Early on during Friday’s broadcast when Hoda Kotb and Savannah would normally welcome viewers to the show, Savannah was revealed to be out for the day.
Willie Geist had been called in to take her place instead.
“Willie is in for Savannah this morning,” Hoda announced as the show got underway.
Later, during the third hour of Today, Hoda returned with Willie and Sheinelle Jones.
“We’ve got Sheinelle, we’ve got Willie Geist of course, in for Craig and Savannah,” Hoda announced as she introduced everyone to the show.
However, no one indicated why both hosts were suddenly nowhere to be found when they had been on set recently.
They had shown no sign of sickness.
It’s possible both could have been working on other projects outside of the Today Show.
SAD SAV
Recently, Savannah choked back tears after announcing her new book.
Her co-hosts took a moment to give her time to properly reveal it.
“This is a very personal project you’ve been working on for quite a while, and today’s the day you get to tell us about it!” Hoda Kotb said as she gave Savannah the floor.
“Today is the day, it’s so personal, and I’m so nervous, but you know, you guys all know, you’re closest to me, and I’m so passionate about faith, how it can challenge us and inspire us” Savannah began.
“It is at the heart of a new project that I’m excited to reveal right now,” she added as her voice cracked a bit.
She introduced her new book called Mostly What God Does alongside a clip featuring Hoda as she’s seen exploring faith and how different people experience and celebrate it.
When the clip ended, Savannah explained that the book comes out February 20 and that it’s a “bunch of reflections on faith, love, kindness, and goodness.”
“I’m in tears, but really excited, overjoyed and scared,” she said as she was barely able to hold back her tears.
“I hope it will be full of love and happiness for everyone,” she said as she started softly crying by the end of the segment.
SEXY SAV
Last week, Savannah showed off her toned legs in a skintight pair of leather pants.
The Today anchor hosted the Thanksgiving Day Parade with her co-hosts.
She wore a red jacket to keep warm, along with black leather pants, and black boots.
She added black finger-less gloves with white accents.
Savannah had a black shirt on underneath her jacket.
The mother of two wore her hair partially back with a white bow clipping the side back.
The Today host then switched out her red coat for a black one, which was puffier than the first one.
Savannah’s legs were on display in the tight pants as she stood in front of the New York City crowd.
Her co-host Hoda Kotb wore a more weather-appropriate outfit in a light purple winter coat and white jeans.
SAVANNAH’S SLAY
Fans took to X, formerly Twitter to compliment her outfits.
About her black jacket: “@SavannahGuthrie I need that jacket! Where did you get it!? Love it.”
“Savannah was thinking ‘leather pants, spiked gloves. Nothing says Thanksgiving like a biker chick vibe,'” said another.
A third added: “Wow! Red suits her so well. I love her outfit today.”
“Please tell me who designed Savannahs gorgeous red jacket,” said another.
“Loving Savannah’s outfit today,” a parade watcher commented.
“I love the pin in your hair,” a Today viewer commented on a video posted to Twitter.
