WATCH: Al Roker talks White House ‘accident’

Al Roker is stunned that his TMI accident at the White House has gone viral.

“It wasn’t until it was picked up by a Web site,” Roker told a TVNewser reporter about the frenzy over the incident. “The story had been on the air for three days, no big deal. But when you put it on a Web site, and then all the sudden ‘Ooh!’”

He added, “At the end of the day, I have a best-seller with “Never Goin’ Back Winning the Weight-Loss Battle For Good.’ Hey, you know what, I’m laughing all the way to the bank.”

The “Today” weatherman confessed to “Dateline” that he “pooped” his pants while walking through the White House many years ago following his gastric-bypass surgery.
