00:03Welcome back to Yap Session, this is where, around the office, we get into what everyone's
00:07actually talking about, all those water cooler moments, and this past weekend, possibly a Kanye
00:12West comeback. He had a big show in LA at SoFi Stadium, it was sold out, 70,000 fans showed
00:19up
00:19for Kanye West, but it didn't all go so well, did it? No. Does it ever? Does it ever with
00:25Kanye?
00:26I am honestly just shocked at, like, him being able to just, like, really come back and research
00:32every single time he does something crazy, then he comes back and everyone is, like, all over him
00:36again. It brings, like, conflicting feelings. It's crazy. He's like a cat. He has nine lives, you know.
00:41Yeah. You know, in January, he released a big apology in the Wall Street Journal. He took out a
00:47full-page ad, you know, blaming all of his anti-Semitism and, you know, months and months
00:54of craziness on bipolar disorder caused by a head injury, but not everyone's convinced
01:00that it all can be just, the slick can just be white. Blamed on that. Yeah. Yeah, because
01:04you're not only talking about really anti-Semitic comments, but then you're also talking about
01:08a really, really anti-Semitic song that was, you know, taking some language from Nazis and
01:14things of that nature, so it was really heavy-handed, so it's kind of hard to blame that entire thing
01:19on a mental health thing. I think there's nuance and there's room for a conversation for celebrities
01:23that are struggling in public, but it's been a long time coming with the kind of some of this stuff
01:29and it's a little bit hard to swallow that it's just kind of all under that and there needs to
01:33be a lot
01:33more accountability taken and also it's hard to see now you want us to spend money to support you
01:38on this next album. Like, I don't know, maybe more time needs to have passed.
01:41But also it's like, you know, unfortunately, it's like, does he need to take accountability
01:45if people are still flocking to his shows? He's still doing what he wants. 70,000 people
01:49plus clearly don't care. His album just came out, you know, and there were some celebrities
01:53in the crowd that are getting a little backlash. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, his daughter,
01:57Northwest, 12-year-old, was onstage performing. Yeah. So, obviously, you know, there's issues
02:03about, like, what does it mean to be a Kanye West fan, you know? Right. So, Chloe Bailey was
02:07in the crowd. That was a bold move. Yeah, she was having a bold time.
02:10Knowing you're going to be spotted, knowing you're... I guess she filmed herself. Yeah.
02:14It wasn't even like someone caught her in the crowd. She filmed herself and put
02:16that out there, which, you know, free country we live in, but, yeah, interesting decision-making.
02:20It looks like that was on Snapchat, but, you know, it didn't disappear.
02:24No, certainly not. 24 hours didn't go fast enough. She said it was at a thousand out of ten
02:27concert. Well, Mike, she just doubled, doubled down. She tripled, like, quadrupled down on it.
02:31Yeah. And it's funny, some people were saying online that,
02:33is this a diss to Beyonce? Because she's fine to Beyonce. Yeah.
02:36And Kanye West recently made some disparaging comments about Beyonce and Jaycee's children.
02:40Him and Jaycee had a bath falling out, too. So, it's like, exactly. So, it's like, okay,
02:43is this speaking something about her loyalty to Beyonce? I don't think so. I think knowing
02:48the Bayley girls, they're just innocent girls. They're just trying to, we all love them.
02:51That's just my little cousin and stuff. Yeah.
02:55Somebody was like, after putting, damn near putting Parkwood in bankruptcy,
03:00Yeah. How dare you do this?
03:02How dare you go to Kanye West? Yeah, I know. Do you think that it was like a slight to
03:05Beyonce?
03:05I don't think she would ever slight Beyonce. I think she wanted to go to the concert and she went.
03:10I would, I don't think it's a, I don't know. I don't think it's a slight, but also, you just
03:13never really know.
03:14Yeah, and also, you gotta think about these things. Like, you gotta think about the optics of it.
03:17I'm not even a celebrity. I'm thinking about the optics. She wasn't thinking about it at all.
