Al Roker and his wife Deborah Roberts have a lot to celebrate beyond the release of the latter's new book, which she has been promoting on several network shows recently.
It was revealed on the Today Show during Wednesday's installment that Al, 68, and Deborah, 62, will both be part of the newest batch of journalists inducted into the Broadcasting + Cable Hall of Fame.
According to the organizing committee: "Receiving the coveted Hall of Fame honor is more than the acknowledgement of a successful career – it's entry into an exclusive community of honorees that have truly changed the paradigm of the industry."

Hoda Kotb shared the good news by saying: "You are receiving a huge honor. Our friend, Mr. Al Roker, is being inducted into the Broadcasting + Cable Hall of Fame!"
