Al Roker, 'Today' anchor, hospitalized again after 'complications' - USA TODAY

Al Roker is back in the hospital due to "complications" less than a week after being released during a blood clot scare. .

"Today" show co-anchor Hoda Kotb announced Thursday that Roker returned to the hospital and is in "very good" care. .

In previous years, Roker has been a staple of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with sideline interviews and funny commentary throughout the procession. His absence last week marked the first time he's missed the parade in 27 years.
