Al Roker’s absence from The Today Show for two weeks confused viewers.
Since then, he has explained the mystery behind his absence, saying he was hospitalized after blood clots from a blood clot in his leg spread to his lungs.
And there’s a fresh update now…
When the beloved weatherman disappeared from The Today Show for several weeks, it’s likely that many people were alarmed.
Some folks worried that it might be connected to the medical problems Al was dealing with a few years ago. Al received surgery to have his prostate removed in 2020 because he was fighting prostate cancer.
However, it wasn’t cancer that had returned. The well-known weatherman instead delivered some other depressing information.
Al acknowledged his departure from the daily show in a post on Instagram on November 18, 2022. The well-known weatherman and anchor shared his health crisis next to a photo of a bouquet of flowers.
“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. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone.”
