A young girl has gone viral for her hilarious reaction to Al Roker gifting her tickets to see the Radio City Rockettes during the 99th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
During Thursday’s festivities, the Today weather anchor was standing alongside the Rockettes outside Radio City Music Hall when he met a young girl named Elliot, who just so happened to be celebrating her 7th birthday.
Roker then presented the birthday girl with an extra special surprise. “We’ve got a very special something for you,” he said. “You’ve got a golden ticket! And you get the…Radio City Music Hall Rockettes!”

However, Elliot didn’t exactly have the overjoyed reaction that Roker was likely anticipating when he surprised her with the tickets. “I did that yesterday,” she happily told to the host, who promptly burst into laughter.
“You did it yesterday! Oh my golly!” Roker replied, taking the moment in stride. “Well, you get to see them again!”
Elliot did seem excited about the prospect of seeing the Rockettes a second time, letting out an enthusiastic, “Yay!”
Roker closed the well-intentioned segment by wishing Elliot another happy birthday and encouraging her to go say hi to Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, who hosted the annual event.
“Hey, we saw her yesterday!” Savannah teased.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was jam-packed full of fun festivities, including dazzling floats and performances by Wicked: For Good star Cynthia Erivo, Teyana Taylor, Kool & the Gang, Foreigner, Lainey Wilson, and more.
