Meredith Vieira Black Eye: Host Revealed Painful-Looking Bruise On ‘Today’ (VIDEO)

Meredith Vieira returned to the "Today" show this morning to help Hoda Kotb host the fourth hour of the program. She opened the show wearing a pair of huge black sunglasses, but she had a good reason for them: after slowly removing them, Vieira revealed a nasty and painful-looking black eye. "If you're going to laugh, I'm not going to tell you [how I got it]," she warned Kotb during the segment.

"I had to go to the bathroom and I didn't put the light on. And to get to the bathroom, you go through a little dressing room. And I had just come back from Los Angeles... and the suitcase is black, and the room is black, it's dark," she said, according to Us Weekly. The 61-year-old then explained she hit her head on a table.
