Closing out 2015 on the Thursday morning newscasts, NBC’s Today churned one of its most fawning pieces on President Obama as NBC News correspondent Ron Allen reviewed Obama’s top photos by White House photographer Pete Souza while hushed, soft piano music played in the background. 

Fill-in social media correspondent Sheinelle Jones introduced Allen’s piece by gushing that “[i]f a picture is worth a thousand words, White House photographer turns out about two million words a day, capturing pivotal events in history and more personal moments.”
