ooohhh, a little cheese to go with your whine, Al?

sounds like more than a little sour grapes to me....

(PageSix) -- The usually good-natured "Today" show weatherman Al Roker took some unexpected shots at rival "Good Morning America" yesterday. Yesterday, while Roker was being interviewed by "Access Holly-wood" in Asbury Park after Bruce Springsteen's "Today" show concert, correspondent Billy Bush said he saw a sign reading: "Will wrestle Al Roker for four tickets." "Yes," said Roker, "unfortunately that was Diane Sawyer. Those lousy rats' ... patooties over at 'GMA,' they tried to scoop us by putting on Alfred E. Newman, I mean, Ted Koppel, interviewing The Boss. Ted was trying to look hip, he was wearing a t-shirt. It's like seeing your grandmother wearing a thong, it's just something you don't want to see." Roker then did his best impersonation of Koppel: " 'Well, you know, Diane, I really wasn't a fan of the fellow, but now that I've met him, I think he's a ripping good lad.'” Roker's remarks aired on last night's "Access Hollywood." The zingers were perhaps in re-taliation for getting shut out by "GMA" on an exclusive live interview with one of the Pennsylvania miners who had been trapped underground for 77 hours. So what was "GMA's" response to Roker's jibes? "We're de-lighted Al's been closely watching the show," said a "GMA" spokeswoman.

LOL, he sounds a little bitter about GMA, doesn't he?

 

[Beanie]

LOL! I love GMA's response!! What a great comeback for them! Definitely sounds like sour grapes!!

 

[Doctor P]

LOL.

 

[cotye]

Whoa, someone is bitter. But didn't even know GMA and Today were that big of rivals.

 

[Robinrs]

Rivals??? OMG, they would MURDER each other if they could!!

We have rivals in radio, also, in fact one of our ex-jocks who works for another station calls us the "Ex-Wife"! It can be quite vile!
