On Instagram, Al recently revealed that he would be attending the Musial Awards. Now, the Musial Awards take place in St Louis, Missouri at Maryville University. And, the award ceremony was scheduled to happen on Christmas Eve. The studio for The Today Show, on the other hand, is located in the Rockefeller Center in New York City.
“The Musial Awards, a night of honoring extraordinary sportsmanship and celebrating the best in humanity, airs on CBS and is a perfect heartwarming way to get into the holiday spirit.”
As incredible as Al Roker is, he’s not capable of being in two places at the same time. Having to work around those traveling during the holidays, fans suspect Al Roker may have missed out on Friday’s episode because he was making plans to travel to St Louis for the award ceremony.
No Cause For Concern
Now, some media outlets speculated Al was out of the studio because of his health. Given his age and his health struggles this time last year, it was an easy story to believe. Just a few days ago, however, Al Roker was boasting about how he had managed to walk 10K steps a day for the past two months.
Al Roker was feeling better than ever. And, he was beyond impressed with his health and well-being right now. Likewise, Al was also living his life to the fullest and trying to appreciate every moment of the holidays.
