Al Roker, the beloved weatherman, has been absent from television screens recently due to a serious health scare involving blood clots in his thigh that later moved to his lungs, leading to hospitalization. In a heartfelt tweet, Roker shared his current journey to recovery and conveyed his gratitude for the care he has received, as well as for the well-wishes pouring in from fans.
Roker has previously been candid about his health battles, which include prostate cancer and surgeries for hip and knee issues. Despite these challenges, he has remained remarkably active, even conquering the Brooklyn Half Marathon.
Colleagues from the “Today” show, such as Hoda Kotb, Dylan Dryer, Craig Melvin, and Savannah Guthrie, have publicly shown their support for Roker, highlighting his resilience and high spirits during this trying time.
