Al Roker Is Back in the Kitchen After Health Scare

Al Roker is back home and feeling the holiday cheer! The Today show weatherman has been giving his followers an inside look at his family’s holiday festivities.

His most recent post featured a meal he prepared for his family, to which his daughter, Leila, was not particularly enthused.

“Made a beef and veggie lasagna tonight. @cleilapatra was doubtful but needed [sic] liking it,” the 68-year-old morning news personality captioned a pic of a table featuring his dinner spread, with the lasagna taking center stage.

Over the weekend, Roker dazzled viewers with a peek at his family’s festive holiday decorations.

“So thankful to be well enough to decorate the Roker Family #christmastree,” he wrote.

Al Roker and his family recently shared a heartwarming photo set of their holiday decorations, just weeks after the Today weatherman’s extended health battle.

Roker was hospitalized in November due to an issue with blood clots in his lungs and leg, and returned to the hospital due to complications.

Last week, his colleagues showed their support by singing “Jingle Bells” to him at his home.

The photo set included pictures of each member of the Roker family holding up a Christmas ornament with their name on it as they put them up on their tree.

Gayle King put the morning news competition to the side to give Today co-host Al Roker a special shoutout during CBS Morning’s broadcast. King highlighted the Today staff’s caroling for Roker as a gesture of well-wishes.

“I love everything about this,” King said as CBS Mornings played the Today clip. “I was so touched that they would take the time. Normally I don’t try to find good news at [what] the other guys are doing. It’s normally not what I do, but I just think that, while we are competitors, we’re also friends. And that, to me, trumps the competition. So we’re all pulling for him, and wishing him well. And we can’t wait for Al Roker to be back in the studio.”
