Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb were both absent and will be all week
Savannah and Hoda were absent from their posts this morning.

They will be off work all week, as well as Carson Daly.

However, it wasn’t revealed how long Carson will be away from his post.

Craig Melvin and Kristen Welker have taken over for Savannah and Hoda.

Dylan Dreyer is in doing weather for Al Roker, who is also away.

Dylan has also been handling POP Start for Carson.

It was a big day for absences, as Sheinelle Jones was also away from her desk.

Al and Sheinelle were available for a pre-taped Today Third Hour appearance, however.

It looks like familiar faces will be away from the screen for some time.

There’s no ETA on when Carson is set to return just yet.

DALY’S DIG

Meanwhile, Craig was forced to explain his words to his co-host live on air.

Craig was joined by Carson as they hosted the Today show live from the streets of New York.

In a video posted on Twitter, the duo was joined by Food Network stars the Grill Dads, but Craig almost made a faux pas when introducing the chefs.

Carson began: “We are in grilling season now, we have the Fourth of July almost here. We’ve brought in the experts; America’s favorite grill dads Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey.”

Craig then added: “These two are the authors of The Best Grilling Cookbook Ever Written by Two Idiots.”

“And I’m not calling them idiots, that’s actually the name of the book,” he quickly amended.

Carson commented: “I was going to say, that’s awfully mean, Craig.”

His daytime TV co-host asserted: “It’s in the book!”

“These guys are like family to us,” quipped Carson.

Craig again emphasized that he wasn’t calling the TV chefs idiots, before quickly moving on with the segment.

He said: “In the book, that was their name! And you know their mantra; if they can do it, you can too. Mark, Fey, two of our favorite guests on the show, thanks for coming back.”

CARSON’S JOURNEY

Last month, Carson opened up about his life, career, and mental health struggles.

In an interview celebrating his 50th birthday, Carson said he feels better today than he did in his 20s – mostly thanks to improvements in his mental health.

Carson revealed that he struggled with undiagnosed generalized anxiety disorder when he began his broadcasting career at 23.

“I suffered for so long without knowing what it was,” he said.

“I was scared a lot. I always felt panicky. You know that feeling of losing your phone or your wallet? That’s how I felt all the time.”

The constant stress was taking a toll on Carson’s day to day activities.

“I couldn’t relax,” he said. “I couldn’t enjoy life.”

The Today host explained that once he was diagnosed he was able to better manage his stress with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

“I now have the tools to work through my anxiety,” he explained.

“I’ve never felt this strong mentally, and that’s one of the reasons I feel so good about going into my 50s.”
