Al Roker Co-Hosts Thanksgiving Day Parade After Undergoing Prostate Cancer Surgery

Al Roker is on the mend! The 66-year-old TV anchor co-hosted the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday (November 26), and viewers were relieved to see him on-air as usual.

His appearance comes just two weeks after undergoing a five-hour surgery for prostate cancer. Al appeared in a series of photos shared by the Today Twitter account, and can be seen posing with plenty of celebrity guests, including Jimmy Fallon. “After a routine check-up in September, turns out I have prostate cancer.

And it’s a good news-bad news kind of thing. The good news is we caught it early, not great news is that it’s a little aggressive so I’m going to be taking some time off to take care of this,” he explained earlier in the month.
