Zac Efron was on the Today show this morning to talk about his new movie 17 Again. The plot reminds me of a combination of Freaky Friday and Big since he plays the younger version of Matthew Perry’s character who suddenly is 17-years-old again. Unfortunately, his film promotion wasn’t the highlight of the interview…
I haven’t been able to find a video but, this past weekend, Zac Efron hosted Saturday Night Live and it was a pretty good episode. Of course, the show 
couldn’t resist making fun of the one-year anniversary of Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb pairing up. Zac played Kathie Lee’s infamous son, Cody (anyone who watched Regis and Kathie Lee knows that the woman bordered on obsessed with the child).
I didn’t realize the former High School Musical star was going to be on the Today show. He must have been a bit nervous about the appearance after the skit.
Anyway, Matt Lauer started asking him about the skit when Kathie Lee walked out from backstage with curlers in her hair. AWKWARD. She came out with a picture to show Zac what Cody really looks like and told him that Cody is “way younger than you, way taller than you and way better looking.” Fortunately, she agreed that it is a compliment to have someone as popular as Zac Efron portraying Cody in the SNL skit but I wonder if, deep down, she was cranky about it. She seemed a little miffed to me. Watch the segment:
