But then you're called on to do serious news.

So one of the reasons I think that I was so well-suited to do the Today Show, because what we've talked at the very beginning, it kind of allowed me to show all different sides of who I am.

I could have fun.

I could fly across the plaza as Peter Pan on Halloween.

But then I could cover 9-11.

Or interview Tony Blair.

Or go cover the Iraq War.

Or the Persian Gulf War at the time.

So it really requires you to flex so many different muscles.

But I think also...

And people who don't see the breadth of your work can sort of say, oh, she's cute and perky and fun and America's sweetheart, and they discount the more serious stuff.

I think it's I do think it's kind of changed.

I think we've been culturally conditioned.

You know, I think that that are I read this book called Blind Spot because I did a documentary about sexism in Silicon Valley and the tech world.

And, you know, from a very early age, our brains are taught to associate certain images with certain roles.

And I think those things are really hard to unspool.

And so I think that for so long, all of our images of people in power have been male.

And I think it just takes us like...

You know, different framing to respect women in that role.

And, you know, as we mentioned a couple of times, and I know you interviewed Kamala Harris, I think that people are still, for whatever reason, have a hard time still accepting women in positions of power and authority.
