NBC News\u2019 Vicky Nguyen<\/a> responds to Today <\/em>viewer who criticized her \u201cmansplaining\u201d comment toward Carson Daly<\/a> on Friday\u2019s broadcast.\u00a0<\/p>\nOn Friday, July 17, Nguyen joined Al Roker<\/a>, Laura Jarrett<\/a>, Craig Melvin<\/a> and Daly for Today\u2019s \u201cBest Ways\u201d segment on choosing the best grill for summer barbecues. When her news package concluded, Nguyen, 47, shared a grilling tip from Paul Hope, Consumer Reports editor and professionally trained chef.\u00a0<\/p>\nDaly, 53, chimed in to say that he and Roker, 71, \u201chave a lot to say about the topic,\u201d and shared two grilling tips of his own. He went on to explain that a meat thermometer needs to be in the center for a correct temperature and that the most expensive grill isn\u2019t always the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nCarson Daly and Vicky NguyenCredit: NBC<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Roker, then, said those tips were included in Nguyen\u2019s piece, which prompted her to say, \u201cYeah, thank you for mansplaining that again, Carson.\u201d She laughed and playfully nudged him, as the rest of the hosts erupted in laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am just passionate about the grill,\u201d Daly joked, while Roker quipped, \u201cYou come for the grill advice and stay for the boom!\u201d<\/p>\n
