Darius Rucker Trades in Guitar for Anchor Desk on “Today Show”

Darius Rucker turned in his guitar for the anchor desk this morning (Jan. 25) when he took a turn as co-host of the Today Show. Don’t worry, it was just for the day.

The “Wagon Wheel” singer had the opportunity to sit at the desk and be a part of the interview with former member of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland, who is currently starring in the Lifetime movie, “Love by the 10th Date.”

“This isn’t your first acting gig,” Darius began his question for Kelly. “You starred as Luscious Lions mentally ill mother on Empire—that was awesome. Are you enjoying this more than music or are you just doing it?”

Darius, decked out in coat and time, looked right at home sitting down with veteran hosts Tamron Hall and Al Roker. If this music thing doesn’t work out for Darius, he can always fall back on his interview skills.

Check out Darius’ stint as co-host on the Today Show.
