Al Roker: TV Guide News

Survey Says... Roker Could Be Ready to Feud | Today's News: Our Take | 4/3/2008

NBC and FremantleMedia North insist no deal has been signed, but Variety reports both sides have been in talks.Today cohost Meredith Vieira already holds down double duty as host of the syndicated Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and Roker has subbed for Vieira on the show from time to time.He also hosted the quiz show Remember This? on MSNBC in the mid-1990s. — J.R.

Janice Dickinson Calls Tyra "Fat" | Today's Top Videos | 12/11/2007
Looks like Janice Dickinson's big mouth has got her into a boatload of trouble yet again. During and interview with Al Roker yesterday on the Today Show, the self-proclaimed supermodel stuck up for Jennifer Love Hewitt stating she looked "healthy." But rather than leaving it at that, Dickinson definitely stuck her foot in her mouth when she continued on to say "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat." When Roker stopped her mid sentence to call her out on that comment, she unconvincingly explained she was kidding. See for yourself.Dickinson's publicist more than likely sat her down in an attempt to run some damage control because when she appeared later on The Star Jones Show, she managed to bring up her "stupid comment" towards the end of her interview, re-emphasizing that she was just kidding. Do you buy it? Or do you think she's just trying to cover her behind? read more

A conference call arranged by NBC so that reporters could talk with Today anchors Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Al Roker about their new "Ends of the Earth" feature was a lot more interesting than the norm. According to the New York Post, a potty-mouthed prankster infiltrated the ranks of press peeps on the line not once but twice and asked the hosts some seriously off-color questions. Afterward, Mitovich was given a bar of soap and told that he knew what to do with it. — Ben Katner read more
Dispatch from the Office Convention! | The Office | 10/29/2007
Just as fans of the original version of The Office learned about the existence of the industrial town of Slough, where the U.K. series was set, now everyone knows about Scranton, Pennsylvania, where employees of the U.S. version report to work.

Tiki Barber and Al Roker Talk About Today | TV Guide News Report | 10/23/2007
Tiki Barber may have broken the New York Giants’ all-time rushing record, but he’s finding his most rewarding breakthrough with his post-NFL career as a coanchor on Today and Football Night in America."It’s fabulous and fulfilling in many different ways," Barber said Oct. 22 at the 2007 Quill Awards in New York City. "I’m growing and learning as I go, just like my football career. You start out small and start seeing where your dreams go. That’s what I’m trying to do."Today, which recently added an additional fourth hour of programming, has gotten some competition from ABC’s Good Morning America, which is creeping up in the ratings. However, Today weatherman Al Roker is not worried about their position."I think there’s an ebb and a flow," Roker told TVGuide.com. "But at the end of the day, we’re still No. 1, so it’s good competition." — Reporting by Rob Moynihan read more
