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.

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

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!”

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).
