The Proud Family Wiki

Albert Lincoln Roker Jr. (born August 20, 1954) is an American weather forecaster, journalist, television personality, actor, and author. He is the current weather anchor on NBC's Today. Roker also serves as co-host on 3rd Hour Today, although the latter was not officially announced by NBC News. He has an inactive American Meteorological Society Television Seal #238. In The Proud Family, Roker appears as a sort of antagonistic weatherman, that has magical powers and grants wishes

Physical Appearance[]

Being based on the TV Weatherman, Al's original appearance is seen as a portly, balding African American male that mainly wears glasses and a navy blue suit, but is able to swap into different outfits with the usage of his powers.

In Louder and Prouder, this version of Roker now closely resembles his current real-life appearance, now being completely bald with red colored glasses.

Personality[]

Al Roker's character is somewhat complicated. At first glance, Al seems like a very nice and polite man who's just doing his job forecasting the weather, but this is mainly a facade to hide his cruel, manipulative, and mean-spirited nature of making people's lives miserable through the results of his wish-making abilities. But then he has a soft spot, and intentionally leaves open loopholes that allow people to break out of their wishes if ever they become unsatisfied with the results. Ultimately, his goal is to teach Penny valuable lessons such as being appreciative of what she has and to be careful what she wishes for.

History[]

Roker has starred in two episodes of The Proud Family. Those being Tween Town and the other being From Twins to Tweens. In both episodes, Roker is more comparable to a genie as he possesses mythical powers that can change anything making him one of the few characters in The Proud Family to be considered even more powerful than Wizard Kelly himself. Despite this, Roker finds himself being bossed around by Penny Proud who he twice granted undesirable wishes for which nearly ruined her reality both times. Penny eventually threatens Roker to change things back to normal.

He appears to be quite evil at times as he captured all the adults in Wizville and made them his slaves and tried to even take BeBe and CeCe away from Penny after defeating her in a game of double dutch in her attempt to win back her parents' from Roker's sweatshop. However, Roker has a soft side and intentionally left a loophole in his contract leaving an avenue for things to be changed back to normal in case the wisher (in this case Penny) regrets his or her wish.

Roker makes his return in Louder and Prouder's When You Wish Upon a Roker, now offering his services to Penny for the third time by wishing for herself and her friends to be all aged up in a college setting.

Trivia[]

  • Roker breaks the forth wall when he asks Penny if she's been in middle school for 20 years.
  • He's implied to be a demon, since he mentions The Man Downstairs has to give approval. And let's not forget that any "deal with the devil" must satisfy the contractee's desire or its void. Hence why Roker added a clause in the sequel series to trick Penny.
