Have you ever wondered what Kathie Lee Gifford looks like without all that war paint? Well, today your wish is half granted. On the Today Show yesterday Kathie Lee and Hoda spent six minutes washing their faces in a segment with the extremely promising title “Baring it All: Kathie Lee and Hoda shed their makeup.” False advertising. Hoda went full-out (even enduring the beauty expert giving her a special “brown skin” cleanser), but Ms. Kathie Lee simply wouldn’t get into the spirit of the things, and refused to part with her smoky eyeshadow and false eyelashes.

As a consolation prize, viewers got to enjoy Kathie Lee’s complete meltdown at the prospect of going barefaced. (And offering such helpful gems as: “There’s such a thing as adult acne! Not that I have it, of course.”) Enjoy!
