It is Thursday at February ninth, and this

0:04

is people every day.

0:09

Hello again to all of you beautiful people,

0:11

especially my big brother whose birthday

0:13

it is. Happy birthday Trevor. Also

0:16

happy birthday, Michael b Jordan, another

0:18

sweet and handsome brother who was born

0:20

today. It's me, Janine Reubenstein,

0:23

with you yet again, today we've got a

0:25

behind the scenes sneak peek or, I guess,

0:27

sneak listen to some of this year's most

0:29

anticipated Super Bowl ads.

0:31

Plus, get to share my interview with You

0:33

Got Winter and Father of Three now, mister

0:35

John Legend. But on a more

0:38

somber note, now that because of death

0:40

behind thirty seven year old ABC producer,

0:42

DAX Tihara, has been revealed.

0:45

Conversations have been renewed surrounding the

0:47

tragic events the night he died. But

0:49

before we get into all of that, let's catch you

0:51

up on what's been swirling around out there in the

0:53

noots. As

0:56

we discussed on yesterday's show, plans

0:58

behind King Charles' coronation are underway,

1:01

and it appears the head of the British monarchy

1:03

has a special guest on his invite list.

1:05

Mhmm. Prince Harry. A source

1:08

tells people that despite the allegations

1:10

Prince Harry made in spare, King Charles

1:12

wants his youngest son in attendance. The

1:15

royal family has yet to make a statement regarding

1:17

the release of Harry's Telal memoir. But

1:19

a source close to the royal household revealed

1:22

the king's wishes to people saying,

1:24

quote, It is such a momentous

1:26

occasion for Charles, and he would want his

1:28

son to be at the coronation to witness it.

1:30

He would like to have Harry back in the family,

1:33

end quote, and the source continues. If

1:35

they don't sort it out, it will always be

1:37

part of the king's reign and how he has

1:39

left his family disjointed. He has

1:41

had a reputation as a distant parent,

1:44

and it would be awful for him for

1:46

that to continue. End quote. Prince

1:48

Harry has said on multiple occasions that

1:50

the door is open for reconciliation, but it

1:52

still remains to be seen if the duke

1:55

and duchess Sussex will be in attendance

1:57

for King Charles' big day on May sixth. And

1:59

don't forget, May six also happens

2:01

to be Little Archie's fourth birthday.

2:04

We will definitely be keeping tabs on this

2:06

in the magazine and at people dot com.

2:08

Moving

2:11

on to a Jeremy renter update, Evangeline

2:14

Lilly shared that she had an intense

2:16

visit with her friend as he continues to

2:18

recover from his serious snow plow accident

2:21

last month. You remember that? The Ant

2:23

Man and the Wasp Quantum Mania

2:25

actress shared with news outlets that she

2:27

was just at Renner's house the other night

2:29

and saw how he was doing amid recovery

2:31

sharing that his spirits are high.

2:33

Lilly shared that Renner, quote, has recovered

2:36

like a mofo and added,

2:38

I was like, why are you mobile? Why are

2:40

you mobile? What's happening? I expect to

2:43

sit at his bedside and hold his hand while

2:45

he mown and ground and pain and wasn't

2:47

able to move, he was wheeling himself

2:49

around laughing with his friends. It's

2:51

a miracle. A straight up miracle.

2:54

Aside from both being members of the

2:56

Avengers, renter and Lilly go back to their

2:58

time working together on the two thousand and eight film,

3:00

The Hertlocker, Lolly spoke optimistically

3:02

of how brave her friend and CoStar has been

3:05

through the ordeal, saying the experience is,

3:07

quote, what nightmares are made of?

3:09

And he lived through it and he's on the

3:11

other side now. We are certainly

3:13

glad to hear that Renner is on the men and

3:16

continue to wish him a speedy recovery.

3:18

And now let's turn our attention to the

3:20

much talked about night out that went

3:22

tragically wrong. I'm talking about

3:25

the death of a thirty seven year old ABC

3:27

producer and father of two in the eventual

3:29

arrest of his wife. What

3:36

was supposed to be an and assuming dinner

3:38

for a talented New York City producer and his

3:40

wife turned into a tragic nightmare

3:42

for family of four. Back in December,

3:44

when news dropped the DAX Tihira, executive

3:47

producer of this week on ABC, had

3:50

suddenly died. Many were shocked.

