Keegan-Michael appeared on Wednesday’s episode alongside Al, Craig, and Savannah Guthrie.

The comedian, who co-created Key & Peele with Jordan Peele, marked his 52^nd birthday this week and was presented with a cake.

Al asked Keegan-Michael if he had ever smelled the cake before appearing to push his head toward the treat.

The camera panned to Savannah, who wagged her finger, before Craig told Al: “Do not do that to our guest.”

Al is a beloved host on the Today show and viewers described him as the “special ingredient.”

Craig and Al constantly keep viewers entertained as the pair are known for their banter and playful behavior.

But, this week, they were accused of being “immature” during a fashion segment.

Earlier this month, The U.S. Sun reported how Al poked fun at Craig after the broadcaster debuted a new haircut.

Al said: “Love the new haircut… [it] looks clean. I like that.”

Craig thanked Al for the praise as he proudly rubbed his head.

He replied: “Thank you very much I appreciate that and my barber DJ Fresh appreciates it too.”

Al laughed as he repeated "DJ Fresh," seemingly confirming with Craig if he heard him right.

Craig repeated the name "DJ Fresh," before revealing that his barber's name was a "stage" persona.

The weatherman joked: “Only you would have a barber with a stage name.”

Craig and Al's playful behavior was also on show during an exercise segment.

The broadcaster screamed “dear God” when Al pretended to sit on his back while he and his co-star Dylan Dreyer were practicing planks.

A plank is an abdominal exercise that involves maintaining a position similar to a push-up with the body held parallel to the ground.

A panicked Craig yelled: "Oh, dude nah!" as he quickly lowered his knees to the yoga mat below.
