* Willard Scott's ''epic'' Carmen Miranda impression during his first few years on the show. It completely won him over on a national level (prior to ''Today'' he was mostly known only in the Washington DC area) and cemented his EnsembleDarkhorse status, a status he would retain all throughout TheEighties and well into TheNineties (he's ''still on the show to this day'', doing the Smucker's 100th birthdays segment).
* Really, as mentioned above, the very fact that Willard is still on the show, even after Bryant Gumbel's scathing memo got leaked, after his beloved wife passed away, after suffering a panic attack when about to do the weather. [[ThePollyanna He handled all of that gracefully]], and while his role on the show has considerably decreased, he remains an inspiration (not to mention a dear friend) to the entire ''Today'' team.
