Al Roker and Hoda Kotb have ‘Lady and the Tramp’ moment on ‘Today’ show
- last year
Al Roker and Hoda Kotb had a “Lady and the Tramp” moment on the “Today” show when they shared a PayDay candy bar.
Roker, who admitted that the unwrapped candy bar didn’t look so appealing to him despite being his favorite snack, asked Twitter users if they wanted to watch him take a bite out of the sweet treat on Wednesday’s episode of the NBC show.
Viewers flocked to social media and voted for Roker to eat the candy bar on live TV.
“We heard y’all: Al is eating the PayDay — and sharing it with @hodakotb ,” the “Today” show tweeted.
Roker accepted the challenge and then turned to Kotb, asking, “Here, would you help me?” to which she obliged.
“Kind of a ‘Lady and the Tramp’ [moment],” Roker joked while holding the PayDay bar up for him and his co-star.
That’s when Roker, 68, and Kotb, 58, proceeded to bite into separate ends of the peanut-y dessert.
Mmmmm,” they both said, while their co-star Craig Melvin joked, “And there’s the meme, there’s the meme.”
Earlier in the segment, NBC correspondent Sam Brock explained how Americans are snacking more than ever with rates significantly rising during the pandemic.
Kotb then revealed that her favorite snack is Ruffles chips with “a lot” of French onion dip.
Meanwhile, Roker opted for the caramel-covered candy bar: a surprising choice considering his strict Keto diet plan.
The weatherman, who lost 100 pounds after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2002, famously shed another 45 pounds on the low-carb high-fat diet back in 2019 and has seemingly been able to maintain his slimmed-down physique.
