we usually show you the skyline. not today. >> that will do it for us for now. we'll have updates in 25 minutes. have a good one. good morning. out on a limb. donald trump ratchets up claims that the election is rigged. surrogates, even his own running mate, apparently not on board. >> we will absolutely accept the results of the election. and after the republican headquarters in north carolina is firebombed, trump points the finger at nimals representing hillary clinton." are his accusations and attacks having any impact? this morning, new poll numbers are in. breaking overnight, backed by the u.s., iraq launches a massive offensive to retake mosul from isis. the largest operation against the terror group ever. richard engel is live with one of the convoys heading into battle. reliving the nightmare. the diver who was trapped in that shark cage when a great

white broke through the bars opens up about his dramatic encounter. >> i just feel very lucky out there. can survive. still alive. and nothing gets hurt. >> why he says the danger was far greater than anyone realized. and to the rescue. a driver pulled from his burning car after it crashed and rolled down a hill. an army of onlookers then forms a human chain to get him out proving there is safety in numbers "today," monday, october 17th, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a monday morning. what are you going to do three weeks from tomorrow? >> stay up all night. election day is upon us. >> i know. let us start this morning with

some new campaign allegations and attacks. here's your state of the race today. 22 days to go. donald trump is doubling down on his claims of a rigged election. this time blaming the media, his opponent, and many polling places. but, there has yet to be any evidence of voter fraud. our newest head-to-head polling shows clinton holds a ten-point lead over trump among likely voters nationwide. when you look at the key female voting bloc, clinton has a advantage 55%-25%. bernie sanders will campaign for hillary clinton with two events in colorado. >> starting with nbc national correspondent peter alexander. he's on the trail in green bay, wisconsin. peter, good morning. >> reporter: matt, savannah, good morning to you. two days until that third and final presidential debate. donald trump will rally supporters here tonight in green

bay. heading into this critical week, trump is now furiously ratcheting up his rhetoric. facing a growing deficit in the polls, donald trump is intensifying his efforts to fuel doubts about the legitimacy of the election. >> one big fix. it's one big ugly lie. >> reporter: trump expanding his argument that the election is being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media, but also at many polling places. that incendiary new claim challenging the fairness of the voting process. but it also contradicts one of trump's top surrogates, rudy giuliani. >> i don't expect the electoral process to be rigged, meaning the election to be rigged. but if it is, we'll contest it. >> reporter: mike pence also tried to down play his running mate's latest claim. >> we will absolutely accept the results of the election. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan rejecting talk of a rigged election. his office saying, "the speaker

is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity." ahead trump's trip today to wisconsin, ryan's home turf, trump's blasting his party's 2012 vp nominee as a man who doesn't know how to win. republicans divided and now under attack. a gop office in north carolina firebombed. a nearby building vandalized. so far, no arrests, but trump blames animals representing hillary clinton and democrats. clinton condemning the attack as horrific and unacceptable. the fierce rhetoric coming just days before the candidates' final debate showdown. in our new poll, 31% of voters said the debates made them more likely to back clinton. just 14% more likely to vote trump, who still is vigorously denying allegations he groped or kissed women without their permission. trump's latest challenge for clinton -- >> i think we should take a drug

test prior to the debate. i do. >> reporter: and less than a year after hosting "saturday night live," trump's no longer laughing. >> number three -- sorry. okay. and number four -- >> reporter: time to retire the boring and unfunny show, trump tweeted. alec baldwin portrayal stinks." "snl," just another example donald trump says that the media is rigging this election. also new this morning, donald trump is trailing by a wide margin among latinos. clinton holding on to her lead with that group, 67%-17%. a 50% margin. as significantly, more than 80% of latinos now say it is certain they will vote in three weeks which is a number that rivals what happens with the election four years ago when of course

president obama won. let's talk about the democrats. hillary clinton facing her own troubles this morning. more stolen e-mails, this time purported to include transcripts of speeches she gave to goldman sachs. nbc's andrea mitchell has more on that angle. andrea, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. hillary clinton riding high in the polls but now facing that rolling wave of release by wikileaks of stolen campaign e-mails. including now allegedly what are purported to be secret transcripts of those goldman sachs speeches that she gave before she was a candidate. hillary clinton's motorcade on sunday whisking her to practice for her final debate. but how can she prepare for the drip, drip, drip of thousands of pages of stolen e-mails released each day by wikileaks, especially purported transcripts of those goldman sachs speeches she gave before running for president. bernie sanders wanted to see them during the primary campaign. >> you got to release the transcripts. let everybody see.

