Savannah Guthrie made her much-awaited return to The Today Show this past week, and the occasion was met with much fanfare. Of course, Guthrie was returning from a leave of absence taken due to the disappearance of her mother, Nancy. In Savannah’s absence, former co-anchor Hoda Kotb filled in for her and was “happy” to do it. Kotb, however, wasn’t working at the studio when Guthrie made her return to the airwaves. Yet Kotb will be back this coming week, and that’s due to another colleague, Craig Melvin.
It was announced during the April 9th edition of Today that co-anchor Craig Melvin would be heading on vacation. From there, Guthrie quipped that the show would try out another host in the form of Kotb. That was followed by a joke from Melvin, who said he'd heard of Kotb before. In all seriousness, though, both Melvin and Guthrie seemed to be ecstatic about the prospect of Kotb returning to the show once more. And, quite frankly, I also love the fact that Kotb will be back on our screens soon.
