Al Roker shared a post on his Instagram account. In the video, he can be seen sneaking up on Bill Nye backstage at a climate change conference. Bill Nye, who is 68 years old, greets Al in the clip and mentions that he is the television meteorologist who began discussing climate change before anyone else.

After taking a break for fun and work, Roker had a longer absence in November 2022 due to being hospitalized with blood clots in his legs and lungs.

Unfortunately, he was hospitalized again the following month due to complications during his recovery.

Despite the scary experience, Al Roker considers himself lucky to have received prompt treatment. He knows he is fortunate to be alive. According to a source in January 2023, ahead of his return to Today, Roker has shown great bravery throughout his ordeal.

During his first show back later that month, he mentioned that the operation was more complicated as they had to remove and then replace his knee, as well as add some other things. However, he also mentioned that the recovery process is going well.
