Al Roker spent the last two weeks in the hospital recovering from blood clots that traveled from his leg to his lungs. Today, he was set free just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. So you can say that the Today show meteorologist has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Primarily for being alive and recuperating!
Hopefully, he will continue to do so quickly and back do weather on the morning news show as soon as he can.
Al Roker is such a staple on the Today show. So when he is not there, we get worried about him. The weatherman has been missing from the news broadcast for almost two weeks, and today he revealed why that is.
“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been. Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs. After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery,” the 68-year-old wrote. “Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone.”
Hopefully, he will be better soon and back to doing what he loves and what we love watching do.
Savannah Guthrie has to wake up before the roosters in order to make it to the start of Today at 7a. However, today she overslept and almost missed the good mornings.
But with the help of the amazing hair and makeup team on the NBC news show, they worked their magic and made her look perfect in 15 minutes. This way, the viewers would not know that she had just gotten there.
The anchor almost got away with it, but Craig Melvin called her out on it. I have two words for him for doing that. They are, thank and you!

Let’s be honest. The news is depressing, and they need to do something to cheer us up! That is what Luke Burdsall does at CBS21 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The other day when he was anchoring with Ed Russo, Burdsall decided to play Made You Look with the weatherman. That move lightened the newscast and, I am sure, made their viewers smile.
I wish more newspeople would have fun on the air because we need it! Life is serious enough; we can all use some happiness when finding out how bad things really are in the world today.
Aureus’ Karen Firestone was doing a live shot for CNBC’s Squawk Box from her home, and there is a lot to squawk about.
It is not about what the contributor said; it was going on in the background. First, her dogs started barking. Then, a man in his underwear walked behind her.
Who said business news is boring? It isn’t. At least not this time.
