Al Roker is returning to the set of "Today"
after being hospitalized twice due to medical issues he suffered late last
year.
The news
was confirmed by
his fellow co-hosts Savannah
Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.
"Al is
coming back to the show," Guthrie announced Tuesday on the NBC morning
program.
"Everyone's
like, 'When? When?'" added Kotb.
In November,
Roker, 68, said he had been hospitalized because of blood clots
in his legs and lungs.
"After some
medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and
on the way to recovery,” he wrote on Instagram at
the time.
Roker was
discharged before Thanksgiving but weeks later was readmitted to the hospital
due to "complications," Kotb said at the time.
"He's
resting and his doctors are keeping a close eye on him," she said.
"Al and his family want everyone to know how grateful they are for all the
love, the support, and the well wishes."
On Dec. 8, Roker
was released from the hospital for the second time. Days later the TV
personality, who's been with "Today" since 1996, opened up about his
issues.
“Listen, it's
been a tough slog. I'm not going to deny this,” he said, according to
"Today." "It's been the hardest one yet, and you know I've had
my share of surgeries. It gives you a profound sense of gratitude for this
outpouring of prayers and thanks. I'm a very fortunate person."
Speaking on
Tuesday about Roker's return, Kotb said his empty chair was waiting for him.
"This is his
place. He'll be in his seat, right where he belongs," she said, motioning
to an empty space next to her.
"Not the
same without Al," Guthrie added. "Our sunshine will be coming back
Friday morning."
