Larson meets Kotb
Kathie Lee, Hoda, and ... Michaela? Yes, that was Rocca chef Michaela Larson on the "Today" show this morning. She appeared during the 11 a.m. hour, which is hosted by frequent "Saturday Night Live" targets (see above) Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. Kathie Lee was off yesterday, so Larson got to mingle on camera with Kotb and special guest Tamra Barney, of "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Larson's segment was about how to throw a last-minute deck party for guests. She taught Kotb and Barney to make pesto and served up a signature Rocca drink, the Ligurian Lemonade.
