(hennemusic) NBC's Al Roker wouldn't budge for Van Halen on a flight to New York this week. The New York Post reports Roker nearly "pulled an Alec Baldwin" on an American Airlines flight when he refused to give up his aisle seat for Alex Van Halen and his wife, Stine Schyberg, and remained glued to his phone after the gate closed to tune out the couple's protests. On AA flight No. 4 to New York, the Van Halen co-founder and his wife complained to the gate agent that Roker was sitting between them as the plane sat on the ground.
Witnesses said Alex was seated by the right-side window, his wife in the center of the cabin, with Roker in the aisle seat between them. Alex's brother and Van Halen co-founder Eddie and his wife, Janie Liszewski, were seated in the row behind them. Find out why he wouldn't move
