Celebs
From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines This is my favorite time of the year. Even as all of us have left
home, we do things each holiday to maintain the Haines traditions. Since actress Keri Russell was
on TODAY this morning to talk about her new film , I thought I'd ask her what makes a holiday a Russell holiday. Here's what she told me:
Martha was on talking about
apple pies and Kristen to talk about
her latest movie , "Twilight: New Moon," and this morning the two Stewarts (no relation) took a moment to take a picture in our studio.
At home with a cute baby or up close on the Plaza, here are a few videos of how you watched Bon Jovi on TODAY .

From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines I always worry about mentioning old projects with artists because you never know if it is a sore spot. Ralph could not have been more gracious regarding the movie that put him on the map.

What’s a gal got to do to get on the Emmy-winning NBC sitcom “30 Rock”? In the case of TODAY’s Meredith Vieira, pretty much anything.
Fey knew, all right: When her “30 Rock” costar Tracy Morgan appeared on TODAY last year, Meredith had locked lips with him in a faux display of passion that was, as Fey put it, “almost inappropriate.”
While Vieira maintained that she “would do more than that, if that’s what it took” to gain a guest stint on “30 Rock,” Fey bemoaned her own lack of steamy clinches on TODAY.
“Who do you want?” Meredith responded eagerly. “[Executive producer] Jim Bell? You want Al Roker?”
“I would take Al Roker,” Fey replied. Whereupon TV’s favorite weatherman stormed onto the set, dipped Tina’s head back, and pretended to give her a huge smooch. After the pseudo-clinch, Roker shook his head and bellowed, “Hoo-ha!”
“30 Rock” begins its fourth season at 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday, and while the show has long been a critic’s darling, it’s also picked up viewers every season.
“We feel very lucky – I feel we’re like in that movie ‘Final Destination’ and we somehow cheated death and it’s going to come find us,” Fey said.

From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines It was grand and unplanned but John Lobello's entrance onto the set during
a live segment with Paula Deen this morning was priceless.
