While touring the set of the show and introducing viewers to behind-the-scene staff, Al took the opportunity to reveal Brian Fichera’s fashion choices.
Brian is the husband of Third Hour co-host Dylan Dreyer who regularly hosts alongside Al.
The video on Al’s Instagram account, was filmed with just six minutes until the show went to air.
He panned to the anchor desk and said, “there’s Lester Holt getting ready and the crew getting set.”
Roker playfully told viewers: “That’s the fish over there, he happens to be married to Dylan Dreyer and he’s wearing a vest.
“That’s actually one of his quieter vests today, normally they are colors that…well let’s just say most men don’t wear. Only kidding.”
Al then laughs as Brian retorted by clapping back at his wife’s co-host.
Followers of Al praised the presenter for his humor with some saying that he “brightens” their day.
One wrote: “You are truly a bright spot in my day. So grateful for what you do & your humor is just what I need.”
Another added: “So funny Al. Love watching you, but isn’t this a long day for you!
“Take it easy, a long weekend isn’t enough. Take care.”
A number of comments urged the 68-year-old weatherman to rest with one saying: “Burning the midnight oil Al.
“You need to take it easy.”
It comes as the beloved Today Show co-host has worked night and day for a number of shows despite his recent health struggles.
Over the holidays, Al was hospitalized twice for blood clots and internal bleeding.
Al’s health scare saw him off air for two months while he recovered.
Speaking on Today, he opened up about his condition, including the revelation that he underwent a gruelling seven-hour surgery to “correct a bunch of internal stuff.”
He said: “Look, I had two complicating things. I had blood clots, which they think came up after I had COVID in September.
“And then I had this internal bleeding going on, I lost half my blood. They were trying to figure out where it was.”
Speaking on Today alongside his wife Deborah Roberts, he opened up about his condition, including the revelation that he underwent a gruelling seven-hour surgery to “correct a bunch of internal stuff.”
He said: “Look, I had two complicating things. I had blood clots, which they think came up after I had COVID in September.
“And then I had this internal bleeding going on, I lost half my blood. They were trying to figure out where it was.”
He also joked that he “went in for one operation” and “got four for free”.
His wife added: “Al was a very, very, very sick man … most people didn’t know that.
“Two doctors led this brilliant team — it was a team — who had to figure out what was happening. He was a medical mystery for a couple of weeks. And it was the must tumultuous, frightening journey we have been on.
“It’s not lost on us that this is a major, major thing for Al to be here.”
It comes as Deborah, 62, announced a brief break from social media in order to “recharge.”
