The beloved weatherman took perfect advantage of the celebrity perks of being a Today host, and updated fans of his daughter's health with a heartwarming video featuring two beloved actresses that just so happen to be two of Courtney's favorites.

Al ensured they relayed a sweet get well message to his daughter, and the two seem to have not failed at their task, of which the birthday girl said: "The best birthday present I could ask for!!!"
