Why are Hoda and Savannah feuding in the first place?

Insiders report that there’s a lot of frostiness between the Today show cohosts

Publically, neither Hoda Kotb nor Savannah Guthrie has commented on the alleged behind-the-scenes feud. But Today fans are certain something is going on between the two women.

During their segments together, fans noticed how thick the tension actually is. So what’s going on with the cohosts?

Fans can’t say exactly why Hoda and Savannah can’t get along, but insiders allege that it has to do with Jenna Bush Hager. The Sun managed to speak to a few insiders who say that a lot of cattiness and underhandedness is going on behind the scenes, and Jenna is almost always involved.

“Savannah was the White House correspondent before getting the host job, which also explains her love for Jenna since her father was president,” the source reported. They went on to say that Jenna and Savannah are thick as thieves and that the women tend to ice Hoda out. Furthermore, the source added that Jenna is a “master” at playing people and can easily influence a situation to go her way.

However, it seems that Jenna Hager may not be completely to blame for the onscreen awkwardness.

Savannah may be a little too domineering for Hoda

The Sun spoke to sources that also alleged that “Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda’s role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network.”

The source apparently went on to say that Savannah has the spirit of a serious newsperson while Hoda is more fun-loving and laid back. Today fans definitely remember the days when Hoda and Kathie Lee Gifford drank wine during their segment every weekday morning.

Although Hoda and Savannah are staying quiet about the rumors, viewers did notice that the women appeared more friendly towards one another in a recent segment. Is it possible that the two finally buried the hatchet?

No matter what actually happened between the women, the tension is really tough to deny. As rumors continue to circle around online, it’s entirely possible that the show’s exec team may get involved.

  1. Savannah Guthrie and that other one, Jenna, are phony bitches. It’s palpable when you watch both of them. No wonder. Water seeks it’s own level. Hoda should stay clear of them as much as possible because they’re a toxic combo. Jenna only go that job because of Daddy. She’s awful. They’re also jealous because Hoda is a “natural” with people and they’re the epitome of the definition of “white privilege.”

  3. Where does Savannah get her shoes? My guess would be from “The House of Herman Munster.” The other day Al Roker said to Craig Melvin “is this your first day” referring to time on the job. I thought that was very very tacky of Al. Probably all that pork he eats. I have no respect for Al. Roker any more.
