three hours. >> reporter: it's something they tried out on me. >> at your current position, if i was to go up to one of your colleagues, matt lauer, let's say, and ask him to describe you, what do you think he would say? >> i think he would say he's a good co-worker, a little bit of a flatulence problem, and would be somebody you could depend on. if it seems different than your normal 9:00 to 5:00, that's the point. >> we're living in a different world than 50 years ago. the world is different. the fact that our employees in new york and california, 50 years ago, they wouldn't know each other. now they talk to each other every single day on video conference. they're friends. the work force is different. i think the problem is employers didn't adapt. and it made millennials say wait, this isn't the way the world works. >> reporter: author of eof a bo t

8:25 am
to be successful. that's the key. >> reporter: another reason to think that a shift in work culture may be coming. in our survey, one-third of respondent said they started their own company or plan to in the future. it's an interesting group. i have a millennial at home, and her idea is she wants more flexible hours and wants to run her own business. >> i always said a lot of millennials are entrepreneurial. and i think that is a distinction. >> that's also one of the ways you get your own hours and working conditions. start something yourself. for the record, i would say great family man, dependable, hardest working guy i know, especially in this place, and you underestimate yourself. >> well, thank you. >> i mean in flaflatulence. >> so close to a compliment. >> more tomorrow. al will sit down with more millel

8:36 am
although, people have always told me do without it. what about seafood? >> this is sponge off the marinade and cook them slow and low. take your fish out of the fridge and have it be closer to room temperature so you're not getting the cold fish to hot from the inside. look how clean your grill is. >> yes. >> that's one of the things they talked about in the study. get that black char off the grill surface. that's not good for you. >> yes. it's true. you want to get a brush, clean it. i take a towel, a little bit of oil, and wipe the grill clean. like you're wiping a table, any surface you cook on or with, you're going to do the same with your grill, and then here if you have steak and a little bit of char on it, you've done all this stuff but ended up with it, just trim it away. i

"nashville" is a rich world. it can go on indefinitely. >> connie, thank you. >> i thought the ending was beautiful, i'm a big fan of your work. not just because you mentioned my influence on you. >> that has a little something. >> a little something to do with it. >> i understand that. >> any chance of a "friday night lights" redo? >> kyle chandler said it was because of me that we are not doing a reunion, and i thought all this time it was because of him. my feeling is, listen, if he wants to do a reunion -- >> you're open to it? i
