To give the credit where it was due, I think it was Roker who made a point of crediting his predecessor Uncle Willard - and she gave him a kiss in addition to the nice hello. David Gregory made a not-so-subtle allusion to the White House pooping incident, which Roker took in stride. But what made that whole incident funny was Williams's set up and commentary. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
