this morning on "today's take," who is tv's highest paid actress? the answer might surprise you. then tamron is on the hunt for secret eats and i'm rocking a rickshaw all over new york city. you'll never guess who i pick up along >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, tamron hall, and billy bush. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today" on this thursday morning, september 15th. billy bush, tamron hall. al still on the road. making it happen. >> making college dreams come

happy birthday to tamron hall. >> it's tomorrow! >> well, you're not going to be here. >> you have my number. >> i could call you tomorrow. >> you can call me. >> i gave you a little gift this morning. >> he did. billy gave me the sweetest card that he labored over in the card store. i didn't bring it. it was so beautiful. then you gave me this secret eye cream. >> yeah. >> it is a serum. i'm obsessed with skin products and he knows that. >> my wife said give this to tamron. i promise you it is a little eye cream. i use it, too. by the way, the bags on the eyes -- >> do most guys use eye cream? >> i don't think any guys. just me. >> tv men. well, thank you so much. favorite thing. >> you're going somewhere? you're not here tomorrow so you are taking a long weekend. what's going on? >> i'm going away on a plane. >> who's going? >> people. >> mom? >> on a plane with me. no, not my mom. >> oh.

>> people are going. it is going to be an enjoyable vacation in the sun. it's not -- full disclosure here, it is not that i'm being secretive about ply personal life. tammy, our executive producer, says people are always asking are you dating. i'm weeding out. i'm narrowing down. i have a couple -- two guys that i really like. >> this is big. both >> both of them aren't on the trip. i've got two guys in my life that i really like. i think when you are ready to commit, you want to make sure. >> i think you should take both of them on the trip and bring one rose and one of them gets it and the other one gets left behind. >> see, i'm more of a game of thrones. fight for me. let me see how smart you are. how far can you throw that ball? i'm more competitive like that.

you are dating someone, you happen to enjoy someone else's company. you aren't sure if either are the right one. then your birthday comes up and you're faced with this dilemma. but i'm going to work it out. >> speaking of two men. we have two menteed up here. unfortunately they are both the wrong men because they are both taken. but in a perfect world where you can imagine one of your favorite guys is josh duhamel >> i can't be there but i wanted to get you something really special. what i was thinking was -- how about that? yeah? yeah? maybe authentic solid gold london bridge? yeah? no? >> he bought you a bridge, tamron. >> josh duhamel knows who i am?

wear. every morning he watches. >> josh duhamel, top of the list. >> not the list you gave us last week. >> no. but that hall pass or whatever. >> you said hall pass number one, mcsteamy. roll it. >> hey, tamron. eric dane. sending you some love all the way from madrid, spain. no, just sending you a big happy birthday. next time i'm in town i'll stop by 30 rock and give you a big smooch. >> okay. but if i had a hall pass -- because it was named after me -- those are my two. >> those are your two guys right there. >> did i get them in the right order? >> i don't want to make a competition. they're -- they're the cat's meow. >> you got a smooch coming. >> thank you. thank you, guys. thank you.

right now the donald taped a segment with dr. oz yesterday in which he shared the results of his physical examination performed last week by dr. harold bornstein. remember that? he answered questions about his health. take a look. >> why not share your medical records? why not -- >> well, i have really no problem in doing it. i have it right here. should i do it? >> you're 6'3", 236 pounds. in my mind i'm thinking your body surface area and your bmi is high. lose weight. it's tough because of the way i live. but the one thing i would like to do is be able to drop 15, 20 pounds. >> everyone wants to drop a little pound here and there. the donald is a hefty fella. >> the other doctor -- if that weight is the correct weight, then is he overweight. think a lot of people relate to that. i think what he said about eating fast food, because it is

there is an olive garden in it the middle of times square. people go to what they know. how he gets his exercise -- >> he doesn't exercise. >> he said on the campaign trail, moving his hands counts as exercise. >> he does a dainty little thing like this. when he's making a point he does this. i'm thinking that burns at least an eighth of a calorie. >> i have my fitness pal. i'm my arms and see if that counts. i thought that was an interesting answer to the question. >> by the way, i love he's like, should i do this now? we should all carry our medical records in our inside pocket all of the time. he, by the way, could not control himself. he's held off long enough commenting on hillary. he was at a rally yesterday in ohio and took a little pot shot. >> i don't know, fox follks, yo

