Roker thanked everyone on Instagram for their support ahead of the special. “So many of you have thoughtfully inquired as to my whereabouts.

Last week, I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg that had spread to my lungs “He wrote.

“After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers and hope to see you soon.”
