'Wake Up with Al?' Not today. Mornings are hard for Al Roker

We're shocked! MT @alroker After 39 years, it happened. I overslept and missed a show. Missed #WUWA. But will be on time for @todayshow

Wait, hold on. Al Roker gets to sleep through “Wake Up with Al” and we have to mainline coffee to gather his tweets? What happened to our fair share of sleeping in?

Morning, Sleepyhead. Overslept and missed #wuwa Here on time for TODAY https://t.co/dKqmHjGGIy

Al, the people have questions and will not be denied:

But if it was another bathroom mishap, no need to go into details. We’re fine. No, really, we’re fine.

Yep, sharting at the White House would still be worse. https://t.co/RkMk1ciKvJ

Update:

The “Today” team isn’t alone in trying to milk Roker’s wake-up woes. McDonald’s got in on the action.
