LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After undergoing knee replacement surgery, 'Today' host Al Roker seems to be enjoying himself. In a recent episode, the show featured pop star Kim Petras after her Citi Concert, and Al Roker and the other hosts joined her for margaritas on live TV, adding to the fun atmosphere.

During a recent ‘Today’ segment, host Al Roker seems to have been getting drunk on-air as he reportedly sipped margaritas with co-hosts Craig Melvin and Savannah Sellers joined by pop star Kim Petras. The 30-year-old German singer and songwriter recently released her album ‘Feed the Beast’ and celebrated the launch during her Citi Concert. Petras earned massive success from her recent release of ‘Unholy’ with Sam Smith which won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. To celebrate the release of her new album, Petras performed on the ‘Today’ show and talked about her album with morning show hosts Roker, Melvin, and Sellers while sipping on margaritas.

Al Roker’s drunk morning on ‘Today’

On the ‘Today’ show, Al Roker had quite the time with his co-hosts and their guest, pop star Kim Petras, following her Citi Concert. Roker, 68, Melvin, 44, and Seller, 27 talked with Petras, who also performed live at the Today Plaza for her fans before sitting down with the hosts to discuss her latest album and her music career. By the end of the interview, Roker seemingly downed most of his drink, despite it being the early hours of the morning. Melvin jokingly teased, “This morning is presented to you by tequila,” to which Roker responded, “Woo!”

Al Roker’s post-surgery fun

Weeks after Roker’s knee replacement surgery, it appears he has fully recovered. He is notably seen drinking alcohol on the show and appeared to be back to good health. Roker also enjoyed a date night with his wife Deborah Roberts, who he has been married to for 27 years. He shared his love for her on his Instagram post during a date night at Raf’s in New York City. He shared a selfie outside a restaurant, happily posing next to Deborah. The French and Italian eatery had a cozy atmosphere with dim lights, elegant tablecloths, and beautiful flowers. He seemed to have chosen a salad and steak for his meal, and he and Deborah had the opportunity to take a photo with the restaurant staff in the kitchen. In his caption, Al expressed his delight with the dining experience, “Had an amazing meal tonight at a new spot downtown called Raf's New York run by a powerhouse quartet.”
