‘Today’ Shocked Al Roker Learns Proper Hygiene From Guest

The Today Show host Al Roker was shocked after learning proper hygiene from a guest segment on the show.

Have you ever learned that you’ve been doing something wrong your whole life? That’s what Today‘s Al Roker experienced this week. A segment on health schooled the 68-year-old on proper hygiene. And a shocked Al realized he’s been doing one thing wrong his entire life. Here’s what he learned that left the NBC host flabbergasted.

It’s Been A Week Of Milestones For Al

This week has been a week chock full of milestones for Al Roker.

First, he announced that his oldest daughter Courtney and her husband Wes welcomed their first baby together. That means that Al is a grandpa for the first time. And yesterday, Al acknowledged that his youngest child Nick has turned 21.

But it was a segment on The Today Show that perhaps brought Al the biggest shock of the week. During Wednesday’s Today Show, the hosts discussed the best way to approach hygiene.

Al Roker Shocked After Learning Proper Hygiene From Today Show  Segment

Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer, Sheinelle Jones, and Shop Today’s editorial director, Adrianna Brach dove into the topic. During the Today 3rd Hour segment, Adrianna quizzed her co-hosts on their thoughts about certain hygiene practices. When she asked what the co-hosts thought dermatologists recommended about how frequently people should shower, the show took a surprising turn. Dylan guessed, “I bet they’re gonna say C.” C is the option for “five times a day.” Sheinelle said that she bet dermatologists would say people should shower every day. However, she added, “I know I know it’s gonna be C.” Al chimed in with his thoughts, saying, “I don’t care what they say, I’m going to say A, every day.”

Adrianna shared that dermatologists feel differently, saying, “The consensus is two to three times per week.” The Shop Today‘s director noted that it does depend on the person. Adrianna then pointed out Al Roker‘s shocked expression, “I’m looking at Al’s face, like, ‘What is this?’” Laughing, she added that the dermatologists do note that it depends on, “the person, your lifestyle, your skin type…” An amused Al interjected, “Lifestyle?!” He continued, “Not if you come in contact with other people!”

The rest of the hosts seemed to agree, pointing out that “adults smell” and two to three times a week doesn’t seem adequate.

Do you think showering two to three times a week is really adequate? Or do you agree with Al Roker that every day is the way to go? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. And catch the whole Today Show crew on NBC on weekdays at 7 AM EST.
