It’s fairly rare to see all the Today Show hosts together in a single episode. Between busy schedules, days off, and rotating shifts, the full team is seldom on screen at the same time. However, this week, the NBC morning show enjoyed a special broadcast that saw all four hours of the show hosted in County Kerry, Ireland at Sheen Falls Lodge, sponsored by Tourism Ireland. The Instagram page for Kenmare Tourism shared a photograph of all the hosts posing by a local pub with the locals. The entire Today gang – Carson Daly, Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer, Sheinelle Jones, Savannah Guthrie, Jenna Bush Hager, and Craig Melvin – posed together with big smiles. All the hosts looked very relaxed as they took in the very different scenery compared to their typical studio in New York City. They also embraced their new surroundings through their outfits, with all hosts clad in countryside attire. © InstagramIt is rare to see all the hosts together “We are feeling all the love for Kenmare right now and we …
