'Today' Show Stars Get Into Heated Debate On-Air: 'I'm Sorry, But No'

Al Roker, Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Sheinelle Jones

Tensions were high on the Today show this week, after the co-hosts got into a spirited debate in the middle of the live broadcast.

It was during the Wednesday, May 22 episode of the NBC morning show, when co-hosts Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones all seemed to have some contrasting opinions about Apple Music's Top 10 Albums of All Time, which were revealed online the same day.

As Jones, 46, was reading the list aloud, her co-hosts initially had no qualms with the albums that made the Top 10, including Beyoncé's Lemonade (2016), Nirvana's Nevermind (1991), Amy Winehouse's Back to Black (2006), Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012) and Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life.

But things started to heat up once they got into the Top 5, starting with #5, Blonde (2016) by Frank Ocean, which made Melvin blurt out "What?!" several times.

"I'm sorry, but no," Roker, 69, then interjected, before repeating, "No, no, no."

While some of the other co-hosts in the conversation, presumably Kotb, 59, and Guthrie, 52, could be heard giggling over the dispute, Jones seemingly tried to steer clear of their passionate opinions, reminding her colleagues that she was just "reading the list."

But the group seemed to agree on the top 4 albums including Prince & The Revolution's Purple Rain (1984), The Beatles' Abbey Road (1969), Thriller (1982) by Michael Jackson and finally, Lauryn Hill's 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

"This was transformational," Melvin said of Hill's chart-topping album, before quipping, "The album was so good, she never made another one!"

Guthrie then left the conversation off on a positive note by stating that all of the albums that made the list are "great."
