AceShowbiz - Al Roker had to make another visit to a hospital amid his ongoing health scare due to blood clots. The "Today" weathercaster was reportedly hospitalized once again just 24 hours after being released.
A source told Page Six that the 68-year-old was taken away by ambulance to the uptown Manhattan hospital. Meanwhile, his wife Deborah Roberts tried to break into their malfunctioned Tesla to retrieve her mobile phone to follow him.
Deborah allegedly attempted to "smash her way through a reinforced glass window on the front side of the car with the help of a neighbor outside their Upper East Side home," according to witnesses.
One witness told the outlet, "Al was taken from his home in a stretcher back to the hospital on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving." The onlooker continued, "His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital, he improved."
"His wife, Deborah, was understandably very upset. She had left her phone and other possessions inside their Tesla, which had malfunctioned and wouldn't unlock, so she was trying to smash in a window," said the witness. Noting that Deborah's attempt was "unsuccessful," the informant added, "Deborah then went to the hospital by taxi with her daughter, where Al has since been surrounded by his family."
Al, who was supposed to host Wednesday's Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting, greeted his fans on social media on November 24 after being discharged from the hospital. At that time, he shared a photo of him watching his colleagues, Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, hosting Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
"Back home in time to catch a little bit of the #macysthanksgivingdayparade," he penned in the caption. "Missing being next to @savannahguthrie and @hodakotb."
