Former producer Bill Schultz claimed Al Roker and his company fired him for criticizing the failure to properly adopt diversity initiatives on his show.

Al Roker and his company were accused in a lawsuit filed Tuesday of failing to follow a diversity, equity and inclusion mandate. Former executive producer Bill Schultz is suing the 'Today' show anchor and Al Roker Entertainment, claiming he was 'wrongfully and illegally targeted' for termination in 2023 after calling out the company’s failure to properly follow a diversity initiative, according to a court document The Hollywood Reporter published.

He was later sent a notice accusing him of what the suit described as 'fabricated' contractual breaches and was suspended and fired soon after.
