LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It’s heartbreaking for the ‘Today’ fans to endure the absence of their two favorite hosts - Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie from the morning show. But as they say that the show must go on and in the absence of the duo, the network has picked Kristen Welker to fill the big shoes of Hoda and Savannah for the time being. Hoda and Savannah are on a short hiatus from the ‘Today’ show making viewers question their absence.
But there’s nothing much to worry about as Hoda and Savannah aren’t away to tend to some medical or personal emergencies. The ‘Today’ duo are enjoying the July 4th holiday and are expected to resume their duties soon. And as for Kristen, the fill-in host is delighted to be in the studio covering for Hoda and Savannah.
What did Kristen Welker say?
‘Today’ anchor Kristen Welke’s excitement about taking on the collective duties of Savannah and Hoda was second to none. The 47-year-old shared the photo of her alongside co-host, Craig Melvin behind the morning show news desk while they were off-air. Both Kristen and Craig sported huge smiles as Kristen revealed that she filled in for Craig's normal co-hosts Hoda, Savannah, and Al Roker, on July 3 episode so they could bask in the Fourth of July holiday.
She wrote in one of her Instagram stories, "Thanks to @craigmelvinnbc and @dylandreyernbc and the @todayshowteam for a wonderful morningIt's always a treat to spend time with this crew while @savannahguthrie, @hodakotb, and @alroker enjoy the holiday week.” Kristen covered for the missing hosts on July 4 as well.
