I suppose. All they said thus far is they have a "big announcement" to make.

Meredith is the 3rd cohost of A&B! Or, Steph is moving to TODAY! JK. I don't know. Has there been an announcement yet?

I wish I would've recorded this hour...I figured they would just re-air the same thing next hour. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up on TWC's BlueBox, though.

Yeah guys, what was the big announcement?  :unsure:

What was it about?
I'm gonna just guess and say it's likely about a TWC/NBC partnership,or at least about the TWC buyout.

Yeah, that's it. Remember, the general viewership doesn't know yet.

That's clearly a good guess.  :P :lol:

You mean to tell me you don't know yet Tyler?  :o :P

That's exactly why I said that. People outside of our forums or the general business world likely don't know about the TWC buyout. I'm eager to see the Roker segment...

I've got it recorded, but to keep the quality up there, the file is quite large, so it will take a while to upload.

I've got the second hour in HD and the first one in SD.
Title: Re: Al Roker on A&B
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 08, 2008, 10:22:19 PM
I'd like to see it, and probably even put it on the site if you guys would like to post it.  :sunglasses:

Here is the first hour: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xgtfW8vmAzw

My tape ran out right at 8 PM ET, so I didn't get to see the second hour.

Al is not from Dallas, he is from San Antonio :yes:

Thanks for posting, Billy

Conan O'Brien poked fun on NBCU buying out TWC (Conan likes making fun of TWC, as he did a segment showing Kristina Abernathy a few years back making fun of the animated rain calling it stattic or something along those lines, and back in 2005 with the branding change, saying his didn't work out "Get up and look out the window you lazy b*stards".

Well, he showed a VERY desterbing "parody" if you can call it that, about Hurricane Bertha, and 2 men were part of the segment..and it was kind of sexual.. about the eye.  I'll stop there.  I'm sure you can find it on NBC's channel for Connan.

Few years ago, Conan also did a parody of an infomercial selling the entire first season of TWC on DVD.  Something like a 5000 box DVD set with all the fronts, satellite images, radar of every day from their first season.  If only TWC really did sell a "best of TWC" set...

I think it was really cool to see Al Roker on The Weather Channel. You can tell he gets along VERY nicely with Stephanie and Mike.  And who wouldn't want to hug Stephanie either!

I don't know if he still does, but Roker had been living in Westchester County since he was at WNBC-TV. Trying to remember if his car accident many years ago was here or not.

I agree. Al Roker would be a great addition, IMO. I'd like to see how he would go with Dave or Adam. :P

Hmm, Al Roker on TWC, that'd be nice.  I'd watch haha.  Al Roker must be RICH RICH RICH.. doesn't he have a couple shows on Food Network, then he's got TODAY, and that new prime time Family Feud.  Sheesh.

Did they say exactly why he was in ATL yesterday?

They probably sent him down to Atlanta to promote/announce the whole "NBC buys TWC" thing.
