*Al Roker appeared to take a dig at his own “Today” show co-host and producers on live television Thursday for the way they treated former co-host Ann Curry.

Roker, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Tamron Hall were wrapping up an interview with members of the U.S. women’s rowing team when the tradition of a winning team throwing their coxswain into the water was discussed.
Lauer mentioned how the tradition in New York is to throw her into the Hudson River.
Quipped Roker: “Which is different than our tradition, which is you throw one of us under the bus, but that’s another story.”
Lauer and Guthrie then playfully scolded Roker.
“Today” fired co-anchor Ann Curry less than two months ago amid a ratings slump.
OK Al, I got to give you props for representing. But you got to watch your back, dawg.
Them crackas wouldn’t give a fuck about your years of dedicated service. If they did it to Ann, they will do it anyone of us.
True. And if Al had been dumped Ann wouldn’t have said a damn thing in support of him.
I know that’s right, I used to love matt yeeeeeears ago but, even Al, they got too full of themselves
Dang Mr Roker you going hard there!! lol!!! as Reds stated if they got rid of Ann they can do the same to Al and rumor has it that Matt had a hand in Ann’s departure.
Go Al. I don’t think the Today bosses wanna burn anymore bridges than they already have. I doubt they even wanna touch you. You’re good.
Ann was super boring, don’t miss her at all.
Does anyone remember that Chappelle’s Show skit where Al Roker stopped talking in his TV voice and said his real name was Alton Sims, a skrate-up gangsta, BITCH!
