Carson, 50, delivered Today’s first story about the recent casting announcement for the upcoming Superman: Legacy film.
The DC movie – scheduled to be released in 2025 – will star David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as the leads.
Al, 68, found humor in the Superman actor’s last name and joked: “His cousin is Meatswet.”
His colleagues, Hoda, 58, Craig Melvin, 44, and Sheinelle Jones, 45, didn’t seem amused by Al’s comment as they barely cracked a smile.
Hoda began to say: “You know what?” with a disgusted look on her face, but Carson continued with his next story.
He followed with a sweet video of the singer, Lizzo, in tears after hearing her name-dropped in Beyonce’s song, Break My Soul.
The Truth Hurts singer got emotional while in the audience of a Beyonce concert, where the performer mentioned her name.
Lizzo posted the clip on Instagram and revealed that Beyonce’s music got her through some tough times during her childhood, as she would “cry myself to sleep because of bullies.”
The Today hosts gushed over the full-circle moment until Al’s joke was mentioned once again.
“Your Meatswets didn’t even ruin that moment,” Carson said to Al, who was still laughing over his remark.
Hoda then asked the meteorologist: “Why did you do that?” to which he responded: “Why did I do that? I don’t know.”
He then added: “Because I can. Cornswet. Meatswet.”
Craig started laughing hysterically and clapping his hands, while Carson ignored Al’s banter and went on with the segment.
BIG SURPRISE
Hoda and Al recently joined forces for a segment outside of the studio.
In the clip, the duo was being driven around the streets of New York to give fans a big surprise.
Hoda explained: “We are going to say thank you to our lovely nurses.
“It’s going to be an awesome surprise.”
In a separate car, Al continued: “Hey, everybody!
“It’s Nurses Appreciation Week! We love nurses!”
He added: “We’re hitting the road to celebrate some heroes. You do not want to miss this!”
MEDICAL SCARES
Both Al and Hoda recently dealt with some medical scares in their family, with Hoda’s three-year-old daughter, Hope, landing in the Intensive Care Unit.
The TV personality was away from her seat at Today for nearly three weeks to care for her daughter, who she’s since said is doing much better.
Meanwhile, Al underwent knee replacement surgery last month, leaving him out of work for some time.
Also, in November, the meteorologist was hospitalized for blood clots in his lungs and legs that forced him to miss his annual reporting duties on Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