3:52

He was a doting husband and father with a full

3:54

life and booming career. And now almost

3:56

two months later, there are some new details

3:59

surrounding his untimely passing His

4:01

cause of death was recently revealed. This

4:03

on top of what he and his wife were doing

4:05

that night while their kids were left alone

4:08

is continuing to spark debate on

4:10

the dos and don'ts of parenting. Well,

4:12

here with me now is people's executive editorial

4:14

director Charlotte Triggs to take me into

4:17

what we know happen and how this has

4:19

kicked off a larger conversation. Hey, Charlotte.

4:21

Hey, Jeanine. Well, Many people

4:23

were shaken up after Dax Tahira's sudden

4:25

death, especially since it occurred two days before

4:27

Christmas. ABC News president Kim

4:30

Godwin announced in a memo with staff that

4:32

he died from a heart attack. But now

4:34

we are getting a clearer picture of what actually

4:36

happened in which it's reported that

4:38

he choked to death while

4:40

intoxicated. So Can you explain this

4:42

a little bit? And what else was going

4:44

on that night? Basically, the medical examiner

4:46

has done the official ruling, and they say

4:48

that the cause of death was an accident and

4:50

that what happened was asphyxia due

4:53

to obstruction of airway by food

4:55

ballast, which I had to Google, but that just means

4:57

a piece of food. Complicating factor

4:59

being acute alcohol intoxication. There's

5:03

wild degrees of what this could be.

5:05

Right? This could be like sitting at the table

5:07

at a steak house one, you're on your

5:09

third glass of wine and choking on a piece steak,

5:11

or this could be really having

5:13

tied one on popping like bar

5:15

nuts and choking on it. So we don't really

5:18

know, but it certainly paints a very

5:20

negative picture. The complication there

5:23

is that the wife was

5:25

subsequently arrested for having left their

5:27

two children alone. It just pays an ugly picture

5:30

because it it casts them in a negative

5:32

light as being out, being intoxicated, and

5:35

it makes it look lot more grim.

5:37

It could have very well been relatively

5:39

innocent, pure accident. You know what I mean?

5:41

And it's like but here they had

5:43

said it was a heart attack. And

5:45

now we're learning the details and the details are very

5:47

shocking. You're right. Like,

5:49

just putting intoxication there. We don't

5:51

know the level to which. You could have been, like, right

5:53

over that point eight whatever. But

5:55

let's talk about those kids. They were in New

5:57

York City staying at the

5:59

Yale Club. They left their kids

6:02

in the room to just go down

6:04

across the street. And have this

6:06

dinner. Right? And how did they try to manage

6:08

that as parents? His wife is Veronica

6:10

Terra, and they have a two year old,

6:12

who's named Sofia, and a seven month old

6:14

named Ella. So the kids went

6:16

to bed and then they

6:20

put the baby monitor on

6:23

and took it with them and watch

6:25

the video baby monitor from the

6:27

dinner. This is where, like,

6:29

all the judgment can, like, come into play.

6:31

But I guess, the the real thing is, while they

6:33

were out, he choked and she was

6:35

forced to, like, go flee to the hospital

6:37

with him, and then what would have maybe been,

6:39

like, one hour away became,

6:42

like, who knows how long away? And I guess

6:44

when she called her friend to be like, oh my god,

6:46

can you go get my kids? With a friend

6:49

asked the hotels to let her up and they wouldn't

6:51

do it. And they called the police on her So

6:53

that's how it became like a public incident.

6:56

But then there's plenty of moms shaving

6:58

going on. And by the way, moms I mean why?

7:00

Because he's dead. He's dead here anyway, but it was

7:02

partially his choice to leave the children alone.

7:04

Right? I always hate it when the mom takes the soul blame.

7:06

I just think it's not fair. I don't know. I mean, you

7:08

know, after three kids, And I

7:11

have experience leaving my

7:13

children alone. Like, how alone and at what age?

