Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants.
Tina Fey’s gift for Al Roker is so fetch. Fey sent the TODAY weatherman a DVD of “Mean Girls” after Al said he had never seen the 2004 comedy in the wake of a new Walmart Black Friday commercial that reunited stars Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried. “Yesterday, I let it be known I had never seen @meangirls so this was on the desk in my dressing room this morning,” Al captioned a photo of the DVD, along with a note from Fey, on his Instagram page on Nov. 3. “Thanks, Tina.
Tina.” On the Nov. 2 edition of TODAY, Al had mentioned he hadn’t seen the movie, while he and Carson Daly appeared indifferent about the ad and an upcoming film based on the 'Mean Girls' musical. Since Fey had given them the DVD, Al now plans to sit down and see what the fuss is all about. “I’ve got to watch it. I’m going to watch it,” Al said Nov. 3 on TODAY.
