we'll get lauren michaels to produce my traffic as well. you're a great producer. the north bay, what we're doing friday morning early and this is a smooth southbound drive through 101 and the map shows you the area southbound out of petaluma, no problems for visibility or speeds. highway 37 over from vallejo. through the east bay, highway 4, a tiny bit of slowing, a small segment. it's going to hold on for the next half hour or so. a big issue out of antioch across bridge closed in the northbound direction. closures continue as they work on the that roadway for the next few months or so. the golden gate bring no work being done except for moving the cones. can't catch the flashing lights for the crew. looks like they are getting ready for the commute. back to you. >> still ahead on "today in the bay," authorities say what started as a home invasion ended in a deadly shoot-out in san jose. we'll have an update. >> renewed hope as an end to the blood shed in the ukraine is in sight. what the country's president is saying right now. it's knowing beyond a doubt "you g

and according to the show's creator lauren michaels, members of one party are more thin- skinned thanhe other. this is what loren michaels said. republicans are easier for us than democrats. democrats tend to take it personally and republicans think it is funny. i once appeared on saturday night live and i had a great time. were they making fun of me. of course, it is the point. it is it a comedy show. i am grateful for loren michaels for telling the truth. the fact is republicans have a good sense of humor. and i find it is the democrats that typically get overly sensitive about everything and anything. they can't take a joke. they can't take a punch. and always offended and want someone to apologize for everything. let me join loren michaels and say to the democrats, lighten up guys, take god more seriously and take yourself less seriously. that would be my advice. and so why would the academy that originally nominated a song for a oscar drop it from consideration. is it religious demonstration. the story and sippinger is next. cannons all night long. back to huckabee. >> (applause)

. >> over the summer i had a chance to see lauren michaels. i got introduced to him. he said i know who you are. you're not mad about that thing we do, are you? i go no. i thought i would be smarter and skinnier. he told you, you heard they're not doing us any more? did you hear that? >> no. but they haven't done it for awhile. maybe when you saw lauren, it was like oh man, i saw brian kilmeade, we've got to lay off. >> yeah. there's nothing funny about that guy. >> he's got a tender spot. heather nauert, good morning. >> good morning. you guys are very funny this morning. i do have a clip for you, it is funny. first we've got other news. a convicted killer waking up behind bars after escaping a maximum security prison in michigan. now investigators are trying to figure out how david michael elliott managed to break through two electric fences. >>> police releasing a 911 call from a woman he kidnapped after he escaped but listen to how calm she is. >> 911. >> [inaudible] -- in indiana. getting gas. i'm being held -- i'm hostage to an escaped convict. >> you're being h

lauren michaels saying that fallon is the closest thing to carson. >> michaels is a bit of a genius. i'm not going to argue with his opinion. jimmy is sure, young, he's collegeiate looking, funny, add-libs, that is different than just being funny. in addition to that. and he's witty and appealing. >> he can sing, does impressions and he's multitalented and more of a variety show. >> johnny was a dear friend of mine. but there are more talents in mr. fallon in terms of impressions, voices, of dialects, musical skills, and good sense of handelling a guest. he would never step on your punch line. a terrible thing to happen. that is like a waiter, like that was no lady that was, want more coffee. when the host does that to you, you want them dead. he's likable. unpretentious. will that help the transition going better than the one with conan? >> that was one of the strangest misadventures. jay in, jay out, jay back, jay high ratings, therefore out, conan was bruised by all of that, i think. >> this is going to go more smoothly? >> it should. there is nothing blocking it. i don't see what

it was like the lauren michaels opinion shapes the world awards.show" and amy and tina are hosting and --. it was just like -- >> jimmy: it's bizarre. >> it was awesome. >> jimmy: but i'm so happy for you. did you think you were gonna win? >> no, i really didn't. i mean, i generally like to think if there's a chance i'm going on a stage, i'll come out, like, with a joke. >> jimmy: yeah. you didn't have a joke? >> i had nary a joke to speak of. [ laughter ] but i did want to thank you, jimmy. i think the next day i got a delivery from jimmy. and it was a little thing of flowers and it was like, "hey buddy." and it came with an envelope, and it said, "congratulations. i only ask that you don't spend this all in one trip." and i opened the envelope and it was a $5 gift card to subway sandwiches. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you deserve it man, congratulations. >> i was like, "you know what, i really have made it." >> jimmy: yeah, you really did. you made it there, buddy. [ laughter ] the olympic ceremonies were earlier on tonight. are you into the olympics?

