Happy birthday, Al Roker!  Today our favorite weatherman turns 54. 

We celebrated the momentous occasion over the weekend here in Beijing with dinner at Daniel Boulud's restaurant, Maison Boulud à Pékin, followed lots and lots of karaoke. 

Check out some of the party pics:

 

Al like Ann's birthday present so much, he wore it the entire night!

 

 

Daniel Boulud surprised Al with a special dish.

 

 

Right after finishing his competition, tennis star James Blake joined us for karaoke.

 

 

Al, Peter Alexander, Ann Curry, Amy Robach, Meredith Vieira and Hoda Kotb belt out a group song.