7:15

It's really subjective. Right? I put

7:17

my twins when they were babies, I put

7:19

them to bed for their afternoon

7:21

nap. I took the video monitor and

7:24

I left it on the deck where my husband

7:26

was doing yard work. And then I

7:28

walked into the street, in front of my

7:30

little house, to the block party that was

7:32

going on. And I was chatting with my

7:34

neighbors, and I was totally

7:36

mom shaped by one of my neighbors being like, don't

7:38

you have any idea where your children are? Oh, look at you.

7:40

You're look at you. I'm so I'm so happy for you

7:43

how you're so relaxed. You're not even looking at the baby

7:45

monitor or anything. And I was like, are you

7:47

serious? My husband's doing it. Like,

7:49

what is the problem? That felt okay

7:51

to me. It's like, you know, when we were talking about,

7:53

like, Is the New York City element

7:55

the element that's

7:56

different? It's the New York City element maybe

7:58

and and like the hotel element too. It's

8:00

just like you know, we've we've seen that

8:02

where, you know, kids getting kidnapped from hotels

8:05

and overseas. Yeah. The woman in here

8:07

in Portugal madeleine McCann. They

8:09

went to dinner And God knows

8:11

what the circumstances were of that

8:12

hotel, but they left the kid asleep

8:15

in the hotel, and then when they got back, she wasn't

8:17

there. Yeah. Yeah. It's just horrible.

8:19

So I think maybe just the hotel factor

8:21

of it all. It's not like, you know, like going out

8:23

to the porch or going to yard to, like, have some

8:25

wine with friends or something like

8:26

that. It's, like, Janina, have you ever left your kids alone a

8:29

minute? Well, I'm, like, doing, like, a mental inventory. It's,

8:31

like, in this summer, I took my kids to beach.

8:33

And I had to unload the luggage,

8:35

do it all by myself because my husband wasn't there,

8:38

take it upstairs, and then I had to go

8:40

park the car. And it's like, I did

8:42

leave them alone to go park the

8:43

car, and I was kinda hoping nobody was gonna be, like,

8:45

judging me because Americans love to judge. But I

8:47

don't know. Like, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

8:49

That's a factor as well too because

8:52

there are just different behaviors

8:55

for different people from different backgrounds

8:57

in different countries. You know, people

8:59

we'll leave their their babies in a stroller

9:02

park outside of a store to run-in and

9:04

say Switzerland or somewhere

9:06

else. There are just different behavioral norms

9:08

around parenting in different places.

9:10

Since we are in America, we know Americans love

9:13

to judge. Right? And if they're all about that, so

9:15

it's like, I guess you're You know what you're

9:17

working

9:17

with? Yeah. You brought up the infant. I do think the

9:19

five month old makes things tricky as

9:21

well. And there is just that fear,

9:24

like, you know, what if the cover gets over the baby's

9:26

head at that month or something? You know what I mean? Like,

9:28

I don't know. I'm not one to judge at all,

9:31

but it does do seem like a series of

9:33

wildly unfortunate events for this couple

9:35

that was just trying to let get out and possibly

9:37

just have a drink and grab a bite. There

9:39

are times where, you know,

9:41

my seven year old, they're not two in

9:43

in five months, but I'll say, Therese,

9:46

like, okay, watch your sister. You know, and I'll

9:48

I'll either run out or I'll walk the

9:50

dog or something like that around the cul de sac.

9:52

Still not in a hotel and and they're

9:54

not like teeny tiny babies, but I

9:56

guess a seven year old shouldn't be watching a two

9:58

year old, I guess. Well, people reached

10:01

out to Veronica's attorney for comment yesterday

10:03

to which There was no return.

10:06

But Veronica did speak out to Entertainment

10:08

Tonight saying that she made, quote, a

10:10

poor decision. To leave the kids

10:12

alone. She went on to say that after tax

10:14

collapsed, she, as you said, asked

10:16

a close friend and her parents to see about the kids

10:19

at the hotel, but the hotel wouldn't allow

10:21

them I mean, guess rightly so. And

10:23

still yet to be seen, like, how intoxicated

10:26

he was or they were because that's also

10:28

what's poking at the judgment

10:29

theirs. Yeah. Totally agree. Just down now.

10:32

I just think that anytime someone sees a mom

10:34

having fun, oh, they're ready to get mad

10:36

about it. Right? Don't you think?

