We're going to move to Savannah and Hoda, which I have been dying to talk to you about probably more than anybody.

Okay.

So I want to look first.

I know you don't love still photography, but this one I love because this is the image that NBC chose to promote their one-on-one in the aftermath of Savannah's mother being abducted, still missing and returning to the today show.

what i notice here is the heads are together one is higher than the other but that triangle of negative space at the bottom so like their heads are together but their bodies are not close

The optic here, I feel, is of forced intimacy.

Savannah is actually, I think, quite tall, but I also just find it interesting that there's such a differential.

Normally, I feel like when friends put their heads together, they kind of tilt a little bit, so you're kind of even.

You find a way to sort of, it's natural.

Yes, you're right.

It doesn't feel forced, you know?

Yeah, I agree.

I agree.

Okay, so let's get into the video.

Hoda's affect, I found, and many people who watched The Nerve found, was feel it is off.

Feel it is off.

And here we are going to watch her try to show a lot of emotion.

But I think we're absent one key thing.

Here we go.

In all the despair you sat and managed to think of words to say, were you able to do that in that moment?
