Al Roker revealed on Friday that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and will soon undergo surgery to have his prostate removed.
Roker has been with Today since 1990, when he occasionally filled in for Willard Scott and Bryant Gumbel.
Roker was also joined by his surgeon, Dr. Vincent Laudone, who gave a more thorough report on Roker’s prognosis.
The 66-year-old Today show meteorologist made the announcement during the 8 am hour, where he was joined by colleagues Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Carson Daly and Craig Melvin.
