“With something like ‘Bridget,’ which is an unexpected success, you have a choice,” Fielding told TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager. “Either you keep carrying on, doing the same thing — over and over again — or it means something really important to you, and you wait until you’re ready and you have something important to say again.”

(Uh, so do we.)

NBC’s Tamron Hall looks into whether viewers think it’s possible to stay friends with a former significant other, particularly if there are kids involved.
5. Last May, a TODAY producer and his family went undercover at Disneyland and discovered tour guides cheating the system. Some were profiting by obtaining special disabled passes and using them to help healthy families bypass the long lines.
Apparently Disney was watching: They are revamping the entire system to stop the abuse after TODAY's hidden cameras exposed outrageous abuses.
