National Spelling Bee Begins
The Scripps National Spelling Bee starts Wednesday, culminating with the final rounds Thursday night.
Carolyn Andrews talks with Alex Cohen about her job for the past decade — picking the words for the national competition.
Alex Cohen also talks with Day to Day's worst speller, Mike Pesca, to see if he can handle last year's winning word.
