00:00:02Good morning, Corning!
00:00:03I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your day.
00:00:06Let's take a look at the weather.
00:00:07We have a cold front from Lake Huron heading southeast over Buffalo,
00:00:11bringing Arctic temperatures and, more importantly,
00:00:13a chance for me to finally break out that parka I got on Black Friday.
00:00:17Until then, expect highs in the mid to low 40s.
00:00:20Well, thank you, Ted.
00:00:21So, any exciting plans for the holiday?
00:00:24I'm glad that you asked slash read that off the teleprompter, Ken.
00:00:27I'll be heading two hours north to my hometown of Lackawanna,
00:00:30where my older sister is planning the Gingerbread Invitational.
00:00:34What's the Gingerbread Invitational, Ted?
00:00:36Thanks for asking, Ken.
00:00:38It is an event that gathers the best gingerbread bakers in the state
00:00:42to help raise money to build a new children's wing in the local hospital.
00:00:45So, all week, I will be delivering heartfelt and shameless promos
00:00:48encouraging everyone in the area to come out and help support a great cause.
00:00:53Thank you, Ted.
00:00:55Now, let's get real for a minute.
00:00:57You have a legendary run of bad luck at Christmas over the years.
00:01:02Oh, I think legendary is overblown, and we don't need to get into it, Ken.
00:01:06Well, didn't you almost burn your house down last year?
00:01:09Indeed I did, Ken. Grease fires are no joke.
00:01:11No, they are not. And the year before that, I believe you got attacked by a possum
00:01:16who was living in your Christmas tree.
00:01:17Yes, yes, indeed I was. But in all fairness, I was the one who chopped down his house,
00:01:22put it on the roof of my car, and drove it down the highway.
00:01:24So, who really got the worst end of that deal?
00:01:27And didn't you, the year before that, get a disease so rare that they actually named it after you?
00:01:36Yes, yes I did. Symptoms include undeniable charisma and effortless charm.
00:01:41All kidding aside, if you suspect you have Ted Cooperitis, seek immediate medical attention.
00:01:46Well, you know what, Ted? I'm not sure that I would share your enthusiasm for the holidays.
00:01:51Oh boy, you are such a Grinch, Ken. What's not to love? Christmas is a time of coming together and
00:01:56celebrating,
00:01:57and it just brings out the best in everyone. And sure, I have had a few tricky, maybe problematic,
00:02:05potentially horrendous Christmases in a row. But that luck has to change eventually. So why not this year?
00:02:11Well, I wouldn't bet the farm on it, Ted. And speaking of farms, coming up, an unlikely friendship
00:02:18between a horse and a cat that you have to see to believe. And we're clear.
00:02:25Love the new hair, Ken. If I didn't know any better, I think it was your own.
00:02:29It is my own. Hey, Ted? Ted?
00:02:53Hey, thanks again for letting me promote the Invitational, Jerry.
00:02:55Whoa, I should be thanking you. Not a lot of people watching weather reports on TV when they get weather
00:02:59on their phone.
00:03:00Yeah, I like to think they care about hearing their weather from a trained professional.
00:03:03Oh, Teddy boy, they care about you. Yeah? Is that why you took a shot on me?
00:03:09You know what? It doesn't matter. The fact is, you did. When no one else would. And I appreciate you
00:03:15for it.
00:03:15Well, my intentions weren't as pure as they might seem. Viewers also like tuning in around Christmas to see what
00:03:20could go terribly wrong.
00:03:21Yeah, yeah. I still maintain that Santa Does the Weather would have been a great segment had that chimney been
00:03:27a little wider.
00:03:28Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Hey, did WDTP give you a call yet?
00:03:31Yeah. Actually, they called this morning.
00:03:33So, did you give them an answer?
00:03:34No.
00:03:36No? There's a lot to think about. I mean, they're the state's biggest network outside the city.
00:03:40I'm happy here. You guys are like family.
00:03:43Hey, hey. Whoa, what's going on here?
00:03:46Flip that back over.
00:03:48What is this?
00:03:51Everyone's taking bets on what's gonna happen to you this Christmas.
00:03:54What?
00:03:55Hmm.
00:03:58This is dark, guys. Come on. Impaled by a reindeer antler?
00:04:03What?
00:04:03Who took that bet?
00:04:06Janice?
00:04:07Ken gave me 500 to one. I couldn't pass up those sweet, sweet odds.
00:04:10Also, guys, seriously, why is me kissing a beautiful woman less likely than getting impaled by a reindeer?
00:04:17Fifty-one people are rooting for me to choke on a chunk of fruitcake. Joke's on you clowns. I don't
00:04:22like fruitcake.
00:04:23Also, not funny to root for me going to jail. I would do horribly in jail.
00:04:27You know what? None of this matters anyways.
00:04:29Because this year, ha-ha, this is the year that old Ted Cooper's Christmas bad luck finally turns around.
00:04:36Losing a lot of money, folks.
00:04:41You smell great.
00:04:43I know.
00:04:44Uh-oh.
00:04:53Uh-oh.
00:05:04Uh-oh.
00:05:07Uh-oh.
00:05:11Uh-oh.
00:05:28Baby, brother!
00:05:29Hey!
00:05:32Hi!
00:05:33I have been waiting for half an hour.
00:05:35Can we go?
00:05:36Absolutely.
00:05:37Where are we going?
00:05:37Going to sleep.
00:05:39Going home.
00:05:39Not in that order.
00:05:40What?
00:05:40Kate, no.
00:05:41That's boring.
00:05:42I just got into town.
00:05:43Let's go have a drink.
