5. My favorite thing to do at night is watch a movie with my kids and dogs (and my husband). My kids no longer cuddle, but my dogs do.

6. I am petrified of snakes after a close encounter with one in Panama as a young girl.

7. I will never scuba dive. I am too claustrophobic.

8. I was born in Taiwan and was an Air Force brat. I moved about seven times as a kid before college.

9. My first concert was Spandau Ballet in Madrid. “True” is still one of my favorite songs.

10. Growing up, I [wanted to be] a veterinarian.

11. My dream was to have a horse. And now I do! His name is Houdini and I’m finally riding and learning to jump.

12. If I could play any instrument I would play the cello. I love Yo-Yo Ma.

13. There is nothing I love more to eat than Patsy’s Pizzeria in New York City.

14. My first time on TV was in a commercial in Spain.

15. My most embarrassing, while also humorous moment, on Today was when I got a lesson on how to sing from Liza Minnelli. I was a disaster and she literally said, “Natalie, please stop!”

16. I love to sing out loud — [even] though I sing off-key and always mess up the lyrics.

17. I often get mixed up with actress Natalie Morales. She has also had people mistake her for me.

18. As a young girl, Olivia Newton-John was my idol. I would dress up and roller skate around like [her character] in Xanadu. I never dreamed she would now be a wonderful friend.

19. My first job out of college was in finance working in a management training program with then Chemical Bank (now JPMorgan Chase).