take, for example, lauren michaels, who's run snl forever and now runs jimmy fallon's new show.s nothing funny about president obama when he came on the national scene until the debates became so obvious between clinton, hillary clinton and obama that they finally started making fun of him. recently he said the reason they don't make fun of democrats as much as republicans is because republicans actually take being the butt of the joke better. really? >> well, look, here's the stats so everybody knows. the only late night guy that tells more jokes about republicans than president obama is letterman. and then leno was way, way mocking the president over republicans. the rest of them are. but i think you both make a good point, that they don't get personal about barack obama. when they go after him, it's because the computer doesn't work -- >> that's right. teleprompter. >> or something like this. but let's face it, you can't make personal comments about the first black president of the united states. you just can't. >> which is what the man wrote about. >> and he's right, absolut

so this is also going to be the lauren michaels era going forward. >> we have a social media questiongo hermela. >> i wish i could care about len on's last week but haven't we been there and done that enough already. even after 20 plus years with the tonight show leno's farewell seems mooted compared to carsons, do you think it's because people said goodbye once before? >> i do. and he does have a loyal audience and i am sure they'll misimpressiomiss him. it's a mainstream audience that doesn't have the social media influence anymore and doesn't have mean allies in the big city media either. you are not seeing the sort of morning that wenmourning with sg and johnny leaving. there is not as much drama. this time but we all wish him a great happy retirement. he's a great working, going to be available in standup all around the country and i am sure he will be back on nbc in some for him at some point. >> let's turn from the end one era to being days way from the fifth anniversary of the beginning of another one. the beatles first appearance on the american television, on the ed sullivan

obviously ralph lauren, michael kors, steve madden.il that's convenient for you to go to, you're going to keep going there. online if you're not a player that is building your online business, you should be out of business because that clearly is a giant future of retail. >> on the promotions idea we've seen so much of it throughout the season. are retailers training customers to expect this? in other words, can they get back to a world where it's not 50%, 40% off? >> i don't think they'll ever get back to that but i think this year was a little bit unusual. they tried to do all these big promotions in november and december so it was, like, an early christmas for everybody when january came. everybody was shopped out. and the weather contributed in january. >> the other question i have is online. i mean, you hear howard schultz, for instance, of starbucks talking on his conference call about the fundamental shift in the way consumers go out and shop and he said what you saw in december is going to be indicative of what you're going to

but let me turn to this other case, the michael dunn verdict, and, of course, you mentioned this earlier, lauren, a shooting case with jordan davis playing loud music on the car. michael dunn was convicted on some counts, but there was a mistrial on one count. don lemon, here is how he reacted. take a look. >> i am absolutely pissed because it's none of your business. >> it's absolutely ridiculous. i think there needs to be a mind your business law that goes along with the stand your ground law. >> this is an anchor who set aside all measure of objectivity and he acted on air as judge, jury and executioner, condemning the defendant as guilty saying it was an open-and-shut case. >> my goodness. >> old, white guys trying to claw their way back from obscurity by attacking other people who speak out against this happen this? >> young lady. >> i don't think it's about whether or not someone is attacking him. i think it is about the question of what is a journalist. and is a journalist an objective asker of questions, as chris cuomo was, or is he a political commentator, which is what we're seeing wit

>>let's start with ralph lauren, a name that has become synonymous with the olympics. michael kors, by the way, had great numbers. so what does this mean for rl? >>rl is going to report here and they are historically a strong stock on earnings. the stock has rallied 5 out of the past 8 quarters with an average move of around 4.5%. that's pretty much in line with what they're implying now. they're implying around a $13 move to the upside or to the downside. looking at the chart we really see a breakdown in january. the stock has come off from its opening print of the year just below 180 quite a bit here with an upside target of 68 for earnings. i think on a risk to reward basis it sets up better for me for a long. we saw kors report great earnings. i think that's good news for rl. i think the stock heads higher on earnings. >>what about estee lauder? will things get pretty or will they get pretty ugly? >>actually when you look at the historical move in estee lauder it's pretty mixed4 for 4. it ralled 4 times and sold off 4 times over the past 8 quarters. it moves on average aro

. >> michael kors is 27 sell-off. ralph lauren, 18. tiffany, 21. >> valuation hasn't been a concern yet. if they miss, that's what everybody will be talking about. i think the trade is you wait and see what happens, as i've said with a number of stocks. you hope they miss. hope they knock it to below 70s. then, take a shot on the long side. down 4% on the day, you're in no man's land. >>> at&t, dropping its data plan prices. and the stock drops, as well. shares falling nearly 4%. making it the worst performer on the dow today. tim? >> you can't own wireless companies when there's predatory pricing in their sector. this has been going on in the u.s. for a few months. real predatory. and you have a company that i've said many times, for the last year and a half, should have had the wind at their back. this is not a name you can jump into. this goes around globally. not just in this country. this is a place where you're whittling out competition. therefore, the competitors that want to go after each other have a better job to do it. i wou

michael proved to be a genius. i would be the last to argue with lauren's opinion.my is young, he's cole eejate looking in his way, as he was. he's funny. he can ad lib, which is different to being funny. he can - he's a white fellow. he's appealing. >> he can sing, he can do impressions. do you think that will help him? >> johnny, as they say, "a dear friend of mine." there are more talents in mr fallon, in terms of impressions, voices, dialect, musical circles and a sense of how to handle a guest. he would never step on your punchline, a terrible thing to happen when you. it's like a waiter. what would be - that was no lady that was my... want some more coffee? when ahost does that, you want them dea dead. >> i see you would not want fallon dead. he's likeable. do you think it may help the transition go better than the one with conan, which is a disaster. >> what you alluded or referred, it was a misadventure. jay back, jay out, jay earlier, jay back, jay high ratings. it doesn't make sense, and conan was bruised unmercifully by all that, i think. >> do you think
