It's not every day you get to be on TV. For Manor Township resident Marty Molitoris, it was a remarkable experience.

Marty appeared on the fourth hour of the show "Today With Jenna and Sheinelle," which airs on NBC stations at 10 a.m. on weekdays. He was nominated, interviewed and selected for a Father's Day makeover segment.

"I don't use the term life-changing very often," he said. "But what I went through, and seeing how an individual can come in and impact my life and open my eyes to things that I was blind to before ... it was something I will never forget."

Marty's daughters, Claire and Charlotte, heard of the makeover challenge from their mother, Cathy, and decided to nominate Marty without telling him. He was quite surprised when his daughters told him that a producer from the "Today" show wanted to talk with him.

"I thought that they were just playing games with me," he said. "In talking to the producers of the segment after the fact, they said that (because of) my story and the love that they could feel through the written submission from both of my daughters, they just could not find it in their hearts to choose anybody else."

Over the past year, Marty has lost around 170 pounds, something that was inspired by a minor health scare. The issue, as his family saw it, was that he was still wearing the same grossly oversized graphic T-shirts that he was wearing when Claire and Charlotte were born.

"He's lost the weight, but he hasn't taken the time to update his outside to how he feels on the inside," Claire said on a recorded video that aired as part of the segment.

The change in body size has been a weight off Marty's back - no pun intended. He now describes himself as more energetic and able to do more things than before. Marty and Cathy have season passes to Hersheypark this year; Marty said that this year was the first time in over a decade that he was able to ride a rollercoaster.

The Molitoris family spent parts of three days in New York City for the segment. First, Marty spent time with celebrity stylist Sam Spector, whose clients include Daniel Radcliffe and Neil Patrick Harris. After selecting his new look, the rest of the family got to see it on the day that the segment was filmed.

The new outfit was a bright linen suit from Banana Republic, a polar opposite from what he would wear before his weight loss. Marty was all smiles when he walked out, posing for the cameras and his family.

The segment aired on June 19. A video of the segment can be found by searching for "Today Gives 2 Lucky Dads Style Makeovers: See the New Looks!" on "TODAY With Jenna and Sheinelle" on YouTube.

"I thought he looked amazing before, but now he's even more amazing," Cathy said on the segment.

"He looks so good," Charlotte added. "He just looks so happy and confident. I love it."

Cathy and Marty are set for a cruise this summer, celebrating their 31st wedding anniversary. But Marty did not wait until then to showcase his new look - his first day back to work following the excursion was June 23, and he donned his new suit.

The new look has opened a world of possibilities for Marty, but it has also taught him what his proper size is.

"I was always a little apprehensive of shopping, because nothing really ever fit me when I went into a store shopping," he said. "I'm more comfortable now going to those designs or those shades and colors, whereas before I would probably not have even approached them."

Along with being an unforgettable experience, the makeover and everything that preceded it has changed Marty's and his family's lives for the better.

"It's given me a new lease on life, for clothing and myself," he said.
