Roker has been a weather presenter on "Today" since 1996.

Dreyer has been taking Roker's place for the past few weeks. Dreyer and Guthrie, Melvin and Kotb, along with Carson Daly, sent a supportive message to their fellow anchor on Friday's episode.

Guthrie stated, "He is in good spirits, and we've all spoken to him," while Kotb said, "He is in great spirits."

"Not that we need to tell you how amazing Al is, but the first time that I called him, he said, "Hey Dylly Dill. How are the boys?" Dreyer replied. Dreyer said, "How are they going to ask about their children?" This is classic Al.

Daly joked about Roker's motivation to keep him up for his workouts. Guthrie ended their message by saying that it was hard to slow down Al, but that he is on the mend. We love you Al, even though I don't know if Roker watches this show. We miss you."