00:05:43Ted.
00:05:44Kate.
00:05:46Kate.
00:05:47Fine.
00:05:48We can have one drink, a small one, maybe a festive shot.
00:05:52Shots.
00:05:52I love where your head's at.
00:05:54Shot.
00:05:54So many shots.
00:05:55Singular.
00:06:04Where is my tag?
00:06:06There are fresh towels and a brand new toothbrush upstairs because I know you always forget everything.
00:06:12You know me so well.
00:06:13Your suitcases on my table.
00:06:15Just give me a second.
00:06:17Something's not right.
00:06:21Yikes.
00:06:22I must have had the same kind of suitcases as that girl on the bus.
00:06:25Should I be worried about you covering the fundraiser with everything that happens to you every Christmas?
00:06:31What?
00:06:32No, this isn't a setback.
00:06:33This is an opportunity to try out some new looks.
00:06:37I mean, oof.
00:06:39Oh, come on.
00:06:41Sugar.
00:06:42What?
00:06:43These might actually fit.
00:06:44Wow.
00:06:51Good morning.
00:06:53Hey.
00:06:54Wow, that is a very pink sweater.
00:06:57That girl had good taste, right?
00:06:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:00What do you do it up?
00:07:01I am making us breakfast.
00:07:03Since when do you make us breakfast?
00:07:04You made me breakfast my entire childhood.
00:07:06The literal least I can do is make you the occasional omelet.
00:07:09Aw.
00:07:10Uh, you're gonna go shopping today, right?
00:07:13Because your first promo is tonight, and, um, I'm not sure that, uh, that's the vibe.
00:07:18I am not going anywhere until you try that omelet.
00:07:22Oh, okay.
00:07:26Mm.
00:07:27Uh-huh.
00:07:28Fluffy and delicious.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:30Secret ingredient is love.
00:07:32Hey, I couldn't help but notice the alarming lack of Christmas lights on the house.
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37I've been really busy.
00:07:38Really?
00:07:39That's strange.
00:07:40You haven't mentioned that in the last three minutes.
00:07:45You're wearing a pink crop sweater.

00:38:32Costume, you say?
00:38:34I worked on that the whole way here.
00:38:37I love that you arrived in character.
00:38:40Why are you here right now?
00:38:42Kate called me. She said there was a costume party. I had to come.
00:38:46Oh, did she? Yeah, okay. Well, that's great.
00:38:50No, it's just that the party doesn't start for another hour.
00:38:52Oh, uh, I thought you said six.
00:38:56Huh? I did?
00:38:58Oh, I thought I said seven.

00:39:22Will you give me a minute?
00:39:23I have to talk to Kate real quick.
00:39:26Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:39:28Ow!
00:39:29What?
00:39:30What are you doing?
00:39:31You didn't invite her to party.
00:39:32How do you know that?
00:39:33Because I saw the ring footage of you leaving a thousand messages.
00:39:36That is an invasion of privacy.
00:39:37You picked the one place on the entire property.
00:39:40That's right in front of the camera.
00:39:42And what I saw dead, it was bone chilling.
00:39:45It was like watching a car accident in slow motion.
00:39:47I froze up.
00:39:49I didn't know what to say.
00:39:50It's because you like her.
00:39:51Oh, of course I like her.
00:39:52Have you seen her, Kate?
00:39:53She's smart and funny and beautiful.
00:39:55And she's great with kids.
00:39:57Why are you trying so hard to set us up?
00:40:00Because I am your sister.
00:40:01And I love you and I want you to be happy.
00:40:03Fine.
00:40:04I love you too.
00:40:05Get out there.
00:40:10Hey.
00:40:11Hi.
00:40:12It's so nice that your sister still lives in your family home.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16She bought it for my dad when he retired to Arizona.
00:40:18Hmm.
00:40:20Well, tell him hi.
00:40:21Not that he'll remember me.
00:40:24Who couldn't forget you?
00:40:24Look what I found.
00:40:26Mind if I take a look?
00:40:27Go for it.
00:40:28Our yearbook.
00:40:29It's been a minute.
00:40:31Uh, uh, what?
00:40:33What?
00:40:34What is your quote?
00:40:36I'll spread my wings.
00:40:37I'll learn how to fly.
00:40:38I'll do what it takes to touch the sky.
00:40:41Kelly Clarkson.
00:40:42Hmm.
00:40:43Really regretting that one now.
00:40:44Hmm.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:45Let's see yours.
00:40:47Certainty of death.
00:40:48Small chance of success.
00:40:50What are we waiting for?
00:40:52Gimli.
00:40:53Who's Gimli?
00:40:54What?
00:40:54Are you kidding?
00:40:55From Lord of the Rings?
00:40:57Brave.
00:40:57Warrior.
00:40:58Dwarf.
00:40:59Loyal.
00:40:59Stubborn.
00:41:00What?
00:41:00Hmm.
00:41:00I could see that.
00:41:02Okay.
00:41:03Nice burn.
00:41:05Alright.
00:41:06Hope Newberry.
00:41:07Most popular.
00:41:08Smartest.
00:41:09Most talented.
00:41:10Most likely to succeed.
00:41:13Were you on the yearbook staff?
00:41:14That feels excessive.
00:41:16Yeah.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Ted Cooper.
00:41:19Most likely to report the weather at a mid-sized TV station.
00:41:24That is bizarrely accurate.
00:41:26Wow.
00:41:31Aww.
00:41:33Look at these cuties.
00:41:34Aww.
00:41:35Still how we are to this day.
00:41:36Us against the world.
00:41:37You two seem close.
