She was clad in a sexy black dress with see-through mesh collar and sleeves.
Dylan paired her unique look with a sleek bob and light makeup.
Co-host Al Roker looked over at Dylan and said: “That dress is Fri-yay!”
Sheinelle Jones snapped her fingers and jokingly said “Dylan’s got a date tonight!”
Dylan scoffed as she replied “You’re being nice now, ’cause you all just bullied me right before the show!”
Al insisted: “We did not!”
Sheinelle asked: “Do you wanna show America your dress?”
A clearly flustered Dylan said: “I dressed a little differently today.”
The other hosts insisted they “loved” her dress.
Al said: “It’s just that it’s different from what you normally wear! It’s next-level!”
Craig Melvin asked: “What did Sheinelle say to you?”
Sheinelle replied: “I said I look like I’m going to the mall and she’s going to prom!”
The entire table cracked up over the comment.
Dylan was left stunned and silent briefly before Craig commented.
“It’s a beautiful dress,” he said.
The hosts moved on and got the show underway while Dylan was clearly blushing from the attention.
‘SO MUCH FUN’
Meanwhile, Dylan appeared on a popular podcast with someone she calls her “new best friend,” and fans are loving it.
The meteorologist had a long conversation on the podcast Off the Beat with Brian Baumgartner — a beloved American actor known for his character of Kevin Malone in the hit television series The Office.
Dylan took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to share a lengthy caption detailing her enjoyment of her time on Off the Beat.
“On this Valentine’s Day, I would like to dedicate this post to my new best friend @bbbaumgartner I had so much fun talking about all sorts of stuff on @offthebeat,” she wrote.
“Click the link in my bio to listen…and find out why he might very well think I’m someone else! Happy Valentine’s Day!!”
The Today co-host even added a snippet of the episode introduction written by the Off the Beat staff, where they also called Dylan and Brian “besties.”
“Brian’s newest bestie, NBC meteorologist and 3rd Hour of TODAY co-host Dylan Dreyer is on the podcast to teach Brian many things, like how to read a weather report, what Lake Effect Snow is, and her name (which maybe Brian had some trouble with when they first met),” it read.
Dylan also included three photos from her time on Off the Beat in the Instagram post.
The first included a side-by-side of Brian and Dylan with their headphones, smiling, alongside the title of the podcast and “EP. 58.”
The second included a quote from Dylan from the pair’s conversation that explained her fascination with the weather, giving fans more insight into why she does what she does.
“The science of how weather develops and why there are clouds and thunderstorms and hurricanes just makes so much sense in my brain[,] and I like being able to talk about it,” the meteorologist explained.
The third and final photo hilariously included a blurry image of Brian pinching his fingers near the camera, possibly to pretend-crush something he could see on-screen.
Fans flooded the comments section to support Dylan for making an appearance on Brian’s podcast.
“You go Dylan,” one person wrote.
“Fantastic Dylan,” another exclaimed.
Some even explained how they appreciated the meteorologist’s explanation for her career, as it could inspire a younger generation of female scientists.
“I love your quote, Dylan! I teach weather to middle school kids and hope to type it up and display it in my classroom. Female scientists represent!” a commenter noted.
Another fan had a sentimental and heartbreaking story about how Dylan even reminded them of a person in their personal life that had passed away.
“I think Brian is very lucky, I look forward to Dylan’s segment and she has a personality that just can’t be beat,” the user wrote.
“In a lot of ways she reminds me of my wife that I lost seven years ago to cancer. We were married four months short of sixty three years . Thank you Dylan 🌹.”
AL BETS ARE OFF
Al Roker has taken a swipe at Dylan Dreyer’s marriage on the Today show.
The beloved Today weatherman mocked the five-year age gap between Dylan, 41, and her husband Brian Fichera, 36.
Al let rip during a Third Hour segment with Dylan, Sheinelle Jones and show guest, Today’s digital editorial director Arianna Davis, on Monday.
The group was discussing Instagram captions they could use to celebrate their partners on Valentine’s Day.
They were shown a photo of Dylan with her producer husband Brian and their one-year-old son Rusty in a vineyard.
The suggested caption read: “Who needs flowers and chocolate when you’ve got wine.”
Al then turned to Dylan and quipped: “And the great thing about your relationship is that you’re an older vintage than Brian.”
Dylan looked taken aback and stared at him speechlessly, before saying: “Thank you, Al. Thank you for that.”
Arianna looked similarly dumbfounded and remarked: “Wow!”
Sheinelle tried to cover the awkward silence by saying, “Okay!” as Al moved on to the next topic.
Dylan couldn’t resist circling back, however, and said to him a few moments later: “Wait, you’re an older vintage!”
She was referring to the six-year age gap in Al’s marriage to Deborah Roberts, 62.
