Hoda Kotb also backed Hager’s goal during the part and said she might even be able to be an extra. She wore a curly blonde wig and sang the words to “Jolene” for her demo video to try to look like Dolly Parton.
She laughed about how awful her wig was, but she was still excited about the chance.

Parton told everyone about the open call and told both experienced performers and people who have never been on stage before to show what they can do. A lot of test videos on social media have the hashtag #SearchForDolly in them.
