On Thanksgiving, Roker was released from the hospital, and he shared a photo of himself celebrating the holiday with his family. But Page Six reports he was "rushed back" to the hospital the next day.
"Al was taken from his home in a stretcher back to the hospital on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving," a witness told Page Six. "His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital, he improved."
Roker also missed the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting on Nov. 30, with Mario Lopez stepping in to fill in for him.
Kotb said Thursday that "we all wish Al could have been with us" for the tree lighting, but she noted that she and anchor Craig Melvin "had a chance to FaceTime him from the parade, and he gave us a big thumbs up." Melvin added, "We will see you back here soon, my friend."