>> reporter: now clinton talks about cracking down on wall street. >> we still have to crack down on the big banks. >> reporter: but as a highly paid speaker, clinton appears to have told the bankers, "the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry." she also said new banking regulations after the 2008 crisis were passed for political reasons. and the jury is still out on the 2010 dodd-frank wall street reform law. a stolen e-mail wikileaks said was to campaign chairman john podesta reveals, clinton decided to oppose the tpp trade deal she once supported even before seeing the final version, contrary to her latest claims. an advisor writing, "if she weighs in now without viewing the document, some in labor might wonder why she didn't just oppose earlier."

donald trump and rudy giuliani pouncing on this. >> she is getting bombarded by wikileaks and she needs something to save her because the stuff she says in those e-mails is disqualifying for being president of the united states. >> reporter: the clinton campaign firing back blaming russia suspected by the fbi of being behind the hacks of those e-mails. at the same time, vladimir putin on sunday saying that they were not trying to steal anything or influence the u.s. elections. but this, as nbc news has reported exclusively, the cia is planning a covert plan to launch a cyber response to all of this if russia does not stop. at the same time, there are also e-mails from last summer saying that campaign aides were concerned about a character flaw in clinton, that she could not express remorse or apologize for the private server. she finally did in a series of interviews starting with us last september. savannah and matt? >> andrea, we remember it well. thank you. let us talk about all this with chuck todd.

chuck, good morning to you. >> good morning, sir. >> for months and months, hillary clinton refused to talk about or release the transcripts of those speeches to goldman sachs saying that she would do that some time when donald trump released his taxes. now we know, allegedly, what was included in her comments to gold plan sax. do you have a better sense of why she didn't release them? >> i sure do. this was -- i think this would have been more problematic for her in the democratic primaries. look, the democratic party is moving in a direction much faster to the left than hillary clinton ever was. what wikileaks -- what we have learned out of all of this, matt, on one hand, it sort of reinforced what we already thought we knew about hillary clinton. but politically and ideologically, this being exposed during the primaries with bernie sanders, that basically she was making a calculation to move to the left. i think it would have been absolutely damaging in the primary and possibly cost her the nomination. >> obviously if you say it would

have been that damaging in the primary, the question then is how damaging, if at all, is it now with three weeks to go until the general election. >> i think in a general election, much less damaging, number one. there are some voters who are going to be reassured that she's in the middle here a little bit, number one. and then second, remember who her opponent is. i think against another opponent this could be more lethal. i think against donald trump, obviously he blocks out the sun with all of his problems. >> let's talk about donald trump. he spent the weekend really honing in on this idea and this message that the whole system is rigged. but if you really think about it, that's the message that not -- not a message to win, it is not a message to turn out voters, because, frankly, people might get depressed and think, why bother. it is a message to explain a loss. >> that's right, savannah. i think it is also a message as a way to not lose either. to not look like a loser. this is going to be donald trump looking like a fighter.

this is going to be donald trump defining victory in his own way. we've got -- we all know donald trump pretty well, i think, the three of us. one thing he will never admit is losing or failing at anything. to me, this feels like donald trump's way of deciding this fight for the presidency will make him look like a winner even if he gets trounced. >> chuck todd, thank you very much. want to mention, nbc news will bring you that third and final presidential debate wednesday night. komplg coverage begins, 9:00 eastern time. bug niz overseig news overs. the army launch be an attack of mosul. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel is with troops on the move in northern iraq this morning. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is a major operation where we are, we've been hearing outgoing rockets and artillery throughout the day.