00:41:39Yeah, we are.
00:41:40Kate kind of pulled double duty as big sister and parent.
00:41:44Oh.
00:41:45Our mom left when we were young, so she really stepped up and helped raise me.
00:41:50To this day, she still blames me for her premature frown lines.
00:41:53Okay.
00:41:59You were cute in high school.
00:42:05I was?
00:42:08I mean, I think we might have gotten along given you drew a big red heart around my face.
00:42:16Is that, what, is that what that is?
00:42:18Yeah, that's what it is.
00:42:19Whew.
00:42:23Why didn't you ask me out?
00:42:25Did you not see the superlatives page?
00:42:27I loved A.V. Club and science fair.
00:42:30It literally never occurred to me that a girl like you would be into a guy like me.
00:42:36Hmm.
00:42:40Well, I...
00:42:44I would've...
00:42:46really wishing we'd had this conversation when we were 18.
00:42:49Mmm.
00:42:54Are you still?
00:42:57Still what?
00:42:59Into guys who love A.V. Club and science fair?
00:43:07Ted, can you get that?
00:43:10Okay.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Let me grab my hat.
00:43:20Oh, Jacob Marley.
00:43:23Hi, everybody.
00:43:25Hi.
00:43:25Come on in.
00:43:25Drinks and snacks in the back.
00:43:27Dance floor is in the barn.
00:43:29Howdy.
00:43:30Lady.
00:43:31Sure thing.
00:43:31Hi.
00:43:32Okay.
00:43:33Did you all drive in the same car?
00:43:35I'm one.
00:43:36Wow.
00:43:36Party bus.
00:43:37Here you go.
00:43:37One car.
00:43:41I'm one car.
00:43:48My daughter.
00:43:55Now this is a party.
00:43:58See what I mean, girl?
00:44:00Whoop.
00:44:03I look great.
00:44:05You look pretty cool yourself.
00:44:07Thanks, yeah.
00:44:08Hi, everyone.
00:44:12What is it like being the big sister to New York's most likable man?
00:44:17Exhausting.
00:44:22Is he always like this?
00:44:24Pretty much.
00:44:27He just always likes to see the good in the world, you know?
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:31Well, it's admirable. I think I could use a little more of that in my life.
00:44:38Okay.
00:44:40Hi.
00:44:41Check out Tiny Tim tearing up the dance floor.
00:44:43I know. We were just singing.
00:44:47Who even is he?
00:44:48Where is he from?
00:44:50He's from my office.
00:44:54Losing his dick. Oh, my gosh.
00:44:56Oh, Tim.
00:44:57I don't think he needs that much.
00:45:00Nice and done.
00:45:01Whoa!
00:45:05All right, you two.
00:45:07Oh, no.
00:45:07It's time for you to get out on the dance floor and show Tim how it's done.
00:45:10I can't. I cannot.
00:45:11You've got to show Tim how it's done.
00:45:13You show Tim how it's done.
00:45:22Watch.
00:45:24I'll go low with it, too.
00:45:26I'll go real low.
00:45:27I'm going to come back up.
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:28Woo!
00:45:29Turn it to a slow song.
00:45:30Turn it to a slow song.
00:45:41Shall we?
00:45:48This your first time dancing with a snowman?
00:45:51It is, yes.
00:45:53How is it going so far?
00:45:57Is this your first time dancing with a Scrooge?
00:45:59Weirdly enough, no.
00:46:03It's our last time, no.
00:46:22It's your last song.
00:46:26tonight. Yeah, me too. Hey, I was thinking, um, nevermind. I, I bet you, you probably got to get
00:46:45going. Well, I don't, I don't have to go this, like this very second. I mean, if there's, oh,
00:46:54you go. It's, it's nothing. I can't wait. You sure? Yeah. Okay. Night, Dad. Night, Hope.
00:47:51Hi. Hi. I meant to ask you,
00:47:54something at the party, but I, um, chickened out.
00:48:13That was the extent of my ASLs.
00:48:17Is that a yes? Yes, that was, um, that was a yes.
00:48:26Okay, so far we have a intimate trip to the scrapbooking store and Salisbury steak and
00:48:31bingo night. Do we have any other date suggestions? Don't limit yourself to Lackawanna. Maybe get out of
00:48:37town for the day. Get out. Ruth Mittens, you magnificent angel. You just gave me an idea.
00:48:52Hi. Hi. Hi. Wow. You clean up nicely. Oh, I, uh, I just, um, went with Christmas theme. You look
00:49:01nice, too. Thanks. You ready? Yeah. What are we doing? Thought we'd have a little, uh, fancy dinner at
00:49:09Chez Henry. Chez Henry. Oh, I should change. No, I'm just kidding with you. You're actually
00:49:14perfectly dressed for what we're going to do. Okay. You're going to love it. Oh, ready. Yep. Okay.
00:49:21Okay. You're comfortable around horses, right? You're, you're joking, right?
00:49:47Oh. Greetings, fellow elves, and welcome to Escape from Santa's Workshop. My name is Brendan,
00:49:53and I, like you, I'm an elf. Sorry. I just got back to town. I was partying with my elf
00:50:05buddies all night. Didn't realize I was pulling a solo shift today. You're doing great, Brendan.
00:50:10Thanks, man. I've been working hard to get the toys built for Christmas, but Santa left
00:50:17without a toy. A toy for one of the nicest kids in the world. Your goal is to make it
00:50:22out of
00:50:22the workshop and use Christmas magic to get the toy into this child's living room before
00:50:28morning. You have an hour. You need help? Just say, Brendan, I need help, and I can give
00:50:34you a hint from the North Pole. Finally, Santa has a no phones in the workshop policy, so we
00:50:41ask that you leave him here. Santa's policy. The smartwatch. And the smartwatch. Yeah.
