Now Al Roker is the one who is off from the show, being subbed in by fellow Third Hour co-host Dylan Dreyer this week.

Al’s departure, however, is a happier one as he gets to spend time on vacation with his wife Deborah Roberts and his son Nick, who they picked up from college for spring break.

Hoda and Savannah recently returned to Today

Dylan has previously stepped up for her fellow NBC meteorologist on several occasions, most recently when Al had been hospitalized after blood clots had been discovered in his lungs and was away from the show over the holiday season.

While Hoda and Savannah were away and fans worried for them, Al exclusively shared with HELLO! a message for his co-stars that presented a united front.

“The great part is that [we’re] kind of like The Hard Rock Cafe, ‘love all-[serve] all’,” he said. “We’re a family, so we take care of each other in times like this.

The NBC hosts are an incredibly close-knit group

“I got to see it firsthand after my illness, and it’s just what we do. That’s why I love working with these folks. It’s a real blessing, the power of positive thoughts and prayer. I’m living proof of that.”
