Did jovial weatherman Al Roker endanger the lives of jurors at Manhattan's Criminal Court by taking their photos in a desperate attempt to feed his insatiable Twitter urge? Probably not, but it makes a better story that way. Twitter kills! Also Al Roker kills! (If you missed the photos, don't worry, the Post has 'em.)

Gee, sure hope Jimmy Kimmel isn't guest-hosting on 'Today.'
Is it just me or are Al Roker's Today show performances uncomfortably "minstrel?"
I'd say the Today Show's lingering remnant of minstrelsy is Willard Scott, not Al Roker. I mean, dude was a professional clown for years.
Al Roker just seems like a very ordinary genial sort of chap.
Well, Willard just seems dopey. And while Al does seem a genial sort, what I'm talking about is the "shuck & jive" act he seems to be relegated to, making a fool of himself, clowning etc., the seeming attempt to come across as the least threatening black man in the history of ever. Plus, how terrible is it that they seem to get Al, a guy who's impressively lost a ton of weight, to do so many of the food segements.
Yes, some people may die, but who can find fault a man who publicly unfriends Charlene Marshall?
