-Lester Holt. Lester, it's great to see you.

Gerund

in the elevators and the hallways at 30 Rock.

My feeling right now, Jimmy, is I wake up every day.

when I know the people in my life are healthy,

And we can't worry about, you know, tomorrow.

Let's enjoy the day we have and press forward,

Where did you end up -- I mean, is your wife

setting up the lighting for you like my wife is?

-Well, the engineers came and they set up

And, you know, I've got to do a bunch of stuff before the show.

I've got to turn on different lights and then dial in

so I can hear the control room and all kinds of stuff,

all the interviews we're doing, you know, using Zoom.

And we're always trying to find different places

in the apartment, and my wife has become my --

She's like my technical manager, my lighting director,

-I said, "I got to do an interview with Jimmy Fallon,"

and she came in here and started arranging things

It looks gorgeous. -We don't really live this way.

I'm like, okay, where are the kids not going to run through,

so they're not going to interrupt your shot,

-She's being a little sweet and precious and sleeping.

Let me tell you, in a few hours when I get ready to do the news,

And so, I'm getting ready to do the news and I hear --

[ Barking ] And she wants to play the ball

So my wife, along with being set decorator,

lighting director, and technical manager,

is also the dog handler during that time when I'm on the air.

Some night it's going to be, "Good evening --"

I saw Stefan, who, you know, we also love.

which I want to say is in like a closet in his attic.

one behind the camera, one in front of the camera.

He's like, "Future, you know, journalist,

-It warmed my heart because it immediately made me think

of a picture that was taken when I was an anchor in Chicago

and the two boys had come down to the studio.

And I took this picture on the set with them.

And, you know, one of them, I clearly saw

he had the bug for the camera, and of course, that's Stefan.

He went on into the news business, but yeah,

it was really heartwarming, you know, to think back,

"God, I remember when you guys were little

and we did pictures like that, and now there's my grandson."

that turn to you and need someone to give them

the straight news and kind of lift our spirits.

'Cause I know you're doing a "Nightly News" for kids thing,

And I like it because I have a 6-year-old and a 5-year-old.

But just to see what all these kids are doing

-Yeah, they're asking such great questions, so we --

And a bunch of us were like, "Yeah, why not?

That sounds like a good idea. So we quickly put together one

and we got such great feedback, we said, "Let's do some more."
