Last November, Al Roker became the envy of Ghostbusters fans worldwide when he reunited Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver for a very special episode of the Today show. This past week, Roker received yet another priceless opportunity to get up close and personal with what he calls his favorite movie franchise.
The TV personality swung by the set of the much-anticipated Ghostbusters reboot last Thursday, where he not only interviewed director Paul Feig and “geeked out” over the Ectomobile, but also had the grand privilege of being slimed while the film’s own Melissa McCarthy looked on. It may not have been as epic a scene as when Dr. Peter Venkman got doused in the green goo, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous of ole Al.
