What happened on the Today Show?

During the Thursday, August 4 broadcast of Today, Al Roker shared an NSFW comment. The hosts discussed a wholesome about the birth of Fiona the Hippo’s little sister. Savannah explained that her mother, Bibi, is 23 years old, while her father Tucker is only 19 years old.

One of the hosts shared, “She was on birth control, this was unexpected!” Al Roker jumped into the conversation with his joke.

“I think Kenny Sanders put in the IUD,” Al referred to the Today co-host. His fellow co-hosts looked at him in shock. Savannah and Hoda were in a state of confusion. The guys had a good laugh about the joke.

“Actually though, they put the birth control on a slice of bread,” Savannah corrected him.

Al Roker is known for his outlandish behavior. You never know what he’s going to say on live television, which makes him one of a kind. This shocking moment comes after he shared the details of his 45-pound weight loss.

Al Roker’s massive weight loss

Back in June, Al Roker talked about his massive weight loss. He revealed that he lost “about 45 pounds in the last several months.” The news anchor wanted to change his lifestyle. Al cut out carbs and started walking more. He’s not into intense workouts.

“Exercise, and not extreme exercise, improve, I think your mental health,” Al Roker admitted. “Combined with a low-carb diet, I’ve lost about 45 pounds. I do about 100 grams of carbs a day and I walk.”

The veteran’s diet and exercise plan is that simple. Back in March, Al Roker celebrated the 20th anniversary of his gastric bypass surgery. He tried on his old jeans on live television. Because of that surgery, he lost 100 pounds and bought a whole new wardrobe. But, he knew he had to keep the jeans he used to fit in when he was at his heaviest.

Al Roker held up the jeans in front of his body. He is now half their size. Al tried to put on the jeans, but they fell off him. He even shared photos of his weight loss on his Instagram page.

At the time, he got a lot of support from his fellow Today hosts. Savannah wrote, “You are so inspiring. Every day. Every minute.” Carson Daly added, “You’re the Yoda to my Skywalker Uncle All!” The Hoda & Jenna Instagram account commented, “No one better than our pal, Al.”
