The Today Show


Today I went to the today show with Hoda Kotb and Kath Lee Gifford. This media site visit was wayyyyy better than the CNN site visit. We entered the NBC building.  It was so nice. The had some Roman, Greek influenced arts on the walls and ceiling. Then we got our visitors pass and went on with our business. We first went to the green room (which wasn't really green, it was white) where all guest appearing on the Today Show wait to be aired. We stayed there until Hoda came and called us. We kept hearing "three minutes till billboard", and countdowns and stuff. Then we went to the studio set and stood on the side. I'm just thinking we are just looking at the live broadcast, and all of the sudden i see people moving and waving around me and when i turn to the screen, THERE I AM ON TELEVISION. It was sooo kewl. People outside were so jealous of us. And Rev RUn was also on the show with Justine. We met them and took pics with them. Then we kept switching rooms and floors. Then we went to a room where a person took our photo and a minute later we are already on the MSNBC website. That S*** was so fast. Then we went to the conference room and had a meeting and talk with Justin, an intern, producer for dateline, and the vice president of NBC. This was a great experience.
