Live from Studio 1A
It's a little before 7am on Monday morning, the first day of our Where in the World series. So many people are curious about this series, and Matt's secret whereabouts really get us buzzing. This weekend, a few friends came up to me asking where Matt would be. And the honest answer is I don't really know. All of our anchors repeatedly say on the show that the destinations are kept top-secret, and that is absolutely the case. Unless you are working on one specific day, for the most part the answers are kept hush-hush. When video segments from the producers in the field are fed into New York, they often feed them with secret code titles so everyone seeing lists of feeds doesn't know the destinations. Producers working on the series just refer to everything by number -- Day 1, Day 2, and so on. I even just went looking in our file where all scripts are kept, hoping to find some scripts from this morning's segment. I got nothing. All the written segments about the series are not in the general file. And all of Matt's segments on the rundown are listed as "Location TBA" for this morning. So it really is kept top secret. Or maybe I just don't know where to look. Either way, we've got about 15 minutes left until Matt's eighth globe-trotting trek kicks off. Stay tuned. And you can follow Matt's journey on our website
