Hoda told the dad-of-three. "Every now and then!" Al replied. "Every now and then, and Deborah will text you and say 'Pull it back,' like sometimes you take something and you take it too far," Hoda continued.
"What do you do if you get the Deborah text?" she asked. "Well I always figure it's live TV and there's nothing I can do about it now!" Al replied.