. it began in the early morning hours at around 60,000 iraqis are taking part. it is also the main focus of the some 5,000 u.s. troops in this country. the biggest offensive against isis anywhere so far has begun. this morning iraqi forces, backed by american air power, and artillery are on the move. it seems like every iraqi in uniform and every vehicle is being brought in for this operation. so far, this stage moving the armor to the front line is moving very quickly. but american commanders say it could slow down considerably if and when they meet resistance. heading into battle, but their mood is upbeat. as the attack convoy stopped briefly, some troops started dancing. and they're getting a warm reception from iraqi civilians. many villagers came out to welcome the troops as they advanced toward mosul where more than 1 million people are penned

in by isis as human shields. but then, as the convoy drew closer to mosul, an ominous sign. huge plumes of black smoke shut out the sun. isis torched these oil wells, wells it used to fund its terror, rather than allow them to go back to the iraqi government. many iraqis want revenge for over two years of isis abuses. "we will be victorious in mosul, god willing," a soldier said. how long it will take depends on what isis has in store for these troops. iraq's prime minister says this mission has one goal -- to liberate mosul from isis, and god willing, he said, we will win. savannah? matt? back to you. >> richard engel in iraq, thank you. we have an update now on a tragic story out of lexington, kentucky where the 15-year-old daughter of olympic sprinter tyson gay was killed over the

weekend. police announced last night they arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with that case. trinity gay was shot outside a restaurant early sunday when a group of men in two cars opened fire on each other. trinity was not in either car. she later died at a lexington hospital. like her father, trinity was a sprinter. she ran for her high school team. mpl n now to traumatic video we showed you last week, a great white shark busting into a cage with the driver still inside. this morning that diver is telling his story for the first time. nbc's keir simmons has the latestest on th eson that. goo. >> good morning. this is the video that went viral. inside that shark cage had been a lone diver. this is the view from the boat from terrified onlookers. until now we hadn't married from the diver himself. but this morning he tells us this was not the only shark he was confronted with. >> reporter: thrashing

furiously, a huge shark inside a shark cage. the animal panicking, trapped. what you can't see is the chinese diver who, just moments earlier, was inside that same small cage. the shark's bloody body horrifying witnesses. watching from the boat. is there anybody in the . >> is there anybody in there? >> reporter: seconds later he resurfaces, uninjured. >> i just feel very lucky out there. can survive, still alive. and nothing gets hurt. >> reporter: the terrifying sequence lasting less than two minutes. taking the bait, slamming into the cage. >> before he broke the cage, his nose has been locked in the small window. i just tell myself, hey, come on, you don't want to go into my cage. but maybe less than a second after he broke the cage. >> reporter: the diver thrown out into shark infested water. >> at the same time there is two

of the other sharks swim below me. >> reporter: up above, panic. someone opens the hatch. and finally, the diver emerges. >> i don't think he want to attack me. he just panic. i think it's just accident. >> reporter: shark cage close encounters occur when sharks are hunting food. it can look like a shark attack. in fact the animal is unable to swim backwards. but experts warn tourists no the to take risks, like in mexico earlier this year. a diver touching a shark's nose. after this latest frightening incident, the diver says he'll keep diving. >> i will get back to the cage next day. >> he says the shark was so powerful, he was thrown out of the cage and left holding a piece of the torn-off metal. he says that he was not that frightened because everything happened so quickly. matt and savannah, i'm not sure everyone would say that. >> i would agree with that. >> it was bad in the cage.

