Al Roker is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.

Popular television host-actor-author Al Roker (The Today Show, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Roker, a cultural icon

Born Albert Lincoln Roker, Jr. in Queens on August 20, 1954, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Roker's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Al hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Al Roker as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Al, you're the best!
