One person wrote, “Is Al Roker ill? Hasn’t been on Instagram or on the Today show. Worried.” Deborah replied, “Ahh thanks for this. He’s a bit under the weather but ok.” The original poster responded, “that’s good to hear. Wishing him a speedy recovery.”
Other fans expressed their own well-wishes. “Tell Al, I’ve really missed him and hope he is on the mend!” someone wrote. Another commented, “Love your posts but missing Al on the Today Show. Hope he’s okay.”
