DAVID COOK'S TODAY SHOW...

Thursday, May 29, 2008 |



American Idol winner David Cook and runner-up David Archuleta make an appearance on NBC’s Today Show at Rockefeller plaza on Thursday in New York City.

“As far as people thinking I’m pretty or something,” Cook said, addressing his ‘cougar’ fans. “I don’t know. It’s amazing what a haircut and forgetting to shave will do.”

Watch the Davids’ interviews here. Archuleta can be found singing “Think Of Me” here. And watch Cook’s performance below!

Earlier this week, Cook visited a Los Angeles hospital to visit fellow Top 24 contestant Luke Menard, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

“I love Luke and I just wanted to show up and make sure that he understood that I love him and know that if there’s anything I can do for him and his wife, sign me up, you know?” Cook tells People. “Luke, Michael Johns, Jason Yeager and myself, we kind of buddied up one day at Hollywood week. We called ourselves the four horsemen. Any time one of your own is going through something as horrible as that, it makes everything else seem a little bit insignificant.



DAVID COOK DOES LARRY KING LIVE ....

American Idol champ David Cook arrives at the CNN studios to take some calls for Larry King Live.

When asked if he felt relieved when the whole Idol experience was over, Cook said, “Yes, in a way. The whole show, the eight-month process from first audition to this, it feels like you’re holding your breath a little bit. And I’ve been asked a few times why I cried at the end. And for me, that was just an exhale, to step back and really think about what just happened. It’s pretty heavy. So, yes, I am relieved, because, now I get to move on to the next phase of all this, which is a record and a tour and all the good stuff.”

Don’t miss a special second hour with Cook on CNN on Monday, May 26! And here are three more appearances he’ll be making in the coming week: Live with Regis & Kelly (Tuesday, May 27), The Ellen DeGeneres Show (Wednesday, May 28) and The Today Show (Thursday, May 29).
