Friday Q&A: Hair color, hybrid cars, and game shows

Every Friday, Meredith answers your questions. Feel free to post a question of your own for next time.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2007

I don't know if it has been asked or if it's a dumb question, but what is your natural hair color????
Posted by jorgeF on September 18 at 05:52pm

What do you mean my “natural” hair color. Are you suggesting I color my hair? Okay, my natural color is medium brown.


What was your first car and what kind of car do you currently drive? Are you interested in hybrid cars?
Posted by Dave on September 18 at 05:35pm

My first car was a VW Beetle. I named him Schultz (after Sergeant I-know-nothing-Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes). He was blue with a stick shift. I currently drive a Honda Odyssey mini-van. We also have a hybrid Lexus SUV.


After a good while hosting Millionare, I have to ask: if you could be on any game show (past or present), which do you think you'd do the best on and why?

I think I would do well on What’s My Line, but not as a contestant. I’d want to be one of the people bluffing because it looks like it would be fun to take on a different identity.

Meredith, I love you. I loved you on "The View" and can't wait 'tll you "guest" there in October. I also sent three of my kids off to college. You would think that it gets easier after the first one but it doesn't. Hang in there--life goes on. Lottie

Meredith, you will be fine in a short time. I sent our only child off to college for four years. You are luckier than most because you can always fly to see him because of your financial status where so many cannot.Be happy for Ben and his enthusiasm. Julia

Just wanted to thank you for answering my question... I wish the game show network aired more episodes of What's my Line, I adore it... plus it's so interesting to see the people and realize they've never heard of the Beatles or computers or cell phones!

Regading cars my first was a Honda Prelude. (Manual shift)

An while selling our car soon as moving to the city (Tell Lenny Dave says Hi and hope to be there by mid Oct latest) hybrids are interesting but I would rather have an Electric Car. California had a manate in the 90's to have 10% electric by 2003 but sadly the current white house helped sue to end the California Mandate. Wish the media would cover this story as it's definately tied to the issue of Climate change and Global Warming. My question to Bush is if he really is interested in the Global Warming issue why did he help kill a car that would have helped the issue rather then hurt it like killing the car did.

Hello there, I saw the skit with John Mayer the other day. It was amusing. But I think your voice does have potential!Which makes sense because it sounds nice when you talk. If you enjoy singing, I suggest you take lessons. Believe me, with the right coach you may be pleasantly surprised. However, I would refrain from singing THE TODAY song:)

If your oldest is going to the university I think he is (judging by the late September orientation and the nearness to the Redwoods), don't worry. Ben will be so happy that you will be able to relax and be happy for him. My husband and I went there as did both our children. It's a great place. I found that instant message works best for staying in touch because the ability for me to see that we were both online at the same time was often all the reassurance I needed that everything was okay. Other times, we would share a laugh or two over the latest youtube viral video. You'll get plenty of email when he needs you to proofread a paper.

(Sorry his roommate showed up with a TV...that used to be so uncool at the farm. The thinking being that there were so many great conversations to be had with your dormmmates, why would you need a TV? They'll probably just use it for Southpark, TDS, and The Office.)

Good luck on the view...

Meredith,
After having their brother leave for college this week were Gabe and Lily really upset? Also is life more complicated now that you're dealing with school schedules again? By the way I saw you on Late night with Conan O'Brian Friday night and you were great!!

Sincerely,
Rachael S.

Meredith,
YOU ROCK, BABY!!!!!! :)
You own a Lexus, too!! (RX-400h Hybrid SUV)
I LOVE Lexus!!! They are among THE coolest luxury cars on the planet!! And I am a big fan of the RX series of SUVs (the GX's are great, too).
I love practically all of their cars, particularly the IS series of sedans.
You are just TOO COOL, Meredith! :)
Now that I know someone who owns a hybrid (you), I do have to ask a question:

How does your hybrid car perform? Do hybrids live up to their expectations? Does your hybrid require a lot of maintenance or has it been really good to you?

Joe
a Lexus fan for life :)

Good morning Meredith,

Just a note to say, you add much class to the Today Show. You are a beautiful, smart and very personal woman, who shows much sincerity when you do an interview. Thank you for who you are and what you do.

Tiffany said:

How are Gabe and Lily dealing with their brother being gone away to college? Were they very close?

Marcus said:

Did you read Anderson Cooper's article a few years back about going gray? Thank goodness we, as men, have it easier. My mother and I both started turning gray in our early thirties. She continues to color her hair. I stopped after two years. Go natural Silver Beauties!

What ever happened to Campbell Brown, miss her very much, she was a great asset to the show. Ann is a great interviewer and News Caster but she is lacking in the Host roll.
