May he rest in peace....

"One of Al Roker's most public tragedies came when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2020. Roker announced the news on "Today," sharing he'd undergo a five-hour surgery the next week to remove his prostate. "It's a good news-bad news kind of thing. Good news is we caught it early. Not great news is that it's a little aggressive, so I'm going to be taking some time off to take care of this," he shared, noting he decided to make his diagnosis public in the hopes of highlighting the issue amongst other Black men."

The article doesn't say what he died from.

Steve, has Mr. Roker passed away? Can't find anything about it on Google and I think I saw him on TV last week.

Steve, I don't think that article is an obit. He's announced as a host on a Today Show broadcast this Friday, May 20th.

Djin is correct; that headline is misleading

The guy used to be HUGE.

This is a story about his issues, not his death.

And yes, he used to be huge, he had bariatric surgery and lost a ton of weight, he works out hard every day with a personal trainer. As far as i know he is fine, i didnt read the entire article just the first page, but i haven't heard anything other than he's fine. Correct me if i am wrong

there was a debunked hoax about his death last year

Well don't I feel silly. Guess that's how rumors start.

I mainly only watch NBC News and see him all the time... Can't wait to see what color hos glasses are... Guess that will will continue.

Msn.com is full of click bait misleading headlines that look official. They are Ad traps. and shouldn't be clicked on.
