Al Roker seems to be doing well after he was seen happily co-hosting the 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The 66-year-old journalist celebrated Thanksgiving by co-hosting the parade event along with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. He took part in the parade two weeks after undergoing prostate cancer surgery.
The Today show shared a series of photographs in a tweet, in which Roker is seen behind-the-scenes posing with a few guests, including Jimmy Fallon and Tori Kelly. In another picture, he reunites with the “Butter Man” after their playful feud on Thanksgiving special in 2019.
In yet another picture, the TV weatherman is seen solo, “standing below a giant superhero-themed balloon float as he dons a mask amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic,” PEOPLE wrote.
At the start of the parade, Roker was seen cutting the ribbon to of the famous parade alongside Macy’s CEO, Jeff Gennette, sharing, “It may not be the parade we wanted, but this year, it’s the parade we need.”
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade looked a bit different, as people had to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.
Dolly Parton, Ally Brooke, Leslie Odom Jr., Jimmie Allen and Noah Cyrus, Patti LaBelle, Pentatonix, Bebe Rexha and Jordin Sparks were also a part of the parade, according to PEOPLE.
Earlier this week, Roker made his return to the set of Today show after undergoing a five-hour surgery for his prostate cancer, giving a health update with his co-hosts.
He said during the broadcast on Monday, “Great medical care and the love of friends and family — it goes a long way. Actually I was hoping I looked a little better.”
Guthrie was particularly seen excited having Roker back to the set. She said, “We’re all together. And we can be happy because our Al has returned to studio 1A. … It was two weeks ago you had surgery for prostate cancer and look at you now!”
Adding with a laugh, Roker thanked everyone for the support and said that he feels good. “Let me tell you, after that first week you can get that catheter out,” he said. “I’m feeling good!” The article originally appeared on PEOPLE.
