themeless no. 8

 

in this house, we love and support al roker. this is a no-context spoiler for the puzzle, by the way. you'll know it when you see it.

not a lot to say, again. on any given day there's just really not a lot going on in my brain, truthfully; it's a real 'the lights are on but no one's home' sort of situation. i had fun with this one, though, and i hope you do too! 

kate and quiara both test solved it, and were both exceedingly nice about my persistent inability to identify an adjective. grateful for them!
