On Monday morning’s episode of the Today Show, Hoda and Savannah discussed the heat wave that’s been setting new temperature records.
Over the weekend, the heat set over 50 new high-temperature records.
Hoda described the hot weather had 30 million people across 11 states under heat alerts.
As the heat continues to settle in, it increases the threat of heat-related emergencies.
After chatting about the heat, Hoda, 58, and Savannah, 51, consulted Al.
“It’s gonna be expanding,” Al said of the heat.
He noted some of the locations that had their hottest temperatures ever in July.
“As you can see, it’s not going away,” he cautioned.
“It’s not going away anytime soon, at least right on through the weekend,” he reiterated.
The meteorologist then revealed a map full of high temperatures that would be continuing throughout the week.
NOT AL-RIGHT
All this comes after Al was accused of making an “insensitive” comment toward his co-host, Dylan Dreyer.
On Saturday, Dylan, 41, posted a photo to Instagram of her, her husband, Brian Fichera, and their three sons, Russell, Oliver, and Calvin.
They were all sitting on a bench in the airport, smiling, despite some bad news.
“Family vacation! Little did we know these would be the clothes for the whole trip because our luggage is lost in Amsterdam,” Dylan captioned the post.
“We’re not in Amsterdam. All that work packing…”
Dylan wore pants, white sneakers, a long-sleeve shirt with a vest over it, and a sunhat.
‘SO INSENSITIVE’
Many of Dylan’s friends, family, followers, and co-hosts commented on her post.
“Oh my goodness!” Today host Sheinelle Jones said.
However, Al left a comment that didn’t sit right with a fan.
At first he commented: “Oh wow,” and then added, “We never check. Even when the kids were little.”
A fan was quick to reply to him: “I think that was insensitive to say to your ‘friend’ who’s in a rough place.”
“You are not allowed to carry too much on a plane,” pointed out another person.
However, most of Dylan’s followers agreed with Al, and said they only take carry-ons.
MAKING TROUB-AL
Just a few days before Dylan headed off to vacation, Al called her out for being a “cheapster.”
He also shaded his co-host Craig Melvin during an Instagram live, just before filming for that day’s show began.
In the video, Al filled his social media followers in on secrets from behind the scenes of the daytime TV show.
He filmed the crew as they busily moved around the New York set, moving furniture, filling glasses, and adjusting cameras.
Al spoke to a stage manager, and pointed out that the lottery was coming up soon.
Confirming that the next draw was on Wednesday, Al called out his co-hosts Dylan and Craig, 44, in one fell swoop.
He said: “We’ve got to hit Dylan up. Dylan, of course, will not have the money. Dylan – while we all know that Craig’s cheap – Dylan is the secret cheapster.”
After Dylan arrived on set just one minute before filming started, Al softened the blow by complimenting her yellow dress, exclaiming: “Bringing the sunshine!”
