Al Roker Verbally Spanks Heidi

Al Roker slams Heidi and Spencer Pratt again

"Today Show's" Al Roker isn't apologizing for his interview with Heidi and Spencer Pratt and he doesn't know why they are considered famous.

Roker tells "Extra," "There is this brand of celebrity that's famous for just being kind of famous. Haven't done anything. Haven't contributed anything and then have the temerity to behave extremely badly." He explains his "bullying" interview style, saying, "As a parent, if my 7-year-old behaves badly, I may verbally spank them, and so that's a little of what happened yesterday."

When Heidi said she wanted to be like Mother Theresa, Al was shocked. "Last I checked, Mother Teresa was known for charity works. For doing good. For helping people. Not for posing in Playboy," he said. Adding, "The idea that you want to be a hero, well, hero is more than growing a flesh-colored beard. I think we need to redefine what celebrity is in this country."

On Monday, Heidi said women know how Roker behaved. Al told "Extra," "Anybody who's watched the "Today Show," watched the hundreds of interviews I've done with men or women, there has never been a complaint because most of these people are non-delusional."

Congrats to Al Roker for attempting to set these two idiots straight! I’m ashamed to be part of the same generation as Heidi and Spencer Pratt. They make all of us 20 somethings look bad.

I’ll tell you this. When I sat down with my family to watch the first episode of ” I’m a Celebrity “, I was at first amused, then shocked by Spencer’s behavior! I have never been known to ” hate ” anyone in my life, but what I felt about his behavior was very close to hate. Being a christian man, I try to love everyone, but to hear those two call themselves christians, made me sick to my stomach. Who are they anyway? I have never heard of either one of them before the show, ” I’m a celebrity “.
To call them celebrities, is a mistake. They are nothing more than wanna be famous brats!! If it was me Al, I would have turned them over my knee for real and - as my father would say- beat the hide right off thier a**es!!

I believe Al does not owe anyone an apology. These two are so vain they are disgusting. He oly asked the questions on everyones minds. Why these two think they are soooo famouse until that show I had no clue who they were. And that she says she has to pray for ” that weatherman” give me a break. they made a mockery of religion in every sense.
Al stand your ground !!

I think Al did a great job. He was as professional as he could be with what he was working with. Al Roker wouldn’t hurt a fly. Those 2 people are 2 jerks they need to go to a phychiatric center. He thinks he is Jesus (he obviously doesn’t know who jrsus was or is). She is a blonde bimbo (so called actress) who is a spoiled brat. Al is a happy , funny , professional interveiwer, wheather man narrator and has his own show Roker on the road(which I love). Al I hope you see this. I really love to watch you on your shows you make me laugh. You definitly didn’t go too far. Ginny

AL is challenging people with the maturity development of a 15 year old. Al why go there?

The jerk wanted to know y Al was there, was because he got the short straw. I don’t know y u let them on your show. The only reason jerk married her was because he can boss her around. To bad she went with him because without him she might have made it a little farther

I absolutely agree with All. They are a disgrace to the human race, childish and vain. Children don’t even act like Spencer does. An attitude ajustment is needed, and some phychotherapy.

Al Roker was alot nicer to “Speidi” than I would’ve been. They don’t want the average American to interview them on TV. I do not know ONE person who likes either one of these spoiled brats! They do not have one redeeming quality between the two of them. They better be giving their agent 75% of their money for getting them “face time” on TV, because no one can figure out WHY their getting attention! And I’m sorry, but I don’t know why any of the women on The View didn’t b*tch-slap that lil girl for thinking she’s a “modern Mother Teresa”!? What does she do for anyone, but herself? PLEASE, put them out of our misery!!!

These people are crazy…who do they think they are?….celebrities?….please!! give me a break. Heidi and Spencer needs to go back to school and get and a degree in common sense and what it means to be a good person…

I never watched the show that they became “celebrities” on, so when they showed up on the Today Show I still had no idea who they were, but, Al Roker was totally correct in TRYING to get an answer that made sense from them. She obviously is a total ditz, and he is hiding behing supposedly finding Jesus. Boy, he really needs all the help he can get being married to someone like that!

These two are a joke. Spencer looks like his mother had an alcohol problem while she was pregnant with him. Those narrow, sunken eyes look like a symptom of fetal alcohol syndrome. Watching these two make me embarrassed to say I’m in the same species as them. Heck, I can’t believe I wasted this time to post about them. I just had to vent.

I have to agree with Al, she’s now a born again Christian why is she posing for Playboy.

If that’s the case I look at her husband like he’s a pimp

HEIDI & SPENCER ARE BIG BABIES. They ask for every thing they get. Do they think it’s fair they can say ANYTHING they want and then NOT have to answer for it? They are NOT then biggest couple, I can’t even call them celebs. You go Al….you DID ask them what everyone wanted to know and they were not able to give ONE STRAIGHT ANSWER! Extra feeds into their ego by giving them air time. Please start to talk about someone who’s worthy of the air!

You Go AL…the truth hurts and Al just said it like it is. Why these two are even on TV is beyond me; they need to be ignored and hopefully they will go away

Heidi and Spencer, Jon and Kate too much tv for both of them. They are nobody and should stay that way. Get a life and extra and all the others should not even show them on tv anymore. I just go fast forward when they are on. They never did say or do anything that most people want to see on tv. You go AL
