You never say thank you thats what the money is for the hit series mad men preparing for its final episodes, and were getting an exclusive sneak peek from the cast as they join us live in studio 1a today, monday, march 23, 2015. From nbc news this is today. With matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a monday morning. It may only be two full days into spring but 596 days until election day. By the way, did you have ted cruz in your bracket . Got it. First one in. Perfect. And hes going to set the stage for what happens after this. It is our top story. The first puzzle piece now falling into place for the 2016 president ial race. Texas republican senator, ted cruz throwing his hat in the ring overnight with that tweet right there. Hes making it official at an event in virginia this morning. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is there. Kelly, its texas senator ted cruz. Why virginia . Reporter well, youre right, matt. We are a long way from his hometown of houston. Were even far from the early decisionmaking places like iowa or new hampshire. But ted cruz has picked the home base of young evangelical conservatives to kick off his white house run. A Cruise Missile launched after midnight. And im ready to stand with you to lead the fight. Reporter in a video message tweeted to 350,000 followers, the texas senator announced his run for president. Its going to take a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America Great again. Reporter sunday night, a casual cruz wife heidi and their two daughters did a brief rehearsal on the stage at Liberty University choosing this evangelical headquarters cruz is sending a message. If you say you support life and you support marriage show me where you stood up and fought. Reporter with his texassized ambitions, today cruz bucked the establishment again, by skipping the preliminary steps and jumping into a fullscale campaign. Either you love ted cruz or you hate ted cruz. But no matter what you know he is id logically clear. Reporter critics say he led to the 2013 government shutdown. His 21hour talkathon even veered into dr. Seuss lane. I would not eat green eggs and ham, i do not like them sam i am. Reporter last week in new hampshire, a childs reaction to cruzs rhetoric put a 3yearold in the spotlight. The whole world is on fire. The whole world is on fire . Your world is on fire. But you know what your mommy is here and everyone is here to make sure that the world you grow up in is even better. Reporter also new this morning, ted cruz has released a biographical video to introduce himself. Hes 44 only been on the National Scene for a couple of years, and hes talking about this new generation as a way to try to separate himself, contrast himself, from other candidates like jeb bush. Savannah . All right, Kelly Odonnell, thank you so much. Lets talk more politics with Mark Halperin managing editor of bloomberg politics. Good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. Reporter first decision get in first, and hes gobbling up all the media energy in the first 24 hours. If youre in a race better to start before anybody else right . Pretty basic. Other people are going to get in the coming weeks. Ted cruz is trying to differentiate himself. Hes not very wellknown. Hes got populist support at the grass roots level but needs more people to know him faster. Smart way to do. Reporter the book on senator ted cruz is he is whip smart, a conservative fire brand, knows how to throw rhetorical bombs. Do you consider him a top tier candidate . I think hes a second tier candidate. He captures part of what the Republican Party wants. They want someone to go to washington and shake things up. You hear it again and again from voters. But they also want washington to work better and ted cruzs challenge is to continue to say i can change things but also make washington work. Republicans want that too. If this is the starting gun on the 2016 race boy, what a republican field. Eight, nine, potential candidates . I think theres eight or nine who could be the nominee, eight or nine more who could run. People in the early voting states like iowa and new hampshire, they have seen the activity. Today is the start of this thing going national. The whole country is going to be on in this wild ride to say which of these 8 or 9, 12 13, 14 people can win the republican nomination. Meanwhile, the democratic side is as lonely as the republican is crowded. Where do you think Hillary Clinton comes down on announcing her run . The next couple weeks. Republicans are running in a field of 13 or 14. Right now she is running in a field against herself and kind of losing. All these questions about her emails, whether she should face a nomination fight means democrats are worried, putting all their chips on one horse, Hillary Clinton. And if she ends up having problems theyre making maybe she should be tested by a democrat rather than risk sending her into a general election without having debates and the kind of scrutiny you get when you have a contestant fight. Well see you lots in the next 596 days. Thank you so much. Thank you. Now to a Disturbing Development in the fight against isis. That terror group posting a hit list of names, addresses, and even photos of u. S. Service members. Lets bring in richard engel, nbcs chief foreign correspondent. Richard, good morning. What can you tell us . Good morning. It has 100 names on it. Its an isis hit list. It appears to be aspirational. And in a statement, the pentagon says the information wasnt hacked from any classified sources but mostly culled from news reports and social media. The pentagon says its mostly a scare tactic a call to murder by isis. The Group Released a list of u. S. Military personnel and asked loyalists in the United States to hunt them down. The list included american troops home addresses and contact information. Defense officials tell nbc news the list does include names of active duty service members, some deployed overseas some combat pilots. The pentagon is encouraging anyone on the list to exercise caution, but at this time has apparently made no decision to pull them off duty or provide personal protection. Its propaganda is going further. From afghanistan to west africa and adding new countries to its portfolio, new areas where militants operate. Isis says it launched the gunmen who killed nearly 20 tourists in a museum in tunisia last week. The gunmen. The group said trained next door in libya. And on friday isis claimed responsibility for five suicide attacks in yemen, killing more than 130 people at shiite mosques. Yemen was supposed to be the model for how washington would fight islamic radicals. The president spoke to Savannah Guthrie about yemen during his super bowl interview. We have continually been able to maintain pressure on al qaeda in that region. Can you do that with a government thats not a partner. We can maintain pressure. Reporter the u. S. Backed government which used to help washington fight extremists was driven out of the capital in february by rebels who are still on the march. Over the weekend, the government lost another city the countrys thirdlargest, taiz to the rebels. This war that is playing out in yemen, this struggle for power, between the government and the rebels is creating an enormous opportunity for groups like al qaeda, and in particular isis. Because you have a struggle for power with the government battling the rebels and theyre trying to regain control of the country. And in this chaos, isis is trying to really establish itself. Which they seem to be good at filling vacuums. Exactly. Richard engel, thank you very much. Closer to home accused killer robert durst is heading back to court in new orleans this morning. Its a key hearing tied to weapons charges filed after his arrest for murder. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk is following developments in the courthouse for us this morning. Steph, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. It was a fairly standard bond hearing on those weapons charges. But late friday dursts lawyer in a bold move filed a motion saying he wants to argue that the original arrest warrant for murder isnt actually legal. He says it faced more on that hbo documentary than on probable cause. When robert durst appears this morning on weapons charges, his attorneys will demand an immediate preliminary hearing. Those charges were filed after Police Arrested durst at this new Orleans Marriott for the murder of his friend susan berman 15 years ago in los angeles. In court documents, dursts attorney argues the california arrest warrant was issued without probable cause, to coincide with the final episode of the hbo docudrama the jinx. Durst was arrested the night before the final episode aired. Evidence led police to the longtime friend in new york state, where investigators seized 60 boxes of dursts personal possessions. Again, just hours before the final episode. I think that anybody would be a fool to think there wasnt a connection between the final episode of the series and the arrest of mr. Durst. Reporter dursts lawyer is also concerned about what happened once his client was in custody, saying a los angeles prosecutor spent three hours with him before the houston attorney could fly to new orleans. Longtime new orleans lawyer says he may be tried in new orleans first, because he feels he has a slam dunk case on the lesser weapons charges. Dursts harder to prove murder charge in california. If robert durst is sentenced to 20 years, clearly 15 years, even 10 years in his physical and mental condition and age, it is essentially a life sentence. Reporter the lawyer compares this case to the al capone case. Youll remember that authorities went africa pony for years for murder but ended up sending him to jail on tax evasion. That would be the case with these weapons charges. Durst for his part denies being involved in Susan Bermans murder. Guys back to you. Stephanie gosk thank you so much. Natalie is on assignment this morning. Well check in with her in a little while. Chanel is here with a story on frightening scenes in florida. A Helicopter Crashed in an orlando home sunday killing the pilot. But incredibly no one on the ground was hurt. Faa and ntsb officials will be onsite this morning to try to figure out what went wrong. The impact was a very solid boom and dead silent. Reporter the terrifying sound of a Helicopter Crashing into a house jolted a peaceful upscale neighborhood in orlando sunday afternoon. The pilot is presumed dead but miraculously no one else was injured. A spokesperson with the faa says the chopper took off from the Orlando Executive Airport around 2 30 and flew about two miles before it crashed. It is a helicopter that has crashed into a residence. Its being reported the pilot is still inside. Orlando copies. Rescue is on the scene. Reporter neighbor don car says as a vietnam war veteran, he immediately recognized the sound of a helicopter in trouble. This was a very slow. Whop whop whop followed with a boom and everything went dark. Reporter police say the helicopter hit a twostory garage apartment, the guest house of the property empty at the time. An unknown number of residents were inside the main part of the house. We dont know what caused the accident. We just know that the helicopter did go inside the guest house. Reporter the origin and destination of the helicopters flight and the pilots identity were not immediately released. It is unclear if anyone else was on board at the time. Today, police will release the results of an investigation into an alleged Sexual Assault at the university of virginia that was reported in Rolling Stone magazine last fall. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in charlottesville with the latest. Good morning. Chanel, good morning. Police have remained tightlipped about this investigation. These allegations rocked this campus back in november. Thats when Rolling Stone published a lengthy article about a woman the writer called jackie who claimed she had been gang raped by seven men at a Fraternity House on campus. The university suspended all fraternity activities and there were protests on campus and it all sparked a National Conversation about Sexual Assault on college campuses. But within weeks, several major details of jackies story were discredited. The magazine admitted it had never contacted the man who allegedly orchestrated the attack. It apologized to its readers and said its trust in jackie had been misplaced. But now were awaiting the details of this investigation. Many here on campus many questions have persisted about how much of jackie may have been true. Later today, Charlottesville Police are expected to shed some light on that. Thank you. Federal regulators are investigating complaints this morning that two nissan recalls didnt actually fix a problem with front seat air bag seat sensors. The recalls involved nearly 1 million vehicles in 2013 and 2014. They were initiated because of problems with computer software. Air bags wont inflate if the software doesnt register an adult in the seat. The government reports 124 complaints from people who say the problem still exists. Nissan insists the proper repairs were made. And a special delivery for pope francis this weekend. It happened in naples italy, as the pope mobile and motorcade maid its way through town.

This morning on ross en reports, dangerous explosives being openly sold at some of the countrys biggest stores. And experts say this could be a threat to national security. Today jeff rossen is here with more. Good morning. Hey, guys good morning. This is an important one. Right now i am basically holding a bomb in my hand. And youll never believe where i got this. A Sporting Goods store, no questions asked. Gun enthusiasts say they use it for target practice. When you shoot it it explodes and thats how you know you made the shot. But the key ingredient here that causes the explosion has been used by terrorists to kill americans. So why are you allowed to buy it by the truckload here as much as you want . This morning youre about to see what can happen when this gets in the wrong hands. Dangerous and powerful explosives. Blowing up cars. 30 pounds. Of. Reporter trucks. Completely leveling this barn. Ripping it to pieces. Even in small amounts, it can have tragic consequences. Oh call 911 cameras rolling when this refrigerator with only two pounds of the explosives went off. Shrapnel flying in all directions taking off jennifer planks hand. In the blink of an eye, it was gone. Theyre called exploding targets. The lead manufacturer tanerite the key ingredient ammonium nitrate, used in the Oklahoma City bombing, and to kill u. S. Troops in afghanistan. The fbi even issuing this intelligence bulletin in 2013, that it has potential use as explosives in ieds by criminals and extremists. Yet today you can buy tanerite at most Sporting Goods stores. Completely legal. I went shopping and bought it by the cart load. Thank you very much. So im walking out with all of this no questions asked. Just that easy. But terrorists dont even have to show up at the store. My producer bought 40 pounds worth online enough to blow up a house. A week later, here it is. Delivered right to our doorstep in bulk. Wow. Even some firearms experts call it unacceptable. Im a huge supporter of the second amendment, but its extremely dangerous. Its equivalent of buying explosives off the shelf. But he says its getting around the law on a technicality separating the two ingredients, even though theyre sold together. And this all came together in the package. Yes. Everything you need comes with a package you purchase off the shelf. And this is an explosive here. This is now classified by atf as an spleef. Explosive. So why doesnt the federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms crack down . The atf declined our request for an interview, so we went straight to senator richard blumenthal. This kind of bombmaking material is a threat and growing risk. You are a key member on the Judiciary Committee overseeing the atf, yet the atf doesnt classify this product as an explosive. Why arent you doing more . There should be regulations that in effect either require licenses or somehow better track the purchases of these devices. They are relatively new. Tanerite saying no additional regulations are needed because the product is safe when used correctly. And the only injuries that happened were results from the shooter misusing the product. The company adding only girly men want to regulate tannerite targets. Tell that to senator blumenthal now vowing to take action. Im going to press the atf and other Government Agencies to do more and do it better. There is no reason for buying this product in bulk. Only girly men. Maryland is the first state in the country to ban the purchase without a special explosives license. Everywhere else it is on the shelves right now. And by the way, after buying all of these products we are hamming it over to experts, not dangerous being in the studio. I wouldnt do that to you. Thank you. And you need the catalyst. It is incredibly dangerous, how this is used overseas by terrorists. And some says here as well by the way. Jeff thank you so much. Still ahead, changing subjects dramatically. Vin diesel reveals the name of his new bundle of joy to natalie, and shares the story behind that name. But people think californians are just a bunch of dreamers.