not so great outside either. shark infested waters. back to the video we showed at the top of the show. tramat traumatic rescue caught on camera. cell phone video shows palm bay police officers and several bystanders rushing to free the trapped driver as the suv burst into flames. after they pulled him out, they locked arms forming a human chain. eventually pulling the driver up hill to safety. miraculously, he only has minor injuries. let's turn to dylan now, first check of the weather. al is still on the mend. doing well. >> he pick a good week to recover. it is going to be in the 80s, sunny. it is fantastic this week across the northeast. in fact across most of the country it is going to feel like late august rather than mid-october. summer-like temperatures thanks to this area of high pressure pushing the jet stream way up to the north. memphis, 88 degrees for the next

several days. dallas should top out in the 90s today and tomorrow. charlotte gets into the mid 80s by the middle of the week. even new york city we should get up to 83 degrees by tomorrow. we are going to tie or break some records. little rock, we should tie the record of 89 degrees. louisville, we should break the record. the old record 85 degrees. as we go into tomorrow, we'll see more widespread record breaking across the country. wednesday it tapers off a little bit but we will still approach records, if not break records. philadelphia, 83 with the old record of 80 degrees as we go into the mid an opening night on broadway is kind of magic. i'm beowulf boritt and i'm a broadway set designer. when i started designing a bronx tale: the musical, i came up... ...with this idea of four towers that were fire escapes... ...essentially. i'll build a little model in photoshop and add these... ...details in with a pen. i could never do that with a mac. i feel like my job is... ...to put out there just enough detail to spur the audiences... ...imagination to fill in all the blanks. this windows pc is amazing, having all of my tools... ...right at my finger tips is incredible.

one of my favorite songs. monday, october 17, 2016. great crowd on the plaza. it is going to be warm this week. let's get right to a check of the he to the headlines. service has been restored to the hoboken train after the data recorder showed it going twice the speed limit. in orange county, north carolina, someone threw a bottle of flammable liquid through a window. that sparked a fire. graffiti that read nazi

republicans leave town or else was also found on a nearby building. no suspects have been identified. we have a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll to show you. hillary clinton now leading in that poll by ten points in a head-to-head election day match-up. now to "today's campaign moment." earlier today we told you donald trump isn't laughing at alec baldwin's portrayal of him on "snl." he probably didn't like this open sketch either. it is a parody of beyonce's "lemonade" parodying the women in donald trump's life. ♪ i see my pants in the corner ♪ looking for the back door >> on twitter, donald trump linked "snl" to the media that he says is trying to rig the

election. that talk of a fix on the election has some of trump's supporters now talking revolution if he doesn't win. nbc's hallie jackson is in washington with that part of the story. hallie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. it is not all of donald trump's supporters, but some who are now talking more about rising up or a revolt, seizing on donald trump's rhetoric of a rigged system. how many steps is it from -- >> a totally rigged election. >> the election is being rigged. >> the whole system is rigged. >> reporter: -- to a revolution. >> we can't let them get away with this, folks. >> total lies that we've been seeing. total lies. >> reporter: with donald trump intensifying his argument that the system isn't fair, growing concern from his critics about why that's so dangerous. >> if you have that mindset, then he loses, what happens is this. >> it will be 100% chaos. no more america. rigged. >> reporter: at trump rallies, some supporters talk of rising

up. >> i believe if she wins, we will end up in a war. >> we are going to rise up because we're tired of taking it. we're tired of being deplorables. >> reporter: in wisconsin, sheriff david clark, a trump backer, now facing new backlash for tweeting, "it's pitch forks and torches time." clark later mocking the media for what he calls its "freak out." arguing overnight he wasn't inciting violence, arguing instead many americans think their government no longer belongs to the people. adding, "i encourage them to join me in pushing back." and in the "boston globe," another trump supporter quoted as saying, "there's going to be a lot of bloodshed if clinton wins." >> look, you got millions of people. each side has a couple of kooks. >> reporter: "we reject violence in any form," pointing instead to the millions of americans who