00:50:50Now Santa is a stickinger. Stickler. Exit out the back door, take a left.
00:50:56All right. Thanks, Brendan. You got it. Let's do this.
00:51:12Okay. Santa's workshop certainly got an upgrade. Yeah. Definitely not warm, cozy holiday vibes.
00:51:27You got it. You got it. Good. Yeah. Did you scream? I think I heard you scream. No, I don't
00:51:36know.
00:51:36Nope. Don't know. Wow.
00:51:39Okay, I got boxes.
00:51:40Okay.
00:51:43We got some switches.
00:51:48Oh, elves. Lots of elves.
00:51:54Hey, we got a blacklight over here.
00:51:58Okay.
00:51:59They have some kind of security ID on here.
00:52:02Okay, makes sense. Santa has a lot of top-secret tech.
00:52:05The elves need clearance.
00:52:07Yeah, makes total sense.
00:52:09Okay, there's arrows on the boxes.
00:52:12Okay, let's think. Six elves, six boxes, one toy sack.
00:52:18Yeah, maybe the arrows are a misdirect.
00:52:21Oh, that's good.
00:52:23Well...
00:52:24Hey, wait, do yours have a barcode on the back?
00:52:26Me too.
00:52:28Maybe they need to be scanned?
00:52:29Blacklight.
00:52:30Blacklight.
00:52:36Fifty-six.
00:52:37Ooh.
00:52:38Twenty-two.
00:52:41Eighty-four.
00:52:42Fifty-six, twenty-two, eighty-four.
00:52:43It's got to be a combination, right?
00:52:44There's got to be a lock.
00:52:45Lock.
00:52:46Hey, let's look for a lock.
00:52:48If I were a lock, where would I be?
00:52:52Lock.
00:52:53Lock.
00:52:55Nice.
00:52:55Okay, fifty-six, twenty-two, eighty-four.
00:53:04Okay.
00:53:06You want to reach out?
00:53:07No, I don't want to reach out.
00:53:08Yeah, fair enough.
00:53:11Oh.
00:53:12A teddy bear.
00:53:14Not just any teddy bear.
00:53:16A Christmas present.
00:53:19Toy sack.
00:53:20Toy sack.
00:53:34Ho, ho, ho.
00:53:36You have escaped from Santa's workshop with a gift in record time.
00:53:41Proceed to the Santa's sleigh lunch bag.
00:53:44What's up now, baby?
00:53:45Record time.
00:53:46What's up?
00:53:46We're incredible.
00:53:50Oh, okay.
00:53:52Keep your eyes peeled for clues.
00:54:02Oh, my gosh.
00:54:04Whoa.
00:54:05So this is how he delivers billions of presents in one night.
00:54:10Santa 5.0.
00:54:12Enter launch code.
00:54:14What was our code?
00:54:15Fifty-six, twenty-two, eighty-four?
00:54:17Yep.
00:54:18Not it.
00:54:19All right, we are looking for a new launch code.
00:54:22Okay.
00:54:23We got this.
00:54:24Hey.
00:54:25The sleigh has a license plate.
00:54:26It says baggage.
00:54:28Huh.
00:54:29Okay.
00:54:30I need baggage.
00:54:32Well, there's a giant toy sack.
00:54:33That's a bag, right?
00:54:34Good point.
00:54:37Okay.
00:54:38Anything?
00:54:39No.
00:54:40There's nothing else in here.
00:54:43Wait a sec.
00:54:47Baggage.
00:54:50Okay, hear me out.
00:54:51What if they're not letters?
00:54:53What if they're musical notes?
00:54:56Ooh.
00:54:56Mm-hmm.
00:54:57You're good.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:54:59Ooh, one problem.
00:55:01I can't read music.
00:55:03Can you?
00:55:04No.
00:55:05That's going to be a bit of a stumbling block.
00:55:07Let me hop down.
00:55:08Do you think, I mean, as much as it hurts my ego, we ask for a little help?
00:55:15Brandon, we need a clue.
00:55:17Brandon, let me help, buddy.
00:55:24It's, uh...
00:55:25It's taking a sweet time.
00:55:27Oh, man.
00:55:29Five.
00:55:30Four.
00:55:32Three.
00:55:33Two.
00:55:34One.
00:55:36Santa sleigh launch aborted.
00:55:38Christmas is canceled.
00:55:40Have a holly jolly failure.
00:55:43Wow.
00:55:44That was a little dramatic.
00:55:45Yeah.
00:55:50Brendan!
00:55:58Brendan!
00:56:03You know, I could think of worse places to be trapped.
00:56:07Really?
00:56:08Yeah.
00:56:09I could think of better.
00:56:11Somewhere with...
00:56:13food.
00:56:14Oh.
00:56:17Food, you say?
00:56:21You think this is funny?
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:24We can't escape from an escape room.
00:56:25It's a little bit funny.
00:56:27We don't have any water.
00:56:28Hmm.
00:56:29Or cell phones.
00:56:30Don't you have a promo first thing in the morning?
00:56:32Yeah.
00:56:32I've got to work.
00:56:33I think we're within our rights to be, you know, a little upset.
00:56:38Yeah, but being upset isn't going to help us get out of the room.
00:56:40So I'd rather count my blessings.
00:56:42Or inside.
00:56:43We have a very cozy place to sit down.
00:56:45Thank you, Slay.
