You get a chance to have your picture taken with George Clooney maaaaaaaaaybe once in your lifetime… if you're really, really lucky. But if the photo's a little grainy, why not shoot for the moon and request a do-over?

Hoda got her picture taken with the one-time Batman recently, and while she was completely and totally jazzed, she was upset that the picture ended up a little dark (KLG joked: "Don't you like being in the dark with George Clooney?"). So now Hoda's waging a campaign to get George to come to studio 1A for a retake, just like in elementary school.

"It would be really nice if George Clooney came in to the studio to retake the picture," said Hoda. She looked around eagerly, as if wondering: "Is he here?"

The ladies urged fans to tweet at George (who, sadly, is not on Twitter) and schemed about how to get him to the plaza.

"God knows that the man needs some publicity," said KLG, who vowed not to "manhandle" him if he graced them with his presence. But she would not make the same promise for Hoda.

Isn't KLG good friends with his cousin? She has talked about it before.

Ok, I've got to ask: who the hell is Hoda?

This is Hoda Kotb is the co anchor of the 4th hour of the Today Show on NBC with Kathie Lee Gifford. She also does some reporting for other NBC News programs.

I like Hoda. It's Kathie Lee that makes my hair stand on end. Kinda like the nails on chalkboard effect... If he would ever appear with them, Kathie Lee would dominate the conversation and poor Hoda would be left out in the cold.

Can't stand either one of them. Their show is just an excuse for both of them to start drinking at 10 in the morning.

Course I'm at work so it doesn't much matter to me what they do cause I'm never going to be around to watch it!
