Today Show: Ryan Gosling Dirty Dances With Al Roker (WATCH)

On set at the Today Show this morning outside of 30 Rock in New York, Ryan Gosling demonstrated why he is worthy of the "gorgeous hunk of man candy" title Anne Curry was quick to call him by lifting Al Roker in the air -- Dirty Dancing-style. Appearing with Crazy, Sexy, Love co-star Emma Stone, the actor recreated the infamous air move (which makes an appearance in the flick) with the anchorman, but not after two false starts.

"You really got to push up!" Gosling said, before successfully hoisting an ecstatic Roker above his shoulders.

"Nobody puts Ryan in the corner!" Roker yelled, once safely back on ground.

Poor Ryan his little testies are now rolling down 5th after having a hernia lifting Roker. Too funny.

I hope Ryan didn't hurt his back. Nice segment. Ryan is one of the few actors out there who doesn't come off as pretentious.

That was probably the highlight of Roker's day, maybe even lifetime.

The funny part was seeing Al Roker try to run. What a sight.
