GMA’s Deborah Roberts admits she feels ‘so pathetic’ in wild confession that she ‘can’t bring’ husband Al Roker into

Aug 30, 2023

DEBORAH Roberts has admitted she feels "so pathetic" in a candid social media post.

Deborah, 62, took to Instagram on Friday evening and did a brief Live video for her 245,000 followers.

As she sat in her bed wearing a multi-colored floral nightdress and her trademark spectacles, the TV star addressed her fans.

"Hello everybody, how are you? Happy Friday! How's it going? What are you all up to?" Deborah began.

"Okay, I just had to jump on here really fast to share because I am feeling really pathetic.

"Are we really going to bed at 8:14 on a Friday night? My husband's already down for the count, I will not bring him into this, he's over here," she continued, referring to Al Roker.

"On a Friday night, 8:14, are we really going to bed? I'm sitting here, I've got a book that I'm gonna pull out but we had dinner, and next thing I knew people were going to bed! How about you? I feel so pathetic, how about you all?"

She then read out some of her followers' comments as they shared their own Friday night plans.

"I just wanna know is it just us?" Deborah then asked.

"I mean, obviously, my husband is still recovering from knee replacement surgery. I know he's on the mend and you know he's tired by the end of the day getting back out there but it is 8:14, it's not even 8:15 yet and we're going to bed!

"Well at least he's going to bed, and I guess I'll be behind him," she admitted.

"And it's summer, it's still daylight outside! I mean, what is going on?" Deborah said as she panned the camera to her bedroom window and then back to her face.

"I just had to come on here, because are we just the most kookiest, boring people in the world?" she enquired before she confirmed that Al, 68, was "out like a light."

"I was chuckling so hard about what was happening that I had to jump on here and share," Deborah then said as she wished her followers a good weekend.

"I hope you all have a great weekend, you all take care of yourselves, take care of each other and find something worth smiling about, I hope you do," she said.

Deborah posted the video on her grid and her fans were quick to comment on the clip.

"Yes ma’am, it's Fresh Sheet Friday! That means early to bed!" one person said.

Another fan told her: "Nothing wrong with going to bed at 8:14 or any other time!"

"You’re not alone!" a third admitted, while a fourth person added: "Nothing wrong with that Rest is good for you!!"

Deborah's post comes after Al was forced to sit out of a usual morning show segment on Today following his major surgery.

During Thursday's show, Al introduced viewers to June's new Start Today walking segment.

It's a walking club meant to help members get up and out of their seats to get healthy.

Al was around to kick things off, but he could not walk with the rest of the team unfortunately.

"We wanna gear everybody up for our Start Today walking challenge for the month of June," Al said as he was joined by Stephanie Mansour.

Stephanie is the host of Step It Up with Steph on PBS and the Create channel.

"It's hard to believe our community has over half a million members, and of course we want you to join us today," Al added.

Al and Stephanie were joined by several members to get their steps in.

Since Al was sitting on the sidelines, he kicked off the morning walk after encouraging everyone to get going by using a loudspeaker.

As everyone marched along, Al cheered them on while they passed.

Al plans on joining in once he is fully recovered from knee surgery.
