Instead, she was again joined by Craig Melvin.
“Savannah is on vacation, Craig is here with me,” she said to kick things off.
Sav has been away from her desk for some time now.
Previously, she had been out sick and Hoda had said she was taking some time off for that reason.
It isn’t clear whether her vacation is partially due to sickness or whether Savannah’s being out sick was unrelated.
She may have had a separate vacation planned apart from her time off while ill.
There’s still no date set just yet for the anchor’s return to the air.
BRING SAVANNAH BACK!
Meanwhile, fans have been demanding that Savannah come back to the morning show after her extended absence.
Viewers have become pretty restless while awaiting Savannah’s return.
Savannah remained missing again on Wednesday’s episode of Today.
Craig Melvin has been stepping in for Savannah while she’s been away.
He sat at the Today desk again with Hoda Kotb on Wednesday.
Before, she was absent for a day or two because of sickness.
She returned the following day, just as Hoda mentioned she would.
No clear reason has been given about her whereabouts or her return date.
IS SAV OK?
Savannah hasn’t been at her desk for most of the current and previous week.
Craig Melvin took her place, sharing the primary desk with Hoda Kotb, though no news was given about when to expect Savannah back in the saddle.
Last Friday, Savannah made her return after being away for some days.
But, the Today anchor wasn’t back on Monday and continued her absence into Tuesday.
Last Tuesday’, Hoda hinted that Sav was “taking a little break, but we have Craig.”
Sheinelle Jones stepped in around 30 minutes later, but no Savannah.
It remains uncertain as to when Savannah might be back.