00:56:46And my promo's not for 12 hours.
00:56:47We have plenty of time.
00:56:49Besides, I'm sure Brendan's going to let us out any minute.
00:57:00Let's see.
00:57:01Let's see.
00:57:01What have we got?
00:57:03Yep.
00:57:04And it's morning.
00:57:10Well, at least the, um, Slay is comfortable.
00:57:14You were right about that.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:17Company's not bad either.
00:57:20I wish I got to know you in high school.
00:57:23Yeah.
00:57:25At least we're getting to know each other now.
00:57:27Yeah?
00:57:27Mm-hmm.
00:57:28Then lay it on me.
00:57:30Give me the peek behind the curtain.
00:57:32Oh.
00:57:33Who is Ted Cooper?
00:57:35Oh, wow.
00:57:37Well, for starters, I am a codependent people pleaser.
00:57:41Go on.
00:57:42My therapist would tell you it is due to my mom leaving when we were young.
00:57:47My dad never quite recovering from that.
00:57:50And then my sister picking up his slack.
00:57:53And then me learning to make myself as small as possible so as to not create more work for
00:57:57the two of them.
00:58:00Upside is I'm fun at parties.
00:58:03How about you?
00:58:04Lay it on me.
00:58:05Listen, I don't know.
00:58:06I don't want the highlight reel.
00:58:07I want the baggage.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:09Um, this last year was a nightmare.
00:58:13Moved back here, I lost my dad.
00:58:16And I go between saving lives and being two cats away from becoming a spinster.
00:58:23I'm also three inches taller than I'm comfortable with.
00:58:27Ah.
00:58:28Just three inches?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:32No, but seriously, I could never do what you do.
00:58:38But it must feel nice knowing that your job literally makes the world a better place.
00:58:50I think you're amazing, Hope.
00:58:53Is this how you pictured the date ending?
00:58:56Weirdly enough, this is exactly how I pictured the date ending.
00:59:10Uh, hey guys.
00:59:12Uh, so sorry about that.
00:59:15Um, as an apology for the whole accidental captivity thing, how about a 50% discount next time you
00:59:21come back?
00:59:22It's nice, Brandon.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:24Good morning.
00:59:27Wow.
00:59:39Where have you been?
00:59:40Got stuck in an escape room all night.
00:59:42I hope.
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:43This is not a time for jokes.
00:59:44We're less than a minute.
00:59:44Not a joke.
00:59:45How's my hair?
00:59:46Yes, it's good.
00:59:46It's perfect.
00:59:46You look great, yeah?
00:59:48Break a leg.
00:59:49Yeah.
01:00:00Ted.
01:00:01Hello.
01:00:02You with us, buddy?
01:00:03Indeed I am, Ken.
01:00:04I am here live at the Lackawanna Community Center where there has never been a more beautiful
01:00:12morning.
01:00:18Thank you, Ted.
01:00:20And these local bakers are trying to set a state record for the largest gingerbread man
01:00:25in New York history.
01:00:26And why not a world record?
01:00:28Well, because the world record is over 32 feet tall, Ken.
01:00:31And we don't have the budget for that.
01:00:33So come on down and help raise money for the local children's hospital.
01:00:36I, for one, can't think of a more delicious way to raise money for a good cause.
01:00:40Can you?
01:00:43Reporting live from Lackawanna, I'm Ted Cooper.
01:00:46And we're clear.
01:00:48That was great.
01:00:49I love you.
01:00:49I am going to kill you.
01:00:51Where were you?
01:00:51I mean, I am very happy, but you did not come home last night.
01:00:54And I want to hug you.
01:00:55And I want to strangle you.
01:00:56Okay.
01:00:57I have conflicting feelings.
01:00:58Yeah, see that.
01:00:58Uh, listen, I, uh, I got stuck in an escape room.
01:01:01Like I said, I can't talk now.
01:01:02I love you, and we'll talk later.
01:01:06So, what are you doing with the rest of your day?
01:01:09Um, well, I have a shift.
01:01:11I've got to work till six.
01:01:13Oof.
01:01:13Ouch.
01:01:14Well, how about I call you after you get off,
01:01:18and maybe we can grab a drink
01:01:20or get stuck in another local establishment.
01:01:25Uh, we should be so lucky.
01:01:31Good morning, Hope.
01:01:35Good morning, Ted.
01:01:46Hey.
01:01:48Hey, look who's home.
01:01:51Keys, lover boy.
01:01:52I got places to be.
01:01:53And I am going to take a long winter's nap.
01:01:57Wait, quick reminder,
01:01:58you have one more promo this afternoon
01:02:00before the big event tomorrow.
01:02:01Yes, I will take a red chair.
01:02:03Wait, just don't get thrown in jail between now and then.
01:02:06No promises.
01:02:13That's Ted, isn't it?
01:02:15I mean, yeah.
01:02:20Wait, you like him?
01:02:22I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
01:02:25How many guys would take you to an escape room on a first date?
01:02:29Hmm?
01:02:30All right, Ted Cooper, you smooth operator.
01:02:33Mm-hmm.
01:02:34Wait, when are you seeing him again?
01:02:37Tonight.
01:02:39Well, okay.
01:02:40Well, guest dinner with me and the others is out of the question.
01:02:43Have fun with your plans.
01:02:44Okay.
01:02:53Deck the halls with boughs upon me.
01:02:56Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:02:59Tis the season to be joddy.
01:03:02Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:03:05Don, we now are gay apparel on a love of boughs upon me.
01:03:08You, Ed?
01:03:09Last day, Chuck.
