<p>Comedian Larry David was scheduled to appear on Thursday morning&#8217;s broadcast of the &#8220;TODAY&#8221; show on NBC — but he crashed the set a bit early, shocking hosts when he burst onto the scene and physically assaulted another guest, the &#8220;Sesame Street&#8221; Muppet, Elmo.</p>
<p>Elmo joined the show after an X post about emotional well-being garnered a lot of attention — and the hosts wanted to continue that conversation. David, however, apparently had only one thing on his mind.</p>
<p>Newsbusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck shared a video clip of the wild scene, captioning it, &#8220;OMG: Larry David — whose interview was a few segments away on NBC&#8217;s &#8216;Today&#8217; show — comes out of nowhere &amp; beats up Elmo after his sit-down to talk about the responses to his #emotionalwellbeing post. @CraigMelvin, @SavannahGuthrie, @HodaKotb, @AlRoker, &amp; @Elmo were FLOORED.&#8221;</p>

<p>The conversation between Elmo and the hosts had just wrapped up, and Guthrie announced that they planned to &#8220;go over to Al (Roker) for a check of the weather&#8221; — and that&#8217;s when the chaotic scene began to unfold.</p>

<p>&#8220;Wait, wait, wait!&#8221; The camera panned back from Roker and his weather map to the hosts on the couch — and they all burst out laughing, with shocked expressions on their faces, as David walked onto the set and grabbed Elmo by the neck. With one hand he held the Muppet still, and with the other he punched several times — and the laughter continued.</p>
<p>Without a word, David turned on his heel and walked off the stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elmo loved you before,&#8221; the Muppet called after him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ask permission, ask permission before you touch people, Larry,&#8221; host Craig Melvin admonished the exiting comedian.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are one of the couples labeled as “admirable” — a couple we are told we should view as aspirational. Married since 1997, these two have appeared to have it all for a number of years: plenty of money, fast cars, two kids. But riffs in the relationship started appearing when Jada’s Facebook show, “Red Table Talk,” aired. We could all see something was going on; something was off in this relationship. Of course, their issues culminated with Will Smith smacking Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars. After years of appearances, we are finally finding out what’s been going on behind the scenes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jada is on press tour right now, promoting her book “Worthy,” which publishes October 17. During her tour, she’s revealed that she and Will have secretly been completely separated for the last seven years, and they are growing tired of maintaining the lie. In an interview with Hoda Kotb, Jada explains that she never wanted to get divorced and always thought they would “work through whatever.” Then she says she just hasn’t “been able to break that promise.”</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="EXCLUSIVE: Jada Pinkett Smith reveals she and Will Smith have been separated since 2016" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4O8qJNQurQ0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cast of The Today Show almost makes it seem as though Jada’s confession of a seven-year lie is some major act of bravery. And in a further act of bravery, she’s divulged even more details in her book where we will all be able to learn what’s been going on in the relationship.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In actuality, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">none of this</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is brave. Will and Jada are frauds. They have been putting on an act, appearing on red carpets together, showing public displays of affection, and preaching to the rest of us how we should live our lives. The purpose of Jada’s show “Red Table Talk” was to bring people’s lives to the table. She wanted to talk about the real, the honest, and the straightforward. Yet there is nothing brave or straightforward in anything she’s demonstrated other than her ability to lie to the masses for years.</span></p>
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/jada-and-will-smith-s-scam-marriage-exposed-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Jada Smith appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” and shared her tips on how she and Will keep the relationship “hot” when host Andy Cohen asked. She explained: “Will and I just have amazing chemistry on a lot of different levels, you know? We love to laugh together, we love to learn together, and we just love each other. We just have a good time together.” They joked that their 23 years together is practically 60 in Hollywood years.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Jada Pinkett Smith On That Swingers Rumor | WWHL" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/arASXH4CagI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s baffling that Jada has been this fraudulent — that she’s smiled in everyone’s faces and inserted herself as an authority in people’s lives. She’s spoken publicly about having cheated on Will, and while she likely doesn’t even consider that cheating, since they were not together, it was, indeed, cheating. They were </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">married</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Marriage and vows have </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">meaning</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — no matter how much Hollywood tries to tell the masses that they don’t. Despite their vows, Will and Jada opted for the progressive route, remained married, and slept with other people, which is exactly what Jada confessed in 2020. She had carried on an affair with August Alsina, a rapper in his early twenties who was </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">friends with her son</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Absolutely disgusting. It’s despicable. And there’s no way to measure the impact that’s had on the mentality of their children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">August has quite a different appearance than Will; he is not as clean cut. But based on all Jada has shared about herself, from her lifestyle to her upbringing, this affair makes sense. Jada Pinkett Smith is for the streets. Everything she has ever told about herself indicates she wants someone a little “harder” than Will Smith, which also explains some of her obsession with Tupac — who she has continued to talk about for years following his death. She still holds a torch for him, and Will even said in his own book that he was jealous of the special bond she had with Tupac. She wants to be part of the thug life while at the same time attempting to convince everyone to just be open and honest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2020, Jada invited Will on a “Red Table Talk” episode in which she essentially told the public that her affair was totally acceptable because Will hadn’t been doing the things he needed to do as a man. I can’t imagine any man agreeing to sit down and do this publicly, but for some reason, Will Smith did. In that episode, he says he will “stand by my baby no matter what,” followed by Jada’s explanation that she doesn’t “look at it as a transgression at all.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, I look at it as Will Smith being officially spayed and neutered. We have watched the spaying and neutering of Will Smith for the last year, formerly a man who people looked up to as an actor but now a guy who does not have an ounce of manhood left in him. He continues to allow this vile creature to publicly humiliate, embarrass, and shame him. To be clear, I don’t excuse him from any of this. He has obviously agreed to have this relationship, or, lack thereof; they have both continued to maintain appearances in the public eye. But there is nothing left of Will Smith. Jada isn’t a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">wife</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and he isn’t a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">husband</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These words </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/splitting-finances-stop-normalizing-marriages-that-function-like-divorce" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">have sacred meaning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which represent a union that happens under God. But </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/and-they-did-not-live-happily-ever-after-a-modern-love-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">not in Hollywood</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollywood is riddled with frauds. They are everywhere, and we continue to see just how fraudulent they are able to be. The idea that people in Hollywood are aspirational is absurd. All it takes </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youre-not-stuck-youre-allowed-to-be-better" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">to be better</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> than these people is getting up every day, earning an honest living, coming home to family, and living an honest life. That’s it. That’s all it takes for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">anyone</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to be better. </span></p>

