The “Today” show weatherman posted pictures from the bash –– which included a performance from Earth, Wind & Fire and appearances from several broadcast personalities.

“Still processing the early #surpriseparty @debrobertsabc threw for me celebrating my 70th birthday with family and friends,” Roker captioned a carousel of 20 photos on Instagram Wednesday.

Deborah, 63, added various personal touches to her husband’s party –– including dozens of prop versions of his viral blue glasses, balloons, custom Krispy Kreme doughnuts and old photos of Roker lined along the walls.

At one point, Guthrie was photographed hugging Roker while smiling and wearing a pair of the blue glasses.

Roberts kept the surprises coming by having Earth, Wind & Fire take the stage stage.

Leila posted a sweet black-and-white video of her parents holding each other close, sharing a kiss and dancing to one of the band’s hit songs.

Roker looked dapper in a light purple button-up with a gray plaid blazer over it, while Deborah dazzled in a sleeveless turtleneck white sparkly dress.
