00:00How you guys make this work day in and day out?

00:02I don't know if there's a secret.

00:03I just think that you can't even explain chemistry.

00:06It's just that either you have it or you don't.

00:09Chemistry can look really good on paper,

00:10and then you put the people together, and it doesn't work.

00:14I think we look good on paper, and it actually works.

00:17And I think we all come to the table with different strengths and different...

00:21Different backgrounds.

00:21Yeah, different backgrounds.

00:23We complement each other very well.

00:25And there's moments in the show where we know we can have fun,

00:28and we really look forward to it.

00:30When we can lighten the mood a little bit,

00:32not just for the viewer, but for each other.

00:34And it gets a little giddy on set when we know that the segment is coming up.

00:38Like, talk at the table, for example.

00:40I'm looking at Tony. He's looking at me,

00:42and I know Tony's going to come with the story that's going to make me chuckle

00:45and be informative.

00:47That's the best part of working with people that you enjoy working with.

00:49You had a good one today.

00:51What was it today?

00:52I have cats know their names.

00:54Yes, yes, yes.

00:55And they know your name.

00:58And they're listening to you.

01:00They're just pretending not to listen.

01:01A lot of it is his delivery, too.

01:03No doubt.

01:03But we just have a good time.

01:04And listen, we're not a comedy routine.

01:06And I believe that you can have fun and be funny and not be silly.

01:10There's a difference.

01:12Corny sometimes works, but I think you can have a great sense of humor.

01:15But we also know when it's time, you know, to be serious.

01:18Like this week, Tony was in Buffalo on the scene there.

01:21Me and, you know, telling those stories, too, that need to be told.

01:24And that's what I like about morning television.

01:26You get a whole big range.

01:28I mean, and look at these people.

01:30Don't they look like nice people?

01:31Don't they look like they play nicely with us?

01:33This looks like a winning team.

01:35Let's get a nice shot.

01:36How about that?

01:37Yes.

01:37Not bad at all, right?

01:38I do want to ask, what is one story happening in the news right now that isn't getting as

01:42much coverage as you think it should?

01:44Fortunately, we have tremendous ability to cover what we'd like to cover.

01:47So we're getting it all in there, really.

01:49I can't think of anything.

01:51I mean, there are things.

01:52Obviously, it's a two-hour show.

01:53You can't go three hours.

01:54But I don't get up and say, God, we really missed a boat on, you know, X, Y, and Z.

02:00I actually think we do a pretty good job.

02:03I think we do.

02:04And finally, we are celebrating media.

02:06We're celebrating New York.

02:08How would you describe New York in three words?

02:12Gee, you know, dirty, hot, sexy.

02:18Ooh, I like that.

02:20Sexy, we love it.

02:21You started off a little shaky, then you brought it around.

02:23Dirty, hot, sexy.

02:24And that's spot on.

02:25I said incredibly powerful place.

02:30Gritty.

02:32Gritty.

02:35Powerful.

02:35Okay, all right.

02:38But magical.

02:40Ooh.

02:41Love it.

02:42It really is.

02:42It's a magical place.

02:43I'm not kidding.

02:44Every day I come to work, early in the morning, I say to the driver just about every morning,

02:48isn't Times Square amazing?

02:50That's right.

02:50When you're there in the morning, I mean, I get out of the car energized when you drive

02:55through and you look at the ads.

02:56I know people said, Stephen Colbert said to me, well, Gail, they're supposed to smile in

03:00the ads.

03:00I get that.

03:01But there's just something about Times Square in the morning when there are very few people

03:05there.

03:06It does feel very magical to me.

03:08It is.

03:08Don't you?

03:08And the people who are there are having an experience.

03:12Because, you know, it's five in the morning and they're like, ah!

03:14We get to go there every single day.

03:17And that, to me, is a magical moment every single day.

03:20And I guess the only way we can end this is, do you believe in magic?

03:24All right, I'm going to, all right, now we're out of here.

03:25Good talking.

03:26All right, yeah.

03:26Thank you guys so much.

03:28Take care.
