It's a big day over at Al Roker's household, as he is celebrating his 69th birthday this August 20th!
The beloved Today Show weatherman celebrated his birthday surrounded by family in his second home away from New York City in the Hudson Valley.
While he took the weekend to relax and enjoy all of the birthday love and celebrations from his family, he did take a moment to share a glimpse of the festivities with his fans, and share his appreciation for them.
Over the weekend, Al took to Instagram to share with his followers snippets from his birthday weekend, starting off with the impressive gift his wife Deborah Roberts made him as he rang in another year around the sun.
The news host shared a video from his Hudson Valley backyard of what he calls his "Ring of Fire," (his assortment of BBQ and grilling appliances) which just got a new addition thanks to his wife.

Fittingly set to Johnny Cash's hit 1963 song "Ring of Fire," Al revealed that the newest addition is a Blackstone griddle, which was recently further popularized by beloved TikTok account Cooking with Darryl.
Now Al is all set for some delicious outdoor cooking, thanks to his new Blackstone griddle, a Kamado grill, a stone pizza oven, a Big Green Egg, and a classic Hasty Bake charcoal grill.
