Today's Al Roker was off on Monday's episode of the NBC daytime show - and it meant that his co-star had all the more work to do!
The beloved meteorologist took the day off to celebrate his birthday, which was on August 20, and Dylan Dreyer stepped into his shoes.
The 41-year-old - who is also a meteorologist on the show - filled in for Al doing the weather reports at the start of the program. "You've been covering for him, it's been a busy morning!"
Craig Melvin said to Dylan, as Sheinelle Jones chimed in: "Holding it down!"
Dylan, of course, didn't mind at all, and smiled as she continued to discuss the current weather conditions of the day.