03:20I mean, they share the same publicist, so. Yeah.
03:22Yeah. But Lauryn Hill also showed up, and shockingly, she showed up on time.
03:26Thank God. She never does.
03:27Lauryn Hill performed, and I did watch that clip, because I am a Lauryn Hill fan.
03:31And I was like, wow, they are just two, you know, titans of hip-hop, like, sharing a stage together.
03:37Yeah. And it was, I think, a humbling moment for Kanye to kind of be out-starred in that moment.
03:41Right! Which is hilarious, because nobody out-stars Kanye.
03:44That is Kanye West, honey. But he, it's almost nice to see him, like, give it up to somebody and
03:49say,
03:49this is my icon. Let's give her, there was a point on stage where he got off stage and let
03:53her have the stage entirely by herself.
03:54Yeah. So, he's a fan.
03:56And the set design was incredible.
03:57Oh my God.
03:58I mean, it looked like Doom 4.
04:00Yeah.
04:00I mean, he's on what looked like the sphere in Las Vegas, and, you know, the post-apocalyptic outfits had
04:07these, you know, carabiners, like, connected with ropes, and I thought it was so cool.
04:11But I guess Kanye, at one point, stopped the show to feud with his lighting.
04:16Multiple times.
04:17Multiple times?
04:18He said it was corny. That's, like, the phrase he used to describe the lighting, and he kept asking the
04:22production to, like, fix it the way he wanted it.
04:23Did y'all not rehearse?
04:24No, when I heard this, I said, are we not in rehearsal? What happened? We're on stage, and you're telling
04:28lighting this, this is unprofessional.
04:30He said, oh, this is not what we rehearsed. This looks like an SNL skit.
04:34So, he's, he just, everyone's catching strays.
04:36Anytime he opens his mouth, you know.
04:38He's an equal offender.
04:39Yeah.
04:39He can't go after anyone.
04:40It's hard to believe all of his, you know, apologies about his, you know.
04:44When the bad behavior is continuing.
04:46Yeah, we still see, it's still Kanye's personality.
04:49It's still Kanye. Kanye's gonna get what he wants, and look, we're fine.
04:51There's a difference between a difficult artist, because there's artists, and they're sensitive about their shit, like Beyonce said.
04:57So, he might be one of those, and that's okay.
04:59Like, but once it's on top of all the other kind of insulting things and offensive things, it's hard to
05:03swallow.
05:03Like, come on, Kanye, pull it together.
05:05Yeah.
05:05Yeah, I read that he performed some of my favorites, though.
05:08Heartless, Bound To.
05:10All Falls Down.
05:11He's giving the fans.
05:12He gave the fans what they wanted.
05:13Yeah, you know, this was not Sunday service where you have to kind of be locked into the deep cuts.
05:18Like, he's giving the, he gave the fans what they wanted, which is, maybe there is a new leaf being
05:24turned.
05:25We can all be optimistic.
05:26The festival in July in London, he's performing, he's headlining a festival, and I've seen that some sponsors are already
05:31dropping out.
05:32Yep, have seen.
05:32So, it'll be interesting to see how much support is with him and how much is against him come July
05:37when it's time for him to take the stage.
05:38Yeah, like, the prime minister of, like, Britain or the UK, like, spoke out about him.
05:42Wow.
05:42Saying all of his anti-Semitic things, or he shouldn't have been booked as the headliner for this big tour
05:47after all these things that he said.
05:49But a lot of people are gonna go see him.
05:50And that's the thing.
05:51So, he's now testing being an artist outside of the mainstream, like, he's testing the theory of, like, is it
05:57enough to just have a following without the support of Pepsi and all the people that are kind of backing
06:02out?
06:02This is a thing we haven't really seen as much before, because he's doing his own tours last minute, he's
06:07doing these last minute surprise concerts in LA, he's, you know, all this kind of stuff.
06:10But it's like, if you don't have the support of mainstream, can you do it on your own?
06:16And apparently he made $33 million from that concert in LA.
