Whoops! Al Roker overslept Tuesday morning and missed his early show, “Wake Up with Al” on The Weather Channel.
"After 39 years, it happened. I overslept and missed a show. Missed #WUWA. But will be on time for @today," Roker tweeted at 5:41 AM.
What happened? He told Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer and Natalie Morales that his alarm never went off.
"My phone didn't go off and somebody said, 'What's your backup?' and I said, 'For 39 years I didn't need one.'”
