Viewers of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade can’t help but ask, “How tall is Al Roker?” During Thursday’s live broadcast of the 98th annual parade, viewers were left searching for answers after seeing the 70-year-old journalist seen sitting next to Today Show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

Al Roker fans wonder how tall he is and joke that the journalist needs a “booster seat” at Macy’s Parade

During the Thanksgiving parade, Roker appeared to sit in a smaller chair than his co-hosts, as he appeared noticeably shorter than them. This led viewers to wonder how big the weather report actually is. At 5 feet 8 inches, the NBC host is the shortest among his co-hosts, with Guthrie being the tallest at 5 feet 10 inches, followed by Kotb, who stands 5 feet 9 inches.

Several others joined in the comedic reaction, with another user saying: “You really get a feel for how big Savannah and Hoda are when they sit next to Al Roker.” “They really did Al Roker dirty with that little chair . He is a national treasure and should be sitting in a nice, tall, comfortable chair in the middle. Get Nepo Savannah out of there and give him his place. #MacysParade,” said another.