06:20Wow.
06:21Yeah, Gordon Bloomberg.
06:22He's not hurting for money.
06:23No.
06:24Oh, God, next he's gonna say he's gonna run for president again.
06:26That's absurd.
06:27I can barely swallow you going back into music.
06:30Stay out of politics, please.
06:31Please.
06:31We're already making a mess of it.
06:32Any thoughts on North?
06:33I mean, she's 12 years old.
06:34She had her blue hair, iconic.
06:36She's performing.
06:37You know, this is, like, the next generation is coming up fast.
06:40Yeah.
06:40I'm just, I want to be a fly on the wall on when they're, when she's doing her artistry and
06:44he's, like, saying, he's probably telling her everything she does is amazing.
06:47Yeah.
06:4710 out of 10.
06:48He probably just wants to encourage her to be a creative.
06:50I don't think so.
06:51I don't think so.
06:52I think so.
06:52I feel like Kanye, I think, I think he's very, I think, especially when it comes to, he's gonna let
06:57her express herself as an artist.
06:58But I think he's gonna be very critical on the music.
07:00You know what I mean?
07:01Like, that's, he's, like, a legend or genius in this whole thing, you know, according to some people.
07:06And I just think that, like, he's definitely going to be, like, critiquing her.
07:09Yeah, but I wonder if artist Kanye is gonna outweigh dad Kanye.
07:12Stage mom Kanye.
07:14Stage mom Kanye, dance moms.
07:16I think artist Kanye outweigh dad Kanye.
07:17Yeah, he's famously very controlling, especially of, you know, women in his life.
07:21You know, like, he, he sort of built Kim Kardashian's, you know, what we know as her fashion aesthetic.
07:28You know, he, he sort of built that.
07:29And then with his, you know, new wife, Bianca Sensori, like, she dresses how he wants.
07:34Yeah.
07:35And it's sort of like his little Frankenstein creation.
07:37Right.
07:38And, you know, it's, I, I'm just so curious how a dad is gonna deal with a teenage daughter.
07:43I know.
07:43Because that's, you don't always get to play, you know, you know, the perfect genius.
07:48Yeah.
07:48With a teenage girl.
07:49A teenage daughter whose parents are Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
07:52Yeah.
07:52He's like.
07:52I'm so curious if Kim at this point is just, like, don't even put up a fight.
07:56She's like, North, go perform with dad, whatever, like, he's put her and all them through such,
08:01you know, through the ringer that I feel like Kim probably has such a little fight left against
08:04Kanye about, like, what he can and can't do with North.
08:06I mean, they have four kids together.
08:07Yeah.
08:07And all of this, you know, the recent years of drama and, you know, it's, I just can't
08:12imagine what's going through her head.
08:14Like, it's just, how do you come out from the other end of this?
08:17Did you guys hear Northwest's song?
08:19It's your bestie, miss, miss, bestie.
08:22I did.
08:23I had a star.
08:26Miss Westie.
08:27Oh, yeah.
08:28It's a song.
08:29They did something with it.
08:31I mean, look.
08:32I think the kids should express themselves.
08:34Also, I feel like, I sometimes feel bad for celebrity kids when they have such geniuses as parents
08:38or, like, as musical geniuses.
08:41How is she going to live up to that?
08:42I think it's fine for you to play around with it.
08:45You'll get there eventually.
08:45And Blue Ivy, you know, I think held her own on that stage.
08:48Yeah.
08:49You know, obviously she has the genes, the musical talent.
08:52If she can't dance, it would be shocking.
08:54Let's put them against each other.
08:55Oh, my God.
08:56Let's see Blue Ivy versus Northwest.
08:58Let's see who comes out on top.
08:59Are they friends?
08:59Do they hang out?
09:00I feel like the Noel Carters are not handling that.
09:03They're not having that.
09:04Especially if you're speaking negatively about them and their children.
09:07Yeah, no, that's a wrap.
09:08That relationship's done.
