Craig Melvin has been filling in for Savannah during her absence.
He appeared on the Today desk once more alongside Hoda Kotb on Wednesday.
Fans have grown impatient while waiting for Savannah to come back.
Previously, she missed a day or so due to an illness.
She came back the next day as Hoda said she would.
However, since then, she’s continued to be out.
There has been no explanation as to where she is or when she will come back.
Several took to social media to voice their displeasure.
“Can’t watch with Craig on the desk,” one fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another disappointed fan commented: “@TODAYshow Again @SavannahGuthrie is not on. I miss her :(”
IS SAV OK?
Savannah remained missing from Today earlier this week.
She sparked concern from fans after contracting an illness last week.
Savannah has been absent this week and most of last week.
She was replaced by Craig Melvin, who sat at the main desk with Hoda Kotb.
Savannah returned to work on Friday, after going missing earlier in the week.
However, the Today host did not come back on Monday and remained absent on Tuesday.
Although Savannah has not said where she is specifically, Hoda did mention on Tuesday’s broadcast that she is “enjoying some time off, but Craig is here.”
Sheinelle Jones joined them about 30 minutes in as the third person at the desk.
It is not clear when Savannah will return or why exactly she is out.
The 51-year-old did sound sick last week, however.
SPEAKING OUT
Last Thursday, Hoda explained where Savannah was.
Hoda mentioned that Savannah was off for the day.
She added that Savannah was feeling “under the weather,” but should be back by Friday.
She was joined by anchor Craig instead.
The pair discussed the Barbie movie beating sales records.
However, she didn’t say what kind of illness Savannah might be suffering from.
Savannah was also missing on Wednesday.
Craig had replaced her spot that day as well.
The anchors have had sort of a revolving door of absences lately, with Craig previously out on vacation.
Sheinelle replaced Craig during his previous days off.
EYE’M BACK!
However, on Friday, Savannah returned to Today with a new, bold pair of glasses.
The 51-year-old showed up on Friday’s edition of the talk show.
She discussed President Biden’s appearance at Camp David for a summit between the leaders of Japan and South Korea.
Savannah looked different when she returned, however, with a bold new look.
She opted for a pair of black, thick-framed glasses that she paired with a black blouse.
The anchor wore her hair down around her shoulders in loose waves.
She didn’t make any mention of the illness she had been suffering from while away.