01:03:11I wasn't expecting a limo.
01:03:12Well, surprise, surprise.
01:03:14Yeah.
01:03:15I'm taking the vibe in here, man.
01:03:17Why start a vibe to what I'm about?
01:03:18Crink those tunes back up, Ed.
01:03:20Right on, man.
01:03:20Boughs upon me.
01:03:22Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:03:25Tis the season to be joddy.
01:03:27Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:03:30So tomorrow, if you have plans, cancel them.
01:03:33If you have work, call in sick, and if you have a hot date, tell them it's not them, it's
01:03:37you.
01:03:38Because you'll be in Lackawanna at the Gingerbread Invitational.
01:03:41Back to you, Ken.
01:03:43Uh, thanks.
01:03:45Ted?
01:03:47Anything new?
01:03:48Because I'm not seeing any casts on body parts or missing teeth or any apparent symptoms of illness.
01:03:55I'm worried.
01:03:56Is everything okay?
01:03:58It's like I told you, Ken.
01:04:00It was only a matter of time before my Christmas bad luck turned around.
01:04:05That's not frosting.
01:04:30Hello?
01:04:33Hi.
01:04:35Um, sorry.
01:04:38I was, uh, looking for Ted?
01:04:41Ted!
01:04:41He's with me!
01:04:42We're going to a Christmas rave!
01:04:44What the hell is this?
01:04:47Uh, uh...
01:04:49It doesn't matter.
01:04:52You dropped your phone, Ted!
01:04:55My name's not Ted!
01:04:56It's Ted!
01:04:57And whose phone is this?
01:05:02Wait, another woman answered?
01:05:04You're telling me Ted Cooper's a player?
01:05:06Well, I, I mean...
01:05:08It doesn't seem like the kind of guy, but...
01:05:13Is he?
01:05:14Do you want me to track him down?
01:05:16Liam Neeson style.
01:05:17I have a very particular set of skills.
01:05:20Oh, that won't be necessary.
01:05:22Is it too late to join you for dinner?
01:05:24I don't want to wait around here.
01:05:25Oh, of course.
01:05:31Have you seen my phone?
01:05:32No.
01:05:33Do you want me to call it?
01:05:35Yes, please.
01:05:41Do you hear it?
01:05:43No.
01:05:44It's ringing.
01:05:52Voicemail.
01:05:53Ugh.
01:05:56Hello?
01:05:57Yes.
01:05:59Okay, that's fine.
01:06:00Why don't you take me through the problem first?
01:06:03All right.
01:06:03Kate.
01:06:03Yeah.
01:06:04Kate.
01:06:04What?
01:06:05Can I borrow the car real quick?
01:06:06Why?
01:06:07Because I told Hope that I'd call her.
01:06:09I don't want her to think I'm a flake.
01:06:09Okay.
01:06:10Okay, so is that...
01:06:11Hi.
01:06:11Is that a word call?
01:06:12Yes.
01:06:12Yes.
01:06:14Love you.
01:06:15I am so sorry about that.
01:06:17Yes, my phone has just been on the fridge lately.
01:06:20Okay.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:27I am so sorry about that.
01:06:28I am so sorry about that.
01:06:30I am so sorry about that.
01:06:31I am so sorry about that.
01:06:32I am so sorry about that.
01:06:32I am so sorry about that.
01:06:32I am so sorry about that.
01:06:32I am so sorry about that.
01:06:32I am so sorry about that.
01:06:33I am so sorry about that.
01:06:41I am so sorry about that.
01:06:45I am so sorry about that.
01:06:47I am so sorry about that.
01:06:53I am so sorry about that.
01:07:14Mind if I borrow your phone?
01:07:16Are you really calling her this early?
01:07:18Yeah.
01:07:22Come on, Hope.
01:07:23Okay, so I have ordered the ultrasound, the x-ray, the blood work.
01:07:35She's not picking up.
01:07:36Well, Hope's a doctor.
01:07:37She's probably busy.
01:07:40Speaking of busy, I have to go.
01:07:43Goodbye.
01:07:44Wait, wait, wait.
01:07:44Am I ever thinking this whole thing?
01:07:46Because it did seem like we were really clicking.
01:07:47Ted, I'm sure whatever is going on, if anyone can work it out, it's you.
01:07:51But if you make me any later than I already am, I will hurt you in ways you can't imagine.
01:07:56Understood.
01:07:56Okay.
01:07:57See ya.
01:07:57Wait, wait, wait.
01:07:58How am I going to call Carth on my phone?
01:08:01Walk.
01:08:02Ah.
01:08:02Mm.
01:08:03Whoa.
01:08:06Hug?
01:08:09No hug.
01:08:10Yeah, no hug.
01:08:10Okay.
01:08:11Bye, Ted.
01:08:12Bye.
01:08:14Have a great day.
01:08:17She can't say it back.
01:08:22Ted, we were trying to call you.
01:08:25Oh, I lost my phone.
01:08:26What's up?
01:08:27Well, the girls and I pitched in and, well, here.
01:08:33For me?
01:08:34Mm-hmm.
01:08:34Aw, thank you.
01:08:39No way.
01:08:42Aw, this is awesome.
01:08:46Aw, I got to pop this on right now.
01:08:49I'm part of the crew.
01:08:53Oh.
01:08:53Yeah, slow falling like I'm turning to y'all step out, looking ready, we're outside.
01:08:59Yeah.
01:09:01Yeah, it's a holiday flex.
01:09:04No stress, no stress, no, no.
01:09:07It's a holiday flex.
01:09:11Is everything okay to seem a little less enthusiastic than normal, especially given that outfit?
