NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ weatherman Al Roker recently apologized to his co-star Dylan Dreyer for interrupting her during a segment on-air.
During a recent episode of ‘Today’, hosts Roker, Dreyer, Craig Melvin, and Sheinelle Jones welcomed Dr Samantha Boardman on Wellness Wednesday to discuss the “power of positivity while aging.”
While the hosts were discussing, Roker had to say “sorry” as he gave an abrupt update on his future with the morning show.
This happened after Roker went missing from the NBC show as he indulged himself in other business adventures.
While his co-stars took their normal spots on ‘Today 3rd Hour’, Roker was replaced by Dreyer who later reported his weather segment.

Sheinelle Jones, Al Roker, Craig Melvin, and Dylan Dreyer engaged in a discussion with the psychiatrist on the significance of maintaining a positive attitude toward aging, emphasizing how it can enhance one's quality of life and overall life expectancy.
Towards the end of the discussion, Roker added, “What helps people, especially if you enjoy your job, unlike our parents who, you know, got out at sixty-five--"
"Couldn't wait to retire,” intervened Dreyer. He continued, "You know, staying in your job," the cherished weatherman added before turning to his fellow meteorologist and said, “So sorry Dylan.”
While Melvin and Jones burst into laughter at a friendly jab, the former asked Dreyer, “You want him to live long don't cha?"
Dreyer replied, “I do,” and Roker quickly fired back, “Just not here,” as he thanked the doctor for joining them.