That employees at starbucks had been encouraged to write racetogether on customers cups hoping to promote discussion of racial issues. But there was a backlash. And on sunday starbucks ended the initiative saying however, that limited run was always the plan from the beginning, and it was not affected by the backlash. So its just back to regular lattes. They can rewrite their name wrong. Yeah exactly. Back to misspelling your name. A lot of people think this was wellintended but poorly executed. There are parts of the initiative they should still do. Disadvantaged youth, and putting more starbucks in certain areas. Yeah. Lesson learned here. This next story is why i love sports. One of the biggest stories from march madness has been Georgia State, and its coach, ron hunter. The team star player his son, rj. Remember this while celebrating one win, the coach tore his achilles tendon and then scoring the gamewinning threepointer at the buzzer. Coach hunter fell off his rolling chair. But we have to tell you, Georgia State cinderella run ended over the weekend in a heartbreaking loss to xavier. During a post Game Press Conference hunter repeatedly said he didnt want his players to be sad. But then he lost control of his own emotions when reflecting on something more personal. As a coach, best time of my life. But as a father. I love this kid, man. I love him. Ron hunter for president. I love that. I really do. Beautiful. Really is. Everybody talks about your brackets and who won and who lost. But thats a moment i think that i will i watched it with my son. It was a nice moment too. Well there is no segue to this one. Candace bergen always a straight shooter. Has a new memoir not pulling any punches about her looks. This is what she writes. Let me just come right out and say it. I am fat. I live to eat. None of this eat to live stuff. No carb is safe. She has put on 30 pounds. And she says her skinny friends are miserable, but she is satisfied. Heres something else. She has a theory. This is kind of amusing. She says women over 50 you have to choose between preserving your face or your butt. And she says she chose her face. By the way, candice is awesome and will join us. By the way, she looks great. I know. I read this article this morning where she said she was at a restaurant and had some bread and olive oil and later chocolate ice cream. Im like of course. Bread and olive oil is yummy. Lets go to l. A. Where natalie has been spending time with the cast of furious 7. Natalie, good morning to you. Hey, guys. Ive got something for you i think is definitely going to be trending later on today. I had some oneonone time with vin decemberiesel high above los angeles in a helicopter this weekend. And he opened up about the recent birth of his fourth child and officially revealed the sex and the name of his baby for the first time. And im telling you, because i love you, natalie. Aww, sweet. I really do. And i know that you are a good soul. And i know that this is in good hands. Yes. But while i was in the hospital the name that i will give you is i named her i named her pauline. Polling. Pauline. Pauline. Aww. Oh my gosh. Thats awesome. Theres no other person that i was thinking about as i was cutting this umbilical cord. I just thought i knew he was there. And it felt like you know a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world. Pauline, of course named after paul walker his good friend his soul mate as he calls him. Even calls him his brother. The two had such a close bond. Were going to hear more from vin and the rest of the furious 7 cast. And youll see more of the helicopter ride with vin friday on today, guys. Thats nice. Appreciate that. See you in a bit. Something else in hollywood thats trending the end of an era as the landmark drama, mad men, prepares for its final episodes. Were going to talk to the cast and creator of that show in a moment. First, how their show became a phenomenon. For the past eight years, we have been living in a mad world. Its not called the wheel. Its called a carousel. Reporter mad men told us the story of don draper, an ad exec in the 1960s, trying to balance being a family man, a ladies man and a good man. Viewers fell for don, his colleagues remember don, when god closes the door he opens a dress. And his family. I dont have to tell you anything. As they navigated the world through times that are changing. Debuting in 2007 mad men instantly gained critical acclaim. Of going on to win 15 emmy awards and becoming a cultural phenomenon. The show spawned parties and parodies. Would you like for us to show you some ideas, mr. Draper . Yes. Mad men became water cooler fodder devoted fans dishing about every memorable moment. Every fight. You never say thank you thats what the money is for every fling. I want you. Every heart break. How could you do this to me . Now, the end is near. And theres no question were mad to see it go. And the stars of mad men, Jon Hamm Elisabeth Moss Cristina Hendricks and January Jones and matthew winer. Nice to see you all. How are you doing . Thanks for having us. Sit back and take it in for a moment. Is this the last time well see you together in a long time . Yes. Yes . The shooting for all of this happened a while ago. Yes. Right . So its wrapped. Youve done your jobs. Raise your hand if youre a little bit nervous, because this tends to happen with great series that the audience is going to file in the next day and go oh thats not how we wanted it to end. Are you nervous about that . No . Always. About every episode. Yeah . Do you think you have done justice to each of these characters in their final episode . I hope so. I mean we followed the story. You know every show has its own ending and we followed the story and the writers and myself we tried to find the right thing for the characters. Thats what drove it so theres no device you know. Theres no big secret that has to be revealed or anything. So its sort of the end of the story. A couple random samplings. John are you happy with the way it ends for your character . I am. I was surprised when i read it. And but i think matthew did whats most difficult, is to be surprising and then after you read it you think, well thats made sense. It seems inevitable thats the way it would have turned out. Ladies what about you . Happy with the way it ended for your characters . I was really happy. I was surprised, but also how did you manage to surprise all these people . Every week. Episode. I dont know. He wasnt surprised, because i told him like four years ago. Really . I dont know if he was surprised when i told him. I just thought that turning don into a zombie was a weird choice. I mean i thought, yeah its a thing. He was ahead of the curve. But i was still what . And inevitable. You were on a plane not long ago. He shared everything with me. He told me the entire story. I thought that plane was going down, man. I had to get it off my chest. I had to unload. Youre welcome. This day and age, everything leaks . On social media, you can find out just about anything . How have you managed to keep this a secret . Not a lot of us are active kind of social mediaites. There is a few instagramers and tweeters but not very you know for the modern world, were pretty luddite in that sense. So i guess thats how. We were never a part of that. Our show was around before all of that became crazy. Its been easy to stay out of it. With all these seven seasons, eight years, the critical acclaim, is it is this a little like a gymnastics routine . Does it all come down to sticking the landing at the end . I hope not. I mean, i watch tv. You know theres 92 hours of it. I would hate for one hour to undo that. But that is you know your worst nightmare. I dont know. I mean its so organically related. The show is not that kind of show that has, like super i dont want to say its not dramatic but it doesnt have super, you know we have never changed the style of the show. And i think because it happens on a human scale and its related to peoples real lives, they should expect the story to be in that vein. Who has an anecdote going back to the beginning of when you knew the show had become a big deal . Was there anything that happened to any of you . You went wow, this thing is off and running . I for me i remember well between season 1 and 2, we were shooting you know we were there at l. A. Center studios, which is not a big studio and we were just kind of grinding it out, and the show aired, and was very well received critically. But i think the difference between season 1 and season 2 when people were dvring the show and you could all of a sudden save a show and hear about