Carrie Fisher Co-Hosts NBC's Today Show in its Wacky Fourth Hour
Someone at NBC's Today Show must love Star Wars. It was weird enough when the entire cast donned Star Wars costumes for Halloween a few years ago. And it's cringeworthy every time someone on the show called fourth hour co-host, Hoda Kotb, "Yoda" Kotb (which is also the costume they assigned her on that Halloween). But someone had the bright idea to have Carrie Fisher co-host the fourth hour this morning when Kathie Lee Gifford took a morning off. Carrie Fisher is funny and entertaining, but the whole thing is one of the most offbeat choices in morning network television in recent memory. You can find the whole hour, broken into several sections on the Today area of MSNBC.com .
