Despite returning to the news desk on Friday, Savannah, 51, was again out for Monday’s broadcast.
Instead, her co-hosts, Hoda Kotb, 59, and Craig Melvin, 44, held down the fort in her absence.
Hoda addressed her colleague’s whereabouts on Thursday, saying Savannah was feeling “under the weather.”
She had taken off both Wednesday and Thursday that week, with Craig again filling in for the Today show host.
Hoda didn’t mention what kind of illness Savannah was suffering from, nor did Savannah mention it upon her return on Friday.
The anchors have had a revolving door of absences lately, with Craig previously out on vacation.
Sheinelle Jones, 45, replaced Craig during his previous days off.
SUPPORTIVE CO-HOST
Although Savannah wasn’t in the studio last week, she resurfaced on social media to congratulate Jenna Bush Hager, 41, on her People magazine cover.
Savannah took to Instagram to share the cover featuring her daytime TV co-host along with a kind message.
The issue’s feature story talked about Jenna and her fear of being herself.
Savannah captioned her post: “Just LOOK at this beauty. and then read about her in the new @people. she is every bit exactly who you hope and believe she is. proud proud proud of you @jennabhager”
ABSENT AGAIN
The mom of two was also away from her hosting gig the week prior for a couple of days.
When she returned on Wednesday, the TV personality explained that she was at a Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles with her nine-year-old daughter, Vale.
Savannah also shared an Instagram snap from the night when she ran into Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay.
“Miss olivia benson is a swiftie and has the bracelets to prove it!!” Savannah captioned her post.
“Loved experiencing the magic with @therealmariskahargitay.”
Mariska responded to Savannah’s post: “Loved every second with you!”
