Remembering Matt Lauer's Beard: 2013-2014

He's Done It!

For most of the "Today" co-hosts, "No-Shave November" came to an end a long time ago. Except for Matt Lauer, who decided to forego shaving and keep his beard for another four months.

But today, on this 20th day of March, Matt Lauer officially said goodbye to the scruff.

We can't say we'll miss it, but it has certainly had a good run. Between the Sochi olympics, the Golden Globes and talking to Rob Ford, the beard has actually gotten pretty famous. It certainly knows more celebrities than we do.
