For the first time in 39 years, Al Roker overslept Tuesday causing him to completely miss his morning show “Wake Up with Al” on the Weather Channel.
While he usually uses his cell phone as an alarm, Roker admitted he "doesn't have a back up."
The veteran weather man tweeted:
After 39 years, it happened. I overslept and missed a show. Missed #WUWA. But will be on time for @today

But by the time he got to the "Today" show, his colleagues were ready with the jokes.

Good thing he has a sense of humor about himself.

This is only the second most embarrassing thing Roker has admitted on national television.
