On Thursday’s show, Dylan Dreyer took Al’s place during the POPStart segment.
She also sat in for Al during the third hour of TODAY, where she was joined by Sheinelle Jones and Craig Melvin.
Al has not been on the show for the whole week and none of the co-hosts have given a reason as to why he is out.
Earlier this month, he participated in the Start Today Walking Challenge, which encourages people to walk or run three miles in six weeks.
He had to go to Orlando, FL, for the challenge, and may still be there.
However, fans do not know because the TODAY meteorologist has been very quiet on social media.
Aside from posting about a men’s health article early on Thursday, Al has not posted anything since November 3.
On his Instagram, he posted a photo of the moon over the weekend, but no personal updates.

WHERE’S AL?
Fans have began to show concern for Al as no answer has been provided on his whereabouts.
“@TODAYshow where’s @alroker? He’s the best person on the whole show,” tweeted one fan.
“Hey @TheTodayShow, where is the #68th Sexiest Man In The World @alroker?” asked another.
Al was recently featured in the newest issue of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive, as the Sexiest Television Host Alive.
A third simply asked: “Where’s Al Roker?”
“Where’s Al? I hope he’s ok,” another fan asked.
IS HE AL-RIGHT?
Al’s absence comes after he had “strange” on-air moments on live TV.

Last week, Al’s co-host Carson Daly clapped back at him after Al interrupted him during a segment.
The co-hosts talked about the new Christmas Story sequel, and Al shouted an iconic line from the first film, shocking everyone.
On Wednesday’s show, during the POPStart segment, Carson aired a preview for A Christmas Story Christmas.
Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley, is all grown up and determined to make an unforgettable Christmas for his kids.
Set 30 years later, some original characters are returning to honor Ralphie’s father, who sadly passed away.
After the clip played, Carson let everyone know when the movie would start streaming and Al screamed, “Bumpuses!” in the middle of his report.
While Carson kept a straight face and continued on talking, his other co-hosts- Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Craig- all cracked up at his outburst.
Bumpuses was the name of Ralphie’s neighbors, who always let their dogs into his family’s house, and ate their Christmas meal.
His dad would scream “Bumpuses!” out the open door.
BREAK IT UP!
Another strange moment that Al shared recently was when he and Craig exchanged an NSFW dialogue.
A big topic of discussion on the episode was the size of airplane seats and how senators want to stop them from getting smaller.
Al led the segment on travel while his co-hosts grinned around him.
“Getting ready for travel for the holidays. A frequent complaint of flyers is shrinkage in airline seats,” he said.
“The shrinkage, Jerry!” Craig yelled and Al repeated the joke after him.
Their outburst was a line from the TV show Seinfeld.
Craig couldn’t compose himself as Al kept talking about shrinkage.
“Several senators want the FAA to put a stop to the shrinkage,” Al added.
