The Stunning Transformation Of Dylan Dreyer

Dylan Dreyer hit the big time in 2012 when she joined NBC's Weekend Today. "My first day on the Today show was September 14," she told Rutgers students the following year. "There I was on national television, sitting next to [anchor] Lester Holt, a broadcast icon. I was sweating, nervous, but it was just like all the other times — you just work on making the next show better than the current one."

That first day in Rockefeller Center came just weeks before her wedding — and just a month before Hurricane Sandy hit New York and her native New Jersey. During that storm, she worked 12-hour shifts in the newsroom day after day. "You have to do forecasting practically around the clock before the storm, then you have to talk non-stop during the storm, and you still can't stop after the storm," she explained during her talk.

Since joining Today, Dreyer has covered the polar vortex of 2014, Boston's record snowfall in 2015, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and she was on hand for NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, as noted by her NBC News bio.
