The morning show host grinned wide and pointed at her hat, a dark orange ribbed knit beanie with Virginia Tech’s logo on the front.

She captioned her photo: “Represent! @virginia.tech @virginiatech @hokieswbb lets gooooooo!!!!”

But the hat wasn’t what viewers were so interested in seeing.

It appeared Hoda snapped her selfie while standing in a subway station.

You could see the train information on one board to the left of her and a passenger waiting to the right.

The famous New York subway tiles adorned the walls while Hoda wore her huge smile.

Fans were thrilled to see that Hoda, despite being something of a celebrity on TV, does the same types of things they do.

One wrote: “Hoda takes the subway!! Love it!!”

Another commented: “We love a Hoda subway moment.”

A third wrote: “Hoda on the subway! I am here for it!”

A fourth posted: “Stars: they’re just like us! (Taking the subway)”

BACK TO WORK

Meanwhile, Hoda returned to Today after spending time away from the desk without warning.

Fans expressed their joy at Hoda’s return as she was back on the popular program.

Today shared a clip to Twitter on Monday featuring Hoda turning the show over to Richard Engel for breaking news.

Richard reported from Israel, informing viewers about a massive wave of protests and strikes that broke out all across the country.

A fan replied to the tweet saying they’re “Happy Hoda’s back,” as more viewers applauded her return.

“Glad Hoda’s back on Today!” another fan added.

Hoda was absent from the show last week as Savannah Guthrie stood in for her and even covered her co-host’s segment.

Every morning during the week, when Hoda is in, she leads a segment called Hoda’s Morning Boost.

It is a brief, heartwarming story that gives her co-hosts and viewers a little pick-me-up.

WHERE IS SHE?

On Friday, Savannah was the one who led the segment as Hoda was on vacation, enjoying spring break with her daughters.

Savannah sat at the desk with Craig Melvin on Wednesday last week while Hoda was away and revealed where Hoda had been as fans had no clue where she mysteriously disappeared.

Hoda was out a few weeks ago when her daughter fell ill and ended up in the ICU; however, Savannah told viewers that Hoda was on vacation.

“Nice to have you with us on a Wednesday morning,” Savannah said at the time.

“Craig is helping out.”

“Yeah,” Craig nodded.

“Hoda is enjoying vacation,” Savannah let everyone know.

Hoda is said to have taken last week off since her daughters, Haley, five, and Hope, three, were on spring break.