will make their voices heard at the ballot box with trump's running mate trying to tamp down inflammatory talk. >> i will tell you, just for me -- i don't want this to happen, but i will tell you, for me personally, if hillary clinton gets in, i myself, i'm ready for a revolution because we can't have her in. >> you don't -- don't say that. >> i'm just saying it. >> reporter: others resigned to what could happen if their candidate comes up short. >> we have no choice but to accept the outcome. you know, that's all we can do. >> as for what trump could do if he were to lose in november, the "financial times" this morning is now reporting that trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, has in their words informally met with a top media executive to discuss the possibility of setting up a trump tv network after the election. matt? savannah? >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. dylan is here with another check of the weather for us on a monday morning. >> good morning, guys. an awful weekend in the pacific northwest but we will start to

see some improvements. over the weekend, we had wind gusts 80 to 100 miles per hour. several inches of rain, several inches of mountain snow. now tapering off to more or less just spotty showers from seattle, medford, oregon, eureka, california as well. we do still have some mountain snow but now the big story is the high winds, especially all across the rockies where we do have high wind warnings and watches and wind advisories, too. we still could see wind gusts upwards of around 50 miles per hour, especially in the highest elevations. want to point out also that it is not just very windy but it is also extremely dry. humidity levels are low and with the warm-up we're seeing, we could see any fire that develops spread very, very quickly. this includes denver, dodge city, up into north platte, amarillo, texas, santa fe, new mexico. those are all areas with the red flag warnings in effect for the day today. again we will see some of these spotty showers trying to move eastward. not really helping out the red flag area but good morning, i'm

we're back at 7:41. we're starting out a special "rossen reports" series called "is it worth it." first up, that expensive bottled water. >> you like tap? >> i do like tap. >> i do, as well. do you really need to pay for bottled water or just it safety just as good straight from the tap? "today" national investigative correspondent, jeff rossen, set up a test to find out. >> we're going to test your palates by the way. we'll see if you love tap. by the way, tap water has been in the news recently with some cities reporting lead contamination. but experts say in most of the country, tap water is not only safe, it tastes really good. still, so many of us love that feeling of getting bottled water. you see on the label words like

they're both putting pennsylvania women at risk. even after trump bragged about sexually assaulting women, toomey stood by him. on women's health - both trump and toomey would defund planned parenthood. on abortion: trump: "there has to be some form of punishment" toomey: "i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey and donald trump: too dangerous for pennsylvania women. c'mohappy birthday! i survived a heart attack. i'm doing all i can to keep from having another one. and i'm taking brilinta. for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin. no more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack.

or dying from one. it worked better than plavix. >>don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. >>talk to your doctor about brilinta. i'm doing all i can. that includes brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. i survived breast cancer. if the doctors hadn't caught it early i might not be sitting here. so i'm outraged that pat toomey voted to defund planned parenthood... which thousands of pennsylvania women depend on for cancer screenings. pat toomey was even willing to shut down the federal government to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. shut down the government over planned parenthood? i think we ought to shut down pat toomey.

they said was from you. it was krispy kreme doughnuts from harry connick. you were on my local news show when i was 15. >> you were 15 working at local news? >> no. i'm kidding. my age. no. chicago. i was a local news anchor, fox chicago. we had krispy kremes sent to us. >> how many krispy kremes could you eat in a sitting? >> i ate the entire box. what's in a box? took me the whole two-hour show and i ate the entire box. >> you don't realize until after the fact. >> terrible decision. >> there's a dozen in a box. you actually went and opened a second box zp. >> i busted open a second box. >> i busted open a second box. >> so this part of the show, harry, we go through these different topics that people are talking about all around the country. one of them is beyonce. since you are one of the greatest performers of all time -- >> oh, thank you. >> could you survivor the this?

