Did anyone else witness Al Roker saying on tv that he sharted in the White House? I don't know why he would do that.

I honestly don't know how he could've possibly say that with a completely straight face. I also can't see how he didn't crawl into a hole after admitting that.

I really want to give this a big LMAO, but I really don't want to offend anyone, either. LMAO?

Believe me, this could be funny or tragic. Okay, the guy had a little accident, but why tell the entire world something like that?
On the Today show this morning, they asked him about the whole todo that was being made out of his announcement. He said he didn't understand why it's such a big deal.

Asked what that accident had meant to him, he answered that he would have to wath what he ate.

The whole thing is weird.

Al has always been such a dignified man.

He seems to be very popular. ??

He came to the theater I worked at and he was about my height which is 5'1". I swear, we looked eye to eye. And he had an expression on his face that he also just sharted right then.

Well, you know, that is a side effect of that surgery.

Did he lose a bet with somebody to make this announcement?

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/8/13 at 10:33pm

I know. He's hawking his book all over the place. I hear it's pretty raw. Good for him, he'll probably make tons (no pun intended) on it.

I haven't watched the Today Show in over a decade. He was a much more enjoyable person before the surgery. After, he had this attitude like he was one of the cool kids, but the joke was on him because there were no cool kids on the Today Show.

Oh no, now Al's on Watch what happens live! I just know they'll talk about the shart.

Jane,

You are cracking my shart up!

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/8/13 at 11:09pm

Haha, well they just discussed it. lol, the host said to Al, "ok, now for the shart heard round the world." HAHA Al said he never heard the word before.

Well I respect him now for talking about it since he explained it was one of the side effects of a gastric bypass surgery. (And he said it's an actual side effect of the bypass called "dumping" LOL)

The way he put it originally was "I was in the White House and I was alone, so I thought I'd pass a little gas. So I did, but a little something extra fell out".....

So eloquent.

I'd like to hear Judi Dench do the audio version of his book, just for that chapter.

Well, I will say this. The #1 rule of ANY post-bariatric surgery patient is NEVER TRUST A FART! Someone didn't tell Al.

I feel sorry for Al, being paraded around the media for this "Awww he is just like us, sharts and all" campaign to try to turn the tide on the public's distain for the show, it's failing ratings and the public's outcry on how they treated Anne Curry. I am sure Matt ( grossly over paid) Lauer is feeling the heat.

Matt treated Ann like shart.
