[ laughter ] >> all right. >> reporter: wow. that is good stu

david letterman. let me show you that. >> i have made jokes about you not just one or two.g here and there. intermittent. but -- >> i didn't know this was going to be this long. >> so, i mean, he's handled it, he's laughed along. and i can tell you, you know, i've had cartoons and all done on me when i was heavy. and you can learn not to let it bother you. but his children, as he said, it's another thing. what started me dieting was my youngest daughter. i didn't care what any commentator said. my youngest daughter ashley said, dad, why are you so fat? i went on a diet that day. >> that's a motivation. >> yes, that is a motivation. >> i call it offensive. but go ahead. >> really. what was up with that? >> right. >> i truly wish him luck. it's tough. this is not necessarily the best way to do it, either. maybe you will give him some health tips. because people gain the weight back after this surgery. it's going to take a lot of work and will power. >> will power, discipline, that's key. but politically, krystal, his approval rating is high. even among groups that normally do

then he was on david letterman. asked the same thing. obama -- the president said, here's what happened. you had a video that was released by someone who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who is extremely offensive video directed at mohammed and islam. for two weeks they carried on this fiction. remember, in the light of a presidential campaign, this fiction that it was not -- that it was a hateful video that inspired a spontaneous demonstration. even two weeks later before the u.n., the president condemned hateful videos. so for him to say as he did in the presidential debate against mitt romney that he had called it a terrorist attack that morning simply is contradicted by the facts. unfortunately, during that debate, that falsehood was corroborated by the moderator. something i've never seen in all the presidential debates i've ever watched. >> yeah. that was pretty extraordinary, actually. you're right. in terms of transparency and -- and flow of information, can you characterize how that's changed? i mean, whether you look at,

and the doughnut incident with david letterman was kind of like my good-bye.gh so much of this over the last 20 years, that i'm not taking any victory lap and i'm not preaching to anybody. i know how hard this is. >> the surgery was supposed to happen back in the fall. but then something happened that shook the state and the nation and up-ended the governor's life. >> we're starting to see water coming up on these duns. this thing is just getting wound up. >> hurricane sandy smashed the coastline. the ocean came right ashore. and riding this stretch of beach still closed off to prevent looting, it's almost more apparent now six months later that sandy hit in katrina-like proportions. we're driving along here and you find optimism here? >> i do. you know, the pilings are coming in, the worldwalk will be built here, will be all done here by memorial day. and you know, you see things happening and rebuilding. so yeah, i see hope. i absolutely see hope. >> though it's harder to see hope farther on up the beach. remember 350,000 new jersey homes were either damaged

when he was on david letterman, he poked fun at himself, ate a doughnut. he peld a press conference, asked about losing the weight. he said, be assured there is a plan. whether it will be successful or not, you'll notice. are people noticing and is that why he copped to us? >> as a matter of fact, mike simons and i, the co-author of the book, were talking about it the other day. he seems to look a little slimmer than he used to. >> when we talk about him revealing this in "the new york post," the governor said i've struggled with this issue for 20 years. for me this is about turning 50 and wanting to be there for my children. for someone who's written about the governor, do you think that's the fact or do you think that that's just a consideration in the larger picture of possibly running for 2016 presidential ticket? >> i'll take him as ath his word he's concerned about his health and that he hears a lot from his family and other people, but it's a twofer for him. his political supporters can say look what the guy did, overcame a great obstacle he's been

his family just days before the procedure in february, the governor joked about his weight with david lettermanly, the healthiest fat guy you've ever seen in your life. crazy. absolutely crazy. >> there's your campaign poster right there. you know, that's not bad. >> our first read team notes, we know the issue of his weight has been discussed with him by supporters and consult dlanlts and it is something he needs to deal with in some form if he ever did decide to run for national office. joining me live, senator political editor mark murray. not to name drop but i was on with bon jovi and chris christie. you see him there and he was talkative and engaging. people were stopping him. he is incredibly popular. he says this is about his family. but we as journalists have to ask the other question that goes along with that. >> people are always looking for clues to 2016. we don't know if he will run for president yet. but this sign, the weight loss surgery often sends these 2016 signals. this happened in the lead up to 2012. remember, former miss governor haley barber, if i lose a bunch of weight,

. >> the doughnut incident with david letterman was kind of my -- my good-bye. >> your curtain call? >> it was. dave, obviously, didn't know that and nor did anybody else. i needed to do something. i did not want to take the risk of becoming unhealthy and the ramifications it would have for mary pat and my four children. i still have children in elementary school so i have a long road here as a father and i don't want to miss any of it. >> willie, i wish -- we should have talked to him. i wish he could have held this back and said a book that he read that caused his decision. >> he's in the book. we talked about his options a few months ago doing research for it. >> coincide? i think not. >> during obsessed week he comes out. mika said, read my book, right? >> no. i actually have a friend in the book who was a step before having that surgery. i know how serious it is. i'm happy for him. he saved his life. >> i'm not saying i'm not happy. >> it's amazing. i don't know how he did that secretly! >> we talk about advice c and cocaine and speed and a lot of pills, right? chris said i'm no

. >> reporter: after years of listening to david letterman poke fun at his weight, christie got in oneks after his surgery. >> i didn't know this was going to be this long. >> reporter: on tuesday there were more late night laughs at christie's expense. >> new jersey governor chris christie has revealed back in february, he had a secret lap band surgery. which explains why there's been so much food in new jersey lately. >> reporter: christie sought advice from bariatric surgeon dr. george fielding and consulted rex ryan, the new york jets head coach who had successful lap band surgery himself. >> the biggest thing about it for me is i'm just not very hungry anymore. that's a huge change. >> and you can see more of brian williams's interview with chris christie on "rock center" friday night at 10:00, 9:00 central time on nbc. >>> coming up, talk show wendy williams as a professional after your local news. me. thousands of cancer patients can't afford a place to stay when the best treatment is far from home. a room shouldn't be the difference between life and death. let's make sure that
