Savannah Guthrie’s characteristic caramel-colored hair is well-known among Today show viewers. Every year, millions of televisions display her golden tone, adding a touch of brightness to your morning. However, Guthrie’s hair wasn’t always yellow.

She’d prefer to leave her 2013 auburn hair in the past. “I don’t know why I thought I needed to dye my hair red that one time,” she told me. “I just went out one day, dyed it red, and came in [to the show] the next day, and all the managers were like, ‘Oh, that looks good.
