The former VP contender ended her co-hosting gig by revisiting an early interview with Matt Lauer—or rather, what she wore to a previous interview with the anchor. “I wasn’t going to go all Johnny Cash on you today … I said Todd, what the heck am I going to wear,” she said of choosing her black outfit.
