Will the real Matt Lauer please stand up?
Matt has his share of lookalikes out there, both real and fictional. Yesterday, People magazine unveiled a photo spread that shows TODAY hosts Matt, Meredith, Ann and Al rocking funky ‘70s style. The mustachioed Matt bears a striking resemblance to another anchor who’s “kind of a big deal”: Ron Burgundy, the fictional reporter played by Will Ferrell in the comedy film “Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy.”

TODAY helped People magazine celebrate its 35th anniversary by re-creating the show’s set from 1974, and all four anchors got into the groove by donning '70s polyester and shaggy hairdos (check out those 'staches!). Here’s a sneak peek at the magazine spread, which goes on sale on newsstands on Friday. Far out!

Love, peace and SOUL … on TODAY?
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...
Be sure to tell us about your role models below!
Have a great week, and be sure to give a quick thanks to that role model in your life, regardless of their connection to you or...their athletic ability.
