The Today Show reports:
After a year off as a scaled-down affair due to the pandemic, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade returned in full force this year, with one very special guest calling in. President Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden called TODAY’s Al Roker during the festivities.
“Oh my gosh, look at who’s calling,” Al said, while pointing his phone toward the camera to show the president’s face on his screen. After Al and the Bidens exchanged pleasantries, Al asked them to share a few words with the country.
