Filed under: Television

NBC has announced that 'Today Show' weatherman Al Roker and 'Access Hollywood' anchor Shaun Robinson will co-host their coverage of the '122nd Tournament of Roses Parade' from Pasadena, California on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2011.

Roker, who also hosts 'Roker on the Road' and 'Tricked-Out Tailgating' for The Food Network, has co-hosted the '122nd Tournament of Roses Parade' thirteen previous times.

Robinson, who released the self-help tome, 'Exactly As I Am' (Ballantine Books) last year, hosted the parade once before.

The theme of this year's parade is "Building Dreams, Friendships and Memories" and Food Network star Paula Deen will serve as grand marshal.

NBC has been broadcasting the New Year's Day parade for 84 years, beginning on radio in 1927 and then televising the event beginning in 1954.

The parade, which will be live from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET, can also be seen on ABC, HGTV, Hallmark Channel and other local affiliates.
