Al Roker was so surprised by the birthday party his wife threw for him

“Still processing the early #surprise party @debrobertsabc threw for me to celebrate my 70th birthday with family and friends. I feel much more comfortable giving the party than welcoming it. This was overwhelming and I still can’t quite comprehend it,” the longtime weatherman wrote on Instagram, sharing photos from the event at City Winery in New York City.

Friends, family and colleagues came together to celebrate Al Roker

All three of Roker’s children – Courtney, Leila and Nicholas – were there, as well as celebrity friends such as Gayle King and colleagues such as Craig Melvin and Savannah Guthrie. Understandably, Roker’s granddaughter Sky did not attend the party, but she had received a special visit from her “grandpa” just weeks earlier and seen Roker at work.

At a performance on July 16 at TODAYRoker praised his daughter Courtney and son-in-law Wes (Sky’s parents) for their parenting. “I’m very proud of my daughter and son-in-law,” he revealed. “They’re amazing parents and have raised this incredibly happy baby so far who is just very content and very experimental when it comes to food and just a very, very lovely, happy personality. So it’s like saying, ‘Whatever you’re doing, you’re doing a great job.'”
