Roker, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Tamron Hall were wrapping up an interview with members of the U.S. women’s rowing team on “Today” Thursday, when the tradition of a winning team throwing their coxswain into the water was discussed.
Lauer mentioned how the tradition in New York is to throw her into the Hudson River.
Quipped Roker: “Which is different than our tradition, which is you throw one of us under the bus, but that’s another story.”
Lauer and Guthrie then playfully scolded Roker.
“Today” dumped co-anchor Ann Curry less than two months ago.
