James Earl Jones Charms Driving Miss Daisy Fans Kathie Lee & Hoda

Think a winter storm could keep Driving Miss Daisy star James Earl Jones away from the Today studio in New York's Rockefeller Center? “I’m from Michigan!” the star reminded co-hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb during a February 2 visit to the morning chat show. Jones spoke of his love for Alfred Uhry’s hit play and also about his lifelong battle with stuttering. When the ladies mentioned the star's recent 80th birthday celebration ontage of the Golden Theatre, James joked that “fireman were standing by” as he blew out the candles. We love James Earl Jones, and you’re going to love watching him on this clip.