09:09Well, you know, another famous family was, of course, the family that we fell in love with
09:15during the pandemic in Schitt's Creek.
09:18And Dan Levy just spoke about if there's ever going to be a Schitt's Creek sequel.
09:23Oh, my God.
09:23I would have killed for that.
09:25Yeah, he was on CBS Sunday morning, and he said that, you know, unfortunately, Catherine
09:29O'Hara, you know, passed away this year, and without her, the show really can't come on.
09:34And it really can't.
09:35Like, there's some stars of the show that you could probably produce a show without it,
09:39but then there's some, Catherine is so essential to the Schitt's Creek, like, recipe, the sauce
09:44of it all.
09:45It's like, we couldn't do it without it.
09:47But it is, it was kind of almost nice for a second to know that there was thoughts of
09:50a sequel, but, you know.
09:51Yeah, because they had been asked that for the years since the show ended.
09:53I mean, it kind of blew up in a later stage of its run and swept the final Emmys that
09:58it was a part of, as we saw.
10:00And I feel like over the years, they were being asked so much, and I'm not surprised that there
10:03were some things maybe in development or just, like, thinking about it or talking about it,
10:07and then, unfortunately, we lose Catherine.
10:08I know, I can't believe it's been six years since the show went off the air and, of course,
10:12swept the Emmys, and, I mean, that was really, like, a COVID, you know, blanket for me.
10:16It was comforting.
10:17Proud to say I started watching it before COVID.
10:19My brother and sister-in-law had just, like, kind of stumbled upon it.
10:22Like, it's this Canadian show, and then it was nice to see it blow up.
10:25Were you watching it on Netflix, or were you?
10:26I was watching it, no.
10:27Like, they had it on TV.
10:28You found the Canadian streamer.
10:29Yeah, yeah.
10:29Like, ITV or something.
10:30Before it really blew up on Netflix and created such a huge following.
10:33Such a hipster.
10:34I had a curve.
10:34I love that show so much.
10:36And it's a bummer to lose her.
10:39But at the same time, it's nice to know that that show had such a great run, and I think
10:43it had a perfect ending.
10:44So, sometimes when you dabble with things and you try to bring something back, it hurts
10:47the legacy.
10:47And Moira Rose, like, was a meme machine.
10:50Oh, my God.
10:52You fold in the cheese.
10:53Fold your team, baby.
10:55Fold it.
10:56What does it mean to fold in the cheese?
10:57What does it mean?
10:58Oh, my God.
10:59Their chemistry was perfect.
11:00What's your favorite season?
11:01Awards.
11:02Awards.
11:03Just every line was so perfect.
11:05And also, the love story between, you know, David and, you know, what ends up becoming
11:10his husband in the show is so sweet.
11:12Revolutionary, in my opinion.
11:13It's revolutionary.
11:14It was so sweet.
11:15They just seemed like two normal guys.
11:17Yep.
11:17Yeah.
11:18And, you know, they also, you know, had that, they gave that Tina Turner song, that Second
11:22Life.
11:23Oh, yeah.
11:23Simply the Best.
11:24Simply the Best.
11:25You know?
11:25Better than all the rest.
11:27You know, we also lost Tina Turner, but, like, that song, like, lives on.
11:31And it's just, yeah, the show had so many just classic moments.
11:34It was amazing.
11:34Alexis.
11:35Oh, God, I love her.
11:36A little bit of Alexis.
11:37Ew, David.
11:38A little bit of la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
11:39I can recite that whole thing.
11:41I can literally recite that whole thing.
11:42I could just spend...
11:43It was a joyous show.
11:44It was so good.
11:44And I think we probably all feel like we need that kind of joy in the world right now.
11:48And so, it really was a moment in time to have that show.
11:50Yeah.
11:51So, Dan Levy has a new show out.
11:52It's premiering this week on Netflix.
11:55So, that's, like, where he...
11:56Schitt's Creek did really well.
11:58And it's called...
12:00Uh, uh, uh.
12:01I forgot.
