On Wednesday, Savannah reported from Paris on The Today Show.
Hoda was in the studio in New York City and was later joined at the desk by Craig Melvin.
Savannah still reported on the morning headlines, but from across the pond.
She also interviewed athletes in Paris that were hoping to get into the Olympics and more.
When the broadcast began, the screen was split and Hoda admitted how jealous she was of her co-host.
“Hi, everybody and good morning and welcome to Today,” Savannah said.
“We are so glad to have you with us on this Wednesday morning. I’m here in the beautiful city of Paris, at the steps of the Eiffel Tower. Hoda, good morning. Bonjour, as we say here in Paris.”
“Ok, two things,” Hoda responded back. “Number one, I’m incredibly jealous. And number two, Paris looks amazing on you. How is it?”
Savannah said that it was a “beautiful city” and that Paris cannot wait for the Olympics.
She went on to talk about the games and what the city is doing to prepare for them.
WHERE’S SAV?
Savannah was also absent from the morning show on Monday.
Craig took her place once again, as she revealed that she was in Paris.
Viewers immediately noticed Savannah’s absence from her usual seat on the broadcast at the show’s start.
However, Hoda quickly let fans know of her co-host’s whereabouts, explaining that she is in Paris on assignment.
“Savannah will join us from Paris tomorrow because, of course, we’ve got the countdown to the Olympics,” the 58-year-old said, referring to the 2024 Olympic Games.
Later during the show, Craig, 44, again mentioned Savannah’s absence, urging fans not to “feel bad for her.”
“By the way, Savannah’s missing this morning. Don’t feel bad for her though. We’re sure that Savannah Guthrie is having plenty of her own fun in Paris,” the Today host explained.
He echoed Hoda’s comment earlier that she would be broadcasting from the location on Wednesday and Thursday to cover the countdown.
SAVANNAH’S OUT
Savannah announced her new assignment away from the studio last week, to which her co-hosts admitted they were “jealous” she was selected to do the job.
“We’re kind of jealous, Craig and I,” Hoda confessed.
“To quote the Pointer Sisters, ‘I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it,'” Savannah replied.
She further explained her duties: “We are going to bring y’all a behind-the-scenes look at how France and Paris are preparing.
“We’ll take you inside some of the country’s most iconic landmarks. We’ll be joined live by some team USA hopefuls; some names you know and some names you need to know.”
An envious Hoda exclaimed: “Oh, fun!”
The 51-year-old anchor told viewers: “Don’t miss it next Wednesday and Thursday mornings here on Today.”
She then teased: “Guys, I will investigate different rosés,” prompting a perturbed Craig to state: “Of course.”
Savannah continued: “We’re going to check out the French Open with John McEnroe.”
Now teeming with jealousy, Craig yelled: “Oh my God!”
Savannah gave her co-host a self-satisfied grin and replied: “Guys, it’s going to be lit!”
Craig jokingly questioned: “Are you coming back?” before Hoda stated: “She’ll be like, ‘I’ll stay here.'”
