Today we braved the alarm going off at 5 am and headed down to NBC Tower to see Matt and Al and of course get on national TV. It was crazy! We didn't end up being interviewed by Al (or Matt) although I would say Charlotte was the cutest baby out there!!!! Looking for us was like Where's Waldo! Kimberly called from MN and said she thought she saw us, but when I looked at the spot she said she found us, I couldn't even see us! Must be that super big screen TV they have! :) We did tape it, and yes, there are glimpses of us (more of Greg due to the 10 inches he has on me), but you'd have to know where we were. Now, although we weren't interviewed on The Today Show we did have some good interactions and photos (photos will be posted when I'm not so tired!) Charlotte at one point was crying in the background when they were showing the clip of Second City (thus you couldn't hear her) but someone said "Oh, a baby's crying!" (Not sure if it was a producer who was upset or just another fan). Matt Lauer then turned around to see us and I said "Sorry," and he said, "It's OK, we're used to it, Al cries every morning." At another point Greg had Charlotte on his shoulders and Al said, "That's a really tall baby back there."
It was a fun, crazy morning, especially since Charlotte did not take it very well for the first 2 hours we were there, but then she totally was hamming it up. One time we are on TV behind Al and Art Smith, she was clapping (and pulling the girl's hair in front of us!)
Oh, and yes, we got individual pics of Matt and Al. They are both so sweet! Lots of people were calling Al's name for photos including me and he looked at us, and said "Yes, with the baby." For Matt, we were afraid we missed our chance, until he came back out to do the intro for the west coast, and then he quickly got out of there. I started following saying "Excuse me," He turned slightly but I don't think he saw me. I was turning away dejected, but then a producer said, ""Go after him. He will take a photo with you." So I did and said "Excuse me" louder, and he saw us, stopped and took his photo with us!
