Al Roker's appearances on the Today Show may be all about information and awareness of the weather and our climate, but behind the scenes, he keeps it candid.
The beloved NBC meteorologist, 68, took to Instagram with a little peek into his life moments before going on the air with a glimpse of his office at NBC studios.
His space was packed to the brim with memorabilia accrued throughout his tenure on the show and his life in general, and you can catch a glimpse of the incredible space in the video below!
Al had filled his small office with oodles of personality, including several plants, posters from Broadway musicals, certificates, and a banner from his alma mater, SUNY Oswego.
He panned his camera to show off the photos of his family on the desk, framed shots of wife Deborah Roberts and his three children, Courtney, Leila, and Nick.

As an avid walker, it's no surprise that Al's office also included a treadmill, with the weatherman getting his steps in to the tune of Elton John music minutes before going on the air. In his room was also a small screen with a clock above, which showed his co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie in conversation before the show began.

Given Al's decades long association with the Today Show and NBC, it's no surprise he'd have his own personal space to relax (or walk it out) before the show, and the personal effects are a reflection of his time with the show.
