The 59-year-old journalist had been reporting a story about helping kids with special needs stay focused as they attend therapy sessions over the computer amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Her segment was interrupted by her 17-year-old son Nicholas as he waved at Robin, before her 65-year-old husband popped up behind his wife making a funny face.

He remained unnoticed until Robin pointed out: "Wait a minute! We have an Al Rocker sighting as well. This is a first."

Deborah laughed it off and pushed them both out of the shot, repeatedly saying "no!"

She continued: "The family is sorta chaotic but it's been a fun time."

Al played off the incident on his Twitter account as he shared the funny clip.

He wrote: "Whoopsies!! The dangers of broadcasting live on Today Show and GMA from the same house."

Deborah also shared the video and wrote: "Never a dull moment working from home with two network household!"

The coronavirus has certainly made the couple's work lives a little tougher as they both have to broadcast from their home at the same time.