it and go back to the beginning, there was a big jump i think, between those two seasons, for me anyway. Suffice it to say, the beginning of this was don drapers story. The world was in a halloween costume. I predicted this. I said if we see a man dressed as joan at halloween, we made it. And that was me. Yeah. Actually rich actually dressed as joan. Did he . Did he . The don story to begin. But it seems to me that peggy, while she started off as a secretary, perfect for the times, she became in some ways the heart of the show. Did it also become peggys story . I dont know. I mean thats very difficult for me to answer obviously. Ive always this is very much dons story. And then the rest of us you know. Its hard for me to say. I mean ive been very grateful for everything ive gotten to do on the show. I think she is sort of the face of feminism in the workplace on the show which is a big story in the 60s. Ive always said its not a mistake that the series starts on peggys first day at work. I think it is very much these parallel lines that are running through this very particular place in this very particular time and these two parallel tracks on how people get ahead in that time. This next group of questions, lets just answer by pointing you guys point at the appropriate cast member okay . Ohoh. Member of the cast who had the most fun while shooting over the past seven seasons. Most fun . Nobody had fun . I think maybe we all had fun. I had a lot of fun. Member of the cast who blew the most lines over the past seven seasons. Thats probably me. Youre like the last person. I never once blew a line. Everybody behind your back is doing that. Member of the cast who had the most pieces of their wardrobe mysteriously disappear. We werent allowed to do that. We had to wear them all of the time. I took a blue coat home once and then i had to bring it back. A lot of underground weird thing. Member of the cast most likely to send you a selfie. Me . I dont know. Maybe. Yeah. You told me you didnt i did. And the member of the cast most likely to call late at night in the near future a little bit tipsy and Say Something like remember season 4, episode 3 . That is not we all do that. That is a very common occurrence right there. Does it really . You reminisce a lot on this cast . We make latenight phone calls. Were the only ones we can talk to about it. It was a lifechanging experience and its been such ten years of our lives. And were all you know weve been through so much together that theres a shorthand. And also you know people are sick of talking about it except for us. You spent a little time with the guys from entourage, and their series ended threeandahalf years ago, and theyre about to come out with entourage the movie. Would you guys be up for mad men the movie . I would be in that movie oh. Would you do a movie if it brought you all back together . If you have a script. John . For how much . A group of mercenaries here. Guys ladies thank you. Congratulations. I cant wait to see how this all ends. Thank you. Thank you very much. And, again, mad men final run begins april 5th on amc. Savannah. Matt just as exciting what will we make today . Delicious meal one pot. I dont know if it will be as fun and interesting as mad mens ending but it will be a good dinner for tonight. Lets get a selfie. Well be back. Good morning, im vai sikahema. Lets get our first alert forecast from meteorologist bill henley. Bill. Vai, it is a sunny start but a cold one too. Here it is the first monday of springtime and it feels like winter. And now the wind is picking up to make it feel even colder. Thats a live view from center city, a sunny view though. 28 degrees right now in philadelphia millville, wildwood also at 28 degrees. Its 23 in pottstown. Bright sunshine northwesterly winds 15 miles an hour gusting to 20 miles an hour but highs only in the 40s this afternoon. Lets get a check on traffic with christine. Looks like a lot of volume. Still a slow go on interstate 95 southbound. They havent recovered from an earlier disabled bus plus all the volume. Also slow on the schuylkill expressway both eastbound and westbound. If we look at your drive times, youll see that it is slow still getting a red light on 95 southbound. 50 minutes from woodhaven road to the vine street expressway. More than 30 heading eastbound on the schuylkill expressway. Philadelphia police are looking for thieves who smashed their way foo five cars and stole the air bags. This happened in the ronhurst section of the city. Somebody broke into four hondas and stole air bags out of three of them. Someone stole air bags from nine hondas earlier this month. They can sell for up to 200 on the black market. Im vai sikahema. Well have another update in 25 minutes. You can always get the latest news and weather with the nbc 10 app. Now back to the today show. Have a great day. 8 30 now. And its a monday morning. Its the 23rd of march, 2015. And for those of you not as familiar with the canine calendar did you know that today is national puppies day . How appropriate. It is. So weve got our puppy here on the plaza, meeting some of his fans hanging out with his man, carson. Happy puppy day, everyone. Hey, come here. Nice to see you all. Come on over. Come on.

First lets bring in swimming superstar, Missy Franklin won five gold medals stretched into her collegiate career cal berkeley including titles at the ncaa championship this past weekend. Missy, good to see you. Thank you guys. So this is an announcement today thats been a long time in the making, and a lot of people know this, but the time has come for you to turn professional why now . Its so unreal. You know we made this decision coming out of london. I figured if i could get two years and go professional and have a year going into the olympic trials for rio to really set that platform for myself and that would be the best thing for me. And now its happening. I remember talking to you after the olympics. A lot of people thought you might turn pro then. It seems to me not only did you want to swim in college, you wanted to have a real college experience. Absolutely. Live in the dorms, for sure. Absolutely. I did dorm living cafeteria food. We got the whole thing. Now that youve turned pro, will you continue the dance . Oh, are you kidding . If anything it will get worse. One of the perks of turning professional you can take endorsement deals now, so you can actually be paid for your talents. So in all those hours swimming laps in the pool was there one splurge item you were thinking when that happens, i want to get this for myself. You know there is really not an item. Someone asked me the first thing i want to do and its going to be taking my parents out to dinner. And getting a nice nice meal. Right over here too. Which is great. Theyre so wonderful. Well congratulations. Thank you so much. You guys have been so wonderful. Well see you in rio. Hopefully. I think thats a given. All right, thank you. Lets get a check of the weather. Of course i am still yet to turn professional. Today a clipper bringing snow and rain and some heavier showers down through the south. Look for wet weather in the pacific northwest. Snow through the plains. And rain down through florida. Tomorrow weve got sunny skies in the northeast, chillier than usual. Slight risk of strong storms in the central plains. Wet weather in the pacific northwest, icy mix in the river valley. Heat continues through the southwest. Thats whats going on around the co good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. It feels like winter outside. Bundle up if youre heading out the door and dont forget your sunglasses. Lots of sunshine, breezy and chilly too. Upper 30s and low 40s. About 15 degrees colder than normal for this time of the year. Chill in the air tomorrow morning, not all that much warmer tomorrow afternoon. The warmup will come with some wet weather later wednesday and thursday when it will be closer to 70 degrees. Slight chance of thunderstorms thursday, then drying out as we head toward the weekend. Have a great day. Dont forget. Get your weather any time you need it. Go to the Weather Center on cable and weather. Com online. Lets head back to natalie in los angeles, where she caught up with the cast of furious 7. May, matt and savannah we met up with the cast and director in the backyard of the house for those not familiar with the movies the home of don toretteoe toretto. Its also a place that plays a significant role in the franchise. A place where the group comes together to barbecue and give thanks for all they have. And the cast considers themselves much more than co stars. They consider