Al Roker certainly knows how to cause a stir!
The Today Show star is known for his quick wit and tongue-in-cheek comments, and hilariously left his co-stars baffled with his latest quip on Monday's Third Hour.
The NBC star was talking about the concept of celebrating friendship anniversaries, which resulted in anchors Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer discussing their thoughts on the idea.
Al then went on to reveal that he and his wife Deborah Roberts had celebrated their anniversary this year by combining it with a trip away with their friends.
Craig said to Al: "You and Deborah do a really good job at celebrating friendship all of the time," to which he responded: "That's because she doesn't really like me!" "Stop it! Craig replied.

Al and Deborah have been married since 1995 and celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary in September.

Al and Courtney even wrote a cookbook together earlier in the year called Al Roker's Recipes To Live By.

Courtney welcomed Sky with her husband Wesley in July 2023 and earlier this year she celebrated her first birthday.

Deborah wrote: "This little beauty is now 1! Happy birthday dear Sky pie! You’re a blessing to us all," while Al reminisced on becoming a grandpa with a montage of photos and a message that read: "At 11:41am a year ago today, I got to fall@in love all over again in a very special way. Thanks @ouichefroker and @thatteacherwhodjs for the gift of this special girl, Sky."

When she was born, Al couldn't get over the emotions and gushed to his fellow Today hosts during an emotional conversation. "It is magical, it really is," Al said at the time.
"The thing is, everyone tells you it's going to be 'this thing' and you don't know; it's like when they tell you about having your first child. "And then to hold this little girl, knowing almost 35 years ago I held her mom?
"And here she is, 5 lbs., 15 oz. 19 inches long and she's just perfect. She sleeps for four hours, wakes up, goes to the bathroom, sleeps another four. We're on the same schedule!"
