm going to find the guy who stole my car. but i do get that -- >> here is what i don't understand. i understand the first time losing something like that. i don't understand how it happens over and over and over

again. when the person doesn't learn to go, i'm in the mall and i'm going to look up and it's going to say f-2. i'm going to remember or write down f-2. >> you're on the phone. >> stress again. >> you're on the phone, you're forgetting. that is a good point. you know what kills me after the marathon? there are not cabs for people. people have run 26 miles. they have those things around them and they can't even find a cab to go home. it's like the worst feeling. you see them almost crying. >> there are no cabs because they know they cannot get from one block to the next. >> they need to provide free rides after. >> oh! >> after you run 26 miles, figure out a way to get people away. they ran 26 miles. someone take them home. >> i get that. think it through. somebody has to pay for that. we can't afford anything anymore. we're all broke. >> someone can find coin and help these people. donald trump or somebody with

money. >> sure. ask them to do it. okay. >> here is something that happened to a man. his wife was taking a shower. >> this is not stupid men day, by the way. it sounds a little bit like stupid men day. >> she says will you take my wedding ring. he has her wedding ring and has his razor. he takes his razor which he plans to throw away and throws the whole thing in the garbage along with the wedding ring. it gets taken away. the man has to go into the landfill to find -- >> in a haz/mat suit. it's a $10,000 ring with a lot of emotional value. our question is would you do that? dive in the dumpster? >> i've done the thing with i have garbage and something important and it gets -- i threw away one of my -- >> you throw away your jury summons every week. >> i threw away one of my land line phones. i used to have three.

>> you threw away your phone? three land line phones, why? >> it comes in the package. you get three. there are the two little sets and the one big one. i had it in my hand and i must have thrown it away. >> what's the problem? you had two left. >> i know. that's how i felt. i'm good with it. >> all right. this has been here for several days. we are going to get rid of this. you keep asking about it. we are green, we are universal, we are proud. these are made by women in africa, i believe, from recycled crocs and things. >> they are attractive. >> we are wearing what we've been wearing for months. these are cuffs. >> it's our tuesday trend. they say this season is all about cuffs. we have been ahead of that crowd for a long time. yours is rich rock? >> i think so. >> this is jennifer miller. they are great little, you know, things to spruce your outfit up. >> and they come in all price ranges.

living room. it was away from the rest of the household when people were getting ready. pat weaver, the nbc executive who created the show, he knew radio was successful in the morning, why not tv? he picked dave garraway who was perfect. he could talk into the camera as if he was talking to you. >> how about those "today" show girls? what was going on with that? the girls were being chased around the table. how did that come to be? >> like the marx brothers. >> estelle parsons was the woman's editor on the "today" show and would fill in for dave garraway. after that, there was a succession of "today" girls who were not given respect or any of the serious stories on the program for years. barbara walters was the one who changed all that. she was a trailblazer. >> even in her bunny outfit. >> that is tough, too. she was hired as a writer. she wasn't able to write for any of the men on the program for years.

>> okay. horizontal stripes. come on out. >> bring it out. >> so every woman on the show of "how do i look" we hear, can't wear horizontal stripes. b.s. honestly, horizontal stripes can be stunning if you wear them in a fitted way. fitting beneath the knee shapes the outfit into hugging your body. also notice how it's ruched in different areas. the stripes work for you. >> no white after labor day. >> i break this all the time. >> here is the thing. i am a wearapist. i teach that colors can affect mood and enhance mood wherever you go. white means refresh and restart. refresh and restart. look how gorgeous it is. >> and not even winter. they are different whites. you say mix them up.

>> beige, ivory, white. all shades of white. >> don't mix black and brown. who says? >> here we go. >> go, kara. >> black and brown, i always hear that black and brown are safe colors. everybody sticks with them because they are safe and standard. here is where you go unsafe and unexpected. mix them together. not only do you create a much more harmonious flow with the color you get earthy tone, you get fun and funky. >> lastly, no tights with open-toe shoes. you say do it. >> here we go. check it out. she is working it out. obviously, she is picking one staple color which is the mustard dress. if you pick any shoe that has colors that tie into it, you see the mustard on the shoe. >> that's the way it works. >> we went fun with an eggplant. you can do a chocolate opaque brown and do a black. >> as long as it's in the color of the shoe. >> yes.
