Al Roker yelled at his Today costars during a segment of the show when they decided to sing their hearts out in an impromptu musical performance.

During a recent Pop Start segment on Today, Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie began singing “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Though they successfully were able to harmonize while belting the 1983 hit, Al, 70, was less than impressed.

Al took his glasses off and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he sat sandwiched in between Savannah, 53, and Jenna, 43, on the couch. They wrapped their arms around him as they continued to sing despite his very loud pleas for them to stop.

“Please, no, make it stop! Make it stop!” the meteorologist yelled as his colleagues continued to sing. Carson Daly continued talking in the background, discussing the days biggest headlines in the entertainment world.

“Oh God, please no,” Carson, 51, could then be heard saying over Savannah and Jenna’s singing. The Voice host put a pillow over his face while Jenna and Savannah sang. Craig Melvin also sat alongside them smiling during the awkward segment.

On Today’s official Instagram page, the clip was posted with the caption, “Uncle Al is tired.” The comments section was full of love for Al, who has been at the heart of the talk show for decades.

“Al is my favorite. He just makes you want to give him the biggest hug. He exudes warmth,” one person wrote.

Another person wrote, “Al is the absolute best.”

However, some people agreed with Al and weren’t too impressed by Savannah and Jenna’s singing.

“Please just stop their singing, I love them and this undermines their abilities as hosts & correspondents,” one person said.

“I can’t! Was Hoda holding this show together? Bring her back, please!!” one person wrote. “I miss Sheinelle, and hope things are going well for her and her family. The Savannah and Jenna show is more than I can handle.”

The comment was in reference to Sheinelle Jones’ ongoing absence from Today. Sheinelle, 46, addressed her TV hiatus in a January 15 Instagram post.

“I sincerely appreciate all of you who have reached out while I’ve been absent from the show. I want to share with you that I’m taking time to deal with a family health matter,” the NBC anchor wrote on the social media platform. “It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to have not on the the support of my Today show family, but to also have all of you,” she continued. “Your kindness means so much to me. I’ll see you soon. Love, Sheinelle.”

She has not yet made her return to the show and has not announced when she is expected to be back. Fans have been rallying around Sheinelle amid her time away from the program.

“You are beloved by us all! So many prayers for complete healing. Your family is our family,” someone commented on Sheinelle’s Instagram post, as another person wrote, “I appreciate you sharing this with us so much because you have most definitely been missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as things progress.”