themselves very much a family and all suffered a huge loss when a member of their family paul walker died while making the movie. Obviously, its got to be really difficult time to be doing the press tour and promoting a film at the same time. Youre also dealing and talking about the loss of your friend paul walker. I want to talk about paul. I want to celebrate his life. I want to talk about how amazing he was. I want to talk about how much we bonded over being dads about our daughters. As hard as it is it was our opportunity to come together and create something special. Number one, for his family. Number two, in his honor. Number three, for the fans. Jordana, you, of course play his wife. And had such close connection to him throughout the film. How did you process and deal with the grief that you were feeling . I dont think theres im still sort of processing it. And i dont think its something any of us will ever get over. He was the most wonderful, light, beautiful spirit ever. And hell be forever missed. I loved that boy so much. I just cant talk without cracking you know. Sorry. You know i presented the first movie the first screening in california just a week ago, and i was talking about the movie, and i saw a picture of paul and i was affected a little bit and started to get choked up a little bit. And someone in the audience yelled youve got family here vin. And i thought, thats so powerful. And thats such a testament to what we do and what we bring to the table and i think the world just appreciates that kind of brotherhood and that kind of camaraderie and that kind of family that they see only in this franchise. And when it goes off the screen its really special. But i dont think they understand how much pressure their love puts us under. Because pressure can either bust pipes or make diamonds. And we have decided to try our best to allow for the pressure to create diamonds. You shouldnt come into this with a heavy heart. Everyones first instinct is to be sad and bound. But this is the same fast furious were all used to but its bigger and busier. As paul would say, youve got to promote, dog. Its seeing the ending of the film without giving it away obviously, or giving too much of the plot line away. How do you feel that it really honored him . Oh man. I dont think there was any better way to honor him. It was such it was graceful it was classy it was elegant, it was everything that it needed to be. And i think i dont think theres one person thats going to disagree with that when they see the ending of this film. And im just extremely happy of the way it was creatively done. We all knew that it was our job to leave the legacy for someone we loved and someone the world loved. And thats why the ending is as precious as it is. Vin, do you want to lead us in a toast as you do as the sort of father figure of this family . Im just happy that ive got a team like the team weve got here and without this team none of this would have happened. I love all of you. Im just grateful. Hear hear to family. To family. Well it should be pointed out that before paul walker died, he had completed 85 of the film and once vin diesel and the rest of the cast got the blessing of walkers family they felt they needed to go on they needed to finish the film for pauls legacy and his fans. And were going to have much more with the cast coming up in our next hour as well. And guys of course furious 7 opens nationwide april 3. A lot of people looking forward to this one.

Hes channelling his inner rock star in a brandnew movie called danny collins. He plays an aging singer who after discovering a letter from john lennon sets off on a quest to find the family he left behind on the way to the top. Big day for me. Im meeting someone for the first time. How do i look . Honestly . If this relationship is going to go the distance mary i think we should be honest with one another. Okay. Well you look slightly ridiculous. Nah. I look sharp. Al pacino welcome back. How are you . Hi. Well thank you. Its been a while. Im glad to see you here. How do you like the sound of that rock star . Ive always wanted to play a someone who can sing and dance. And even though i cant thats a good question. When they came to you about this role did they say to you, al can you sing . No actually. They assumed. By being italian and all, i guess that most no. This guy, dan foley, who wrote and directed was so keen on my playing the role. Hes just wonderful, by the way. Hes a wonderful person. He wrote crazy stupid love and he just saw me in the role. And i think when a director sees you in a part even though you might not feel that way i felt that way about godfather. When francis copala wanted me i thought hes wrong. But he so wanted me. And made it possible for the studios didnt want me at the time at all. For godfather . Yeah well i was unknown at the time. But he fought for me. It was part of his vision. All of the characters. Don, jimmy khan, sonny, robert duvall. It was all his vision. And so this guy has me as a rock star and its who he saw in his head. Were you nervous to get out . Youve done everything in acting. And you can take on any role. But to sing on camera is the whole different animal. I know it is. Were you nervous . Well i was nervous. I had good support. Like dan knew people. Musical people who worked with me. And i did a thing with chicago at the greek theatre. Greek theatre. Were you there . Thank you, mark. So we were at the greek theatre, and there chicago was playing, and dan folderman arranged during intermission i would come on as danny collins, the character in the movie, and he would introduce me. And they were so good about it because they said we have an actor here working on his role. Unknown guy. Unknown. And he says if you would stick around its al pacino playing danny collins. And i went out there with thousands and thousands of people and the chicago band behind me and i sang this song. I was so glad i had the character to play. Because if i just came on without any character Jennifer Garner was here a couple days ago, my little birdie and she tells me this song hey baby doll, you sang everywhere you went on the set. I had to. Were you just trying to stay in character or drive people crazy . No i just knew that i would i had my little son at the time tell me i would say, antoine, how does it go again . And he would say hey baby and he would get the right note. And i would lose the what is it the notes, or music of it. And just lose it. So i would sing it as much as i could. Because theres nothing in the world like singing a song and forgetting it while youre singing it. Forgetting the lyrics. You mentioned youve got a young son. How old . Now hes 14. 14 years old. This may sound like a weird question to ask you. But does he understand what a big deal you are you . Well i try to keep him out of it. But i think you know hes starting to get it a little bit, when he sees the crowds. No he does sort of understand im famous. Its there only when its there, you know. Its only when its up. But do your children understand . Try to keep a line between the two, but i have a feeling youre someone when he gets a little older hes going to be so proud of his dad. Oh gee, wow. I hope so. I feel very great about him. Hes really special. So is my daughter my daughters. Life is good. Life seems to be. Im Still Standing here as they say. Were sitting here. Keep doing it all right . This one is called danny collins. Dont make it ten years between the next visit, all right . Well okay. Ill just come by. Its very friendly here. Come by any time. Danny collins is playing now in select theaters. Savannah . Thank you so much. Look who is here. Giada de laurentiis. Were giving a challenge. Can you get dinner on the table in 35 minutes or less . And you can. We knee giada can. But can we are the evident of us . Savannah you can. First, this is today on nbc. We are back with something new in todays kitchen, week night wonders. All this week we are featuring healthy meals you can whip up in 35 minutes or less. All you need is Giada De Laurentiis in your kitchen. Talented today contributor. The gang is downstairs. All they have to do is eat. All right. So commence eating gang while we teach how to make this. Theyre going to warn you about it. We start with kale pesto. Have you ever made a pesto . No i have not. Do you like pesto . I love pesto. Traditionally, its made with basil and parsley. Were going to change it up and use baby kale. This is the difference. This is what baby kale looks like you can touch it. Yes. Get to know it. This is regular kale. Thats that chewy kind. This dont use, because its just too