TODAY’s Al Roker has shocked his morning show coworkers after they saw him in an old pre-weight loss video.

Al appeared in a throwback clip during a special presentation on the Today Show about one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.

The hosts took a look back on the finale of sitcom Cheers on its 30th anniversary.

Actors Ted Danson, John Ratzenberger, George Wednt, and Jim Burrows joined Harry Smith to talk about the show.

“I was actually the designated reporter for all those NBC affiliates, so we started doing live shots,” Al said.

“Oh my God,” Hoda Kotb exclaimed as a video of Al from back in the day was displayed.

Al explained that he had been there for the Cheers finale, which shocked his co-stars.

They were surprised at Al’s different pre-weight loss look as well as what went down when he was working that early shift.

“Holy moly!” Hoda exclaimed.

“Wow, what a finale,” Al proclaimed of the classic show.

“It’ll never happen again,” Carson Daly said of the legendary television event.

‘COME ON!’

Meanwhile, Al called out his New York City neighbors in a new video of a very dirty street.

The Today host begged them to “clean up” as he ventured outside.

On Saturday morning, Al filmed a video and posted it to his Instagram page.

The 68-year-old stood in front of Saba’s Pizza and panned the camera to the right.

“These are not great neighbors because we always have a mess on the street every morning,” Al said.

The meteorologist zoomed in on the booth in the street, which had food, trash, and others items laying next to it.

“Debris, litter. Come on! Clean up your act!” Al ended.

He panned back over to the pizza place and then ended the video.

The TV star captioned the post: “Be good NYC neighbors. A lot of times, it’s even worse. Please keep your outdoor space clean!!! @sabaspizza @grillpointny.”

Al’s wife, Deborah Roberts, also commented: “It’s terribly unsightly and dirty!!”

‘SO SAD’

Al followers were also disgusted with how the street looked and commented on his post to express their feelings.

“That is so sad and unnecessary…” wrote one fan.

“Last time we were in the city we were appalled at its appearance. So sad!” said another.

A third added: “Call them out, Uncle Al!” while one commented, “Gross looking!”

“Erg… so disappointing,” wrote one last fan.

STORMS A-BREWING

This isn’t the first time this week Al has thrown shade.

He invited his Today show co-host Craig Melvin to join him for a special weather forecast on Friday, only to brutally mock him.

Craig, 44, made sure to clap right back at the weatherman during the insult-filled segment.

Al asked Craig to take his place and give one of the country-wide forecasts on the morning show.

He stood off to the side of the weather map screen and told his Today co-star: “So, here ya go!”

Despite the forecast information already being up on the electronic board, Craig’s first action as the temporary weatherman was to tap it.

Al quickly quipped: “No, you don’t have to hit it again! This is it.”

“Oh, sorry,” Craig responded before beginning to officially give the forecast.

Though there was a small mishap at the start, he was able to successfully give out the weather news for all over the country without any other issues.

Still, Al decided to tease his colleague with a bit of a dig at the end.

“Wow. And see? That’s why I brought Craig in here to just show it’s not that easy,” Al teased.

People could be heard laughing behind the camera.

Craig just smiled before clapping back: “I was actually thinking the exact opposite!”

Al jokingly gave a tense smile, while his co-host laughed and gave him a nice pat on the back to close out the segment.
