Oktoberfest On 'Today': Which Anchor Can Hold Five Pound Beer Stein Longest?

There's nothing like good, old fashioned masskrugstemmen to liven up a national television show.

The "Today" show celebrated Oktoberfest with a test of endurance on Friday, but not by drinking beer and eating sausages. The morning show co-hosts battled it out to see who could hold out a five-pound stein of beer with one arm the longest.

Kim Kardashian, who was filling in for Kathie Lee, was the first one to drop out of the contest. Surprisingly, Hoda Kotb — who has lifted her fair share of drinks on the show — was the next to fail. Al Roker was the next one down, spilling some beer after his arm started shaking. He wasn't so amused when Matt Lauer jokingly asked him, "Is that a LIGHT beer?"

That left Ann Curry, Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Wolfe to battle it out. Guthrie gave it her all, but had to stop two and half minutes in, crouching down and mouthing, "I'm exhausted." Wolfe, who was the projected winner, shocked her colleagues when she slammed her beer down. Roker could be heard saying, "Jenna can't hold her beer!"

Curry was the last one standing, but even she was bending her elbow more as the clock ticked, saying, "I just want to drink it." Which she did, happily.
