Is Al Roker of The Today Show dead? In the past 24 hours, a trend on Twitter has caused the internet to panic and believe their favorite meteorologist was dead. Turns out, the concern started yesterday when a rather confusing headline referencing Al Roker’s wife Deborah Roberts, and a blood clot death caused everyone to believe he had passed away.

Making things worse, many caught wind of this story and started to discuss Al Roker’s passing on Twitter. Looping him in with Bob Saget, many have argued Al Roker also died from blood clots caused by a COVID vaccine. Now, to be clear, there hasn’t been anything reported — with proof — to suggest Bob Saget died because of the COVID vaccine. That’s just what people are talking about on Twitter.

Is Al Roker of The Today Show dead?

During the first week of November, Al Roker mysteriously disappeared from The Today Show. It wasn’t until he was absent for two weeks that news broke of him being hospitalized. Sadly, everyone’s favorite anchor just hadn’t been feeling well and had been off the air for a week weeks to deal with health issues. Because Al Roker is such a happy and energetic man, people tend to forget he’s nearly 70.

The internet began to panic as “Al Roker dead” started to trend on Twitter. Many began to talk about him as if he was already dead. Because he had been struggling with his health so much during these past few weeks, it was an easy rumor for people to believe.
