Al Roker to Receive TOMMY Award

NBC weatherman and certifiable lunatic Al Roker is slated to receive the Token Minority of the Year (TOMMY) award at a ceremony to be held at Radio City Music Hall this Saturday night. Roker, who holds no position of real responsibility at NBC, was given the job of Today Show meteorologist in a blatant attempt by the network to garner more black viewers for its notoriously white audience-focused programming.

This year's nominees include Lisa Ling of ABC's The View, Good Morning America's Spencer Christiansen, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno's own Kevin Eubanks, and every Secretary of Education and Secretary of Labor in American history.

Event organizers expect a lot of awkward patronizing and guilt-ridden self-deprecation on the part of all whites in attendance.
