To go from city slickers to a group of country music stars for Halloween, the TODAY anchors needed some help. And at least one rhinestone-studded dress.
TODAY went behind the scenes to see how Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb and Megyn Kelly transformed into country music icons on Tuesday.
Matt returned to his feminine roots on Halloween a year after dressing as ’90s-era Jerry Seinfeld by becoming Dolly Parton, complete with big hair, rhinestones and high heels.
Dolly herself helped him with the transformation, including teaching him some of that “hillbilly swag.”
Savannah put on a full beard and leisure suit to became Dolly’s famous duet partner and fellow Country Music Hall of Famer, Kenny Rogers.
They were joined by all the anchors and some famous guests as they sang Kenny and Dolly’s No. 1 hit “Islands in the Stream.”
