Al Roker has been in and out of the hospital due to various health issues over the years. In 2002, after several struggles with being overweight, he underwent weight reduction surgery and was able to drop more than 100 lbs.
Last year November, the Today host was admitted due to blood clots and had to be readmitted in December for the same reason, and as a result of this, he took time off the show for approximately two months. Recently, Al Roker underwent a total knee replacement surgery in May 2023, which has caused him to stay off from his duties on the Today show.