12:02Something about crime?
12:03Big crime?
12:04It's your crime.
12:05Something like that.
12:05Y'all will find it on the internet.
12:06Y'all will find it on the internet.
12:07It's free.
12:08He's got to hope that Schitt's Creek following follows him into the same project.
12:12Because he's playing as a brother and sister again.
12:14So, we've got a little bit of the David and Alexis thing.
12:16But they get involved in a crime story.
12:19True crime.
12:20It's a comedy as well?
12:21It's a comedy.
12:22A darker comedy.
12:23Oh, okay.
12:24Yeah.
12:25See, it's funny.
12:26We're all Schitt's Creek fans.
12:27And yet, you know, I think it takes a lot to, like, pick up a new show and plug back
12:32into some, you know, new series.
12:34It's called Big Mistakes.
12:35Big Mistakes.
12:37It premieres April 9th in just a couple days.
12:39So, we'll be...
12:40Are you tuning in?
12:41Um, sure.
12:42Yeah.
12:42Yeah, why not?
12:43He's so talented.
12:44Taylor Ortega is a very funny New York comedian.
12:46And she plays the sister.
12:47And so, I'm excited to see her.
12:50This is a star-turning moment for her.
12:52Nice.
12:52I'm excited.
12:53I'm excited to see what Dan does.
12:54I feel like he can't miss now.
12:56So, I'm like, I'll follow him blindly into any show he's doing.
12:58For sure.
12:59And we all miss Catherine O'Hara.
13:00Yeah.
13:01She was such a comedy legend.
13:02It's like, Home Alone, Beetlejuice.
13:05Like, there's just so much that she gave the world and never had to bring the drama.
13:10No.
13:11She just was, you know, even in her final days, you know, sick, presumably, in the studio on Apple TV.
13:19She's still delivering an incredible, you know, Emmy-worthy performance.
13:23I think about the moment where she won her award and she goes, you know who would love this moment?
13:27Moira Rose.
13:28I love that.
13:28And she does the acceptance speech in Moira Rose in that moment.
13:31I fell in love with the studio as well.
13:32And it's a bummer that we had the first season with her and now we're not going to.
13:35And I think Seth Rogen kind of addressed the fact that they're going to talk about how they take her
13:40off the show for season two.
13:41Obviously, they do something with her character.
13:43So, I'm curious to see how they kind of make that happen because she was a very vital part of
13:47that show as well.
13:48Yeah.
13:49She makes characters that are annoying but that you love.
13:52Like, you still love Moira.
13:53You fall for her.
13:54You got her even though she was, like, annoying.
13:56Like, when she died and she said, well, what picture are they using?
14:01There was something, like, relatable about her but in the most over-the-top way.
14:04In the most over-the-top way.
14:05And can we talk about the fashion, too?
14:07Oh, my God.
14:07Like, Schitt's Creek, you know, it's a small town, you know.
14:10Like, they basically live in a motel.
14:12But, like, Moira had every wig on the wall.
14:15Every look was so, like, goth and just perfect.
14:18It was just...
14:19Over-the-top.
14:19It was perfect.
14:20I loved it.
14:21Yeah.
14:21And David, you know, David, Dan Levy's clothes were also very fun.
14:24Yeah.
14:25Very fun.
14:26Two peas in a pod, those two.
14:27They really were.
14:27Absolutely.
14:28And the connection between Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara as the parents of that show, they had worked together
14:32for years before.
14:34So, they already kind of had that established kind of chemistry.
14:36So, it was exciting to see them and their banter and Eugene being, like, the straight, perfect straight guy.
14:41Like, just in front of her craziness.
14:43Yeah.
14:43And it just was so...
14:44Oh, God, we can't say enough about it.
14:46We miss the show so much.
14:47I mean, it's really rare when every cast member in the same year wins an Emmy for their performance.
14:52I don't think it ever happened with Seinfeld either, you know, which was similarly, you know, critically acclaimed.
14:57Right.
14:58Yeah.
