Hoda and Savannah are Back Together on Today

It’s been a long time, but Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie were finally back together on Today on Monday morning.

Kotb returned to the show March 6 after she had been away for the past few weeks to tend to a personal matter. The TODAY co-anchor told viewers that her younger daughter, Hope, 3, had been ill, but is back home now.

“My youngest, Hope, was in the ICU for a few days and in the hospital for a little more than a week," Hoda said at the top of the show. "I’m so grateful she’s home. She is back home. I was waiting for that day to come. And we are watching her closely. I’m just so happy."

Hoda then got choked up while expressing how grateful she feels while discussing the matter with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

“You know what I realized, too, Savannah? When your child is ill, the amount of gratitude you can have for people who helped you out,” she said.

“I’m grateful for the doctors at Weill Cornell who were amazing and the nurses. And I’m grateful to my family, and I’m grateful to friends like you who were there every single day. So, I want to say thank you for that. I love you.”

"I love you, too," Savannah replied.

Guthrie was off after she ttested positive for COVID-19 on Feb. 28 and left the anchor desk in the middle of that day’s broadcast.

“Savannah left early, she wasn’t feeling great, so she took a COVID test,” Sheinelle Jones said at the time. “It came back positive. So, as soon as we found out, she rushed home to rest up. So Savannah, we love you.”

Now the two are back on Today.
