Matt Lauer and Al Roker are definitely committed to promoting men's health.

(Exclusive)The Today mainstays will undergo prostate exams -- live and on camera -- during Thursday's episode of the NBC show. It's part of a monthlong campaign raising awareness of men's health issues.

In 2000, Katie Couric memorably underwent a colonoscopy on Today to encourage screenings after the 1998 death of her husband from colon cancer. The on-air procedure brought in big ratings, and health care professionals credited Couric's example with contributing to a 20 percent spike in colonoscopies in the ensuing years.

LOL...and this does what? Convinces other men to go get an exam because Al Roker is getting one? WTH? Are we back in high school where “ALL THE POPULAR KIDS ARE DOING IT”?

If they want to boost their ratings with the Hollywood crowd they should use the word “fisting” instead of “prostate exam.”

For those two it isn’t a prostate exam. It is exploratory brain surgery.

Why on earth would Matt Lauer get a prostate exam? Did he see something suspicious while looking around with his head up his a$$?

I’ll admit that this is a freebie for any comedian who wants to use it.

“Matt Lauer, Al Roker Give Each Other Prostate Exams on ‘Today’.”

Well, Katie Couric already give herself a colonoscopy on the air, and it’s hard to follow an act like that.

This raises the question: Why are these people so utterly fascinated by their own rectums?
