david walton is here, the star of the show. >> we were talking about earlier, hoda and i were talking about men and ideal height. >> stand up. just for fun. okay. i like it. >> this is about a man and a shorter man. >> by the way, we had minnie driver on a month or so ago, she talked about you like you were the second coming. she said you got to meet this guy. he's this guy who has been in the shadows, and finally exploded. did you expect this thing to be such a hit? >> i didn't. i mean, i did, i thought it had an incredible team, but you never know, like the tv gods are a little fickle as we all know. but i think the reason the show is so well received is that you kind of feel like you have a big hug at the end -- you feel better at the end of the episode than you did at the beginning. and i met a guy, a 300 pound former hell's angel and he said to me, the key to life is ten hugs a day. >> no. >> i love that. big old biker said that? >> yes. how many hugs have you had? >> i just had one with you, and one with you this morning.
