- Dokoupil became emotional while discussing his childhood in Miami and his father's troubled past, which led to Kelly expressing disbelief and discomfort over the amount of visible emotion.
- Mark Halperin, co-hosting with Kelly, acknowledged that while crying about family is understandable, he questioned CBS's decision to air the pre-taped emotional segment.
