NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Amid the announcement of the 'Golden Bachelor' couple's divorce on the 'Today' show, meteorologist Albert Roker candidly described stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist as "stupid".

What transpired was Carson Daly taking the reins of the POPStart segment on the 'Today' show as usual, delivering a surprising piece of breaking news to the Today Show audience. "This just in: The Golden Bachelor, the first couple from the Bachelor's latest franchise, have just announced their split," he announced.

Albert Roker, expressing disbelief, interjected with a "What?" while Carson continued to share the details. "Unbelievable. Who saw that coming?" Al added incredulously.

In a moment of candor, Al went on to remark, "It just goes to show that old people can be just as stupid."

The other hosts were taken aback, but Carson Daly acknowledged Al's comment with a wry response, saying, "Well, you said it, Al." The crew shared a laugh, with Carson humorously thanking "Uncle Al" for his timely insight.
