Al Roker released from hospital after blood clots, misses first Thanksgiving parade in 27 years

“Today” show star Al Roker was discharged from a hospital Thursday as he recovers from blood clots, shortly after he missed his first Thanksgiving parade in nearly three decades.

The Queens-born meteorologist returned home six days after announcing his hospitalization for a blood clot in his leg that caused clots in his lungs as well.

“So much to be #thankful for on the #thanksgiving day,” Roker, 68, captioned an Instagram video showing him walking down a hospital hallway. “Leaving the hospital and home for #thanksgivingdinner.”
