Today Show?

The news section here stated Bono and Ali would be on the Today show to discuss Edun...I've been watching and haven't seen them on, and didn't see mention of the appearance in the show description online. Did I miss it? Anyone else watching?

 

[firstlove]

I saw it!!! It was awesome! *jumps around in Bono-glee* it ended at about 745am (local time).

It was on around 7:40 a.m.

I wish I could post video, but I have no way to do so

I'm going to make a thread for the Show, ok?

Bono on the Today Show!!!!!!!

Bono was on the Today show this morning!!! Along with Ali!!!! it was a pre-recorded interview from when they were at Saks Fifth Avenue, and about Edun (obviously). I really wish I could get stills, but I dont even have a VCR!!! so I'll just tell you: must have been on the same day as the thing that went on at Sak's, because they were wearing the same thing. ummm, I dont know what else to tell you . . .

 

[greety]

I sure hope someone will be able to post a clip or some stills from the event

i've been watching since just after 8:00 a.m.--how could I have missed it???!!!

 

[ruffian]

oh, boo!!!!!!!! I started watching around 8 thanks for letting me know, though.

 

[firstlove]

yeah, same here. sorry that I couldnt (at least for my sake, if not all of the Plebas) but Bono WAS being super adorable!

edit: the Today show starts a 7am, sorry ruffian!

The cute part was when Katie was talking to Bono and Ali about how they've been married for over twenty years and that's quite an achievement.

Ali said yeah and Bono said, "Well, she's very easy to live with." And then Ali laughed

There was also some shots of Ali in Africa at the clothing factory. Katie asked Ali what she calls Bono and Bono said he likes "O, tall one! or O, masterful one!" the second one caused Ali to smirk and laugh. She then told Katie sometimes she calls him B.

 

[firstlove]

wow, my last post was confusing, I meant to say that I wish i had stills!

Hi!! I usually lurk around here, but wanted to let you guys know MSNBC has a clip from the Today show this morning.

I don't have 15 posts yet, so I cannot post the link.

If you go to MSNBC homepage, there is a link under "Bono's Bash", or something similar. Click on that and it will bring you to the page with an article on the Hall of Fame, and a link for the clip from the today show.

okay, 15 posts now...here it the link. Hope it works.

yeah, unfortunately that part is not in the video link on msn - it was a short segment before the interview earlier in the show, Today had a quiz "What does Ali call Bono at home?" with multiple choices - I remember another choice was sugarlips

 

[faithingrace]

What luck, I had an early morning meeting at work which got cancelled so I went into my classroom and decided to see what was up on Interference, saw the tag line, ran to the tv and it came on 30 seconds later! Good Karma today!!!!

 

[rccj]

I just watched here in CA and the part about what Ali calls Bono was not in our segment...that is odd. Unless I missed it for some odd reason, but I doubt it.

MrsSpringsteen thank you so much for the link--amazing interview!!! I love Bono! I love Ali!!! And if anyone is interested in a good article on the poverty issue, check out the latest Time magazine--article by Sachs on ending world poverty and a reference to Bono writing the foreword to the book)

LOL, yeah, there was that one and something like "her Achtung Baby", and "Sonny", and then of course, "B" .

Great interview-it was nice hearing Ali talk, as I've read a lot of interviews with her, but haven't really heard any interviews with her-she's very articulate. And she and Bono were definitely being all cute together, as usual -they both looked great, too. And I like this idea-these two are such nice people, seriously...it's amazing (and cool) to see two people with such big hearts. They made a lot of great points about the situation (like the one Bono had about not wanting to wear clothes from people in despair), and the "Edun"="nude"=return to nature thing is creative.

Yeah. It was just all around awesome. And my sister was watching it with me, and she said the clothes were really cute, so....

Thank you chazman!

I love the one where Ali's laughing and Bono has that devilish lil' smirk on his face

I bet Ali laughs at Bono on an almost daily basis That's probably actually one key to the success of their marriage.

 

[xtal]

I can tell she loves to smile and laugh. A good quality that most people do not have. Or most people in my area, at the least.

I hurried and took a ten minute shower just so I could see the segment, and my quick thinking 11 year old brother recorded it on TiVo when I couldn't get it to work! I was jumping around going, "Record! Record!"

Ali is just the most beautiful person in the world. My family had to agree. (And no, I didn't put a gun to their heads- they admired her for being so happy, nice, and pretty and said her voice was like an angel's.)

 

[agentmissa]

I'd call Bono Master... *sigh*
