Al Roker joined his Today Show co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb once again, as is tradition, to host the NBC special airing of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Despite a parade this year rocked by rain and a sudden cold spree across the nation, the event turned out to be just as jovial and joyful as always.
However, with live TV, you never know what could happen given the immense time crunches the hosts deal with, and Al, 70, took to social media to point out a tiny moment that may have gone unnoticed by fans.
He posted a snapshot of himself, Savannah and Hoda sitting during a moment from the special, although he appeared notably shorter than the other two. As it turns out, it was because his chair happened to be much lower than theirs, hence the odd illusion.
The situation was due to a quick mishap before returning to the air from commercial break, as Al wrote: "And for the record, I literally got into the chair :03 before the commercial break ended and we discovered the seat was too low."

As it turns out, the fans did notice, but all had a hilarious time with it as well, leaving comments on his post like: "First thing I said to my dad when I saw this was, 'I guess @alroker is sitting at the kids table this year'," and: "My boys and I were laughing so hard! True professional!" as well as: "We giggled everytime y'all came on the tv and you were so low. Hehe. Thanks for the fun."

Al previously spoke with HELLO! about Hoda's departure and what that entailed, saying: "You know, it would be more bitter than sweet if she was leaving, leaving," adding that she's "just transitioning into a different role."