10:38

For sure, Charlotte. I just hope

10:40

this family, you know, continues to heal

10:42

and amid all of this, and and we find out

10:45

more and paint an even clearer picture of

10:47

just what happened here. Guys,

12:39

Who needs sleep? Right? So we are

12:41

back. And I'll be the first to admit I need

12:43

my beauty sleep, but it seems like lately

12:45

John Legend has been burning the candle

12:47

at both ends just In the last few

12:49

weeks, the all of me singer announced

12:52

a new album, debuted his own skincare

12:54

line, loved one, prepared for multiple

12:56

Grammy's weekend shows. Oh, and as

12:58

if that wasn't enough, he and his wife,

13:00

Chrissy Tigen, welcomed a new baby,

13:03

daughter, SD Maxine. SD

13:05

has made the alleged Tigen house a party

13:07

of five joining six year old sister Luna

13:09

and four year old brother Miles. When

13:12

I asked him about his growing family, legend

13:14

said It just feels like more love,

13:16

more joy, and more energy. Legend

13:19

said he's doing whatever he can to help out

13:21

with the new babies saying, quote, Obviously,

13:23

I can't breastfeed her, so I feel like I

13:25

should help when we use the bottle and he

13:27

joyfully added. I'm happy to change diapers

13:30

and I'm good at burping her too. And

13:32

he's also singing lullabies these

13:34

days because, of course, as

13:36

for the Egotwinners new music, It's

13:38

actually old music that he's given an

13:41

extreme makeover less than a year

13:43

after releasing his eighth studio album, Dead

13:45

Legend. Just yesterday, the RMB

13:47

superstar released Legend Solo piano

13:49

version. I got him to open up about what

13:52

inspired this latest creative undertaking.

13:54

He said, had already written the songs,

13:56

but it was fun to reimagine them. One

13:58

particularly sexy track, Honey,

14:00

which he told me is about stuff

14:02

that grown ups do. Is his favorite

14:05

new version on the album. And

14:15

the muse for most of his music remains

14:17

the same, Chrissy, who's thirty seven,

14:20

has been his wife for nine years

14:22

and his remake of his recent hit wonder

14:24

woman, for example, resonated in an

14:26

entirely different way during the recording process.

14:29

Stay. You make me wonder.

14:32

Omen. How do

14:35

you do? You're

14:38

so pissed. The modern day

14:40

crooner told me, quote, Just having

14:42

made it while my wife was pregnant and seeing

14:44

the miracle of childbirth and all that women

14:46

have to go through to bring life into the world,

14:48

makes that song especially meaningful to

14:51

me. Ugh, a sweetheart. I love his band.

14:53

Well, legend admitted that even though

14:55

he's kept a positive attitude while staying busy

14:57

on the home front, releasing new music

14:59

and starting a new skin care venture. That

15:01

doesn't mean things haven't been exhausting,

15:04

but he's not one to complain saying

15:06

I have everything I could possibly

15:08

have dreamed of. Now, it's just about

15:11

being the best artist, dad and husband

15:13

I can do. Wow. Be sure to

15:15

check out my full interview with John Legend in

15:17

this week's issue available on newsstands

15:19

everywhere tomorrow. Alright.

15:26

Who's ready for the big Re audible?

15:28

I mean, the Super Bowl? I'm sad.

15:30

My diners won't be out on the field. There's

15:33

always next year. I believe in them. But I

15:35

am excited to spend Sunday with family

15:37

and friends. And of course, there's the commercials.

15:40

People has the exclusive on a bunch of the

15:42

Super Bowl commercials, and it looks so

15:44

good you guys. Joining me now is People's

15:46

Director of Digital Specials and Futures,

15:48

Kate Hogan. Hey, Kate. Hi, Janine.

15:50

So this Sunday, we got the

15:52

Philadelphia Eagles versus the Kansas

15:54

City Chiefs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we got my

15:57

girl re re performing in

15:59

the halftime show. So what else

16:01

can we expect to see this

16:02

weekend? Yes. One of the big

16:04

headlines out of the game is that there are

16:06

two brothers who are going up against each other.

16:09

There's Jason Kelsey, who's a fan

16:11

favorite center for the Eagles, and his

16:13

wife, Kylie, is thirty eight weeks pregnant

16:15

and coming to the game with two o b's.

