Al Roker Celebrates His Birthday with Oprah Winfrey

Today marks a special occasion for Al Roker as he celebrates his birthday with a preview of his birthday dinner with Oprah Winfrey. As promised, Al will share some of Oprah’s insights on aging. The Today meteorologist gave fans a peek into their delightful garden BBQ, capturing moments of camaraderie and wisdom.

On August 20, Al Roker celebrates his 70th birthday. He has been eagerly counting down the days on social media, and over the weekend, he received a memorable gift—a private dinner with Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah, who also turned 70 earlier this year, joined Al for a garden BBQ. The photos depict a cozy setting with both of them seated at a table in a picturesque garden. Al captioned the moments, “Talk about a great birthday present. The one and only Oprah shares #lifelessons about turning #70. Still processing the conversation. It was that good.”

Among the shared photos were images of Oprah and Al toasting each other and Al taking center stage at the grill. One touching snapshot features Oprah posing with Al, his wife Deborah Roberts, their dog, and son Nicholas.

Fans can look forward to more of this joyous celebration as Al’s birthday dinner with Oprah will be aired on Tuesday’s episode of Today, forming a key part of his on-air birthday festivities.

In the lead-up to Al’s milestone 70th birthday, celebrations have been in full swing. His wife, Deborah Roberts, had already set the celebratory tone with an early birthday party last week, attended by several notable names in broadcasting. Among the attendees were Savannah Guthrie from Today, Gayle King from CBS Mornings, and Robin Roberts from Good Morning America.

Al’s three children, Courtney, Leila, and Nicholas, also marked their presence at the celebration held at City Winery in New York City. Deborah shared multiple snapshots from the event, captioning one of them, “Let the birthday countdown begin for Al Roker. We love and appreciate you so much that we simply had to begin celebrating early!! Let’s keep dancing into the next week and your new decade.”

The birthday post didn’t just capture the attention of guests but also drew heartfelt wishes from the comment section. Viola Davis, the award-winning actress, wrote, “Wooooohoooo!!!!! Happiest of birthdays Al!! What a blessed man you are!!” Jenna Bush Hager expressed her sentiments too, writing, “So gorgeous! So sorry to miss! Love you both.” Actress and author Holly Robinson Peete also added, “So awesome! I wish we could’ve been there.”

Al Roker’s road to this celebration hasn’t been without its hurdles. In recent years, he faced significant health issues, including life-threatening blood clots in his legs. Despite these challenges, Al seems to be embracing life fully at 70.

In a May interview with The U.S. Sun, he shared his positive outlook, “Everything’s great. Yeah, I feel good. I’ve been getting out, walking, and now the warm weather is coming, so, you know, I mean, we didn’t really have a spring, but that’s okay. It’s all good, it’s all good.”

Wishing a very happy birthday to Al Roker!
