Dylan Dreyer reassured fans who expressed concern for the star after she took a tumble behind the scenes of Monday's Today Show.
In a video shared to Instagram by her co-star Al Roker, the meteorologist was filmed practicing a trick with an actor dog named Elsa from the 2023 movie, Strays.
The stunt didn't go exactly as planned, as you can see from the video below.
Fans took to the comments section to express their concern for the 42-year-old, with one person writing: "Hope she's ok. She was more worried about Elsa than herself," while another added: "Omg! Was she ok??? She's such a good sport!! Love Dylan."

At the beginning of Tuesday's Third Hour, which was hosted by Al, Dylan and Sheinelle Jones, the trio addressed the backstage blunder.
Reassuring fans, Al said: "First of all, everybody can see you are ok."

Al continued: "We had the dogs from the Universal Pictures movie, Strays, here in the studio. Dylan did a nice trick with Elsa there," prompting a video of the successful trick to play on the screen.
"That's what you saw at home on the air but what you didn't know at the time is that in rehearsal it didn't go quite as smoothly," he continued. "During the commercial break, Elsa jumps up on Dylan and Dylan protected Elsa."

Dylan is a popular host on the current affairs show, which is clear from her 788K Instagram followers. The mom-of-three regularly keeps her fans up to date with her life away from the Today studios.

The anchor recently enjoyed a summer vacation with her husband Brian Fichera - along with their three sons Calvin, six, Oliver, three, and Rusty, one. However, the trip didn't exactly go as planned as the family's luggage was lost in Amsterdam during a stopover on the way to Italy.
Ever the optimist, Dylan took it in her stride and revealed how glad she was to be making memories with family and friends. "I've learned on Day 5 without luggage and traveling with my family that…LITERALLY NO ONE CARES WHAT I’M WEARING!" she wrote on Instagram. "My sister-in-law @nmredding and I are wearing my MIL’s clothes, I wear Calvin’s PJs to bed, and we have fun together all day long. I’ve never felt more free (although this doesn’t get you off the hook @delta and @klm…I really liked the clothes I packed and I could really use a new pair of contacts!!) In the meantime, we’ll continue to make memories!!"
Fans were quick to praise the star for her positive outlook, with one person writing: "You're amazing. You can see the bright side of any bad situation. And the memories you're making - priceless," while another added: "You are amazing to just go with the flow cuz there's nothing you can do. Keep making great memories."