tough. The baby kale is great. We use some walnuts. Quarter cup of walnuts. Hold on hold on. One garlic clove. Just dump it in there . Dump it in there. Im telling you, you can do this. Orange juice and orange zest is the key to bringing it to life. Orange juice, and i just use regular buy an orange. Orange juice, orange zest. Yes, the zest of the orange. And remember zest the orange before you juice it. Once you cut the orange then its im going to pretend i understood that. Kale. Throw it in there. You can find this at the Grocery Store these days usually either in bulk whats the other kind rubbery kind called regular kale . Yes. Lots of different kale but this is the best kind. And i found that for jade because kale is not something that kids really like to eat, this is a great way to incorporate greens into their diet. Smart. Yes so we are going to put the lid on. Actually im going to put some salt and red pepper flakes. I just put a tiny bit. Not spicy, but brings out the flavor. All right. Okay. Okay. Press start. Im going to teach its not on. There we go. Break it all up. This is how its broken up. Now you stop it. Now you take the lid off. You want to add the olive oil later. A dash . No twothirds of a cup. Oh wow. Ready . How do you know . There you go. You can measure it out for yourself. I know because ive done a lot of pesto. Measure everything out and youre good to go. Am i still going . You want to make sure it comes together. See . Okay. Done. There we go. We take this off. And were going to dump a cup of Parmesan Cheese. Let me ask this. Why do you have to do it piece by piece . Well the olive oil you want to add as its combining, and the Parmesan Cheese heats up with the blade. And this you dont want to change the texture. It can get rubbery. You could do it that way. And the flavor might be different. Trying to learn. Okay done. So forget it. Come over here. This is what it looks like. Now, you can make this in advance, even the day before if you like. Then the whole trick to making a dinner in 35 minutes is start with the pasta, because thats what takes the longest to cook. So they say usually eight to ten minutes for the pasta. So in those eight to ten minutes, you could do that. Any rhyme or reason why you choose this particular pasta . Yes, the whole idea youll find very soon when your daughter starts to eat food kids like pasta, but different shapes. These are known as gimelli, in italian means twins. And two twins hug together. I like to tell stories, because it helps make it interesting for her. Gang how are you liking this by the way . Really good. Are you learning a lot in this cooking segment . Another cup of cheese. Pasta water. Pasta water. Row tis tree chicken. You bought a predone rotisserie chicken. Smart. Put some muscle. I know you have it. I dont want to spill. Thats why im trying to be careful. Youve not going to spill. Keep going. From the bottomup. From the bottom up. There you go. Wow. Olives. I use three different kinds of ol i was, just for different colored texture. Use whatever you want. And saltiness, too. Brininess, and velvety. Looks good. This is the thing. I was trying to show one of the girls in the kitchen earlier. That you want to to say from the bottom up. You see how it gets creamy . If you just go like that it just stabs the pasta and the sauce goes to the bottom. I like it. Thats your pasta, done. Ten seconds to describe the lettuce. En dive radicchio, green. Put it any way you want. Couple minutes each side. And you grill it. And then you flip it. You chop it up. Looks delicious. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and you are done. These guys are pigging out down there. How is it . So good. Goes a long way. Delicious. Remember 35 minutes cooking, start with whatever takes longest. Make Everything Else while the pasta is cooking. Giada, thank you so much. Gang good job. Thank you. Were doing a whole week of this. Weeknight wonders. Check out the recipes on today. Com. Well be back in a moment. This is today on nbc. Whats coming up guys .

And a sneak peek inside Kylie Jenners new mansion. All that and more coming up, right now. From nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall. Live, from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hey welcome to today on a monday morning, march 23, 2015. Im al roker along with the lovie tamron and fabulous jenna. Willie is off today and natalie in l. A. Catching up with the cast of furious 7. Actually, natalie is joining the cast. I think i am. I think this is my third. I traveled with them to rio, london and obviously here for this one. Its exciting. Were going to check in with natalie in just a bit. Hang in there. So here we are, we are off and running officially. Only 560something days until the 2016 election. Thats 596 days. Texas republican senator ted cruz announcing his bid for the presidency with a tweet. Im running for president and i hope to earn your support. And then he posted a 30second video to his twitter account which is a lot different from when your dad did this. Well thats true. Thats true. Who . You know, it was 1999. I think it was a press conference. I wasnt there, which was very kind of my parents to allow us to sort of be in not be in the limelight. We were 18 years old, wanting to be normal college kids. We tried to veto the idea, but that didnt work obviously. Did you really want to veto it . We you know no. I mean, we wanted him to do what made him happy. But we were also when youre 18, youre pretty selfish. Sure. But you think about it, and in 1999, there was no facebook. No twitter. There was no twitter. No instagram. So i think social media is the way of the campaign, and it also is happening earlier and earlier, which makes me more and more scared. More and more money, the earlier you launch your campaign, the more money you have to raise. Its interesting that hes not giving the speech in our home state of texas. No. Hes going to virginia. Virginia Liberty University. So kind of interesting. Your dad announced his speech in iowa. I guess its a swing state. And virginia has become a swing state. I think hes doing that at 10 00 a. M. All right. And were off. Pizza delivery. I love this. Its the best ever. Pope francis has said that all he wants to do or one of the things he does miss in his new position of course, is the ability to just go out and not be recognized at a pizzeria. This is what pope francis said. On saturday, you ask, and guess what it comes from heaven. In naples specifically. A pizzeria owner handdelivered the pope a pizza. Now this was a risky move. You know that. You jump a security fence, let alone one with the pope on the other side. That pizza and you might go flying. People give kind of strange things to famous people. Im sure you guys have received flowers we get food on the plaza all of the time. People bring certain specialties from their home state that they love. And they want to share with us here all of the time. Have you ever gotten anything as messy as a pizza . That could go awry. If that pizza messed up his white rope . He got it to go. Thats the best part. Literally. Hes in the pope mobile. Thats better than a drivethrew. The big question, did he eat the pizza . He cant eat it. Do you guys like Ariana Grande . Bang bang was our original song for the summer. She sat in that chair. What . I feel very lucky. Thats right. Okay. She was on the tonight show with jimmy fallon and showed off her celine dion impression during a duet with beauty and the beast. Certain as the sun okay. So one of my favorite interviews ive ever done was with celine dion. And i she is so great, of course. But i told her i sing her song in meatloaf for my goto karaoke. Okay. So youve got to do it. Now im thinking meatloaf. Thats when the wind was so cold who was that . Thats celine dion excuse me. Thats a great impression. Whats yours . I dont have one. Whats your goto impression. Come on, al. I really dont. Go to meatloaf now. Go ahead. They do kind of sound baby is that strange . Go meatloaf. Lets see. I would do anything for love but i wont do that wow. Powerful. They like it. Powerful. Crowdpleaser. Look at tamrons face. Im just begging for me. Thats what my heart is telling me. Yeah, give me more. I didnt know that celine and meatloaf were from texas. Thats what i was thinking. Wow. Theyre southern. Quebec, texas. You had a fun weekend. What did i do . I had the pleasure of going to a reetha franklins Birthday Party last night at the ritzcarlton. Thats lee daniels from empire, the man behind the show. I totally eaves dropped on the conversation of lee telling Aretha Franklin i want you to make a guest