prince made a rarv appearance on the arsenio hall show. he performed the song *funk 'n prince also answered some reply questions from arsenio's audience. >> what really annoys you? >> strangers touching my hair. >> that would be annoying. >> i cannot relate to that. prince also played his classic "she's always in my hair", and a new cut of the song "mutiny." >> need to cut it out. >> lindsay lohan is clashing with oprah ... and oprah isn't happy. this promo was released ahead of the debut of lohan's reality show on *own. the series follows lohan as she tries to get her life back on track. but from the looks of things -- it's not going well. "lindsay" debuts this sunday. of the know oprah could swear like that. but again she can do whatever she wants. >> surely 10. let's take a look in our day. temperatures are coming up. we're cooler than normal today. we make 30 this afternoon. sun and clouds today. sunshine early friday. fred is high as 43 with potential for light rain and snow. now for traffic. >> is heavier than normal about kennedy at

richard nixon faced them after appearing on "laugh in" and richard clinton for playing sacks on arsenio hallincoln would never have gone on "funny or die." that's true but that's best also because news then was disseminated by individually printed newspapers delivered on horseback. a new nuanced approach is now the hallmark of any advertising campaign. me? i thought the jokes on "between two ferns" were lame. and i say, it doesn't matter if 4 million sign up, it's who those 4 million are. the economic viability of the affordable care act is dependent upon having a sufficient number of young invincibles enrolled to offset those who have pre-existing conditions. that was the target audience on "between two ferns" not me and not bill o'reilly. no, the intended audience was 26-year-old kaitlyn. and judging from her e-mail, the president hit the target. thanks for watching. please come back next saturday. >>> it is good to see you. we're always grateful for your company. good saturday to you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. 10:00 here on the east coast. you're in the "cnn newsroom." ♪

it is the arsenio hall show, and anybody who is alive today will remember this. is this glamour?is? let's watch. [video clip] ♪ [applause] [cheers and applause] ♪ >> that is in the middle of the campaign. >> yes, that is interesting, and i have not watched that since about 1992 or 1993, because i do not normally think of bill clinton as a glamorous figure, and we can talk about that more. i think of him as a charismatic figure, a highly charismatic figure, and that is different, but, yes, i would say there is a lot of glamour going on, and first of all, he has got sunglasses on, and sunglasses is one of the best way. >> why? >> well, it is mostly because they create mystery. you are not completely hidden. you can still see your face, but there is that sort of mystery and distance, and we talk about jackie and her sunglasses, and he is very graceful. and the other thing which is nowadays hard to remember is how young he seem in 1992 in a positive way. he did not seem young as in not ready for president. i read never talking to my sister-in-law who was a big fan of the clinton-gore

maybe bill clinton, the most he did was to go on the arsenio hall show.hat's become a custom for politicians to appear on the late night talk shows. they may be kidded a little bit but they're treated with a lot of respect. this is a rinky dink little web show between two ferns? >> they counted those two in the healthcare.gov enrollment numbers, i heard. >> i think you would have to say in terms of television appearances, this was slumming in terms of the kind of program it was. so i just think that, you know, there's a price to be paid when you do things like this, if you look at the numbers, it doesn't look like they got very much out of it. and, of course, this all occurs on a day when there's a lot of emphasis on the enrollment numbers and they're disappointing from the administration's point of view. i think it's a little hard to call this a big success. >> i have to ask you to comment on this david jolly win in florida, where you have been for the past -- feels like years, that you've been down there, but your thoughts on this -- >> i wish it were.

bill clinton did it on arsenio hall and people worried. president obama has dignity, so he's not really putting it at risk. when he went on the show "between two ferns," i'm not superhip to ityself, but web traffic surged. it's working for them. and they need the young people. we're at a stage in the healthcare enrollment where they have some legity. they're not where they want to be but it's sustainable. where they aren't yet is with young people, and the young people will pay for this thing. so what they have to do, ellen degeneres or whatever plane you choose, he has to do that. >> a great political consultant says you pick cherries where cherries are. you don't go to the am or charred to pick cherries. this is what barack obama is doing. we're long past the day when the president could talk to 65% of americans by going on the evening news. this is a niche-driven, fragmented, segmented television-media market and, to reach people, they have shows they watch -- i don't think barack obama could be accused of being unpresidentle. i mean, h

former president bill clinton took his sax to "arsenio hall." and president george w.s president, young people have always been key. and of course, young people helped president obama get elected back in 2008. and 2012, you can probably expect to see more of those mom jeans, so. back to you guys. >> something to look forward to. kristen, thanks. >>> we're helping you save money with big discounts on items you might not normally think would be on sale in march. we'll tell you about it. first, this is "today" on nbc. i'm going to go back to sleep now. >>> still ahead, a million-dollar worldwide vacation and you don't have to spend a dime on it. >> sign me up! >>> plus, making a difference in >> sign me up! >>> plus, making a difference in your waistlin your hepatitis c.forget it's slow moving, you tell yourself. i have time. after all there may be no symptoms for years. no wonder you try to push it to the back of your mind and forget it. but here's something you shouldn't forget. hepatitis c is a serious disease. if left untreated, it could lead to liver damage and poten

he shared his pet peeve on the arsenio hall show. >> strangers touching my hair. >> that is disturbing. >> point to self, don't touch prince's hair. however, he might cook for you. believe it or not, prince makes an incredible omelet. >> really? >> i have not had it. >> what's so incredible about it? >> it's like his hair. it's light and fluffy. >> have you touched his omelet? >> i have. we're going to have prince come and do a cooking segment. >> very good. we'd love it. >> i'll make waffles for you. >> and that is "what's >> this morning on "snl today," we are talking to lena dunham. might be underselling her abilities. at just 27 years old, she isn't just starring in the hit hbo show "girls," she created it, writes it, produces it and directs it. and now she can add something else to that impressive resume. she'll be the host of "saturday night live" later this week. i got to sit down with her about her big debut. >> i hear you love "snl." >> i love it with a passion. is obsessed too strong a word? >> no, it's not too strong of a word. and being here in this sp

clinton intimated that when he played the saxophone on arsenio hall. >> we got to wrap things up.to their resume? >> naturally it's going to happen. kids rebel against their parents and if your parent are acting cool at the age of 50 with board shorts and nose ring hopefully every kid will end up like tucker carlson. >> "not cool," funny book. >> it's number one in new zealand. i'm lying. >> the kiwis love it. >> great to see you this morning. congratulations on the book. >>> coming up here on the show a fox news alert on that missing malaysian plane. china saying its satellite spotted possible debris. co: i've always found you don't know you need a hotel room until you're sure you do. bartender: thanks, captain obvious. co: which is what makes using the hotels.com mobile app so useful. i can book a nearby hotel room from wherever i am. or, i could not book a hotel room and put my cellphone back into my pocket as if nothing happened. hotels.com. i don't need it right now. when my son was born, i remember, you know, picking him up and holding him against me. it wasn't just about me