<p>Longtime &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Al Roker said he&#8217;s &#8220;glad to be alive&#8221; as he celebrated another trip around the sun this weekend following multiple hospitalizations that kept him off the air for weeks.</p>
<p>The 69-year-old <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/21/al-roker-glad-to-be-alive-on-69th-birthday-following-health-scare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC host</a> of the morning show said he&#8217;s &#8220;more than grateful&#8221; to be celebrating his birthday after he had to be hospitalized before Thanksgiving 2022 when a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/longtime-today-show-host-al-roker-in-the-hospital-explains-absence-from-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blood clot</a> in his leg &#8220;sent some clots into&#8221; his lungs.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is my 69th anniversary of orbiting the sun and after everything that I went through at the end of last year I am more than grateful to be celebrating this birthday,&#8221; Roker said in a video on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwKriQnpkj-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> on Sunday while taking a brisk walk.</p>

<p>&#8220;And to all of you who sent good wishes and well wishes over the past year, god bless you,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Thank you so much. I appreciate it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot to be grateful for on this birthday and [I&#8217;m] glad to be alive,&#8221; Roker continued. &#8220;Thank you and take care. Have a great Sunday!&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the weatherman finally returned to the set of the morning show on January 6 after being hospitalized multiple times for blood clots that took him off the air since mid-November.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/today-show-host-al-roker-give-fans-update-after-being-hospitalized-a-second-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roker</a> finally gave an update after his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/al-roker-finally-returning-to-today-after-multiple-hospitalizations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second hospitalization</a> in December, calling it a &#8220;tough slog. I&#8217;m not going to deny this. It&#8217;s been the hardest one yet, and you know I&#8217;ve had my share of surgeries.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/today-show-host-al-roker-shares-update-with-fans-after-being-hospitalized-for-major-blood-clots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weather personality</a> also admitted that four weeks in the hospital was hard on his body and said he wasn&#8217;t ready to return to the set yet.</p>
<p>&#8220;You lose a certain amount of muscle mass for every week you&#8217;re in the hospital, and I was in the hospital for four weeks,&#8221; Roker explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a certain amount of weakness. I&#8217;m doing physical therapy every day, occupational therapy. I&#8217;ve got to just get my strength back.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Thanksgiving, Roker posted photos on Instagram celebrating that he was out of the hospital after a blood clot in his leg &#8220;sent some clots into&#8221; his lungs.</p>
<p>However, he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/today-show-host-al-roker-rushed-back-to-hospital-after-being-released-in-time-for-thanksgiving" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rushed</a> back to the hospital via ambulance on November 25 after falling ill again. Days later, the &#8220;Today&#8221; show confirmed that Roker was back in the hospital &#8220;due to some complications,&#8221; as they sent well wishes to their co-host.</p>

