The happy news was announced live on the Today Show, with Al passing along the message via video link to his co-stars in the studio, telling them that everyone was doing well and the family “couldn’t be happier.”

Al is calling himself Pop-Pop, and his granddaughter’s name is especially poignant, given that he is a meteorologist.

Observing the special link during the announcement segment, Al’s co-star Sheinelle Jones said: “That’s really cute that his first grandchild’s name is Sky.”

Courtney had announced that she was expecting her first child back in March, in a sweet video posted on Instagram, which was set to a remix of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby.”

The caption on the post read: “A new adventure is about to begin.” Back in March shortly after Courtney’s Instagram post, Al told his fellow co-stars that the news hadn’t quite sunk in, and that his son-in-law Wes’s brother was the one who accidentally spilled the beans about Courtney’s pregnancy.

“Wes’ goofy brother accidentally dropped (the news) on a text,” Al said at the time. “Thanks Cory.”
