Matt Smithis showing off his range.
TheHouse of the Dragonstar appeared on theTodayshow Thursday morning, but he didn’t stick to the typical celebrity interview format. Though Smith, 39, shared some bits about his time working on theGame of Thronesprequel, he soon jumped intoAl Roker’sshoes to help with the daily weather report.
Roker, 68, invited Smith to the weather screen. First, the actor had a few questions. “Now, the thing is, can we actually see this? Or is this a thing where we can’t see?” he said as he gestured to the weather map.
With confirmation that the report was ready to go, Smith jumped right in. “Well, there’s heavy rain up here, obviously,” he said, pointing to a Northern area of America tagged with the line “HEAVY RAIN.”

“Strong storms in the middle of the country,” Smith continued. “New York’s doing alright. A bit of sunshine. The Plains have got a lot of heat, but we expected that, and to the west, well, oh! There’s a bit of a thunderstorm.”
Roker chimed in with a “Yes!”
“Watch out, people can’t drive in LA,” Smith jokingly added.
TheTodayteam seemed to approve of Smith’s weather improv. “This is the classiest weather forecast we have ever had,” Roker concluded, giving Smith a hug.
Smith is no stranger to the screen. OnHouse of the Dragon, he plays Daemon Targaryen, the brother of King Viserys I Targaryen.
HBO’s latestGame of Thronesventure isn’t all he’s known for, though. Smith is also featured as a youngPrince Philipin Netflix’sThe Crownand starred as the 11th doctor in the long standing sci fi franchise,Doctor Who.
