Al Roker: My First Big Break

Al Roker appears on NBC's "Today" Show, has his own show "Wake Up with Al" on The Weather Channel, owns his own production company "Al Roker Entertainment," has co-authored three mystery novels, written a couple of cookbooks, and a has penned a couple of New York Times Bestsellers.
