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.

"We are feeling all the love for Kenmare right now and we are loving it! Wishing @loughnane80 and everyone @sheenfalls the very best with the broadcast tomorrow. You have done Kenmare proud," read the caption.

During the October 16 instalment of the show, the hosts enjoyed a relaxed episode, which saw them visit pubs to down pints of Guinness as well as speak to locals about the area. Carson also reunited with a long lost family member as he explored his Irish heritage in the episode. "We love our Studio 1A, but we could get used to this," they said during the broadcast. "We're off duty," added Savannah.

Although the NBC show often travels overseas, broadcasting four hours live from Ireland with all hosts presented a significant shift to its usual programming.
Al Roker previously spoke to HELLO! about the great dynamic he shares with his co-stars. "The great thing about the Today Show is that the sum is greater than its equal parts," he shared. "They've all subbed, they've all stepped in, and we don't miss a beat. So no matter what happens, we're going to be in great shape," Al ensured, noting that the show, which has been on the air since 1952, is "built to evolve."
He continued: "Each one of us is very fortunate to be in this position, for however long we have, and then we pass the baton off to somebody else. So the future of the show is just as strong and bright no matter who steps in."
