The TODAY crew also shared a behind-the-scenes look at how they put their costumes together, revealing that they got a little help from the shows wardrobe department.
All the hosts made grand entrances, but Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer — as Doc Brown and Marty McFly from Back to the Future — probably had the best as the two revealed their looks by exiting a DeLorean.
