Not everyone has their own heater! Today Show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer caught out trying to keep warm during Thanksgiving Day Parade
|
As dawn broke, Today show stars Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer were left in frosty temperatures - with hours to go before hosting the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
So the hosts relied on a trusty member of crew to blow hot air on the pair from underneath the cameras to warm them up from their perch in Herald Square in New York City.
Matt, 55, told Natalie Morales, Willie Geist and Kate Snow - who were back in the warmth of studio 1A - that the wind was a 'bit of an issue', as Savannah, 41, said it was 'a little bit chilly'.

Before handing back to his co-hosts, Matt said: 'We just want to say we've been cheating a little bit.
'We want you to see Ray Croce with this magic heat machine.'
As they bowed down to give Ray a hug, Matt said: 'We love this guy!'
Willie, 38, told them: 'Cheaters, cheaters!'
Meanwhile, Savannah dolled herself up for the main show and took off her puffa jacket and hat and removed it for an elegant maroon coat with matching lipstick.
However, Matt Lauer and Al Roker were accused of looking like hobos today while hosting parade day coverage in New York, all thanks to the scruffy beards they’ve grown for Movember.
Twitter lit up this morning with commenters cracking on the hosts’ unkempt looks as they stood outside bundled up against the cold at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Braced for the bitter winds expected for the day, Roker and Lauer definitely weren’t looking their svelte selves.
As more people noticed, more of the jokes rolled in.
Each year this month, men across America—and even the globe—grow out their facial hair in order to raise raise awareness of testicular cancer and other men's health issues.
Despite being a well-known and growing tradition, Roker continued to catch flack Thursday—even from those who revere him.
‘Much respect for Al Roker's many roles: marathoner, newsman, etc, & his latest role as homeless man broadcaster,’ quipped @bradkosar.
While @brettfaultless joked: 'Quick! There's a homeless man interviewing Carrie Underwood! How'd he get up there? Someone help her! Oh wait. It's Matt Lauer.'