14:58Absolutely.
14:59And it got us through COVID.
15:00And we need a little bit of joy, like you said.
15:01Sure did.
15:02So, hopefully this next show, Dan, we'll be watching.
15:04Well, we also have to talk about Savannah Guthrie's return to the Today Show.
15:08After two months away, she's back at the anchor desk, and we have a clip.
15:13Want to take a look?
15:14Welcome to Today on this Monday morning.
15:16We are so glad you started your week with us, and it is good to be home.
15:20Yes.
15:21It is good to have you back at home.
15:22Well, here we go.
15:23Ready or not.
15:24Let's do the news.
15:26Ready or not.
15:26She threw herself right back in it.
15:28Yeah.
15:29The ready or not.
15:29It's like, she probably isn't ready, but it's like, when will you ever be ready to get back to it?
15:33And it's like, what's the alternative?
15:34It's maybe being home.
15:35Because we were talking about maybe there's a bereavement.
15:37Like, there should be some bereavement time she's allotted at her job.
15:40But it's maybe less about that and more about, let me just keep getting back to my life in whatever
15:44way that I can,
15:45while we're kind of still waiting on some final news to come.
15:49It's so tough, though, because in my mind, I'm like, how do you, you know,
15:51you have such a tough situation that you're dealing with at home,
15:53and then have to go to work and talk about all of these tragedies and things that other people are
15:58going through.
15:59It's not like she's an accountant.
16:00She works in the news.
16:01She's going to be covering other tragedies.
16:03Is she going to be re-traumatized?
16:05Is this going to be, how are they going to handle that?
16:06My question is, if there's a big development next week in this case,
16:09is she sitting at the seat talking about it with Craig and Jenna, etc.?
16:13Like, I don't know how that's going to work.
16:14Are they going to take her off if something happens and she's just then going to be gone again?
16:17Like, I'm very curious to see, like, the behind-the-scenes strategy of how this is going to work,
16:21if there's more to talk about with this case.
16:22I mean, I think about with the Wendy Williams situation where she was,
16:24she became a hot topic and was doing hot topics,
16:27and that was always such a kind of funny place to be where she was never the person she was
16:31talking about.
16:31So it is always interesting to see a person who does the news become the news and how they handle
16:36that.
16:36Yeah, you know, I did like, I did love seeing her, you know, back in this bright yellow, you know,
16:41dress.
16:42And, you know, Craig was also wearing a yellow tie.
16:44You know, yellow is often a color used for, you know, for remembrance and condolence,
16:50you know, to kind of express loss and sympathy, you know, yellow roses.
16:54So I thought that was really beautiful.
16:56And she had talked about how morning TV is a place of joy for her,
17:00that, like, what they bring is the sunshine to people's mornings.
17:03They have it on while they're getting their kids ready for school
17:06and getting ready to leave the house to go to work, et cetera.
17:10So I think she was excited, and she expressed that she was excited to get back to that, that routine.
17:15Right.
17:15Instead of being in Tucson, Arizona with no answers.
17:19I mean, the case is, we've been following it here, you know, page six in New York Post.
17:24The case has been going on since February 1st when Nancy Guthrie went missing.
17:29And at first it seemed to be, there were some leads, there was security camera footage, there was, you know,
17:35and then it all...
17:36There was blood, there were suspect items, there were little things that could have been...
17:39We felt like we were so close.
17:41Like, I remember, like, there was a few days when I was like,
17:43oh my God, tomorrow it's going to happen, or the next day it's coming, this week it's going to happen.
17:45There were ransom notes, you know, this and that, and you can't tell what's real, what's fake.
17:49And then it all kind of, the case really dried up.
17:52Yeah.
17:52And now it just feels like we're not going to get any answers.
17:55I mean, apparently the sheriff that was on the case,
17:57it was his first time ever covering a homicide, so he didn't really have a...
18:00That man did not know what he was getting himself into when he signed up for that job, did he?
18:04At all.
