‘Today Show’ Fans Declare Thanksgiving Cancelled

Today Show fans are declaring Thanksgiving canceled. On Thursday morning, they took to Twitter to talk about the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Some are disappointed with this year’s broadcast. Fans feel there is “no point” in celebrating Thanksgiving this year. Find out why they want to cancel the holiday.

Al Roker misses first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

In 27 years, Al Roker missed his first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, the Today Show fan favorite went missing from the event. He is recovering from multiple blood clots in his legs and lungs. The co-host went to the hospital after the scary medical encounter.

On Thanksgiving Day, his fellow co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb kicked off the festivities. They paid respect to their friend, who is at home recovering. Dylan Dreyer is filling in for Al, as she takes on the streets of New York City.

“For the past 27 parades, at this moment, we’d turn to Al Roker, our Today Show colleague and our best pal, as a lot of you have heard, Al’s recovering, and he’s recovering very well from a recent medical issue,” Hoda said at the beginning of the holiday special. “We just want to say we love you, Al. Wonder if you’re watching? But, we wish you a full recovery.”

Savannah added: “We love you, Al. We’ll see you next year!” The pair took it over to Dylan Dreyer, who filled in Al in the Upper West Side. On Friday, November 18, Al took to Instagram to share his medical diagnosis with his fans and followers. He received support from his Today Show family, including celebrities such as Holly Robinson Peete, Octavia Spencer, and The View co-host Sara Haines.