<p>&#8220;Today&#8221; show contributor Jill Martin opened up about her battle with breast cancer and how her recovery is going after she underwent a double mastectomy weeks after being <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jill-martin-returns-today-says-191231081.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diagnosed</a> in mid-July.</p>
<p>The 47-year-old lifestyle contributor on the morning show said she&#8217;s doing &#8220;okay&#8221; physically after the surgery while noting that emotionally she&#8217;s been on a &#8220;roller coaster,&#8221; calling the last six weeks &#8220;earth-shattering.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I had an aggressive tumor removed, and my surgeon, Dr. Elisa Port, removed 18 lymph nodes, one of which was cancerous,&#8221; Martin wrote in a <a href="https://www.today.com/health/jill-martin-double-mastectomy-surgery-update-rcna98163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal essay</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;They actually test the nodes in real time, so I found out the results of the biopsy when I woke up from the four-hour surgery,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There is always a small possibility that cancerous cells could have escaped, so the rest of the meeting was dedicated to planning out my long road ahead, and what the doctor suggests I do to prevent this insidious disease from coming back.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">NEW: After an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis and a mastectomy, TODAY contributor Jill Martin shares an update on what’s happening next: “I want to share this journey real-time.” <a href="https://t.co/HUzkxBGxdK">https://t.co/HUzkxBGxdK</a> <a href="https://t.co/zmxZff8DKo">pic.twitter.com/zmxZff8DKo</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The NBC morning show contributor also thanked those who have shared their support after she revealed her breast cancer diagnosis, which she said was not detected from those annual checkups but instead from genetic testing. She tested positive for the BRCA2 gene, the gene linked to a significantly higher possibility of developing ovarian or breast cancer, <a href="https://people.com/jill-martin-breast-cancer-double-mastectomy-health-update-7570463" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I received so many DMs, texts, emails, and calls,&#8221; Martin wrote. &#8220;Strangers came up to me on the street saying, &#8220;&#8216;Can I please add you to my prayer list?&#8217; or, &#8216;I am going to get tested because of your story.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t realize how important genetic testing was on both the mother and the father’s side of the family.&#8221;</p>
<p>She talked about how the hardest thing has been watching her family &#8220;Watch me go through this. It shakes a family and a household. The past three weeks have felt like a lifetime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Martin said this week she will meet with her doctor to learn what&#8217;s next in this process. She said she already knows she will have a full hysterectomy to &#8220;decrease the risk of ovarian cancer&#8221; due to &#8220;fibroid issues in the past&#8221; and said she&#8217;ll have to &#8220;take anti-hormonal drugs for 5 years.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I will most likely need chemotherapy because of the aggressiveness of the tumor,&#8221; Martin wrote. &#8220;That is the part that hit me the hardest — the idea of chemo.&#8221;</p>
<p>The host admitted that she&#8217;s &#8220;still in a state of shock&#8221; because everything has happened so fast, but she&#8217;s &#8220;choosing to fight.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Cancer has knocked me down. It has,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I used to jump out of bed every day to begin work, but now every day is a choice. Do I feel like staying under the covers and crying? Yes. Every day. But I did that when I first started recovery &#8230; and little by little, like today, I am choosing to get up. I am choosing to fight.&#8221;</p>

‘Today’ Show Host Gives Update On Cancer Battle After Undergoing Double Mastectomy

