An Intimate Embrace
BREAKING: We interrupt our coverage of Hurricane Frances to bring you some morning-TV-show banter. While reporting from a Florida marina for the Weather Channel, Mike Seidel welcomes guest host Al Roker, who clings to Seidel in the 70-m.p.h. winds as the duo trade such jibes as, "I'm glad you showered this morning, Al" and this tongue-in-cheek exchange about the Marina club's previously scheduled entertainment: "Great for you to stop by ... We're going to stick it out for that band," to which Roker replies, "I see you've got Sunday jazz from 4-10 here." Best moment: a synchronized "Whoa!" as a sudden gust brings Seidel to his knees. But we all know it takes a lot more than that to bring down Al Roker.
