Remembering the Time An Ewok Had One Too Many and Humped Al Roker’s Leg on ‘The Today Show’

No one turns up like an Ewok.

Kids today won’t believe me, but there was a time when television was fun. In 2009, The Today Show hosted a Halloween-themed episode where Al Roker drank martinis while dressed up as Princess Leia and spent half his time trying to stop a drunk Ewok from dry-humping his leg.


In the video, which has been immortalized on YouTube, you can see one of the Ewoks go for a cocktail before Ann Curry, dressed as Darth Vader, stops them, saying, “You’re not allowed to have vodka,” which the Ewoks don’t take too kindly to as they soon begin to hump Roker’s leg, the ground and break out in dance moves.


At the time, it was a perfect clip, and all these years later, it still makes me laugh.
