AL Roker has made others at Today laugh with his latest on-air blunder and attempt to backtrack.
Al, 68, recently mixed up his words on-air as fellow hosts Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb couldn’t help but react immediately off-camera.

The Today meteorologist gave his weather report on Thursday morning, explaining the “unusually strong” jet stream currently heading across the southern US.
As he finished up his report, he said: “We’re gonna get to…”
Immediately after, he caught his slip-up and followed with: “Oh, not quite, nope nope, so close, so close. Back to you guys.”
Al looked down and laughed as the camera switched to fellow Today anchors Craig, Savannah, and Hoda also followed up with a laugh.
Al seemed in good spirits following his recent knee replacement surgery, which he had undergone early last month.
AL’S BIG RETURN
Al only just made his grand return to the morning show on Tuesday, May 30, following a few weeks off to recover from his knee surgery.
The host had a knee replacement on May 9, and he and his wife Deborah kept fans updated on his recovery via social media.
Savannah and Hoda were excited as they celebrated their co-host’s return.
“Look who’s here,” Savannah said, while Hoda clapped and shouted: “Come on!”
Al smiled at the camera and waved, before Savannah shared: “Mr. Roker, we are so happy to have you back in our studio. You’ve got a brand-new knee.”
“I’ve got a new wheel. We’re getting there,” the Today meteorologist joked, moving his knee back and forth.
“Does it still have that new knee smell?” Savannah teasingly asked.
“Well,” Al put his hands up: “Don’t want to go there, but it’s all good.”
Al has since shared a behind-the-scenes look at how his body has been holding up with all the standing necessary for his morning show gig.
A HEALTH UPDATE
Upon his return to Today, Al could be seen using a cane to help with standing and walking after his knee replacement earlier this month.
Though he sits for some segments of the morning show, and the Third Hour spinoff he co-hosts, other segments require him to be upright.
Fans quickly became concerned and told the Today host on social media that they thought he was “standing up too long.”
To help ease some worry, Al admitted that he knew his knee still has some issues after surgery, and that he still needed to heal more.
The TV personality posted a photo of his suit-clad leg lifted up, with an ice pack secured around his knee.
A slew of wires and studio equipment could be seen in the background of the shot.
Al explained in the caption of the behind-the-scenes shot: “In between my on camera stuff on the @todayshow my leg gets elevated and I use an ice wrap to ice my knee.”
“Yes. That’s it,” the host’s wife Deborah Roberts commented, before begging him to “keep it slow!!”
