NBC's "Today" Baring One's Goal: May Sweeps Stunt

"Today" show anchoress Natalie Morales on why Kathie Lee and Hoda Kotb were exposing makeup free facess in front of God and everyone on national TV:  "So women can feel good in their natural state."  Kathie Lee and Hoda Kotb did not face the NBC cameras sans makeup for the whole 10a hour. At least on my NBC affiliate. I fell for the hype.  Sucker that I am...

They never came out without makeup, although the promised segment promising "The Full Monty" was teased to the very end. More like a partial Monty.  Maybe Kathie Lee and Hoda didn't realize The Full Monty is full nudity when they gleefully and cluelessly shouted the movie title in unison.

During the last cooking segment Ann Curry announced they were "running out of time." 

How convenient!  The cooking segment segued into a commercial break and the "Today" show vanished into TV etherland...

But on the Today website here's the video where Kathie Lee dares us to find her plastic surgery scars (she doesn't show her ears - front and back - where the telltale scars would be), and please she barks, NBC camera shooter, NO shots of her neck!  "If you see a scar, I'll own up to it."  You'd also find a small facelift scar under her chin where the surgeon performed liposuction to extract the fat. And scars can be removed by lasers.

CB finds Kathie Lee has had facial laser resurfacing surgery (the redness and smoothness), is wearing false eyelashes here, has eye primer makeup on as well as lip primer and gloss, has undereye concealer in the alleged no makeup segment.  The eye primer settled into Kathie Lee's upper eye lift scars (see photo). Kathie Lee has had face filler injections like Juvaderm, Restylane or Radiesse. As for Hoda, her face is sincerely bare.  Both women's faces were rendered supple beforehand with moisturizers.

  1. Marty,
    That's why they call them make-up ARTISTS.

  3. On behalf of all 3 billion men, let me say, "Ladies, thanks for putting it on".
    Later, I'll get to, "Ladies, thanks for taking it off".

  5. All I can tell you is Kathie Lee is lying about no makeup. She's the only one who didn't tell the truth. Bitch!

  6. Jim, you've seen me without makeup. I never wear it unless I'm going to be on your show or some big do.

    You saw me in Sparta when you and Annabelle visited. The only thing I refuse to give up: lipstick. Or lipgloss.

    Otherwise, my face is usually always naked.

  7. Oh dear. I don't think they look all that great with make up. And those aren't natural eyelashes on Kathy- if she's not wearing mascara, she's had them dyed or she's using that Brooke Shields stuff.

  11. Marty speaks the truth. She never has makeup I can detect. Never needs it, either! You must have had yourself dipped in lacquer at age 30, or else you're taking Lena Horne shots, or Essence of Dick Clark!

  12. That's dedication for you. Our Marty never wears make up unless she is going to be on the radio!

    Otherwise, she'd rather be naked. A stance we all can applaud.

  13. Actually, I think I'll give them credit. That took guts, even if it was only for ratings sweeps.

  14. It did take guts, Tom! And Kathie Lee is wearing false eyelashes. Probably individual eyelashes. Can they do eyelash implants?

    Essence of Dick Clark, Jim? That sounds dirty!

    No, I have done everything humanly and scientifically possible to maintain my youthful looks.

  15. I like anon's comment about NBC making the MSNBC's Olbermann, Maddow & Matthews look good.