Breast Cancer

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Today with Hoda &amp; Jenna” daytime </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television"><span style="font-weight: 400;">television</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> host Hoda Kotb </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">discussed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a recent situation when she turned down her 6-year-old </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/parents"><span style="font-weight: 400;">daughter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s request to wear a crop top shirt that would expose her midriff.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;So Haley wants to wear a mid-drift. She asked me about a mid-drift,&#8221; Kotb said, per </span><a href="https://people.com/hoda-kotb-daughter-haley-interested-wearing-crop-top-7511006"><span style="font-weight: 400;">People</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;A crop top? She said, &#8216;Can I wear a crop top?'&#8221; co-host Jenna Bush Hager replied. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;She was walking down the street and she goes, &#8216;Hi mom,&#8217; and she pulled [her shirt] up halfway. I go, &#8216;What are you doing?&#8217; She&#8217;s like, &#8216;Nothing,&#8217; and she&#8217;s giggling out of her mind,&#8221; Kotb said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bush Hager said all the kids are currently wearing this clothing style, which could explain why Haley wanted to follow the trend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It&#8217;s weird! You want your kids to feel good in your own skin, but isn&#8217;t that a weird thing?&#8221; Kotb asked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I said no. No, we&#8217;re not doing that,&#8221; Kotb replied when Bush Hager asked if Kotb allowed her to wear it. &#8220;You know, I often wrestle with making your kid in charge or in control and then saying no.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We always do the, &#8216;Do you want blueberries or raspberries? Do you want to wear pink or red, you pick! See, you can choose! See you have some control!&#8217; Then I wonder, what are we doing? Even though that&#8217;s what parenting is now, sometimes you wonder if you have one choice&#8230;sometimes it has gotta be no, don&#8217;t you think?&#8221; Kotb said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The daytime host is a mom to Haley and a 3-year-old daughter, Hope. She previously discussed going through the adoption process during a </span><a href="https://people.com/hoda-kotb-recalls-text-from-adoption-agency-that-made-her-emotional-7510615"><span style="font-weight: 400;">podcast interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I think when you realize that that wasn&#8217;t meant for you, or you think that at least initially, it&#8217;s a terrifying part of life because you have to face it,&#8221; Kotb said of motherhood. &#8220;I remember never saying out loud that I wanted kids, never, because it was too late.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;For girls that it&#8217;s too late for, you don&#8217;t say it because if you say it, you&#8217;re expressing something that you&#8217;re never going to get.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Sometimes I wonder like, &#8216;How did this happen?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I used to feel almost undeserving of it. But I don&#8217;t anymore. Something happened within me where I was like, &#8216;You know what, I&#8217;m worthy of these children, I&#8217;m worthy of myself. I&#8217;m enough just as I am. I will nurture and love these little girls, as long as God lets me have them for as long as I&#8217;ll be here.'&#8221;</span></p>

<p>Longtime &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Al Roker made his return to the morning show on Friday and provided new details about the &#8220;life-threatening&#8221; crisis that landed him in the hospital multiple times in the last few months.</p>
<p>During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/al-roker-finally-returning-to-today-after-multiple-hospitalizations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">68-year-old</a> weather personality&#8217;s first appearance back on the NBC daytime show since mid-November, <a href="https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/1611345941985992704?s=20&amp;t=bT-lhHAXEB1ZWAu5HQZKEQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roker talked</a> about how doctors discovered he had lost &#8220;half&#8221; of his blood from two ulcers.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had this internal bleeding going on. I lost half my blood,&#8221; Roker explained. &#8220;And they were trying to figure out where it was. And finally, they went in, did the surgery. I had two bleeding ulcers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roker said doctors ended up having to resection his colon, take out his gallbladder, and more.</p>
<p>He joked he &#8220;went in for one operation [and] got four free.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roker&#8217;s wife Deborah Roberts was on the set too, calling her husband&#8217;s health crisis a &#8220;frightening journey.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not lost on us that this is a major, major thing for Al to be here,&#8221; Roberts shared. &#8220;He is a living, breathing miracle. He really is. And I&#8217;m not overstating it, I don&#8217;t think. Al was a very, very, very sick man and I think most people did not know that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier in the show, Roker&#8217;s co-host made it clear they were thrilled he was back, getting emotional at times, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/01/06/al-roker-details-frightening-medical-crisis-in-today-show-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;The tears are already flowing,&#8221; Savannah Guthrie said. &#8220;Al Roker is back. There he is.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Al, to say we have missed you doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe it,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It is nothing without you here.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The crew is weepy,” Hoda Kotb added. &#8220;The crowd outside has been waiting for you. They&#8217;ve been bummed every day we&#8217;ve walked out there. They&#8217;re like, &#8216;Where is Al?'&#8221;</p>
<p>The TV personality agreed and said, &#8220;I have missed you guys so very much. You are my second family, and it&#8217;s just great to be back. And wearing pants!&#8221;</p>
<p>Roker&#8217;s co-host Savannah Guthrie announced earlier this week that the weather personality was &#8220;coming back to the show&#8221; after initially being hospitalized before Thanksgiving when a blood clot in his leg &#8220;sent some clots into&#8221; his lungs, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/longtime-today-show-host-al-roker-in-the-hospital-explains-absence-from-show">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The TV personality gave fans an update after his second hospitalization in December, calling it a &#8220;tough slog,&#8221; and thanked fans for all their love and support.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, it&#8217;s been a tough slog,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tough-slog-al-roker-finally-gives-fans-an-update-after-being-released-from-the-hospital-for-a-second-time">Roker shared</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to deny this. It&#8217;s been the hardest one yet, and you know I&#8217;ve had my share of surgeries.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Everyone’s like, &#8216;When? When?'&#8221; co-host Hoda Kotb replied, as she shared Roker would be back on set this Friday, January 6.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is his place,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He&#8217;ll be in his seat, right where he belongs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not the same without Al,&#8221; Guthrie added. &#8220;Our sunshine will be coming back Friday morning.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It gives you [a] profound sense of gratitude for this outpouring of prayers and thanks,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I&#8217;m a very fortunate person.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/today-show-host-al-roker-shares-update-with-fans-after-being-hospitalized-for-major-blood-clots">weather personality</a> also admitted that four weeks in the hospital was hard on his body and said he wasn&#8217;t ready to return to the set yet.</p>
<p>&#8220;You lose a certain amount of muscle mass for every week you&#8217;re in the hospital, and I was in the hospital for four weeks,&#8221; Roker explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a certain amount of weakness.

