Tripping Over His Words On The Today Show
Tuesday’s show isn’t the first where Al Roker seemed to be flustered on air. Recently, he went down to Orlando, Fla., to give viewers a “first look” at the new Minion Land at Universal Studios.

“Hey guys!” he greeted the audience at home. “It’s only fitting that I’m surrounded by my Minion buddies. Because we’re here in the brand new Minion Land!”
Al Roker went on to talk more about Minion Land and what it’s all about. “Gru’s mischievous henchmen,” he started before correcting himself. It seemed like it occurred to Roker that not all the minions might be men.
“Or henchpeople,” he said to the camera awkwardly, trying to make the statement more inclusive. “They’ve taken over the main drag here.”
Al Roker Embarrassed By Erin Andrews’ Comments
Erin Andrews was a guest on Today on Tuesday. The Fox sportscaster joined Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie to discuss a number of topics, including her struggle with infertility and her role in bringing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift together.
Towards the end of the interview with Hoda and Savannah, Erin Andrews was surprised to find out that Al Roker was also on the set. Hoda Kotb mentioned that Al needed some assistance with the day’s weather forecast and urged Erin to join him.
Erin was visibly excited about getting to help the Today forecaster. She rushed over to join Al Roker, who asked her, “Is it true that you told Seth Meyers that if you didn’t do sports, you’d want to do weather?”
After confirming that was true, Erin Andrews went on to give a mock weather forecast. “I’m sweating,” she confessed to Al. “You’re my Taylor Swift.”

Al seemed to be a bit confused, asking her to clarify, “I’m you’re Taylor Swift?” Erin admitted that she was “freaking out” meeting him. The Today host then asked if she wanted a hug, and she quickly took him up on the offer.
As she hugged him, she sang the words to Taylor Swift’s Karma Is My Boyfriend. Then she laughed and said, “Al Roker’s my boyfriend.” Al seemed to be shocked before they headed into a commercial break, saying, “Whoa! You heard it here first.”
Of course, Al Roker’s wife is ABC’s Deborah Roberts. However, that didn’t stop Al from getting a little flustered on air about Erin Andrews’ celebrity crush.
