'Today' Fan Jumps Barricade, Shocking Hosts

A crazed "Today" show fan jumped a barrier Tuesday, giving the show's hosts quite a wake up call on live TV.

According to a story by Richard Huff at nydailynews.com, Meredith Vieira, Al Roker and Willie Geist were standing outside at Rockefeller Plaza when the guy "hurled" himself over the barricade, according to Vieira.



The incident occurred as a video clip was on the screen, so viewers heard the man - and Vieira scream "Oh Jesus!" - but didn't see the action.

Producers at the top-rated NBC breakfast show then quickly cut to Ann Curry inside at the newsdesk while security guards and cops nabbed the guy.

"We're certainly awake now," Vieira said later in the show.

Roker said the guy screamed "God's gift to music."
