From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines
KLG and Hoda frequently talk about their social movement from greeting with a handshake to greeting with a bump of the bums.
It is their answer to reducing the spread of germs and if chef Tom Colicchio didn't know about it before, he knows now.
This morning, Kathie Lee and Hoda took a look at the evolution of their tresses through the years. As expected, there are both hair hits and mane misses (hey, the '80s took many fashion victims). What do you think? Which styles do you like best?

Kathie Lee had "big news in our family" to share with viewers this morning. For the past seven months, her son Cody has been dating Claire Schreiner, "a beautiful girl" from Gillette, Wyoming -- and on Sunday night, she was crowned Miss Wyoming USA, meaning she will go on to compete in the Miss USA pageant next April. Cody sent his mom a text saying "I'm really proud of her."
"She was focused to get ready for this," Kathie Lee commented to Hoda Kotb. "Sort of like me every morning getting focused to be with you."
Check out how Claire looked winning the crown and see what a cute couple she and Cody make. Watch the video after the jump.

It's important to have role models in life. Growing up, I always looked up to my dad. Well, my dad and Kirby Puckett. He was the epitome of a baseball player -- athletic, smart. He was not only a leader in the clubhouse, but in the community as well. The same can be said about my dad. Except for maybe that whole athletic thing (sorry dad). But he served as the perfect example when it came to a work ethic that I still strive to duplicate.
Everyone has these mentors in their life, including our anchors here at TODAY. So, I decided to ask the TODAY family in this week's Getting to Know TODAY: Who's your role model? Some of their answers may surprise you...

One of the last fans standing on the Plaza this morning....
...was able to get a better view inside our studio.
Al Roker -- what a guy. So many words come to mind when you think of America's favorite weatherman.
He is always ready to offer viewers the most up-to-date weather news -- while offering a little entertainment at the same time. He's covered countless hurricanes and storms, but he has also been seen running around the plaza as the Gingerbread Man, shared a little jig with "Shrek's" Princess Fiona and even performed rhythmic gymnastics in Beijing. All in all, Al certainly brings plenty of joy and laughs to viewers across the country. So, I asked the TODAY family in this week's Getting to Know TODAY: Finish the sentence: Al Roker makes me ...