appearance on empire. Clive davis was there. You name it. It was amazing. And she had a brazilian dance troup and i just emailed her. Im still trying to recover. Aretha franklin. You know how funny it is to follow tamron on social media . I was lying in bed in my green froggy pajamas, which my husband finds so attractive, i can can tell you that. And i put my baby to bed. And i said oh, look tamron is at rihannas Birthday Party. Because i said tamron really lives the life. Not at all. Yes, you do, girl. Just a few hours before that, my mom was in town and i was making chicken pot pies with sage biscuits. And then weve got your weekend. My mom was also in town. She came yesterday. And its so funny because my daughter has become a 2 yearold. Like, overnight. So look at that little aww she looks just like you. She is so cute. Look at her sweater. I know. But she we told her, grammy is coming. And the most the hardest part about being away from my family is that she thinks grammy is right down the street. So every saturday morning, im like what do you want to do today . Grammys house . And im like, oh no, it takes a plane and some cash. Do you skype . We facetime a lot. She is having coffee and she is having leche. We told her grammy is coming and it was too early. We totally over she over anticipated it. So every time the dinger would ring, grammy and then it wasnt. And then melt. There was some tantrums happening. And then what did you do . Lets get to natalie first. Natalie had perhaps a pretty terrific weekend, i would say. Vindiesel, spilling the name of his child exclusively. Sweet story. Yeah, that was just such a touching moment. I had a chance to obviously sit down with the entire cast. Youre going to see that coming up in just a little bit. A little bit more of that interview i did earlier. I did get a chance to fly over the skies of l. A. With vin diesel. We had a little oneonone. And he got very personal. While the movie is being premiered were already starting to see some early screenings. He did say that during that time, his partner was having their child. So he actually left one of the screenings early to go be with his partner, and just a week and a half ago, he had a little baby girl, his fourth child. And he told me that he named his daughter pauline, after, of course his very close friend paul walker, who died while making the film. And it was such a close personal friend, soul mate brother. So he said he felt like paul was in the room. He said his mother even felt it. And he said while i was cutting that umbilical cord, there was you know, no one else that i wanted to carry on with his name. And i wanted to make sure that paul was always in my life and in my heart. And by naming his daughter, pauline, he now continues with his legacy with her beautiful name. Guys . Sweet. Sweet story. Really is. And you could tell natalie was getting tearyeyed which is why i love her. I was like, oh sweet, yeah. Very heart felt moment. Thanks, natalie. And everybody is talking about the ending. This tribute to paul walker. Cannot wait to see that. Im not used to getting out from the middle chair to do weather. Tell us what you did over the weekend while you walk. It wasnt worth it. I meerkated breakfast. Can you use meerkat as a verb . Meerkat. What did you make for breakfast . I made nikki pancakes i made myself little mini omelettes. Egg white omelettes. You cant find it now once its done, its done. Thats that. More snow in chicago. They have been getting a pretty good dusting of snow. But some of the outlying suburbs really picked up a lot, and theres some problems on the roads. This will end relatively quickly. Were looking at about 2 to 5 inches of snow from Northern Illinois into central indiana. And then weve got a lot of wet weather down through florida. So all the spring breakers down there central florida, tampa were looking at some rain. Orlando is going to see some showers, as well. But then well gradually get some clearing and just have some hit or miss showers and thunderstorms. But look at this. Between tampa and daytona, right around orlando, were talking about 1 to 2 inches of rain. Thats whats going on arou good morning, im meteorologist bill henley. It feels like winter outside. Bundle up if youre heading out the door and dont forget your sunglasses. Lots of sunshine, breezy and chilly too. Upper 30s and low 40s. About 15 degrees colder than normal for this time of the year. Chill in the air tomorrow morning, not all that much warmer tomorrow afternoon. The warmup will come with some wet weather later wednesday and thursday when it will be closer to 70 degrees. Slight chance of thunderstorms thursday, then drying out as we head toward the weekend. Have a great day. Two texans up here. Who do they not realize is from texas . Meatloaf.

The action bigger, cars faster fans revved up for furious 7. The newest film in the fast furious franchise has been a labor of love after losing paul walker. Natalie sat down with the cast and crew. I had the chance to gather the cast of furious 7 around the table for a conversation about continuing on and finishing the film after suffering such a loss. Their brother, as they call paul walker, is very much on all of their minds. But they say they see the film as a way to celebrate his legacy. I had to gather the family around the table because it just seems appropriate to be here at the toretto house, and in the backyard and this barbecue, like you guys do in the film. And i cant believe how much youve already eaten. I know. How much she eats. I have to apologize. I ate a lot of the beans. Were prepped, were ready. Move away from her. Were outdoors. Obviously, its got to be really difficult time to be doing the press tour, and promoting a film at the same time. Youre also dealing and talking about the loss of your friend, paul walker. Yeah. Yeah. How much does that weigh on you all . As much as we could find ourselves feeling like, man isnt it selfish to be promoting and sell all this energy about the movie when the obvious happened. But its that is the reason to do it because acting is art. And paul is a part of this culture and our world. And what we all did together for all of these years. And we want the world to know that this is some beautiful art that he left us with. When i finally saw the movie i breathed a huge sigh of relief, because it is beautiful and he is so good in it and the tribute to it is so fitting and beautiful. And i am really happy that fans get to see that. No matter what conversations we had with him it would always circle back around to how much he liked to give. And his humanitarian efforts and philanthropic efforts and reach out worldwide organization. No matter what, it would always come back to how he wanted to change the world. And he still is doing that. His brothers were so key in helping you to complete the film, james. Are they now part of this big family, as well . You know, directing his brothers and directing them to work with everyone else here i think gets everyone here closure, as well. And i think you know i think that was something that was very important for us. When we all clearly could see that pauls brothers look exactly like him, and we got into how to move forward, and they were physically on the set with us every day, we actually felt like our brother was still with us. Twainduane, you came into the family later in fast 5. Was it apparent to you right away this was a bond that was going to be forever . I had the privilege of coming into something that was already established and incredibly successful before i got there. Because we were all friends outside of the movie. We would see each other around, support each others movies. We had the same he has a picture of me on his lower back. Is that true . Ive got to see it come on we have such a great team. Its not like other movies. When we come to work we all want the movie to be as special as possible. We all knew that it was our job to leadve the legacy for someone we love and someone the world loved. And thats why the ending is as precious as it is. To you, james. Yeah. Everyone, everyone. Everyone. Well, it was as you saw an emotional conversation but also one filled with a lot of laughs. And as you get a sense of hanging out with them, this is a group that truly is a family on and off the set as well. Guys . Oh natalie, thanks. So great. Furious 7 by universal opens nationwide on april 3. Got to see that. Up next all the news you need to know before you head out the door. And what scandal star Kerry Washington did that brought a cheering crowd to its im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first.

