OK, so this is the big news.
So the last time you were here, we
found out that you have a huge crush on Roger Federer.
And so we gave you a cardboard cutout to put in your office.
Where do you keep that, by the way?
Well, you sent it to me FedEx, which
I don't know how that happened, because it's life sized.
It's like 6'2".
So we have a house upstate.
And we have a bar in the basement.
We call it the bomb shelter.
And Roger is the bartender.
Oh.
But it's really funny, because he's in the basement.
So it's kind of dark.
And people visit, and they're like, ah!
It's kind of creepy.
It is kind of creepy.
And he's shirtless.
Yeah.
And actually, Jenna Bush came over
and had a couple of too many.
And she broke Roger's arm.
Oh no!
Yeah, but we taped him back together.
Because I can give you another one.
No, no.
We have--
[LAUGHTER]
We have a lot of them.
So since then, you've met him?
You've played with him?
Yes, I did.
I mean, it's crazy.
Well, first of all, the fact that you talked
about my obsession with Roger really
put it into the mainstream.
And so it got back to Roger.
And so his people called me and said,
would you like to play in this celebrity tennis tournament
with him, which of course--
I hadn't even met him--
which course, I was like, yes.
One thing, I'm not very good at tennis.
And I was hoping his agent would be like, oh, that's all right.
It's for charity.
You don't need to be good.
He was like, oh, well, my colleague will be in.
He can scout you on Monday.
I had go play tennis.
Like, I had to audition.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, and I hadn't played since tennis camp.
But I guess, whatever, I made it and decided to do it.
And then I was really bad at it.
Well, I mean, anyone's going to be bad-- where are you?
Well, that's me in the skirt.
OK.
And that's Bill Gates.
OK.
Yeah, and I kept--
I kept missing the ball.
And they were miked.
And Roger's like, Savannah--
Oh, oh.
[LAUGHTER]
Wow.
He goes, stop looking at me, and start looking at the ball.
It was totally humiliating.
But who was this scout that got you through, though?
I know, exactly.
He needs to be fired.
And Bill Gates was playing with Roger?
Yes, and Bill is very-- a good tennis player--
Was he good?
--and also extremely competitive,
and had actually watched some of my game tapes.
Like, I posted a few practice sessions on Instagram.
And then it turned out Bill had seen them.
And then he wanted to play together before the match.
And I'm like, hey, guys, spoiler alert, I'm terrible.
Yeah.
Well, I know.
We see that.
[LAUGHTER]
You're horrible.
Yeah, but I got to meet Roger.
Yes.
So it was crazy.
I saw him.
And he was just--
I was only-- I had been in makeup for, like,
just eight or nine hours.
That's all?
And then he was really nice.
He was like, oh, I feel like I know you.
Oh, that's so sweet.
So he lived up to your expectations?
Yes, and exceeded them.
I would like him to be on the show.
So if this will get back to you, Roger I
would like you to be on the show.
And I could be there, too, if you want--
I'd just introduce you.
[LAUGHTER]
'Cause now, we're like--
I kind of know him now.
Well, yeah, sure.
Yeah.
OK, then you should be here for sure.
OK, good.
All right.
All right, so let's talk about the Today Show.
You and Hoda seem to be really--
the chemistry is great.
You're having a good time.
We're having the best time.
I mean, we-- yeah, we just click.
And it's just-- it was so unexpected
and obviously was a hard situation when it first
happened.
And we're so happy to have each other.
And I always say, I'm like, we don't need sunshine.
We have Hoda.
And she is the best partner.
And I just love working with her.
And everyone loves Hoda, right?
I mean, I'm surprised there wasn't--
[CHEERING]
Hoda's like-- the thing about Hoda
is, everyone normal, all of us, we love Hoda.
Celebrities love Hoda.
Like, her phone-- she has everyone's text message.
Like, I'm like, what are you-- is that Kelly Clarkson texting
you right now?
She has everybody's My mom's like, I have book club tonight.
And her text is, like, from Sandra Bullock.
It's amazing.
Wow.
Well, maybe she asks the publicist
for the number or something.
No.
You should start asking for-- no?
I think that the people are like, god, Hoda,
you're so great.
Like, you probably text with Hoda.
I don't.
Well, you should.
I don't.
Maybe she hasn't asked me for my number.
I would text with her.
I feel like celebrities like her so much, they're like,
here are my digits.
Oh, wow.
But that never happens to me.
Well, it will soon.
You just hang in there.
It will.
