Hoedown!

I went to the beach with some friends this past weekend and since it rained Friday morning we spent some time in the condo relaxing and watching TV. We landed on the fourth hour of the Today show, known as the "Kathie Lee Gifford & Hoda Kotb" hour. Prior to Friday, I had only seen the Saturday Night Live parody of the show and after watching the actual show I now have a much greater appreciation for the skit. It is incredibly similar - I mean I always assumed Kristen Wiig was going a little over the top with her Kathie Lee impersonation but it's actually not that far off. Her facial expressions are the best! I encourage you to watch the videos below to make the comparison for yourself. The first clip is the SNL skit and the second one is from what we saw on Friday. For the best part of the real show fast forward to the 4:30 mark, Hoda tells her not to drink the wine yet and Kathie Lee pays no attention. Hilarious!
