Today host Savannah Guthrie has admitted she felt “guilt” as her co-star Dylan Dreyer was broadcasting in a freezing New York while she addressed the audience from the studio.

On Thursday, the 53-year-old journalist opened the show alongside Craig Melvin in studio 1A. The pair read the day’s headlines before introducing Dylan, who was broadcasting on the plaza in New York to share details on the wintery front sweeping across the midwest and east coast of America.

Dylan told viewers and her colleagues, “It’s worse than it looks,” and Savannah admitted she felt “guilt” at seeing the meteorologist outside while she was in the comfort of the studio. Savannah then urged Dylan to come in for a cup of hot chocolate.

The TV host, who is an anchor on the 3rd Hour, shared the screen with hosts Craig Melvin and Savannah Guthrie as Al was absent from the show. Al’s absence came just a day after he, Dylan and Craig announced that the NBC network morning show will be hitting the road later this month, hosting a special live show in celebration of Mardi Gras, which falls on March 4 this year. Hosts will broadcast the 3rd Hour live from New Orleans, Louisiana, they announced on Monday.

Sharing the news from Studio 1A, Al told viewers, “Now we’ve got some exciting news to share. We are taking the show on the road to New Orleans. On the 3rd Hour of Today on Friday, February 28 we’re going to head down to celebrate Mardi Gras in the Big Easy. We’re going to take in the parades, festivities, sights, sounds and tastes of the city.”

This week, Dylan shared some posts on Instagram, giving fans an insight into her life away from the TV screen, as a busy mom-of-three. In a post, Dylan showed herself playing with her children, three-year-old Rusty, five-year-old Ollie and eight-year-old Calvin. The group found themselves frustrated while playing the popular Mouse Trap game, which is known for being tricky.

In a separate post, Dylan shared the ingredients she had bought to make a lentil soup – but said she was pretty sure that her children wouldn’t eat it. The TV host said, “I mean, I KNOW my kids are not going to eat lentil soup. So why do I bother??? Why am I rushing home between appointments to whip up lentil soup that everyone is going to complain about? Because maybe there’s a CHANCE…”

But to her surprise, her boys eventually liked the soup, she said in a follow up post. Dylan filmed her children reacting to the recipe and saying they liked it. Posting the clip, she wrote in the caption, “SOUP SUCCESS!!! All 3 liked the lentil soup and ate it all!! Moral: don’t give up…keep trying new things. Actual moral: totally got lucky. Guaranteed they won’t eat the leftovers tomorrow!”
