Just a few days after the TODAY plaza opened in the summer of 1994, Al Roker hosted a very special guest on the show. More accurately, Roker carried him. Jordan Burrell was only six months old when he made his first live TV appearance on the TODAY Show sporting an adorable bib affixed with a TODAY pin. A beaming Roker held baby Jordan as he interviewed members of the crowd outside Studio 1A on July 1, 1994.
“We got up bright and early to get here to see your show in 1994,” Gregory Burrell recalled during his most-recent visit to the plaza. According to Gregory Burrell, Roker spotted the family of three in 1994 after hearing Jordan cry in the audience. “We remember Al saying, ‘Where's that baby? Where's that baby?’” he said. 'And then thirty years later, we get a call.' Jordan Burrell initially thought that the call inviting him back to TODAY was spam.
