Report: Sam Champion is looking steal Al Roker‘s Job at Today

We would like to file this one under, "not gonna happen", but Radar Online says that  Sam Champion is looking to capitalize on all the TV exposure he’s been getting from reporting on Hurricane Irma — by stealing Al Roker‘s coveted Today gig.

Radar writes that Champion, a MSNBC weather contributor and former ABC News meteorologist is “pushing hard” to join The Today Show and sources tell Radar Roker, 63, “is having none of it.”

They then add, production insiders also note, “if they replaced the only major black co-host the show has with ‘whiter than white’ Sam, Al know there would be a public outcry.”

So, while maybe it's true that Champion would like to take over Roker's gig, the chance of it happening are about the same as a Hurricane hitting Chicago.
