A quip by Al Roker may have hit too close to home for NBC's Today show team.
Roker, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Tamron Hall were interviewing members of the U.S. women's rowing team on Today this week, when the tradition of a winning team throwing their coxswain into the water was discussed.
Quipped Roker: "Which is different than our tradition, which is you throw one of us under the bus, but that's another story."
Lauer and Guthrie then playfully scolded Roker.
Today dumped coanchor Ann Curry less than two months ago.