this? i don't think so. she's lying at home in bed and we want her better and back on the trail. >> we want her better and back on the trial. like she's lying in bed. he's painting a picture. incapacitated. >> he's blown up the line that she is napping, she doesn't have the stamina. so many people thought that that was behind him, he wouldn't use that kind of comments. but clearly it's game-on. hillary clinton released mor somewhere around 20 specific things about her health from cholesterol to all of the details. also gave the clarification what kind of pneumonia she has, a non-contagious bacterial infection. she is on levoquin which i was on when i had a similar issue. this is a risky move for dr. oz.

of missouri was on nbc "morning joe" a few minutes ago slamming dr. oz. just feeling that this is a very serious issue and that she compared it -- >> he's not just a tv doctor. >> he's a real doctor. >> he is a practicing cardio thorascic surgeon. >> but he was brought in front of congress at a hearing about some of the claims of products that he's made. my point is not to make this about dr. oz or litigate his issues, it's when you get into politics. when we chat about it on the show, you are instantly in the crosshairs of at least half of america. >> he said what he saw on those two pages. we'll see it later on today, is basically what you would see from a ceo taking over a company and he thought it was enough for donald to be -- lead the country as president of the united states. he's in good health. that's what he said. >> that's what he said. >> hillary, she followed up very

hemoglobin, glucose levels, cholesterol. she's obviously doing it. it is the war of transparency. >> do you want to know? this is the question a lot of people are asking. do we need to know that much about the health? >> yes. >> do you? >> for president? yes. we need -- if he's our -- or she is our president. who is the highest paid actress on television? this is surprising. it is not who is number one that surprises me. it is who is number seven. i'm surprised let me tell you that, every day my challenge is to be in sync with my body, with myself, with my life. it all starts with a healthy routine. that's why i'm taking the activia two week probiotic challenge by enjoying activia yogurt with billions of probiotics every day. because when my routine is in sync, i can face any challenge. so take the activia probiotic challenge!

lactating. posing in laingerie is nothing more than attention getting. >> i'd love to be a mom one day. that's not how i picture. my friends when i've gone to visit the next day, some have still been at the hospital. many are in the bed. whole focus is breastfeeding and getting rest. she probably did that before and after the picture. but my friends that i've seen, they -- not that they're they gave birth. that you went through this emotional and physical transformation. and taking a selfie in lingerie probably is the last thing they want to do. >> this woman -- enjoy your new baby. not social media. then again, if she wants to make a point, make it a point. >> i get why other moms would look at it and say -- is that a realistic view of what was really happening in her day and her life.

insta life. those are pictures you put on instagram to show a certain part of your life or portray a certain life. when she says she wants to promote image, was that really what hilaria's day was really like or is that an insta like. >> olivia wilde was on the subway and she got very mad at people that wouldn't give her a seat because she is extremely pregnant. she goes, nbd, able-bodied riders who won't give your seat to a giant preggo. >> this is a viewer who sent this to me. sharon stokes. she has a picture of marshon, the football player, he's on ba bear grylls' show. now this is man spread. >> this is a disease on the subway. >> it is a disease on the subway. try to get next to that. >> now you are making me

weather? >> we have that tropical system off the coast of the carolinas. over the next um can of days, it only moves east at 2 miles per hour so the whole thing is just going to meander out over the atlantic right here. we're not going to see a whole lot of rain. maybe just some lighter showers along the coast of north and south carolina but it is more the rough seas, rip currents that you'll's notice if you're at the beaches. that's the biggest concern from here on out with most of the rain out over the water and maybe a quarter-inch >> c >> good thursday morning, everyone. starting out with a mix of sun and clouds, and we have a much more fall-like feel in the air today. back to 70?. and upper 60s at the klein klein with an onshore flow. cool and clear tonight, low 40s in boston. sweatshirt, light jacket heading out this evening. cool start to the weekend saturday morning.
