so we are thinking of him. this morning on "today's take," tina fey is here, and on the front lines of a dark comedy called "whiskey tango foxtrot." then the bomb shell confessions by tennis star maria sharapova that shocked the tennis world. and padma lakshmi dishes on next. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today".

i've got to say, it's spring like outside. beautiful. getting into the 60s today in new york city. >> 70s tomorrow. >> 73 according to my thing here. 73 the next day, yeah. this thing right here. natalie is on assignment. tamron, i like the jam. going back. >> willie told me to wakeup, which i'm not sleeping. we've been up for hours now, but this will get you going. >> any reason for it? i have no complaint. i love this song. >> it's one of the songs when i'm in the gym, the few times i go, or if i need to, you know, going. >> missy is back on the scene. >> she is. >> good to have her back. >> fun person to follow on twitter is missy elliott. she sends out great clips of dancers, just killing it. especially now we're coming into wedding season, graduation season, you're likely to be invited to a party. go on missy elliott's twitter account and get one good move that you can bust out. >> most people aren't really -- >> try it in the mirror first.

>> never hurt anybody to try. >> remember will smith? this is where you live. >> if you want to be a little greater than there -- >> rarely works out. >> for those of you who want to learn, go to missy elliott's. there you go. >> great show. padma is here. tyne daly is here. tina fey we'll talk to in a few minutes. a jury awarded sports reporter erin andrews $55 million. the jury found a nude video filmed of andrews in 2008 at the national marriott at vanderbilt did cause her emotional distress, as she claimed, and both the stalker who took it and the hotel are to blame. the man who filmed the video is responsible for 51% of the money, or over $28 million. the hotel group that owns the franchise must pay for the rest, about $27 million. erin releasing a statement saying she was honored by the

their outreach helped he stand up and hold accountable those whose job it is to protect everyone's privacy and security. owners of the hotel said they were committed to providing a safe and house pill spitable environment for guests and employees. i guess the number, $55 million, is what jumps out. >> this guy, he doesn't have any money. in fact, he's reportedly said it was part of the reason he did it, to try to sell. savannah is a lawyer and talked about how it works through the legal system. it's a voice for anyone who felt victimized and known. my heart was broken when erin said she'd get tweets from young college girls saying, i want to be like erin andrews except for that on her part. it's devastating. to have your parents there, you're crying, and everyone has seen it and people have gone

whether she gets money or not, she's got the victory of saying, i will not allow someone to make me a victim. >> yup. >> so powerful there. >> you know, none of us can understand or appreciate what it would be like to have been exposed publicly that way. >> so sad. >> hope she can move forward. another story we're talking about, and whether or not maria sharapova can move forward. this bomb shell yesterday. she openly admitted that she failed a drug test before the australian open back in january. now, she says that she tested positive for meldonium. meldonium. >> it's a drug apparently used to treat heart trouble. it's not approved by the fda, a supplement of sorts. it hasn't always been banned, but just this past january was placed on the list. here's what she had to say.

i did fail the test, and i take full responsibility for it. i can't blame anyone for it but myself. no matter who i'm working with. i don't want to end my career this way, and i really hope that i will be given another chance to play this game. >> sharapova said she'd been taking it for ten years and she was getting sick a lot, getting the flu every couple months. she said she didn't look at the updated banned substances list, taking the blame for not viewing an e-mail link that goes out to all the players. she's been the highest paid female tennis athlete for more than a decade, earning around $23 million. i'm curious about the reaction from some of her endorsers. like nike. people have been praising her, saying an athlete who stepped up, she could have said, i have a staff that's supposed to pay attention to this. >> i tend to believe what she says. >> nike suspended its relationship with her.

