A TV legend just got his well-earned flowers!
At the 2025 News & Documentary Emmy Awards on Wednesday night, Al Roker was presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating his decades of impact and enduring contributions to broadcast journalism.
For nearly 30 years, Roker has been a trusted presence on NBC’s Today, joining the show in 1996 and later co-hosting its 3rd Hour. His career also includes Wake Up with Al on The Weather Channel and the SiriusXM show Off the Rails. Along the way, he’s earned three Daytime Emmys and the admiration of viewers nationwide.
In true Al fashion, he accepted the honor with humility and gratitude.
“This recognition really is truly the honor of a lifetime — a lifetime of happy accidents and good fortune,” he shared in his speech.
Well deserved! Congrats Mr. Roker!
