Al Roker: Daddy Dearest?
Al Roker, Today's perennially jolly meteorologist, reveals that there are moments when even he can lose his sense of humor. "I don't mind signing autographs," he tells TV Guide Online, "but when it gets in the way of being a dad, well, I wonder why people seem to forget I have a private life."
Case in point: Roker who has two girls from two separate marriages was recently at Miami International Airport when the unthinkable happened. "My two-and-a-half-year-old, Leila [with third wife, ABC correspondent Deborah Roberts], had a load in her pants," he remembers. "There was no place to change her in the bathroom, so I was trying to do it on a chair in a very crowded terminal waiting room. This woman came up and asked to take a picture with me. I said, 'Ma'am, can you just give me a moment while I finish changing this diaper?' She kind of huffed, 'Well, you seem so much nicer on TV.' I'm like, 'I'm halfway through a poopy diaper here.
