Vieira continued as host of "Millionaire" while appearing on "Today". As part of her contract with "Millionaire", Vieira agreed not to appear on "Today" during hours that would conflict with the airing of the game show on competing stations. As a result, she rarely appeared on the third or fourth hours of "Today". Her first appearance during the third hour came on June 25, 2008, for ""Today" Throws a Wedding". She also appeared during the entire third hour during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the Barack Obama inauguration on January 20, 2009.