16:18

In case student goes in the labor during

16:20

the game, and he's playing against his brother, Travis

16:22

Elsie, who is a record breaking tie down

16:24

for the teacher's there's a lot of plumbery fans of

16:26

both teams actually. Like, of the Eagles, there's Miles

16:28

teller who you can see in a lot of the games.

16:31

We spoke to Kevin Hart this week who

16:33

had talked about how much winning a second

16:35

Super Bowl. And his lifetime would mean to him

16:37

as an Eagles man. We've got Meek

16:39

Mill, who one of his headphones is actually the

16:42

theme song of the Eagles this season, so

16:44

he's definitely invested. Bradley

16:46

Cooper was at their last game where they

16:48

clinched their spot in the Super Bowl,

16:50

so I wouldn't be surprised if we see him in

16:52

Arizona this weekend. And then you've got

16:54

Quinta Bronson in the whole cast of Alba Elementary

16:57

who Pay homage to the Eagles in

16:59

Philadelphia a lot in their show.

17:01

So Well, on the cheap side, you've got

17:03

our former sexiest man alive.

17:05

Call run, who also talked to people to

17:07

speak about how freaked

17:09

out nervous he is about the game this weekend and that

17:11

he won't breathe until it's over, basically. Brad

17:14

Pitt, who's been slotted wearing cheese gear

17:16

in the past, Melissa Etherigs, performed

17:18

an event for them, and Rob

17:20

Regal, who is always a cheese game,

17:22

all season long. And I will

17:24

say, you know, the teams are neither here

17:26

nor there, but I am excited. It is Black

17:28

History Month. And the fact that two black

17:30

quarterback are going head to head for the first

17:33

time Jaylen Hertz and Patrick Mahomes. I've

17:35

been loving that story line. That's never

17:37

happened before, so that's gonna be cool to watch

17:39

as well. But let's talk about

17:41

the commercials that we'll be airing.

17:43

Okay? As I mentioned earlier, people

17:45

got a lot of good exclusives. One of

17:47

them is Johnson Volta, Zach Craft,

17:50

and Donald Faison's T Mobile Commercial,

17:52

and it's such a fun throwback to Greece.

17:55

Tell me more Tell me more. One

17:57

cord's all that you need. Tell me

17:59

more. Tell me more. Don't you worry

18:01

about me.

18:03

The scraps alums, opened up

18:05

the people about working with Johnson tell us what

18:07

they said. Yeah. It turns out that Zach Braff

18:09

and Donald phase on are both huge Johnson Helps

18:11

fans. So they were both talking lot

18:13

about how starstruck they were

18:16

at first. Zach told us he actually had a welcome

18:18

back Carter lunchbox when he was a kid,

18:20

which is the reference to, a role role role

18:22

to play years ago. And

18:25

Donald Faison basically went right up to him

18:27

and started asking him questions about face

18:29

off. Actually, both of them told us that he was

18:31

so generous with his stories. He told

18:33

them a lot of behind the scenes information on

18:35

pulp fiction, on ethos and on

18:37

Greece. Well, let's talk about a commercial that

18:39

I'm already lazily, totally but

18:42

crazy excited for you guys.

18:44

Share is back. Alicia

18:46

Silverstone and Elizabethanovin are reprising

18:48

their iconic clueless roles for the

18:50

Rakuten

18:51

commercial. I used to be pretty clueless

18:53

about shopping. Among other things. Like

18:55

when I heard, I could saves by getting cash

18:57

back with

18:58

Rakuten? I was, like, as is.

19:00

How obsessed were you with this movie?

19:03

Kate. So much. Does, like, my

19:05

seen years, and it's insane

19:07

that Alicia Silverstone has not aged today.

19:10

She plays share

19:11

perfectly. Alicia is perfect

19:13

too. It's just like such a great nostalgia

19:15

moment. I know every single word to that movie.

19:18

But we also have the commercial of

19:20

Ben Stiller reprising his role as Zoolander

19:22

for Pepsi something he spoke to people

19:24

about

19:25

doing. I feel like fans, like, begging Fursleylander

19:27

to come back all the time, and he said it's always

19:29

fun to revisit that character, that anytime

19:31

he's chance to go back to Dean Zealander,

19:34

he feels this reconnection to

19:36

Derek and has such good memories of over

19:38

the years working on those movies. And

19:40

I think he's really grateful. He said that people still

19:42

want their Zeolyinder in their lives.

