This week on Thanks Dad, Ego sat down with Emmy-winning weatherman, broadcaster, and journalist Al Roker! To start, Al shares the best acting advice he’s ever been given, and it might surprise you. Afterwards, he says thanks to his wife, Deborah Roberts, and his family for always supporting him, especially over the last few years. Ego and Al joke about having kids, The School of Hard Knocks, and the powerful lessons about failure that Al learned from his father. Al even reveals the nickname he tried giving himself in high school that didn’t stick.
