Neither Craig nor Kristen gave any indication as to why Savannah, 51, and Hoda, 59, were missing as they took over the main desk.

Kristen is a Weekend Today host who will be leaving the show next month to start a new job as moderator of Meet The Press.

Savannah and Hoda were also absent on Friday, with Craig and Sheinelle filling in for them.

“And a very good morning to you. Thanks do much for joining us on this Friday morning here on Today,” Craig said.

“Savannah and Hoda are off. Sheinelle is with me a little bit early. Good morning to you.”

Sheinelle usually joins Craig on the Third Hour, along with Dylan Dreyer and Al Roker.

Savannah was also missing from the Today show all of last week.

Hoda gave an update on Savannah at the start of last week, explaining that her co-anchor was abroad.

“Savannah is on vacation, Craig is here with me,” she said to kick things off.

Savannah also took time off time off earlier this month while battling an illness.

She alarmed fans when she suddenly disappeared from the newscast on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17.

Hoda revealed that Savannah was feeling “under the weather.”

It is unknown what illness the TV star suffered from, nor did the anchor mention it upon her short return on Friday.

Meanwhile, earlier this month Savannah talked about her infertility issues during an appearance on the podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields.

“When did you first start wanting to have children?” podcast host Brooke, 58, asked, opening up the conversation.

“I think I always wanted to be a mom and always hoped that I would be a mom and always kind of assumed that I would be a mom, would get married and have kids, and I really wanted to,” Savannah said.

“In fact, that may have been the thing I wanted more than anything else, more than any career. I wanted to just go live happily ever after and get married and have kids. I think that was really my biggest goal in life.”

SAVANNAH’S HEARTBREAK

The 51-year-old then admitted that she had a hard time creating that life for herself and felt “heartbroken” at the thought of never having a family of her own.

“As luck would have it, I just wasn’t particularly happy in my personal life…all my friends were getting married, and they started having babies, and I was heartbroken about that,” the TV star began.

“I mean, that was, to me, my great trial and great tragedy. I so wanted to be that. I so wanted to be married and have kids, and I just couldn’t find someone who wanted to marry me, basically.”

Savannah eventually married her first husband, Mark Orchard, in 2005, but the pair split four years later, leaving the broadcaster “crushed” that her dreams of having kids again fell to the wayside.

“In my 30s, I met someone. We got married, it was short-lived, it didn’t work out. It was a sad situation, and then I was really really crushed and sure that it would never happen for me,” the NBC star shared.

But the TV personality later found her happily-ever-after with her now husband, Michael Feldman, whom she wed in 2014.

The couple went on to have two children: Vale, eight, and Charley, six, whom they welcomed via IVF.
