"Weekend Today" spent its Sunday morning broadcast celebrating a major television milestone: 25 years on the air.
Former “Weekend Today” anchors joined Lester Holt and Jenna Wolfe on set to remember their favorite memories from past weekend broadcasts.
Former anchors including Al Roker, Boyd Matson, Garrick Utley, Mary Alice Williams, Scott Simon, Jackie Nespral, Mike Schneider, Giselle Fernandez and Jodi Applegate reunited live in studio on Sunday morning.
NBC News launched a Sunday edition of "Today" as an experiment in 1987, determined to see if the morning television show could work past the weekdays. The program debuted with Maria Shriver and Boyd Matson as co-hosts, and Garrick Utley as the news anchor.
"The idea was, this was your broadcast version of your Sunday paper," Al Roker said during an interview on the show's history.
