Posted May 25th 2011 at 08:25 AM by AOL TV Editors

Meredith Vieira had a tough time on 'The Tonight Show.' First, she had to deal with a video prank of sorts from Matt Lauer. In it, he apparently laid out her morning routine, which involved grunting from the bathroom that she was changing, just before a toilet flushed.

Posted Feb 25th 2011 at 05:30 AM by AOL TV Editors