>> i think the suspension is the key term here. they haven't ended the relationship. i think they'll let her get through this. if all goes the way they believe it will, i think they'll come back to her. >> couldn't they say, like al said, it's our belief that she's telling the truth, and we stand with her on this, unless evidence presents otherwise? >> good question, if other people have done that when some of the men with the steroids -- have their endorsement deals been suspended? they lost them but -- >> steroids was illegal. this substance was until four months ago. >> not like she just started taking it. she's been taking it. >> i don't understand. >> i think the way she handled this buys her a lot. >> instead of through a spokesperson. hay hey, here's the deal, boom. she's also supposed to represent

>> this says my name, but i thought of you yesterday when i saw this peyton manning story. >> okay. i don't know why. >> good looking guy. >> okay. peyton manning officially announced his retirement yesterday. had been reported by espn the day before. he made it official, fighting back tears at a news conference in denver. >> i love the game. so you don't have to wonder if i'll miss it. absolutely. absolutely, i will. when i look back on my nfl career, i'll know without a doubt that i gave everything i had to help my teams walk away with a win. there were other players who are more talented, but there was no one who could out prepare me. because of that, i have no regrets. i've fought a good fight. i finished my football race. after 18 years, it's time. god bless all of you.

>> bless football. peyton played 18 seasons and holds more nfl records than we can begin to lay out in this segment. won league mvp five times. when he won the super bowl and hoisted the trophy, you had the feeling that if you were going to go out, if there was any question, you want to go out the way he did. >> has any other quarterback won the super bowl with two different teams? >> i should know the answer. probably. >> i'm sure facebook.com/"today's take." >> google it. >> that was such a beautiful speech. we showed some of it. we talked about calling his brother, you know, after the game, and their relationship with their father, obviously. beloved quarterback, as well. it's so sweet and so vulnerable. >> that's what i think players miss. the little things. shaking tom brady's hand, calling eli on the bus.

>> guess what? freddie freeman has done a little something special for you. he's autographed a braves jersey. it is on the way to your home. what do you think? >> he's so cute. >> that's better than a bat, isn't it? >> oh, my goodness. >> right there. >> there you have it. you have your jersey and you have a dad who is a bona fide super hero. >> he has an "s" under the shirt. this was your first baseball game. what do you think? >> my first baseball game was amazing. >> i would say so. >> sean and landon, thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. >> glad everybody is okay. >> happy birthday, bud. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> he loves freddie freeman.

i read kurt vonnegut when i was younger and wanted people to actually want to read about the war. a lot of things you saw over there was absurd and the only way to capture it was dark humor. >> tina, you're portraying a real person in the movie. you know kim. was that weird for you? >> i knew it wasn't a biopick, so i didn't have to daniel day lewis it. >> she was shadowing me for months. >> i slept in kim's bed with her she didn't know. i got in after she was asleep and out before she woke up. hard work. >> impressive. >> we wanted to get the culture and military stuff right, as best we could. my only regret is kim is -- how tall are you? 5'10"? >> 5'10".

from talking about insecurity to talking about the struggle to become a mom. how difficult was it for you to open up in this way? >> it was really difficult. other than having my daughter, it was probably the hardest thing i ever had to do. it was like having a baby, except she took less time to come out. it took me over four years to write this book. i can't believe you're holding it in your hands. it was hard, but i wanted to do it. even when it was going to be a healthy eating book, i wanted to use the details of my life and illustrate philosophies i have about food and motherhood. i think we all need to have an open discussion as women, as immigrants, as women of color, as mothers, about our bodies, about work, about the fact that, you know, sometimes it takes longer to become who you're going to be. >> it's true. you mentioned your daughter. in the book, you talk about, at

and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily p and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. p xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. r get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto ,

any kidney, liver, you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us. pask your doctor about xarelto . introducing the fusion of exceptional taste our probiotic yogurt. new activia fruit fusion, bifidus regularis. delicious and good for you. new activia fruit fusion. why am i a fan of applebee's fan favorites quesadilla burger? it's a burger... inside a quesadilla. genius. hot... melty... cheese. fresh... pico de gallo. woah. mind blown. everyone's a fan with applebee's
