Al Roker found himself in an unexpected situation during a live chat with Laguna Beach star Lo Bosworth when a wardrobe malfunction disrupted the segment. The incident occurred as Bosworth, 39, appeared on the Today show on Friday, April 10, to discuss her perspective on the newly released special, The Reunion: Laguna Beach, which premiered on Roku that same day.
As Bosworth was speaking, Roker, 71, waited for a moment of silence before informing her that her gold necklace had become entangled in the microphone, causing static throughout the interview. “You know what, Lo, could you take your necklace and maybe just put it inside your dress because it’s rubbing against your microphone,” Roker said during the broadcast.

The MTV personality was taken aback by the situation, joking, “Guys, on live television?” Co-host Laura Jarrett quickly jumped in, assuring Bosworth, “Al Roker’s got your back.” Bosworth responded with gratitude, saying, “Thank you Al, I appreciate it,” while Roker added a light-hearted comment, “People are saying, ‘There’s something wrong with my TV, it’s staticky.’”
During the conversation, Bosworth explained why she wasn’t able to attend the reunion in person. She revealed that she was heavily pregnant at the time, so instead, her best friend Lauren Conrad recorded a segment with her at her company Love Wellness’ offices, which is featured in the special.

The Hills alum admitted that she always viewed her time on reality TV as a “temporary thing,” as her real dream was to become a fashion designer. She opened up about how challenging it was returning for the 20th anniversary, telling the outlet, “I thought it was going to be easier, like riding a bike, but I actually had a pretty hard time getting back into it.”
