Scott began “Today” in 1980 and quickly became known for his ability to connect with audiences. He greets happy birthday to followers who had reached 100 – a trend that the network claims has only grown in popularity over time. His charisma had been on display during a 1983 broadcast when he dressed up as Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda in order to receive a $1,000 gift to the USO.

Scott remarked of his Carmen Miranda prank in a 1987 interview with the New York Times: “People thought I was a knucklehead for doing it. Well, I’ve always been a buffoon. That’s how I perform.”

He expressed his gratitude to his audience by saying: “I simply adore humans. Following that, a large number of speakers on the talk circuit depart. I spend a lot of time schmoozing. I’m as though I’m a dog. You simply open the door, and I go ‘rrrr, rrrr,’ before licking everyone’s face.”
