KLG takes on Efron

Hottie Zac Efron was in the studio, and the TODAY crew got all hot and feisty! There were confrontations, accusations, bickering hosts, finger-wagging and a sweatsuit-clad Kathie Lee in curlers! All while you were eating breakfast.

It started innocently enough, with the “High School Musical” tween-god talking about his latest flick “17 Again,” when the discussion veered towards his “SNL” sketch this weekend, in which he poked fun at KLG’s son Cody. It was all fun and laughs, until Kathie Lee marched onto the set to icily introduce herself and set the Gifford family record straight.

Photo in hand, Kathie Lee explained “[Cody] is way younger than you, way taller than you and way better looking! Thank you very much!”

[Editor's note: Really, cuter than Efron? Hey Cody, call me!]

KLG pretended to storm off, but not before Zac pleaded for her return. She made it clear it was all in good fun, but couldn’t resist a final jab at the moppy-haired star. “You need to do the hair thing differently – I’d never let [Cody] out of the house like that,” said the woman in curlers.

But who had the last word? Our very own Matt Lauer. As KLG casually rested on him during her interrogation, he exclaimed “Can you do me one favor? Can you take your hand off that shoulder, please?” She had chosen the shoulder that was injured during his recent deer encounter.

Watch the clip.

Seeing Kathie Lee come sauntering out in sweats and in curlers was hilarious!  What good sports she and Zac both were.  
WOW
I'm surprised there were no more than 2 comments about this silly episode.  
Kathielee n Hoda ,

I caught the last part of the q-tip botox discussion.Do you have a web site for this.By the way, Love watching you guys. Love Kathielee she is so funny.

Thanks,
C.S.
please tell me what type make-up you use as your complexion looks so smooth.  All the ladies on TV have that same look.  Do you have a special make-up for TV or can a regular person have that look.
omg you ladies rock! i work 10:30p to 7a and in Illinois i see you at 10a i stay up just for you! keep doing what you do!
Your show is great, I plan my clients around your first 15 minutes so I don't miss anything.  My father-in-law was in love with Hoda when she was down in Naples/Fort Myers, Fl.  It's great to have a family fun show that we can enjoy and watch.  Thank you.  
please email me the web address for the botox in a q-tip please.

Thanks alot
Yes, where do you get the botox? I have had botex done on my forehead before, but it is too expensive to keep up wity.

Thanks,
Love you guys watch you every morning ,please e mail me the web site for the q tip botox, i would like to try it i,m having a 50 yr school reunion comming up and would like to look good for that .Keep up the good work  a big fan...marie romano
The ladies rock.  Its refreshing to watch them, no made up fights, no anger management issues and pride put aside and egos don't rule. We watch their highs and lows, the laughter and the gaffs.  Please don't change.
I thought what Kathie Lee did was spot on. She was right about Codie being better looking than Zac. I agree with her about Zac's hair. I work during the day and have to see Kathie Lee and Hoda on the internet. I have followed Kathie Lee for years and I'm  glad she is back on TV.  
I think that it would be a fantastic idea to have Donald Braswell of America's Got Talent, sing a song for Everyone Has A Story.  He has the most beautiful voice, an inspirational story and a touchingly beautiful song he wrote when he couldn't speak, after losing his voice in an accident. After years of struggling and hard work, he now has his voice back, and, it is better and stronger than ever.
I don't like the SNL gags on Kathie Lee and Hoda. I think they are really in bad taste.
Hello, I love the show and get lots of laughs, but I cried along with the young lady whose mother had a makeover this morning.
Kepp up the good work.

I think that was a great surprise. KLG is great at fun surprises.
I do not think the lady should have a make over. Keep her as God amde her that will be her trade mark Love you both sometimes you just pick me up when i am down thanks for the laughs Deb smith Ohio 330-509-0585
love the 4th hour of "today" the ladies are very funny
can u tell me what colour of nail polish Kathie Lee uses
thanks,Michelle
KLG and Hoda you guys have the best show and deliver it without a fuss and lots of laughs.  

ZE is molten hot btw!
I am a mother of 4 adult children and 7 grandchildren, my rule of thumb is if I wouldn't let my family do this , I will not let someone else's child do it". Whether it be in my home or in public I take the child's safety and welfare into consideration not the parent's issues.  
9 times out of 10 if you ask a child not to do something they will stop and be playing with something else while the adult parent is still pouting.  Kids want to please adults, they are Gods blessings and we should treat them as such.
Kathie Lee and Hoda are great!!  They are very entertaining.  Could you please send me the email for the Q-tip botox, I would really like to try it.  Thanks you.
I love KLG and Hoda.  I could hear them talk all day long.  I would like to know where I can buy the coffee mug they use. Thanks ladies and keep up that spirit and joy you give us every morning.
