Ann Curry as Darth Vader, Al Roker as Han Solo, Matt Lauer as Luke Skywalker, Meredith Vieira as Princess Leia, Hoda Kotb as Yoda, Kathie Lee as CP30 and Natalie Morales as Queen Amidala on the set of Today in New York (10/30)
Al Roker -- yes Al Roker -- ripped into Heidi and Spencer on the Today Show this morning, asking the couple if they were proud of their ridiculousbehavior on NBC's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. After the interview was over, Roker twittered:
Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for...being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we're at minute 11 of their 15.
For the first time in his life, Spencer took the high road and refused to get into a childish war of words with Roker. Oh wait, no he didn't. He acted exactly like you'd expect him to act. He told Ryan Seacrest:
"Was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by a guy named Matt Lauer. We were thrown off that the weatherman was even trying to talk to Speidi."
Heidi added:
"I was shocked at how rude he was. I was crying afterwards because I felt personally attacked because he was yelling and saying, 'Do you feel proud of this?' I felt like saying, 'Do you feel proud of what you're saying [to us]?' I'm a young woman and you’re coming at me so mean-spirited."
It's too bad the pre-stomach stapling Al Roker didn't conduct this interview. Old Al would have conducted the interview pretty much in the exact same way. But at the end . . . he would have eaten them. How cool would it have been to finally have Heidi and Spencer out of our hair because Al Roker fucking ate them? I would literally squeal in delight.
A prankster managed to get through on a conference call held by The Today Show to promote their new segment "The End of the Earth." Matt Lauer, Ann Curry, and Al Roker were all on hand but the caller targeted Curry first:
"Did you get your last name because your [bleep] smells like Mediterranean food?" One source said, "[the prankster] was immediately dropped from the call. But somehow, he got back on the call using another name." The lewd interloper then asked Lauer, "Can you [bleep] your own [bleep]?" With that, the conference call was shut down. (Source)
I've often wondered if Matt Lauer could [bleep] his own [bleep]. He just has that look about him. I knew a guy back in college who could [bleep] his own [bleep] AND [bleep] his own [bleep] at the same time! You should have seen it, it was pretty incredible. The best I've done is [bleep] this random guy at the bus stop's [bleep] but that was with fourteen beers in me.
