It has been uncharacteristically hot in many locations, recalling the dead of summer instead of the precursor to fall.
“Let’s head over to Mr. Roker to check the forecast,” she said, before the camera panned over to Al.
He stood in front of a large screen that had been showing footage of people shoveling snow as well as other images of the fluffy precipitation.
Confused, Hoda asked: “What are you doing?”
“I thought I’d give us a little amuse-bouche, a little palate cleanser,” Al joked.
“This is Utah, parts of Utah already seeing snow, the ski resorts there,” Al explained.
“So, this is coming for us, but in the meantime, we got heat to talk about,” he said before launching into his weather report.
THREE’S A CROWD
Tuesday marked the return of all three key hosts to The Today Show.
Each had been away, enjoying extended breaks.
Following the Labor Day pause, they were back in action on the set.
On Monday’s episode, Jacob Soboroff, Sheinelle Jones, and Tom Llamas stepped in.
For the weather segment, Dylan Dreyer took Al Roker’s place.
Interestingly, Al was back too after his brief three-day holiday.
Moreover, https://www.the-sun.com/who/carson-daly/Carson Daly, missing for almost a month, is back in the mix.
While his whereabouts were hazy, his hosting gig on The Voice, starting this month, might give a hint.
Guest hosts like Sheinelle, Jacob, Dylan, Peter Alexander, Tom, Kristen Welker, and others had kept the show alive in their absence.
The core team, meanwhile, made the most of their summer, indulging in vacations and getaways.
WHERE HAS SAVANNAH BEEN?
Savannah’s absence was the most extended amongst the main hosts, aside from Carson.
On August 17, Hoda mentioned that Savannah fell ill.
She made a brief appearance that week but soon vanished.
A week later, viewers learned from Hoda that Savannah was vacationing, with Craig stepping in.
Interestingly, Hoda herself disappeared shortly after.
During this period, the duo of Craig and Sheinelle became the show’s temporary faces.
Later, we learned that Savannah enjoyed the US Open with her family, extending her break.
On September 5, she marked her return.
MISSING HOSTS
Hoda took her own leave around August 25.
A week into her absence, Hoda shared glimpses of her vacation on Instagram, with family in tow.
She posted pictures with her sister, Hala, mesmerizing moonlit beaches, sunsets, and cherished moments with her daughters, Haley and Hope.
In a heartfelt caption, she expressed her readiness for the coming month: “We took this picture of the moon last night..our last hurrah of summer! We are ready for you September— see you in the morning,” accompanied by a heart emoji.
Following his brief hiatus, Craig too was missing on a Monday but was back the subsequent week.
