It was the latest example of the "ice bucket challenge" to help raise money for ALS, sometimes known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The challenge, which has been taken up by Matt Lauer, Natalie Morales, Martha Stewart, Boston mayor Marty Walsh and many others, is to get a bucket of freezing water dumped on your head or donate $100 to ALS research. Then the tradition is to pass the challenge along to three others.

Hoda was up for the challenge!

"I am prepared," she said, wearing a shower cap to protect her lovely locks. "I am ready to go!"

But TODAY senior producer Joanne LaMarca wasn't having it.

Hoda passed the challenge on to three of her pals: Her co-anchor Kathie Lee Gifford, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and country superstar Blake Shelton. But she's going to donate the $100 too!