<p>On Thanksgiving, Roker posted photos on Instagram celebrating that he was out of the hospital after a blood clot in his leg &#8220;sent some clots into&#8221; his lungs.</p>

Days later, the &#8220;Today&#8221; show confirmed that Roker was back in the hospital &#8220;due to some complications,&#8221; as they sent well wishes to their co-host.</p>


Al Roker Finally Returning To ‘Today’ After Multiple Hospitalizations

<p>Longtime &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Al Roker didn&#8217;t beat around the bush when he finally gave fans an update about his condition following a second hospitalization in recent weeks.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.today.com/health/al-roker-recovery-update-4-weeks-hospital-rcna61225" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video call</a> from his home on Monday, the 68-year-old weather personality said his recent hospitalizations have been a &#8220;tough slog,&#8221; but thanked fans for all their love and support.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, it&#8217;s been a tough slog,&#8221; Roker shared. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to deny this. It&#8217;s been the hardest one yet, and you know I&#8217;ve had my share of surgeries.&#8221;</p>

<p>The TV personality also thanked his &#8220;Today&#8221; show co-hosts who helped cheer him up when he was in the hospital.</p>
<p>&#8220;You guys have been terrific coming by the hospital,&#8221; Roker shared. &#8220;Hoda was actually, I think, named as an honorary doctor. She would literally show up. She did a &#8216;ho-didni&#8217; the way she would just be there.&#8221;</p>

‘Today’ Show Host Al Roker Give Fans Update After Being Hospitalized A Second Time

<p>Longtime &#8220;Today&#8221; show host Al Roker was rushed back to the hospital via ambulance just a day after being released.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/today-show-host-al-roker-shares-update-with-fans-after-being-hospitalized-for-major-blood-clots">68-year-old</a> popular weather personality fell ill a day after he posted photos on Instagram celebrating that he was finally out of the hospital after being treated for a series of blood clots that started in his legs and moved to his lungs, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/11/30/al-roker-rushed-back-to-hospital-amid-blood-clot-scare/?utm_source=NYPTwitter&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_medium=SocialFlow">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>One witness told the outlet that Roker was &#8220;taken from his home in a stretcher back to the hospital on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital he improved.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;His wife, Deborah, was understandably very upset,&#8221; the person added. &#8220;She had left her phone and other possessions inside their Tesla, which had malfunctioned and wouldn&#8217;t unlock, so she was trying to smash in a window.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Deborah then went to the hospital by taxi with her daughter, where Al has since been surrounded by his family,&#8221; the witness continued.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the &#8220;Today&#8221; show <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CloKbtPLQhx/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D">confirmed</a> that Roker was back in the hospital &#8220;due to some complications,&#8221; as they sent well wishes to their cohost.</p>

<p>In a final post, he shared photos of him with his family enjoying the holiday together. &#8220;So very #thankful to be able to be home for [Thanksgiving] [Dinner] with [Family].&#8221;</p>
<p>Roker revealed his absence from the show November 18 and said that he had been in the hospital after a blood cot in his leg &#8220;sent some clots into&#8221; his lungs, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/longtime-today-show-host-al-roker-in-the-hospital-explains-absence-from-show">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been,&#8221; the &#8220;Today&#8221; show host wrote. &#8220;Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone.&#8221;</p>
