Al Roker returned to the TODAY show Friday after dealing with medical issues since November.

The TODAY weatherman was hospitalized twice in the past couple of months due to complications with blood clots.

Roker was unable to cover than annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in more than 25 years.

On Dec. 14 a crowd of TODAY anchors, crew and producers gathered outside his home for Christmas carols, and TODAY said the heartwarming gesture brought Al to tears.

“I’ve missed you all so, so very much, all these faces,” he said. “It just means the world to me and to our family and my Deborah, who’s just been my rock. I thank you so much. I really appreciated it.”

Roker finally reunite with his TODAY family in studio 1A Friday morning.