18:04He didn't know what he was necessarily doing, honestly.
18:06Like, I think the early kind of declaration that the person had run off,
18:11that she ran off and wasn't kidnapped, was...
18:13The first 48 hours is very crucial, as you know.
18:15Yeah, yeah.
18:15So, you know, that being the early declaration is probably a lot why this maybe was mishandled
18:21in the beginning, because a person that wasn't necessarily,
18:23or a team that wasn't necessarily experienced in this level of crime
18:27didn't make the right judgment call early on.
18:29And so, from then on, you kind of see them kind of scrambling to make...
18:32To give answers, like, how do we not have any arrests two months later?
18:35How do we not have a suspect, but we have blood and surveillance and things of that nature?
18:39Like, there should have been more that was done,
18:41and unfortunately, it seems like this case was mishandled.
18:44I know.
18:45And it could be no answers forever.
18:47I mean, and as we know, we all work in news.
18:50Like, people move on.
18:51Interest moves on.
18:52Right.
18:52And I feel like that's already happened with this case.
18:53So, I do respect Savannah getting back there, because it's so heartbreaking to say,
18:58but for her and the rest of their family, like, they literally may never find out again
19:01for the rest of their lives.
19:02Yeah.
19:03She was supposed to cover the Winter Olympics.
19:05Her mom disappeared the week before the Olympics started.
19:09And then, so that was a big, that's a big tentpole, you know, event for NBC News.
19:14And then Hoda Kotb came back.
19:17She had left the show in 2025, in the beginning of that year.
19:21And so, Hoda came back to fill in for her friend.
19:24So, you know, it's really felt like a family.
19:27Yeah.
19:28A TV family coming together and to rally around Savannah during this time.
19:32And, I mean, it's just completely unthinkable.
19:35Yeah.
19:36Like, what is even going on with their lives.
19:37When she came back, there were lots of tears on set, lots of hugs.
19:41So, it really does feel like a family.
19:42That's why I think people love the Today Show, is that they have genuine relationships.
19:45I mean, Savannah, Jenna, you know, Hoda, like, they all are, like, sisters,
19:49especially, like, you know, the girls on that show.
19:50So, it's been hard to see all that happen, you know, on the screen.
19:54And it's nice that Savannah's back there.
19:57And I hope that she has a smooth ride coming up about being on the show every day.
20:00Yeah, there was an eyewitness that saw Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah reunite outside 30 Rock.
20:07And I guess they hugged for, like, a full minute.
20:09Which, for the way hugs go, that is a very long time.
20:12Yeah, at what point did you say, get off?
20:13And they both got very emotional.
20:14I mean, I just can't even, I just can't even imagine it.
20:18Not to end on a sad note, you know, there's a, but, you know, the Today Show is such a
20:23staple for morning TV and for just the media in general.
20:26And seeing how everyone from Craig to Hoda to Jenna has, you know, rallied around her.
20:33And this is not the first Today Show big devastation that they've had.
20:37Chanel Jones also lost her husband a few months ago.
20:39And maybe it was maybe a year or so ago at this point.
20:41And so, that was another situation where she had to kind of take some time off, come back.
20:45She came back and wound up filling the spot that Hoda left when she left.
20:48So, that was kind of a nice way that they, that she got to come back and kind of step
20:53up and have a new, fun, exciting role.
20:55But they, again, like, to speak to the Today Show family, they really are a family and they support people
20:59going through things.
21:00Now she's back with Jen and Chanel, right?
21:02Yeah.
21:02Yeah, absolutely.
21:03And maybe both of them, each with their respective tragedies, ultimately returning to work, kind of speaks to everyone and
21:10people going through their own things.
21:12And, like, getting back into life is maybe a good way to heal.
21:14And so, I feel like there's kind of a lesson to take from both of those two women getting back
21:18at their jobs.
21:19Yeah.
21:19You put one foot in front of the next.
21:22Well, very well said.
21:23Thanks so much for joining us here at the App Session.
21:26And we'll see you next week.
