‘TODAY’ Hoda Kotb & Savannah Guthrie Missing, Where Are They?
Two fan-favorite hosts on Today have been missing this week. Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie have been MIA, with Sheinelle Jones and Craig Melvin filling in. Their absence wasn’t addressed by their colleagues until later this week. Where are they and when will Hoda and Savannah be back? Keep reading to find out.
Craig Melvin Shares Why Hoda & Savannah Are Gone
On Thursday’s episode of Today, Craig Melvin shared that Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie “are off to spend time with their families.”
Both women have young children who are gearing up to return to school. The moms likely wanted to soak up the last few days of summer break with their kids.
They aren’t the only morning talk show hosts to take time off right now either. Ahead of the Labor Day holiday, three big names have been missing from Good Morning America. Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and George Stephanopoulos have all taken personal time to enjoy the end of summer with their families.
How The Today Hosts Spend Their Time Away
Earlier this month, Hoda celebrated her 60th birthday. She took some time away from Today for her special day and spent it with her daughters, Haley and Hope.
The Today host also had a party at her home in Upstate New York. Much of her family was present for the shindig. She posted several photos from the party on social media, writing, “Thx for all of the wonderful bday wishes!!!! My party was perfect! —Minus my sis being home sick we missed you Hala.”

Hoda has been relatively quiet on social media during her hiatus. However, Savannah shared several snapshots from her family vacation earlier this week.
She shared a montage of pictures of her family at their vacation resort. In the caption, the Today host wrote, “Holding onto the last of summer.”
Savannah also took some time off earlier this month to celebrate her daughter Vale’s 10th birthday. The mother-of-two shared a tribute to her daughter on social media. There were several of Savannah’s favorite pictures from the past year in the post. She wrote, “Ten years of this magical girl – my whole heart and soul. Happy birthday dearest Vale!”

Today viewers might remember Savannah Guthrie being missing from the show last week as well. She was on-site at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago. The journalist was sent to cover the DNC for NBC.
This isn’t anything new for Savannah. She frequently flies overnight to cover world events in the U.S. and overseas. Last month, she even traveled to Paris to cover the Olympics for the network.
Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie have side-by-side on Today since 2018. They have a strong bond off the set. Both ladies are expected to return to the morning show after the Labor Day holiday.