While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

He told me to use pronamel. Its gonna help protect the enamel in your teeth. It allows me to continue to drink my coffee and to eat healthier and it was a real easy switch to make.

Its a stranger with one secret that could entirely unravel a family. Good to see you. Good morning how are you this morning . How much fun was it writing about the power of a single secret and the Ripple Effect it can cause . A lot. I love doing that. I love taking an ordinary family, everything kind of going well, and just a few words whispered and the whole world explodes. Its fun. Was it also kind of dark to write . A dark tale. Were you kind of scared of your own writing or not . Ive always wondered that. Actually when im writing it, no. I just want to figure ways of getting emotional. I want you to keep turning pages. I want to stir your mind, your pulse, and mostly your heart. I want you to really care about these people and thats what ive concentrating on. Mission accomplished. Al has dubbed you twopage harr lamb. Two pages in the New York Times people adore your writing. Thank you. Have you ever thought about romantic comedy or rom com . Nah. A romance novel. Yeah. I have love stories, but theyre usually a little dark. Just a little bit. Keep you up at night, im hoping. Just about all of your books have been set in suburban new jersey. You have lived there. Raised your family there. And theres a little bit of a tongue in cheek sort of quality to this. Do you enjoy sending up some of your neighbors . Especially in this one. Its a real satiric look at the suburbs, how much we care about our kids sports, how much we worry about inane things. The american cream, but where the dream comes true, but can darken a nightmare. I like to poke fun at myself, too. Im guilty as much as anyone else. Watching your kid at a sporting event. You only see your kid. You want to see Everything Else but really only see your kid. Its an interesting dichotomy. The power of secrets. Do you believe you should tell secrets or keep them . Well let the book decide. Personally, though. No, well, i dont i think its okay to have secrets. But not too many secrets. What kind of secrets . Do you have skeletons in that closet . Not me. Not me. But al no. So heres your stories i mean, theres some intrigue, some darkness. But lately a lot of mysteries and thrillers have gone so very dark. And disturbing. Have you bucked that trend, stayed away from that . I have no interest in extreme violence or any of that kind of thing. I want it to be a story you can see yourself in. I want at the end you to wonder if you would do the same thing as the bad guy. And in the case of the stranger, my most shocking ending. Were you fooled by the ending . Uh, sort of, yes. I was. It didnt matter, because it was the journey, it really is the journey. Thank you. I started to suspect about maybe three quarters of the way but i wasnt even sure. Cool. Thats kind of what i wanted. I wanted to keep you up all night. Thats my goal. I dont want to gross you out. I have no interest in that. I want you to take this book to bed at 11 00, and read for ten minutes and next thing you know its 4 00 in the morning and youre cursing me. Or you guys, youre waking for work. The heartracing experience for you when youre writing, do you feel that same stimulation . I do. At the end of a book, i wrote the last 40 pages of this book in one day. What . I could barely keep up with my fingers. My pulse is racing. Im not shaving. My family is afraid of me. Throw it at daddy and run. And im just gone, writing that fast.

Ive had it with my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The frustration. Covering up. So i talked with my doctor. He prescribed enbrel. Enbrel is clinically proven to provide clearer skin. Many people saw 75 clearance in 3 months. And enbrel helped keep skin clearer at 6 months. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis,lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising bleeding, or paleness. Finally, clearer skin for more than a few days, weeks or months. Enbrel works for me. Ask your dermatologist if you can have clearer skin with enbrel its the beginning of the end for Emmy Award Winning mad man.

And here to get us ready for the final episode whether we like it or not is jon hamm, elisabeth moss, Matthew Weener Christina hendrixs and January Jones. Is it really coming to an end . No. What did people say when they found out this suz going to be the end of it. What kind of reaction are you getting in. I suppose it wasnt a surprise. I think everyone knew that eventually the show would end. But people are fortunate lit for us very investsed in the show and the story of the characters and people theyve sat with for the better part of a decade in their living room. Its bittersweet. You know we finished shooting in july and so weve kind of been sitting with it for a while. But yeah, its very exciting to get to share it. Was it an emotional ending for you guys on the set . A big fight. What was it like . Long time resentments bubbling up. It was sad. I mean you know, it was kind of a parade of last days of various people had their last day and then there was the final day of shooting. It was sad. I knew it would be and it kind of hit me. I was still surprised by how emotional it got. We hear there were tears from pretty much everybody. Was it exhaustion relief or what . Again, from the fistfights. A lot of face shots. Had to be some relief to get out of the corsets and the bras. I still wear those underwear. They were comfortable. Were you kind of excited for a new venture around the corner . No. No. No. Yeah, it really is hard to say goodbye. Was such a charmed experience in so many ways. We have kind of what happens with an underdog situation. Were kind of close tore each other in a weird way. We never knew if we would go beyond the pilot. We didnt expect it to go this long and you definitely want to get off the air before people say, is this still on . But it was such a great Work Experience and people would go off during the breaks and come back to it like theyre home. Theres such a high expectation for the finale of anything. Did you guys like how your charactered wrapped up at the end . You did . Yeah. I didnt know. I was so pleased when i read it. I really was. I was pleased, too. All right. So one of the things you guys do a lot on the show is you like to imbibe in a few beverages. There for 369 alcoholic beverages poured in the office in the pilot. Well, we can relate. We were actually drinking. What were you drinking . Its colored water basically. What were you actually smoking . Pot. Its legal in california, you guys. No. Theyre herbal cigarettes that have not addictive qualities. It was delicious. Early in the morning, a big cigarette and some onion water. Did you love the fashions of that era . Did you find yourself transforming into your character because you had on the right that has to help. It definitely helps a lot. Weirdly it felt like my work clothes. There was obviously so much focus on the fashion because it was so beautiful and unusual for if everyone else. For me it was just what i wore to work. A little souvenir, who took what .

He prescribed enbrel. Enbrel is clinically proven to provide clearer skin. Many people saw 75 clearance in 3 months. And enbrel helped keep skin clearer at 6 months. Enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis,lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. Before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. You should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising bleeding, or paleness. Finally, clearer skin for more than a few days, weeks or months. Enbrel works for me.