01:09:18Keep going, girls.
01:09:20We'll catch up.
01:09:22I assure you, it's not the outfit.
01:09:24The outfit is incredible.
01:09:26It's hope.
01:09:27We were supposed to talk last night, but I lost my phone, so I went to her house and I
01:09:30left a note, but she never called.
01:09:33I'm just kind of spinning out, wondering if she's having second thoughts.
01:09:36Mm-mm.
01:09:36In life and in love, there will be so many situations where you get your wires crossed.
01:09:42Don't assume the worst.
01:09:45It's just like in the movies.
01:09:46Young couples are always breaking up because of some silly misunderstanding.
01:09:50Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
01:09:57Yeah, they didn't break up.
01:09:57He died.
01:09:58Because they misunderstood how big that door really was.
01:10:03Don't fall into the same trap as everyone else.
01:10:06As Cher would say, snap out of it.
01:10:10You will talk to her again soon.
01:10:12I know it.
01:10:14Thanks, Ruth.
01:10:33Hello?
01:10:34Uh, hey, is this Hope?
01:10:37Ted?
01:10:38No, Ed.
01:10:39I found this phone on my ride this morning.
01:10:42I'm just calling all the recent callers trying to figure out who it belongs to.
01:10:45So wait, you've had Ted's phone since last night?
01:10:49Ted Cooper?
01:10:51I remember him.
01:10:52Sweet dude.
01:10:53I gave him a ride yesterday.
01:10:55Tell you what, if you can give me his address...
01:10:57Oh, I've done it again.
01:11:00Oh, what?
01:11:02What did you do?
01:11:03That thing.
01:11:04The thing that I do.
01:11:06Oh, I gotta go find Ted.
01:11:10So what should I do with Ted's phone?
01:11:12Yeah, yeah, I'll call you back.
01:11:14Hello?
01:11:15Hello?
01:11:24Hey.
01:11:25There you are.
01:11:27Where have you been?
01:11:29What are you wearing?
01:11:30Never mind, that doesn't matter right now.
01:11:32Well, actually, that's a whole thing.
01:11:35That's a lot.
01:11:35Is everything all right?
01:11:36No.
01:11:37I mean, it wasn't.
01:11:41I called you last night and this girl, she picked up the phone and she said she was with you
01:11:46and I, you know, I didn't know how to take that.
01:11:50I just, I realize that, you know, it's not like we're exclusive or anything.
01:11:54I mean, we've just been on one day.
01:11:56I was just like, that's not cool.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:11:59That doesn't seem like something Ted would do, but then you didn't call me, so I...
01:12:05Did you get my note?
01:12:07No, I...
01:12:08Yeah, I left a note for you on your front door.
01:12:10Well, a driver called and said that he had your phone.
01:12:14Ed has my phone?
01:12:16Of course you know the driver.
01:12:18Listen, Ted, I was so mad at myself for sitting around waiting for you to call that I just...
01:12:24I, um, I gave up and I do that sometimes.
01:12:30I do and I shouldn't and I'm sorry.
01:12:38What's so funny?
01:12:40Ruth, she called this.
01:12:41It's, it's a classic misunderstanding.
01:12:44When you thought I got the note and then I didn't call you, were you worried?
01:12:49Yeah, yeah, I was worried that you were having second thoughts, but now I'm just glad that we cleared it
01:12:52up.
01:12:53Well, no, I'm glad that we cleared it up.
01:12:55I, I think I'm just trying to talk about, you know, what we were feeling.
01:13:00Okay, yeah, I, I get that.
01:13:03Do you get that?
01:13:08Are, are you upset that I'm not upset?
01:13:13Well, no, I, I, well, now maybe I think I'm upset that you never get upset.
01:13:20I, I get upset.
01:13:21Do you?
01:13:22Because I, I feel like you're happy all the time.
01:13:24No, but even if I was, I mean, is there anything wrong with that?
01:13:27No, it's just, I, I think it makes it hard for me to understand you sometimes.
01:13:33Okay.
01:13:33Um, what, uh, what, what don't you understand?
01:13:37For one, why wouldn't you take the job in Buffalo?
01:13:42Well, that, see, that's complicated, right?
01:13:44Because Jerry gave you this great opportunity when no one else would.
01:13:47I know, I know.
01:13:47It's the job.
01:13:48It's the, the cookie.
01:13:49It's the mayo on the burger.
01:13:51It's, it's, it's everything.
01:13:52I don't, I don't know why you would give up what you want just to make everybody else happy.
01:13:56I don't like being an imposition.
01:13:58Advocating for yourself isn't an imposition?
01:14:03Ted, I like so much about you.
01:14:05I do.
01:14:06I really do.
01:14:06I just, I think, you know, when life gets hard and does all the time in my line of work,
01:14:12I, I'm, I'm just not sure that I can be with someone that keeps it so surface all the time.
01:14:20If you, uh, I, if you think I just bury my head in the sand, I don't think you really
01:14:28know me at all.
01:14:29Then help me know you.
01:14:30I think there's so much more to Ted than you let any of us see.
01:14:37Merry Christmas, Ted.
01:14:42Oh, wait.
01:15:08You seem uncharacteristically positive.
01:15:13Hey, man, we already hit our fundraising goal.
01:15:16We did it.
01:15:17What? You did it? Congratulations.
01:15:22Are you okay?
01:15:25Yeah.
01:15:28No.
01:15:31Hope and I had a fight.
01:15:33Wow.
01:15:34You got into a fight.
01:15:36I didn't know you had it in you.
01:15:38Well, Hope fought.