19:44

He represents something for people in

19:47

terms of the sweet vepidity is what

19:49

I've been so upset and very

19:50

endearing. So there's one little commercial

19:52

that people was on set for,

19:54

and that's been Aflac's Dunkin

19:57

Donuts ad. Yes, that's happening. And

19:59

Jennifer Lopez herself will even make an

20:01

appearance. I have a feeling fans will

20:03

love this

20:04

one. Right? So a few months ago, people

20:06

noticed Ben Affleck working on a Dunkin' drive

20:08

thru one day and everyone's like, what's going on.

20:10

And people got to be on the side of the commercial,

20:12

which was filmed in Boston in January. We

20:15

just next episode behind the scenes videos with

20:17

Ben. And he's on the spot at

20:19

Medford, Massachusetts Duncan

20:21

and was on the set to serve me not coffee

20:23

and donuts to people going through the drive through

20:26

and JLo was there with him. He

20:28

wore an employee uniform, complete with the

20:30

Pfizer, the America runs on Dunkin'

20:32

Start, one customer said that he even

20:34

gave them their money back and said everything was free

20:36

that day. And that he

20:38

was super funny, quick weighted, while serving

20:41

as an employee for the day. So think people

20:43

are gonna really excited to see that Boston

20:45

accent, back in action. Well, before

20:47

I let you go, I gotta ask who are

20:49

you rooting for this weekend? I think

20:52

the commercials. Is that fair? I wanna see more

20:54

good commercials. I'm an nostalgia junkie. So,

20:56

yes, I am rooting for these commercials because it sounds

20:58

like we're gonna get all of our, like, favorite moments.

21:00

Guys, the Super Bowl airs this Sunday

21:03

at six thirty PM on

21:04

Fox, Kate. It was so good to see you. Thanks for

21:06

stopping by. Thank you so much.

21:11

Last but not least, it is Black History

21:13

Month and on top of all of the incredible coverage

21:16

we highlighting black voices and role models

21:18

online and in the magazine, I wanted to

21:20

take some time to give two very special organizations

21:23

that are working to create effective change,

21:25

some love before we wrap up today's show.

21:27

Miss past weekend at The Grammys, I met Rashad

21:30

Robinson, the head of a group called Color

21:32

Of Change. They are the nation's largest

21:34

online racial justice organization and

21:36

help people respond effectively to injustice

21:39

in the world. They work with the big

21:41

decision makers in Corporations and governments

21:43

to create a more human and less hostile

21:46

world for black people and people of color

21:48

in the US. They recently worked

21:50

with the Recording Academy to create and

21:52

stick to their diversity promises and

21:54

initiatives. And it was so cool to talk with

21:57

them last weekend and see their work in action

21:59

in the entertainment world. You can learn more

22:01

about color change and how to get involved or

22:03

donate at color change dot org.

22:06

And I'd also like to shine a light on

22:08

leaders up. Leaders up is a group

22:10

that's looking to change the narrative around

22:13

the racial wealth gap in the US. The

22:15

CEO is Jeffrey Wallace, and they work

22:17

with companies and organizations to create

22:19

equal opportunities for young diverse

22:21

talents in our country. Given all

22:24

of the cutbacks and layoffs happening right now,

22:26

they are definitely a worthwhile organization

22:28

to check out. Their main goal is to show

22:30

that an anti racist economy doesn't

22:32

just serve the bipop population but

22:34

also benefits the greater economic profitability

22:37

for everyone. I could not agree

22:39

more are. So head to leaders up dot org

22:42

for more information and to show them some love

22:44

and get involved. They are a great group

22:46

of people. And with that, that's

22:48

our show for today. You

22:50

guys tomorrow is

22:52

our very last episode

22:55

of People Every Day. Be

22:57

sure to listen in as

22:59

we say goodbye and of course do

23:01

what we always do and keep you informed

23:03

and entertained with the latest news.

23:06

Enjoy the rest of your day, you guys. I'll talk to you

23:08

again tomorrow on people every day.
