In the summer, hosts like Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie were traveling back and forth to cover the 2024 Paris Olympics. Everything seemed to be calming back down with the turn to Fall and the end of the Olympics. However, fans were surprised to see that she was not in her usual spot next to Kotb on Friday.

In her place was one of the fill-in journalists. Craig Melvin took Guthrie’s place which is common on this show. Furthermore, Melvin usually fills in for anyone if it is during the main hours of the show. He gets along well with the cast and makes it so the show doesn’t miss a beat with a missing host.

Kotb had to explain the whereabouts of her co-star at the beginning of the show since her absence was out of the blue for fans. Moreover, she explained that Guthrie was “enjoying a little time off, jumpstarting her weekend.” Luckily, this seemed to mean that Guthrie was okay with health and safety.

Since fans know she has young kids, it’s quite possible that she took some time to be with them as the show keeps her quite busy, and did so during prime family time this past summer. A long weekend seems like the perfect way to connect without going on a long vacation.

Furthermore, Savannah Guthrie’s Instagram post at the beginning of this month, showed that her kids were starting second and fifth grade so their young years must feel fleeting. Thus, it makes perfect sense for her to want this time.
