God help me, but for some reason, I've always thought Al Roker was funny. Whenever I've seen him on the Today show, especially in the third-hour segment that he co-hosts, he always seems to make a joke or two that's goofy but kind of snide at the same time.

For instance, this morning, he was hosting a cooking segment that used artichokes. The cook mentioned that when you take off the artichoke leaves, you rub the bottoms with lemon so they don't turn black. "You might even want to rub lemon on your hands so the black doesn't get on them either," he said.

"Well, it's a little too late for me, but..." Al shot back, causing the crew to break out in laughter.

See what I mean? That was funny! And a little edgy (I mean, if Chappelle can do racial humor, why not Al?). He just seems like one of those guys who would make a lot of dumb jokes at lunch that all somehow make you laugh, even when you know you shouldn't.

Am I off-base here? Do I need a sense of humor transplant? Let me know in the comments.
