TODAY star Al Roker has seemed to struggle with getting his microphone to work while on-air.
Al's Today show colleague Craig Melvin attempted to rescue the weatherman from another mishap on the morning show.

The issue occurred during the 68-year-old TV host's daily weather segment on Thursday's episode.
His co-host, Hoda Kotb, 59, passed the torch to Al after she finished interviewing pro-tennis player Caroline Wozniacki for a segment that she co-anchored with Craig, 45.
Al loudly announced that things were "so good" when producers cut to him beside his weatherboard after Hoda "checked in with Al" for his meteorology report.
Al's voice initially sounded distorted, and very distant.

Meanwhile, Hoda and Craig's voices were crisp and clear.
Al continued to sound muffled as he began reporting on the weather.
Craig tried to distract viewers from the obvious technical difficulty Al was having by singing Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline.
Seconds later, Al realized something was off with his mic, which prompted him to reach around himself and adjust the body mic attached to his waist.

A HELPING HAND
"You have to turn your microphone on Al," Craig told him while he fidgeted with the mic.
"That's the weird thing about those microphones."
Al took off his mic and put it in his hand to get a better look at it.
He turned it on at the same time a morning show crew member had brought him a handheld wireless mic.
"I'm good; I got a mic. I turned it on," Al told the crew member, who offered him the other mic.
AWKWARD AL
Al has been having more blunders on-air lately.
He spooked his co-hosts when he broke one of the products being promoted on Today in late July.
Editor in Chief of the magazine Real Simple, Lauren Lannotti, spearheaded Today's show segment, Double It Up.
She walked NBC personalities Al, Craig, and Savannah Sellers, 27, through a few items that would be beneficial in people's houses.
Lauren demonstrated how to properly utilize each household item.
Everything went smoothly until the Frisco Hidden Planter Cat Litter Box was introduced.
The affordable pet necessity was a two-part instrument.
On the Today set, one of the litter boxes being referenced had a lid filled with marbles surrounding a faux plant on it.
A stuffed toy cat was placed in the inner part of the aforementioned litter box to show how a feline would fit inside the plush open space.
While Lauren was talking about the litter box, the weatherman was fiddling with the box's lid.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
Al broke the lid, spilling all of the marbles on the floor.
Craig jumped at the sound of the litter box breaking, and Savannah flinched before breaking into nervous laughter.
"What is wrong with you?," Craig asked Al, who had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry," Al apologized after he playfully admitted to "no cats being hurt" during the segment, referring to the toy cat in the box he broke.
Prior to his apology, he pretended to almost fall on the fallen marbles.