she was performing and her ponytail got hikdooked in her earring. blood started spilling down her ear. she never stopped performing. what's the craziest thing when you wanted to stop? >> i just remember being on stage when you have bronchitis or you have the flu. and the people who have paid money to see you really don't care. you have to give them their money's worth. that's something i used to talk about on "american idol" a lot. the lot of the kids would come on and say i don't feel well. my theory is, well, if you're well enough to be here, then don't tell us. you have to go ahead and do it. if you're sick, you should stay home and take care of yourself. but beyonce i think is a tremendous performer so it is not a surprise at all that she just defendaidn't make a big de. >> does your ear hurt? >> couple of months ago -- i

still can't wear earrings. >> your ears are not pierced? >> yeah. but i've never had one rip out of my ear before. >> you mean it ripped through the lobe of her ear? >> mine was almost through the lobe and we had to get this guy to sew both of my ears up. i still can't wear nearrings. >> how many earrings is too many? my daughters are old enough to decide for themself. they say i want a double piercing. i mean how many earrings -- >> i have one, two, three, four on this side. >> four. >> i have two on this side. but i want five. i don't think there is a limit. >> just whatever you're feeling. do you ever wear four on the air. >> >> i do. i let this one close up because every time i pick up the phone to answer, i hit it. it hurts. it hurts. >> do you sleep with those in? >> yeah. seems like a lot of work to take them all out. >> these i leave in. hopefully next week i can finally get these pierced again. >> you sleep with them and

everything? >> i sleep with them. >> it doesn't hurt when your head's on pillow? >> sometimes. i got to cope with it. cope with it. >> we got a double take for you this morning. >> aren't you proud of me for trying to understand? >> you genuinely seemed interested in this conversation. >> i am. >> you are outnumbered in your house. >> jill is in the house. georgia, my old elest, is worki with me on the show. charlotte is my middle daughter. and kate my younger daughter is in school. three tfemale dogs and a female cat. >> you don't have a choice. >> i don't have a choice in the matter. i haven't had a choice since i met my wife. that was 26 years ago and i have been choiceless since. i got y'all, brothers. >> you're interested in earrings. >> so this we saw this morning. it made us do a double-take. thanks to our friends at

really crispy. >> that's hard to do. >> i'll start with a breast that has the bone and the skin. it is hard to buy boneless skin-on breasts. we're going to take it off which is a really simple technique. a sharp paring knife, cut down along the ribs here. >> is this just a simple one-two kind of thing? >> yeah. basically just follow the curvature of the ribs. >> that's intimidating, to be honest. >> you are intimidated right now? >> little bit. little bit. >> it's really simple. >> you cook a lot, tamron? >> i do cook like four times a week. i've never gotten comfortable deboning. >> you can't buy a breastbo, boneless with the skin? >> no. >> come over and poke it 30 or 40 times in the skin. this is a key step. you have a lot of fat under here and you have to render out the fat giving it a bunch of channels to come out. we also want to add salt and

want the salt to have a good place to go. simple so far. the next thing is we want really good contact with the skin and the pan. that's how we get it crispy and we have a round chick een breas. >> right. >> that's no good. pound it out. harry, i'm sure you have really bad days. come home, take it out on the chicken breast. >> that sounds appropriate. >> you can write a song about it or you can pound a chicken. >> i already did. don't worry, that's what i do. >> so you pound it out. >> yep. then we're going on to this rack over here. we all know that chicken breasts can dry out pretty easily. >> yeah. >> which is a big complaint. there is nothing worse than when the chicken is dry. >> first we're going to season it ahead of time with some salt on both sides. >> the pounding it out is the best tip for ame because it is rounded and it is that one piece that gets burned. >> i'm going to ask harry connick jr. to put this in the

fridge for me. >> that's a once in a lifetime thing. >> there is one in there that's been in there for about an hour. >> keep it in mind when you make this recipe, it does require one hour refrigeration. plan ahead. >> up to eight hours. do it ahead if you want. >> got it. >> i cook on cast iron almost all my meals. >> cast iron is great. we're actually going to use the classic 12-inch skillet which is super versatile. we're going to get some good sticking. we'll get that brown bits that are going to go into a sauce. you can use olive oil or veg oil as well. >> you want this chicken to come back to room temperature? >> no. start with the chicken cold. put the chicken in cold. cold pan, cold chicken. >> cold pan, too? >> cold pan, cold chicken. >> which is all news to me. i would have gotten the oil hot. >> which is what you normally do. what's great about this method, it actually goes back to some classic french technique. >> harry, you should know that.

