Geist said that he and wife Christina “love a 70s party” in particular.
“Yeah, give me a costume, give me a kind of music, give me a challenge,” he added.
“Yeah, and I feel like the ’70s looks good on everyone,” Guthrie agreed.
When the picture of them in extravagant, sparkly outfits popped up, Geist realized that Guthrie reminded him of someone.
“You look like Michelle Pfeiffer there!” he exclaimed. “I mean, Scarface, the dress.”
Guthrie then teased Geist and her husband, Michael Feldman, “both have a pornstar vibe going” with their looks, calling the image “incredible.”
“Yeah, now that I look at myself, is that even 70s?” Geist joked. “You just need a porn-stache.”
TODAY with Jenna & Friends
Guthrie and Geist are set to co-host Jenna & Friends all week while Jenna Bush Hager is off.
The fourth hour show was previously hosted by Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb, who retired in January after 17 years with the network.
On Monday, Jan. 6, Bush Hager, 43, announced that a rotating list of celebrity guests would be stepping in to help fill the empty slot, including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria and Keke Palmer. In June, she offered an update on the search for a replacement for Kotb during an interview with PEOPLE.
“We’re still searching,” she said. “We definitely want somebody permanent at some point just because that’s our show, and I think the Today show is such a family.”
“So to have somebody sit in that seat means a lot to all of us. So it will happen,” she continued. “I think we’ve all just been kind of living day by day and we don’t have any developments yet, but we will.”
