He’ll be here Friday.
He’ll be right here in Studio 1A.
This is his place.
He’ll be in his seat right where he belongs.
Our sunshine is coming back Friday morning.”
In a virtualTodayappearance in mid-December, Roker updated viewers on his condition.
“But it gives you a profound sense of gratitude for this outpouring of prayers and thanks.
I’m a very fortunate person.”
Still, he said, “I feel good, I feel strong.
And every day, I feel a little bit better.”
So it’s just a certain amount of weakness…
I’ve got to just get my strength back."
