abc's mike myers. >> maybe that's not the last time rihanna will see her on that orange red carpet. >> you can dream. >> the action played out last night in brooklyn, new york, as three dozen young women entered as hopefuls and walked out as pros. >> the indiana fever select caitlin clark this morning. >> caitlin clark going pro. >> i dreamed of this moment since i was in second grade, and it's taken a lot of hard work, a lot of ups and downs, but more than anything, just trying to soak it in, also soaking it in thousands of fans of the indiana fever watching from indianapolis jersey in hand before the draft, clark lit up the orange carpet in prada, the first time the fashion giant has dressed any player. >> nba or wnba number eight pick alyssa healy was paying homage to her polynesian heritage. with this dress, i had to include the tribal in my dress. >> a lot of indigenous and polynesian girls don't get to see that role model, and i'm just so blessed that i could be in the position to be that for them, jackson selected. >> fourth was rocking two

outfits, one for the orange carpet and one to wear as she was drafted by the l.a. sparks. the sparks also had the number two pick, taking six foot four cameron brink. if her height doesn't help her in the pros, maybe this will. her godparents are the parents of nba superstar steph curry. the two have known each other since they were kids, so i actually facetimed steph like five minutes before the show started. >> so he just said to just have fun with it. i think he can just share so much great advice. >> one big surprise the las vegas aces selecting caitlin clark, iowa teammate kate martin with the 18th pick. >> i was here to support caitlin, but you know, i was hoping to hear my name called and all i wanted was an opportunity and i got it. >> so i'm really excited. despite going pro, the payday for caitlin clark and the other stars of the night may not be as big as you think. clark will make just over $76,000 in her rookie year. over the next four years, she'll make just 338,000. compare that to the men of the nba, who take home a minimum salary of just over $1.1 million. the top draft pick last year made more than 12 million.

of course, the nba plays more games, makes far more revenue than the wnba at the moment. but with clark's popularity, the revenue gap could begin to shrink. >> i think it's definitely going to begin to shrink. i'd like to see those go way up, but my daughter had so much fun last night on the orange carpet, she was outside bam! but that's what they call it. and she got to see where all the new wnba players were drafted. it was such a big night for her. she didn't get to meet caitlin clark. she was a little disappointed, but she got to meet aaliyah, boston and so many other people. she had so much fun and she did such a great job. so proud of her. >> congratulations once again to all the new stars in the wnba. >> stay tuned to get this ultra nonstick bakeware set and these razor sharp chef's knives free from granite. stone. has your old set of pans lost their slick ? does everything get baked on burton and stick? you know you need a new set, but the prices are so high it's obscene. well, say hello to granite stone,

had been contained inside a nature reserve. eventually, rangers were able to herd the hippo back into the reserve. no injuries reported. >> keep in mind that a hippo charging your house would be kind of like a car plowing into it. they are really the deadliest land mammal on earth. they're not covered. you know what we always say on this show? just leave while nobody's bothering. but we're just reminding you again. leave wild animals alone. you never know. they might look cute and cuddly, but they can kill you. >> yeah, no selfies with those. >> all right. next, the brand new luxury jet service just for dogs. wait, what? yeah. dog toy company. bark is teaming up with a charter jet service to ease the challenges of long distance travel with your pooches. bark air says it will offer a white glove experience with on board chef refreshment, towels, treats, calming jackets, noise canceling ear wire dogs, traveling better than us. >> listen, they better have all of that because a round trip ticket for one dog and his accompanying human will cost $16,000. from new york to

london. or, you know, just 12 grand from new york to la. that's all. 12 grand? no spirit airlines for these dogs? >> no, i don't think so. >> next to a squirrel that just got voted into office. >> wait, what? >> where else would this happen? but you see, berkeley, a squirrel named furry boy won a student senate seat alongside 19 human candidates. it was obviously a joke. it was sponsored by a human student. >> furry boy's platform centered on public housing for squirrels and students and better access to acorns. so let's just see if he keeps up that campaign promise, because, you know, politicians will say anything when it comes to the campaign and finally to a car stuck on a flight of stairs. wait, what? and this happened inside a parking garage, inside of a stadium in brazil. a soccer fan took a very wrong turn trying to leave the garage and ended up stuck in a stairwell. what? >> the fan says he mistook the pedestrian exit sign over the

stairwell as the exit sign. he thought that's the way out because they couldn't use a tow truck, obviously. how would a tow truck get him out of there? he the firefighters had to manually lift the car out with a steel cable. wait a minute. >> so the stairs weren't a dead giveaway that those were stairs? >> how much do you want to bet he was texting or doing something else? everything. not paying attention. >> last penny, i would say in new york city, a car pun here. but you know what? i'm just exhausted
