Summary

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has found itself at the center of a storm after issuing a trigger warning for Wicked. For Robin Thicke, the holidays aren’t all twinkling lights and festive cheer—there’s also the tricky business of the Santa Claus conversation. Al Roker became the unexpected star of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast for his comically small chair next to co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.

Welcome to the naughty but nice show.

I'm your host, Rob Schuzer. It's Friday. Did you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving? I hope so. I am full today, full with food, but maybe more importantly, full with love. We had a lovely day with Bruce's family, Neil and Leslie on Long Island. Thank you for the invite.

That new Penn Station, that Moynihan Station in New York. Oh, it's so nice. It's exactly the type

0:45.1

of train station New York City should have it. It's just glorious. We caught the train out.

0:50.8

We had lots to eat. Leslie, the food was amazing and lots to take home too. Leslie was kind

enough to send us back to the city with a little care package or two. So I think I'm going to have

1:03.0

another turkey dinner today. Lots and lots of food. But as I said, most importantly, it wasn't the

1:09.1

food. It was the company. It was the love. Thank you for having us. I hope you had a lovely day too. Corrie's off today. Corrie's enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend, I guess, now. And so it's just us today, Nauties, but don't be worried. We've got a lot to talk about. What time is it, my friends? It is tea time. Big story out of London, which is blowing up around the world.

and social media is anything but enchanted. So the BBFC's note highlighted themes in the highly anticipated

2:05.6

musical. It's a huge hit stating quote, a green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated

2:14.7

because of her skin color. A disabled girl in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending

2:21.5

manner by able-bodied people. And finally, talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society.

2:32.6

Now, Piers Morgan, who always weighs in on this stuff, he's never let an opportunity

2:37.8

to get some attention pass him by. I was on Pierce's show a couple of weeks ago. It's a great show.

2:44.0

What he's good at is really, really tapping in to, I think, what really presses people's buttons.

2:50.6

So I'm not sure anybody who saw the film,

2:54.3

who saw Wicked, felt like they needed a trigger warning. We know the story. Let's be honest now.
