Last week, Executive Producer Julie Fike told me to pick five of my favorite things. (Not people--we all know people aren't objects.)

On Friday, I revealed three, but we had some latebreaking news (a house fire) and I was never able to finish my list.

So, without further delay, here are my "5 Favorite Things."

5) Coffee: Every day, I probably have 2-3 cups of black coffee--minimum. I love it. On days that I don't receive my early-morning caffeine fix, I can expect a withdrawal headache by mid-morning! Although I usually drink coffee right out of the pot, my favorite blend of coffee is a latte. I started drinking it when I worked at "Today" in New York. Every morning after the broadcast, I'd stop by and get a cup. To this day, whenever I drink a latte, it reminds me of that point in my life.

4) Chrysler Building:
Speaking of my favorite city, my favorite building in the world is the Chrysler Building. It's always been the first skyscraper for which I look when I'm in the Big Apple. Construction started in 1928, I believe, and for a short period, it was the world's tallest structure. To me, it still looks contemporary, if not futuristic, even though it's older than the Empire State Building. One of my regrets is that I never went inside.

3) "Arrested Development":

Since I work in television, I figure I should mention my favorite television program--Fox's "Arrested Development." It went off the air last year and, to be honest, I truly didn't start watching it until it went to DVD. I love this show, though. It's one of the only shows where I'll fall off my couch because I'm laughing so hard. Literally. When I'm home just hanging out around the house, I'll have an episode on in the background.

2) Photographs: I planned on showing my digital camera, but it's not the camera that I really enjoy--it's what the camera produces.

You know when you go to a party and there's always one person walking around taking pictures of everyone? That's me. I'm that guy.

1) Pizza: I'm obsessed with it. No matter where I go--fancy restaurants, Italian restaurants, the corner tavern--if there is pizza on the menu, I order it. If I don't, I feel guilty. It's a bizarre condition that drives most of my family and friends mad. But I can't help it. I know someday (soon) I'll have to reduce it from my diet, but, as of now, I probably eat pizza 3-4 times a week.
