The "Today" show booked Dan Abrams for a "serious" segment about Olivia Newton-John's "missing" ex-boyfriend -- but once Dan brought up an eyewitness named "Nacho" -- the banter got really, really cheesy.
Enjoy! Al Roker sure did.

Patrick McDermott's family may not find this very funny. How incredibly tasteless! The producer should have gone to commercial. Not funny at ALL!

Why would Patrick McDermott's family care that the 'Today' show was making fun of an eye-witness' name that was perhaps the most popular appetizer of the Superbowl? The family's bigger problem is that he is most likely alive and has skipped town to skip his responsibilities.

Krypie...lighten up. The guy skipped out on HUGE amounts of child support, among other debts he owed. We get to make fun of Nacho saying he saw him in a crappy town in Mexico. It's funny...get a sense of humor.

How culturally insensitive. "Nacho" is short for "Ignacio" and a popular nickname in latinamerica. Someone needs to do some cultural sensitivity training for the Today show staff.

You know, if it had been a conservative host making these comments, all hell would have broke loose with calls for their immediate firing. Just more hypocrisy from the left and the MSM.

Al Roker is the absolute worst. He's a bigoted no-talent hypocrite and I can't stand to watch him. All of his attempts to be witty, charming, and sometimes serious just end up making him look stupid. I especially love how he jumped on the "fire Don Imus" bandwagon because it's just so wrong to make a joke about other people. Yet Roker openly makes jokes on the air about people with Epilepsy, this Nacho guy, Ann Coulters legs in the air, etc. He's just a whiny, fake, not-funny, fat a-hole, and he sucks.
