For some reason last night while trying to fall asleep, WifeGeeding and I were talking about Al Roker.

She stated that he is married to Deborah Roberts of ABC News.  I told her that just couldn’t be the case, and in doing some research – she’s right.

It may just be me, but her hands look pretty darn large.

Other things I didn’t know about Al Roker until last night:

• He initially wanted to be a cartoonist before he got into television.  This may explain the look of his website.  www.Roker.com
• He’s a cousin of Roxie Roker (Helen Willis of the TV show The Jeffersons) and her son, Lenny Kravitz. 
• He holds the record for most guest appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
• Roker is the basis of animated character Ollie Williams of The Family Guy.
