Craig’s wife, Lindsay Czarniak, posted to Instagram on Wednesday.
“Had a whirlwind but really fun date night last night in Charlotte at the HoopTee charities Legends dinner,” she captioned the post.
In the photo, she and Craig were dressed to the nines as they posed on the carpet.
Lindsay wore a black spaghetti-strap, low-cut, floor-length dress.
Craig rocked a gray suit with a white shirt and a yellow dotted tie.
“The work Hornets Pres/owner Fred Whitfield does to give underserved kids academic and athletic opportunities is incredible,” Lindsay continued.
“Loved meeting NBA legends and seeing old friends including NASCAR driver @tyler_reddick who won his first race of the season for 23X1 racing this weekend and had a chance to celebrate with and teammates once again. #hoops #hooptees #nba #nascar #basketball #datenight #giveback.”
She then had photos with Tyler Reddick and his wife, Alexa DeLeon.
The other photos featured other NBA legends being interviewed for the event.
WHERE’S CRAIG?
Savannah has been absent from the show all week, and Craig has been filling in for her.
However, he was absent on Tuesday, and fans didn’t know why until now.
Willie Geist filled in for him on Tuesday and sat next to Hoda Kotb.
He is the weekend anchor and fills in on weekdays when needed.
Normally, Craig would join Hoda Kotb and Savannah at the desk about 30 minutes into the program.
However, he has been filling in as main anchor recently.
A third host did not join Hoda and Willie at the desk on Tuesday.
SAVANNAH’S STAND-IN
Craig returned to the Today Show on Wednesday.
However, Savannah was still out, but she was replaced by a familiar face.
Tom Llamas filled in, alongside Craig and Hoda.
Craig filled in for Savannah on Monday and Wednesday, instead of being the third anchor at the desk.
That job went to Tom on Wednesday.
He joined Hoda, 58, and Craig, 43, about half an hour into the program.
Tom hosts Top Story with Tom Llamas, and serves as a substitute host for the morning show.
Savannah is taking the week off for a vacation with her family.
