David said he had so many reasons to be thankful
It's been a very busy time for David who only recently returned from the Glasgow Climate Change Summit in Scotland.
But he seems to have settled back into life in New York and recently appeared on his good friend, Kelly Ripa's show, Live with Kelly and Ryan, to reveal what he had planned for Thanksgiving.

"We are a smaller group coming for Thanksgiving this year, and I'm going to cook," David said.
However, he also mentioned that he had a plan B prepared which involved his close friend Kelly, saying: "Now Kelly has offered to be the back-up plan."

Ryan agreed with his choice, adding: "She's a good back-up plan," as David hilariously continued: "I have not mentioned that to the family because they'll just go straight to plan B!"

Kelly gave her own two cents on the proposal, saying: "Plan B is totally catered, because I have no time this year. I'm not even messing around. I'm not even pretending to bake a pie."
David continued by mentioning that he would cook everything, including an acorn squash dish he learned from Martha Stewart recipes on YouTube.
We hope it was a success!
