TODAY’s Matt Lauer opens Friday’s broadcast with a breathtaking (and, according to Savannah, stomach-churning) view from the top of One World Trade Center as workers prepare to lift the final pieces of the spire that will take the tower to its full height of 1,776 feet.
Before his chat with Matt Lauer, actor Zach Galifiniakis took the liberty of wandering Studio 1A this morning, making a news-block cameo and dropping in on Martha Stewart’s segment.
The TODAY anchors chat about the hot topics of the day, including Matt Lauer’s TODAY dancing debut with PSY earlier Friday morning, which Matt says he doesn’t plan to reprise for quite a while.
A man known as Danny, who was held captive in his own car by the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, tells TODAY’s Matt Lauer he doesn’t know why the pair didn’t kill him and describes what he thought about to get him through the ordeal.