01:15:40I kind of just stood there and took it.
01:15:43Um, walk with me.
01:15:50I'm going to say something nice to you, but don't get used to it because it is only going to
01:15:54happen once.
01:15:55Okay.
01:15:56You deserve everything good in life, but you hold yourself back.
01:16:02You need to go after what you want.
01:16:04It might be too late.
01:16:06That's something people say when they're scared.
01:16:09You're going to be okay.
01:16:11You're going to tell her how you feel, and you'll be back annoying me in no time.
01:16:15That's against the world?
01:16:16That's against the world.
01:16:19Hey, what you've done here is incredible.
01:16:23Have you taken a moment to appreciate that?
01:16:25Yeah.
01:16:26No, dude.
01:16:28I'm serious.
01:16:29Look around you.
01:16:30This took a Herculean effort, and you crushed it.
01:16:34Soak it in.
01:16:37It's moments like these that make you almost worth the frown lines.
01:16:40Almost.
01:16:41Almost.
01:17:03So, um, that's what you're wearing to the gingerbread invitational fair?
01:17:07Oh, I'm not going.
01:17:08Got it.
01:17:09Okay.
01:17:10Hey, you told me on the phone you don't want to run into Ted.
01:17:13That's right.
01:17:14Then why are you here?
01:17:16Because I think you're being ridiculous.
01:17:18Hope, let me get this straight.
01:17:19You're mad at him for not being mad at you, right?
01:17:22Yeah.
01:17:23He's happy all the time.
01:17:26Oh, no.
01:17:27A handsome, gainfully employed man in a good mood.
01:17:29I think he's just trying to impress you.
01:17:31He's trying to impress everyone.
01:17:32So he cares about everyone.
01:17:34How terrible.
01:17:37Look, I have watched you go through some really hard times.
01:17:41And I wanted to help, but I don't know how.
01:17:45And then here comes Ted Cooper.
01:17:47And he has put a smile on your face ever since he came back into town.
01:17:52Hope, that's a beautiful thing.
01:17:55What are you scared of?
01:17:57I've just lost a lot.
01:18:03Starting to feel like everybody leaves.
01:18:07And maybe, maybe it's me.
01:18:14Hope, I only think it's you if you leave him on the other side of the city.
01:18:20Fight for him.
01:18:30I'm here in Lackawanna, where the Gingerbread Invitational is officially underway.
01:18:35The giant gingerbread man behind me will soon be measured to determine whether or not it
01:18:40has set a state record for the largest gingerbread man in New York history.
01:18:45Until then, I'll be here hanging out with members of my hometown discussing the art of baking,
01:18:50Lackawanna, and of course, Christmas.
01:18:52Go get him.
01:18:53Okay.
01:18:53You got it.
01:18:54I know, I know, I know.
01:18:55Let's talk to some folks, shall we?
01:18:57You too.
01:18:57Oh, come on.
01:18:58Dressed to the nines.
01:18:59What is it that you love about Christmas?
01:19:02Not going up there?
01:19:04No, I hate crowds.
01:19:05Yeah, me too.
01:19:06Last time I braved a crowd like this was the Heiress tour.
01:19:09You went to the Heiress tour?
01:19:11Oh, I wouldn't have missed it.
01:19:12Oh, well, hi.
01:19:15I'm Sydney.
01:19:16Brandon.
01:19:17Hi.
01:19:18Hi.
01:19:20Let's see who I...
01:19:20Yes, you.
01:19:21What is it that you love about Christmas?
01:19:23Oh, I like Christmas because of the presents.
01:19:26And my grandma and grandma come to town.
01:19:28And because I like presents.
01:19:30I think you said presents twice.
01:19:32I like presents.
01:19:33I see you do.
01:19:34Well, I hope you get everything you hope for this year.
01:19:37Who else?
01:19:41Ma'am.
01:19:43How about you?
01:19:45Yes.
01:19:46You.
01:19:47Oh, no.
01:19:48Oh, come on.
01:19:49Don't be shy.
01:19:51Come on.
01:19:56Hi.
01:19:57Hi.
01:19:57Uh...
01:19:57Hey.
01:19:58What is it that you are hoping for this Christmas?
01:20:04What is it that you are hoping for this Christmas season?
01:20:06Um...
01:20:06World peace.
01:20:08Seems like a good one.
01:20:11Sure.
01:20:12A, you know, goodwill to everyone.
01:20:17Yeah.
01:20:18Goes without saying.
01:20:19Yeah.
01:20:21And, um...
01:20:22Maybe a conversation that's not on air.
01:20:28Well, it, uh, sounds like the perfect time to throw it back to you in the studio, Ken.
01:20:34And we're clear.
01:20:37Hi.
01:20:37Hi.
01:20:39Hi.
01:20:39Oh, it's good to see you.
01:20:41Can I go first?
01:20:43I'm aware that I am chronically optimistic and that I brightside every situation.
01:20:52But I do get sad, and I do get angry, and I can do better at showing that.
01:20:58And you were right.
01:21:00I don't advocate for myself or fight for what I want nearly as much as I could or should.
01:21:06But I can do better.
01:21:08And I, I, I will do better, starting with you.
01:21:16I took the job in Buffalo.
01:21:18You did?
01:21:21Yeah.
01:21:22It's a great opportunity, and, um, happens to be much closer to the girl I like.
01:21:28That's good news.
01:21:29Yeah?
01:21:30Yeah.
01:21:31What did your producers and corning say?
01:21:35I don't know.
01:21:37I didn't ask.
01:21:46Coming back in three, two, one.
