Al Roker says he expects to return to NBC’s “Today” show next Monday following his surgery for prostate cancer last week, which means he’ll also be back on the air in time to handle his annual duties hosting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Roker gave an update from home in a Tuesday interview with his “Today” colleagues Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, who were in the studio. Roker’s physician, Dr. Vincent Laudone of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, also appeared.
Laudone said that, based on lab results, it appears Roker’s cancer was isolated to his prostate and removed, giving him “an excellent prognosis.”
