Due to restrictions, we had to remove the video of TODAY's musical tribute to Meredith. Although the footage of our plaza celebration is no longer online, you can still relive the fun of that June morning below.
Original post
The whole TODAY team got together to send off Meredith in true TODAY style – with a big song and dance!
The crew, producers, correspondents, TODAY.com team – along with special guests Abe Vigoda and Jimmy Fallon – performed a number to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" live on the plaza, wearing color-coded T-shirts that showed the whole world just how much we heart Meredith.
It all began with Meredith and Matt at the piano as the classic Journey song started to play...
That's senior producer Dee Dee Thomas, set writer Jared Carullo and executive producer Jim Bell leading a cheering section in the control room...
Next, Kathie Lee and Hoda grabbed Meredith and ran her out onto the plaza...
Where Al grabbed her, and joined the entire TODAY team...
Who screamed and cheered as they met up with Jimmy Fallon, who rocked out on the guitar and brought her across the street!
When she got back to the plaza, the whole team was performing the choreographed dance they've been perfecting for days.
Even Abe Vigoda was there! Which is why he's been trending on Twitter. (Remember this hilarious moment?)
By the end, Meredith was in tears as Al, Matt, Ann and Natalie presented her with a special keepsake – a picture of the whole gang at the re-opening of the Statue of Liberty.
