Dylan Dreyer took the plunge on live TV and we almost missed her make a splash


Cannonball! Dylan Dreyer showed off her fun-loving personality on Today last week when she jumped into a swimming pool on live TV, much to the delight of onlookers. 

The meteorologist was hosting the show from a cruise ship in Miami along with Al Roker and Craig Melvin

During a poolside segment, where the cruise ship revelers were cheering for the anchors, Craig turned to Dylan and said: “Do you know what would make this even better?” To which she asked: “What Craig?” and he responded: “A Dylan Dreyer jump.”

She quipped: “In the pool?” and when Craig confirmed that was what he was hoping for, Dylan passed her mic to the crew and swiftly walked over to the edge of the pool and jumped fully clothed into the water. 

Her co-anchors clearly didn’t believed the mom-of-three would complete her mission and yelled “that’s tremendous,” when she emerged from the pool. 

Dylan shared photos of her antics on Instagram and thanked the photographer for capturing the playful moment. 

The trio appeared to have great fun hosting from the sun-filled location away from Studio 1A.

However, it almost didn’t happen as Al and Craig were severely delayed getting to Miami from New York.

Dylan made it in plenty of time, however, and revealed why!

“Craig and I actually got delayed coming down here because of these thunderstorms in Miami. Dylan was actually already here…” Al said when they team were eventually reunited. “They don’t let us fly together just incase this happens,” Dylan added laughing, as Al teased: “No, I think they just didn’t book it well.”
