1. Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie's On-Air Chemistry
Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie make the perfect duo to start your day. Since becoming co-hosts in Jan. 2018, the pair have continued be a favorite among Today viewers. They are the first pair of women to co-anchor the iconic NBC morning show. But, what we love most about these two is their enduring friendship on screen and off. They have worked together on Today since 2012 when Guthrie joined the news program, traveled the globe together to cover various stories and celebrated many personal milestones together.
2. The Concerts on the Today Plaza
From Jennifer Lopez to the Jonas Brothers, there are no shortage of stars performing on the Today plaza. The show just completed its 24th annual summer concert series with a performance by OneRepublic. While the music genre may vary, it's guaranteed that these concerts are always high energy and fun to watch as fans fill the plaza for the early morning performances.
3. Al Roker's Inspiring Health Journey
Al Rocker is an inspiration to many viewers because of his openness with his health battles. The 65-year-old weather forecaster has taken viewers along as he underwent knee replacement, gastric bypass and carpal tunnel surgeries. The married television personality also recently shared that he had hip replacement surgery. It's his candidness about his health journey that is just one of the reasons that we can't get enough of watching him.
4. The Epic Halloween Shows
There is no question that Today knows how to celebrate Halloween. The hosts of the morning show famously dress up as pop culture figures each year. Last year, the co-hosts threw a ‘80s Halloween party complete with costumes like Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. We can't wait to see what theme the anchors take on this year.
