Viewers expecting their usual morning mix of coffee, cheer, and weather updates were met with a shocking turn of events. At precisely 8:13 a.m., beloved TODAY Show host Al Roker suddenly collapsed mid-sentence during his weather report. The broadcast swiftly cut away, but the alarm on set was evident.
Sources close to production said Roker had just returned from a short trip to the Bahamas and appeared to be in good spirits before going live. However, partway through his segment, witnesses reported that he stumbled, grabbed the desk for support, and then collapsed.
“He seemed like he was trying to power through,” a crew member shared. “But when his knees gave out, we immediately knew something was seriously wrong.”
