Biden: Maybe I'll co-host "Today" show with Hillary Clinton
Come on. You'd watch it. You know you would.
"Today" show co-anchor and weather guy Al Roker said Tuesday that he wished Vice President Joe Biden would host the show "just for the day." Roker got pretty excited as he and his co-hosts considered the possibility of a segment dubbed "Breakfast with Biden."
"Mr. Vice President, the door is always open," Roker said to the camera.
Well...not only did Biden not reject the request, he raised Roker one Hillary Clinton, as the tweet below attests. (Biden's office declined to comment further on the tweet. Biden and Hillary Clinton had breakfast on Tuesday.)
Keep the door open @alroker. Who knows, maybe @HillaryClinton and I can co-host. --VP http://t.co/5ggkEJynjs

But then, hijinks ensued. I mean, Twitter hijinks.
First, Roker let Biden know he had a special reward in mind:
@VP @HillaryClinton We'd love to have you both. I'll make my famous bacon waffles for you

But co-host Savannah Guthrie apparently felt short-changed:
@alroker um, what bacon waffles???
— Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) July 30, 2013
Roker doubled down:
@SavannahGuthrie Roker Sunday breakfast specialty
— Al Roker (@alroker) July 30, 2013
Guthrie seized the opening:
@alroker let's bring it to weekday? Breakfast of cohosts?
— Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) July 30, 2013
And New York Times media writer Brian Stelter offered his services as food critic:
@SavannahGuthrie @alroker need a taste-tester? i know a lot about bacon and a lot about waffles.
