Welcome to The List,
Al Roker was hospitalized earlier this month due to blood clots in his leg and lungs . . . but he was released just in time for Thanksgiving. However, on Friday, he had to be rushed back to the hospital. A source says, quote, “His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital he improved.” Al is still in the hospital, so he missed last night’s lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center . . . just like he missed last week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 27 years.
