Matt Lauer And Al Roker's Rhythmic Gymnastics Routine (VIDEO)

On Tuesday morning's "Today" show, Matt Lauer and Al Roker performed an inspired rhythmic gymnastics routine that easily qualifies as must-see TV. After a lesson in ribbons and hoops from Canadian rhythmic gymnastics superstar Alexandra Orlando, the pair took to the mat for what gymnastics analyst Tim Daggett described as "unprecedented male tandem rhythmic gymnastics."

"Remember this, Tim," his co-analyst Elfi Schlegel joked. "This is all fine and well but the Russian morning show hosts, they still have to go."

Watch as Matt and Al twist and turn to Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver," with a special cameo from Brian Williams:

3 snaps up in a circle, loved it!

[PurplePhase]

Yup. Matt "Airhead" Lauer and Al "Porky" Roker are a joke.

[GeeEll]

I beg to differ - it's NOT "must-see TV": it's two insufferable douches wasting the time that could be spent watching the greatest athletes in the world.

[YellerDawg]

Thank you.

[dam1r]

'Zactly!

[rooks]

Asshat, no humor bone?

[TN]

Loved it, thanks matt and Al for being real men who are secure enough in their manhood to do something soo girlie. Was really funny, thanks for the laugh.

[oscartucker]

This was funny; nice to have a laugh! Glad they don't take themselves so seriously all the time.

[Le nombril]

I agree. All of this super serious sports stuff detracts from the enjoyment. Sports should be fun. Bring back fun in sports.

[Le nombril]

PS. Bring back the fun in other things as well, like politics or life.

[Mammamia]

Hysterical! Matt looks a bit like Dustin Hoffman in RainMan, don't you think?!

[DDike88]

Classic.

[LiberalBuzz]

That was pretty funny.

Brian saved it completely.

[ENK727]

Imagine making millions to do silly things like this and be on TV for a few hours every morning.

[Diogenis]

Picture it! THE OLYMPICS 2008

Mc Cain and Obama..........in the pool.

[JonG345]

brian williams to save the day

[happycat]

He was the only slightly amusing part of this skit which is too bad b/c I had high hopes.

[Diogenis]

Now, that's what I call...good sports!

[jsar70]

It was funny. Lighten up folks. The Brian Williams cameo was hilarious.

[Diogenis]

Dawg, why you barkin up the wrong tree?

[Melissa]

It was very funny!

[YellerDawg]

Painfully embarrassing. Sort of a train wreck set to music. Talk about your vast wasteland.

[Nyland8]

Cute ... but it lacks the intimacy and romance of the two-man luge.
