Lets see. Wow. Yeah. How was your Super Bowl Weekend . It was a fun weekend. Yes. You went down to palm beach. I did go to palm beach. Oh, what a surprise. I go to palm beach for a book signing. Im signing books outside of jennifer millers jewelry store, a friend of ours. Right there. Love it. Who walks up screaming where is kathie lee over and over and over again but regis. He showed up, and he said i heard she was coming. Hoda, what are you doing here . So, anyway, he lathered this crowd he was in the middle of it. Oh, so sweet of them to come by. Oh, my god. He kept going i know shes here. Everybody said is she here . Such a troublemaker. Thats the crowd. We get together for dinner as often as we can. Usually its every six weeks or so. We pick up where we were before. Every time we would walk into a restaurant regis, i like to quietly get into a booth. He goes thats right, its regis. Look who is here. I cant get rid of her. Its kathie lee. She wants her old job back. I said ill try. Before you know it, everybody is into a lather. That place was so happy. He left, and it was over, and i was still there. Thats the way he does. He ambushes and leaves you there to pick up the pieces. You didnt have a Super Bowl Party in your house. For the first time in 27 years we did not have a Super Bowl Party. I liked it. I love all our friends who come to it, but its aloof work. Its a lot of work. Were getting too old. Let young people throw the parties, and then well come. I cant believe the game. There were so many surprises in the game. Shall we walk down memory lane a little . It started out being a blowout. Baltimore was killing it, and it looked like one of those games that you were going to yawn through like a lot of the super bowl games. Then suddenly the lights went out, which was unbelievable. For 34 minutes. The dome lights inside part of them stayed on, but most of them were off. Can you imagine how that takes all the all the momentum out of it, all the everybody was all their emotions are already on the surface. A lot of fights were breaking out. You could tell it was just very tense. I went to bed. Me too. Stoo then they turned the beat around, San Francisco, and theyve been doing apparently. They had a great comeback, and at the end they couldnt win it, but it was an exciting game, and there was a little bit of drama. I heard there was drama at the end. The two brothers, that were coaches, apparently said they werent nice enough to one another. They didnt hug. They seemed nice. Heres the thing, though. Those two if you fast forward to, like, three thanksgivings from now when its just the two of them and theyre having a conversation about that game and the coach from San Francisco thinks there was an interference called that was missed at the end and you can already picture like, i cant imagine if they dont say, look, its just me and you. You tell me that that guy can you picture it . I picture its going to be one of those things. I dont know, hoda. I doubt we will be privy to it if and when it happens. Everybody was talking about beyonce. Oh, my god. She absolutely blew it away. Killed it. Killed it. Baby its you youre the one i love youre the one i need youre the only one i see come on. Sing it, girl. Yep. And then when the lights come on. Come on. Oh, yeah. Come on. Come on, baby shes one of the finest live performers youll ever ever see in your life. Ive been around since and nobody is like beyonce. I dont know what shes fantastic. Ever, ever, ever. She just has such precision. All the great performers come here out on the plaza all the time, but i have never seen precision like her. Not like that. She practiced that one to the end. She was clearly going to singe live. She showed up with destinys child. Theyre still fantastic together. Really, really good. Im happy for her because that whole thing with the anthem before was was much ado about nothing. Much ado about nothing. Also, alicia keys, i think she was singing it live. I think in light of beyonces situation with the inaugural, i think they said, all right, since were in a super dome and lets do it live. Theres no f16 flying over or anything. She made sure you knew it was live. Playing the piano and being the way she paused. Or she was trying to remember the lyrics. Who doesnt . O, say can you see by the dawns early light see, with that song, you never know why people are taking the pauses. Is it the and the mountains and the the pressure. The pressure has to be crazy. Oh, my i got up in church yesterday to read the scripture, and he was trembling. I was. I have no idea. Yes. It was fun. The time that i sang the national anthem, ten years later i was at my friend David Friedmans partner shawns church. I said, boy, has my career done well. I went from the super bowl ten years ago to a unity church thats on top of a ford dealership. But we should point out that the last time the San Francisco 49ers won the super bowl whats the one that i did sing . You sang the anthem. That is right. Thats a little bit of history. Trivia. You know, you know. The touching moment came as the 26 kids from the chorus of the Sandy Hook Elementary School came to the stage with Jennifer Hudson and sang. Beautiful. God bless america. America the beautiful. It was so beautiful. I often enjoyed this song even more than the anthem. Its just so profoundly personal. Youre right. You can tell how it was touching the players. I mean, right before a game to feel that kind of a wash of emotion was something. That was beautiful. That was really beautiful. Thats the best of america right there. There were a lot of commercials that are that were some hits. Lots of misses, i thought. Overall, i wasnt i didnt see the second half. I did see that guy are an back the longest ever touchdown. 109 yards. That was unbelievable. That was good. One of my favorite ads was the one with the taco bell with the older crowd. Betty white was going to show up any second with off their rockers. It reminded me from cocoon. My favorite one was the clydesdales. Theyre breaking out of the old folks home. Oh. Yeah. I guess were going to watch the whole thing. Okay. Parts of it. No, its adorable. It really is. They dont stop having fun just because youre 90 or so. They were making out. You can do it. You really want to. Oh, that was the moment that joe man man. You got to see the ketchup stain. This guy sitting there and was eating fries, and out of nowhere, look what happens. Oh. Dude, you got montana on your jersey. He becomes unbelievably famous. Theyre talking about he was on the today show five times. Went like this and its real. Anyway the montana stain is taking the nation. I dont know how much were going to see of this. Lets take it to the end. Were here. I saw the stain. Put it on. Stain on a stick. Montana land. Look. Here. Where is my 49ers jerdzy . I washed it. You washed it . There was a stain on it. Oh oh. Go ravens. Come on. That was so great. I was thinking about that one this morning. When was it decided that it was going between San Francisco and baltimore . Only a couple of weeks ago. They must have had that they shot that thing that fast. Youre right. They probably they knew who was in the finals. Youre right. But isnt that amazing . A lot of those other ones are made months and months in advance. Youre right. They came up with that very, very quickly. Youre right. Can we say hi to julie . Hi, julie. Julie is over here. We did a ten years later contest winner. She has an amazing story. She has an amazing story. Shes a twotime cancer survivor. Breath cancer and ovarian cancer. Her doctors said she had a 17 chance of living, but guess what, its 2013, its six years later, and she is still defying the odds. Shes living well. Look how beautiful she is. Were going to lunch together. Okay. Excellent. Well see you later. In the meantime, we are a little late having our everyone has a story getting back on track because of the new year. Do you think beyonce is the only one that can pack a stadium . Our winners today, and we will have a song for her on thursday, is vicky. They have two names here. Lisa miller. Oh, and her daughter. All right. Lets figure it out. Rochester, new york, and vicky and lisa are on the phone now. After her son was deployed overseas, he asked her to send a gift to his girlfriend, and i guess thats who lisa is. They didnt tell me the name before. Vicky started a really cool nonprofit called full circle homes. He said if i cant be there, mom, will you take her a gift for christmas . She realized there must be so many moms or significant others that would love to receive something special, so she started doing it with the help of her friend, lisa, picked it up, and, sorry, wrote this song a long time ago. And so theyve been sending gifts to the troops. Love it. It sounded like a christmas thing in the past, but now they do it for mothers day, so we thought we would highlight their story now to give everybody time to get in their requests for mothers day. I love it. Coming up before it will be here. Sorry, guys. I butchered that. Sorry. Hey. Are you excited to come see us . Theyre excited. Are you guys drinking . Youll be here on thursday. Okay .
