ARE YOU OK? Al Roker CHANGES jobs as Today makes WORRYING ANNOUNCEMENT about host’s health in ‘DANGEROUS’ location

Earlier this week, the meteorologist said the air was dangerous, but proceeded to report outside, despite his ongoing health issues

AL Roker has changed location on The Today Show after fans feared for his health.

He reported from outside the Manhattan studio in the bad air quality that hovered over New York City.

 

Earlier in the week, he discussed the bad air quality from the Canadian forest fires.

The meteorologist discussed the dangers of them and the air as he stood outside and reported the weather.

Fans feared for Al, due to his ongoing health crises, such as blood clots and knee replacements.

The air must have gotten to him because on Friday, the 68-year-old reported on the weather from inside the studio.

He also talked to Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin about the air quality and sat at the desk to discuss it.

Al said that New York was down to a 59 on the air quality scale, which was moderate, but he still took precautions.

WORRIES FOR AL

Fans took to the Today page on Twitter to express their concern for Al.

“Please bring @alroker back inside. He’s been through so much with his health. Cringing as I watch him broadcasting from outside,” commented a Twitter user.

“Al should have a mask on with his health issues outside,” said a fan.

A third chimed in: “Yikes. Bring everyone inside.”

“I’m so scared for Al. Can he go back inside?” asked another fan.

“Shouldn’t everyone be wearing masks?” asked a concerned fan.

‘DISAPPOINTED’

Today was slammed for making “dangerous” decisions and using “poor judgment.”

After Al reported the weather from outside, the rest of the hosts came out to join him on June 7.

Al shared a photo on on Instagram of himself chatting with a fan outside the Today Show studio.

“A little haze and smoke doesn’t obscure the smiles on our @todayshow plaza or dim these @photonate pics,” he captioned the image.

The photo didn’t show, however, the orange-tinted smog floating around the city.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada has been hovering over parts of the Northeast, including New York.

The hundreds of fires have contributed to unhealthy levels of air pollution.

New York City had registered some of its worst air quality readings in years.

Seeing Al and other Today Show hosts outside without masks made fans concerned.

Under a video posted to Twitter, a concerned fan wrote: “As you know, it is dangerous to your health, so please at the very least mask up. Indoor air quality can be poor too.”

Another commented: “Was disappointed that the Today show filmed outside this am in the continuing air quality issue….seems like poor judgment?? Worst in the world! Air quality, and yet you send your people outside??”
