(edit)

(edit)
(Al's most famous catchphrase on the Today show when he segues to the local weather.)
Al: That's what's going on around the country; Here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. (edit) Al: (on if Katie Couric were to leave Today which then was unsure) None of us can worry about that, because it's not something we can control. (edit) Al: (on being weatherman on "The Today Show" as he told The Associated Press) I was just thrilled to get the gig to begin with. Ten years later to still have it is not only thrilling but also somewhat of a puzzlement. (edit) Al: I ate myself stupid, I thought, `I'm never going to eat like this again.' The only trick was to make sure I didn't have a heart attack before I did the deal. (edit)