you speak french, you told me. [ speaking foreign language ]. >> you heard that in my earpiece. >> you get it hot. >> we're going to put over medium hot. we're going to take this cast iron skillet and put it on top. >> way out of my league. >> you're going to go seven to nine minutes over here. flip it over. that's basically going to be done. >> the heat is high-medium? >> medium heat. these guys go over here. we'll use this great pan. drippings right here to make the sauce. >> what do we do with that? >> this looks like a roux. >> it does look like a roux. for dan's recipe, go to today.com/food. looks like a roux. as harry pointed out. >> yep. just do a little bit of browning and softening on that shallot there. then we're going to build our

sauce which is a little bit of the brought. we've got the brine from the pickled cherry peppers that we're using. >> harry, dig in. tell us what you think. we also have sauteed mushrooms. >> man. >> delish? >> yeah. >> really re-inventing chicken breasts. >> thank you, dan. dylan, i was wondering where you are. there's food and you are nowhere to be found. >> i'm all the way downstairs. it looks delicious though. let's take a look at what's going on for the week ahead. we are still going to see some scattered showers in the pacific northwest, isolated thunderstorms through wisconsin today. then as we get to the middle of the week, the midwest gets most of the scattered showers and storms. by the end of the week it is going to make its way into the northeast. temperature wise, it is going to be a warm week. we are looking at much above average temperatures. about 20 to 30 degrees. most likely breaking some records early this week. the below-average temperatures in the middle of the week out west will be replaced by

this revival? >> we're still in the early days, so we're still kind of going, oh, okay, here we go. a bit nervous and we're still rehearsing during the day. but i think it is going really well. people seem to be enjoying it, don't they. we're sort of finding our feet with it and really starting to have serious fun. be naughty and dangerous and all the things they're supposed to be. that's good fun. >> were you guys ever overwhelmed during the rehearsal process? what i understand is that y'all didn't have a whole lot of time to prepare for this and the amount is dialogue is immense. >> i have never called line in my professional life once. calling line is when you can't come up with a line and you call line and someone hopefully reads the line to you. on our first preview, i broke that and i called "line" about halfway through the show. i must have taken like a seven or ten-second pause which on stage is an eternity. >> sure. what's the limit?

like ten seconds, i'm out, i need the line? >> it's pride. i'm never going to do it. after ten seconds i just went, line? i didn't say it loud enough so the girl didn't hear me so i had to do it again. line! she couldn't understand what i was saying. i actually called "line" three times. >> i tried to help him out. i really did. >> what did you do? >> his first line was something he missed was maybe belle rush can do it. >> how about the rush? >> that's terrible. >> horrible. >> liev, i read that -- or i think you heard you say at one point that you were aching to act this play with janet. where did that come from? was it just from seeing her? >> from watching her work. i've seen her work. i watched her work a number of

times. but then something sent me a video of the production that she did in london when she originated this production, and i don't know how to describe that. you just see somebody. i think the best metaphor is like sports. i think people might understand that. you see another athlete doing something and you go, i want to play. i want to work with them. i want to do something with them. i was right. there is -- we have a similar kind of athleticism about acting. we have a kind of tenacity and a kind of energy and wit and it's -- it's just we're really well matched. i'm having the time of my life. >> janet, your turn. she's like let me soak it in. yeah. the same. i'd seen liev on stage. obviously in his film and tv stuff. he's just a brilliant, brilliant actor and i thought that would work. that's fun. that's dangerous. >> it was magical. it was so incredible.

>> being able to finally have like level eye contact with a woman. yeah. >> you're very tall. >> you did first walk out and i thought am i sitting low or are you just very tall. >> no. i'm really tall. people follow me on streets. women do this all the time. they look at me, they see me coming and they always do it, they always look at my feet to see if i'm wearing shoes. >> see the things you learn on this show? thank you so much. this is "today" on nb c.
