Today on Today: Al's on Top
Because Americans love to be freaked out before they even have their morning coffee, Today show co-hosts Matt Lauer and Al Roker donned their skin-tight speed suits and embraced the double luge. Words can't quite convey the bizarre hilarity of Al laying down on top of Matt ("Am I supposed to lose circulation?" asks Lauer) and the two sliding down the luge track, screaming "whooo" at a pitch best fitting for a 14-year-old girl. But, as Lauer noted, "If you had Al on top of your groin, you'd squeal too." Or cry.
After the jump, more keepsake photos of "the ebony and ivory of our time."
"I don't know — it feels awful tight down there."
Obligatory crotch-shot.
"Actually, this feels kinda good now."
So fast, so hard.
The men smile, their faces aglow with post-luge bliss. Again! Again!
