Four-year-old Kellen Sermiento's YouTube 'Glee' dance on 'Today'Combine a hit show like 'Glee,' an adorable toddler, and YouTube, and you've got the country's attention. Thursday on 'Today' (weekdays, 7am on NBC), Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb talked to Web correspondent Sara Hilary Haines about 4-year-old Kellen Sermiento, often called "Mini Warbler" for his YouTube performance of 'Teenage Dream' from 'Glee,' complete with a matching Warblers jacket. As of Thursday afternoon, the video had 1,711,928 views and was still climbing.
