Fans of Today were treated to a sweet surprise on Tuesday, April 30, when the show posted a handful of baby photos of some of its most prominent cast members.
The morning broadcast teamed up with Gerber to promote this year's search for its Chief Growing Officer, "jump[ing] in on the fun" with a series of "adorable throwback pics," and we imagine looking them over evokes a similar feeling to when you run into one of your teachers outside of school—a little unreal.
Meteorologists Al Roker, 69, and Dylan Dreyer, 42, co-host Sheinelle Jones, 46, and anchor Craig Melvin, 44, were all a part of it, with a screenshot of them sitting next to one another around a glass table on the show's set arranged above their respective baby photos, none of which seemed to have been taken above the age of two.
Roker's snapshot was a blurry black-and-white rendering, where the tot version of the television personality donned one of his beloved fedoras.
Next, Jones offered a gummy smile for the camera, a cute little bow sitting atop her head.
Melvin, who the team joked "looks exactly the same," smiled brightly at the camera, showing off his baby teeth.
Finally, Dreyer gave a sassy, over-the-shoulder look at the camera.
Fans were delighted by the little glimpse at their childhoods, though not everyone was convinced they were legit.
"Cant believe this is real 😂," one wrote in response.
"Congratulations to all, good aging👏," another joked.
Several begged for Melvin's secrets in particular, with one writing, "Craig needs to drop the skincare routine asap!"
"We need Craig’s anti-aging secret!! All adorable!! 🫶🏽," said another.
Others pointed out how Roker has barely changed.
"Al was wearing hats even back then! 😂," one wrote, while another pointed out that he was "giving the side eye to someone!"
Roker is, of course, well-known for his sassy demeanor, often poking fun at his colleagues, and it's clear that's been with him from the start!
