LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pilot Chesley Sullenberger jokes that his heroic handling of a disabled jetliner brought him "rock star sex" in an interview for "NBC's People of the Year" special.
Sullenberger, who safely ditched a US Airways plane in New York's Hudson River after geese hit the engines, is among those interviewed by Matt Lauer for a Thanksgiving Day special.
Lauer also talks with Taylor Swift, Nadya Suleman, Susan Boyle and Kobe Bryant for the hour-long special airing 9 p.m. EST Thursday on NBC.
In Lauer's interview with octuplets mom Suleman, she denies receiving any public funding and also says that, contrary to reports, she isn't going to do a reality show with Jon Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
