Steve Negley, Colorado Springs, Colo — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:30:44 GMT

Matt and Al, I must commend you for trying these new sports, but I must say your attempt at the rhythmic gymnastics might be your best attempt yet. I was laughing so hard I almost choked on my morning coffee and it was the funniest thing i've seen...well since last nights re-run of King of Queens. I can see Brian Williams is a big fan also. You have the best morning show on TV. Keep up the great work. Could ya work in a kiss for Meredith for me between the ribbon work??

Matt and Al: First synchro, then the luge, now...

Amanda Dunn, Columbus, Ohio — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:58:32 GMT

I wasn't sure you guys were going to top the luge but I stand corrected. This is awsome. I do have one question: judging by the training clips you guys were having a great time poking fun at yourselves. How did you get through the routine without cracking up? That's the most amazing part.

Matt and Al: First synchro, then the luge, now...

deb z — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:59:08 GMT

But my favorite part was watching Brian Williams, waiting patiently -- and maybe a little disdainfully -- for his turn with the ribbon on a stick!

Hi, Matt and Al. I'm a Rhythmic Gymnast with North Shore Rhythmics in Illinois. Thanks for choosing our sport this year. You're right. Rhythmic is a lot harder than it looks! You guys did great! You just need a little more practice.

Matt and Al: First synchro, then the luge, now...

B Abrams — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:18:38 GMT

My favorite part of the Olympic coverage on the Today show is when Al and Matt "compete" in an Olympic sport. How you keep a straight face, I'll never know. How brave you both are to put on those costumes. Nice job guys! P.S. The luge is still my favorite.

Lisa, Colorado Springs, CO — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:44:34 GMT

I've seen the synchro swimming which was highly amusing, and the luge nearly had me asphyxiated with hysterics, but this...I have no words. So overwhelmed with emotion for the grace and beauty, I couldn't even react.

Kinda like watching a bungee jump. Looks terrifying, but no one got hurt.

Frank Polaskey, Benton Harbor, Michigan — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:01:53 GMT

Matt & Al,

Again, the Today Show Has done a fantastic job. Your story on Rhythmic Gymnastics was spellbinding. In this day and age, it is quite refreshing to see two grown men, not afraid to poke fun at themselves. You guys do a great job in your serious and not so serious journalist activities. It is a nice change of pace to see that you have the courage to do these kind of stories. It was especially funny to see Brian Williams get involved in this also. Thanks again for all of your hard work. We Americans are very pround of you and the work that the entire Today Show puts on everyday. You are wonderful representatives of the American people, and you should be proud of the jobs that you do.
Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

So funny, thanks for giving me a good laugh this morning! My two year old daughter said, "Oh, Mommy, those boys are really good!" Her favorite part of the Olympics is watching the "magicsticks" (gymnastics), mine is waiting to see what Matt & Al come up with!

Colleen Warren, Spanish Fork, UT — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:05:49 GMT

Al and Matt, I watch the today show almost religiously! I've seen you do a lot of crazy things on TV. I laughed when I watched you do the luge and the sychronized swimming! Guys, to do what you did to rhythmic gymnastics was beautifully......painful! Thanks for giving us, that are not athletic, hope! You keep up the good work! My day wouldn't be the same without the today show "family!"

Andre` Tramble — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:58:52 GMT

Al
I have to say first that I never written a blog to anyone before and this urge to write was undoubtedly, jumpstarted by the airing of your jymnastic debut, with Matt this morning on the Today show.

While I have never been known to stay so glued, to the olympic floor excersizes before, You and Matt have changed my view of the floor excersizes forever.

The grace and coordination by which you guys seem to move, in a sendom ever seen syncronization, has left me speechless!

Talk about your gold metal performances!

It was really worth being a little late for work this morning.

Moved to write,

Andre` Tramble

P.S. I have to tell you that I will never see the gymnastic floor events quite the same again!

Sally Morgan, Lebanon, Oregon — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:46:48 GMT

I watched your performance with great enthusiasm. What grace and style both you and Matt showed. The little flirtation actions made you look like you are generally fond of each other and it helped with the beauty of the presentation. Don’t get me wrong, I
thought you were great, but Brian Williams use of the ribbon was just a little more polished than the two of you. I look forward to the next Olympics and what you will accomplish there.

Matt and Al: First synchro, then the luge, now...

I am disabled with Cerebral Palsy, 55 years old, and admire the ability of all of our athletes. I only wish the networks would do justice to those who compete in the Para-olympics, three weeks from now.

Matt and Al. I missed watching you two during the regular broadcast, but I was able to watch it just now. I have to say if it weren't for you two being able to have fun without "making fun" at any sport you choose to showcase it would be a boring tutorial of said sport. Thanks for the laughs. My fav so far has to be the lugeing in Torino though. Can't wait to see what you two come up with at the next olympics.
Thanks again for a great laugh!

As a mother of a rhythmic gymnast, I cant thank you enough for highlighting Alex...sadly no US girls made the cut, but that is because of hokey international rules, not for lack of trying. Well done, and thank you for showing our sport respect. It aint easy, I assure you!

I love it when 'star's are not too full of themselves to occasionally make fun of themselves! Congrats to Matt and Al for giving us all a good laugh.... Well done!
