The future of the morning show just got more complicated. As concern continues surrounding the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, quiet questions have started surfacing about what this means behind the scenes at Today — and where Hoda Kotb stands in all of it. With emotions running high and schedules shifting, insiders say conversations about leadership, long-term plans, and stability are happening off-camera. Nothing dramatic on the surface — but enough subtle changes that viewers have begun to notice. One recent on-air moment, brief but telling, sparked speculation that bigger decisions may already be in motion. Is this just temporary reshuffling during a difficult time — or the beginning of a larger transition? There’s a specific clip that has fans reading between the lines.
Hoda Kotb is set to stay in Savannah Guthrie’s “Today” seat for an extended period as the search for the star’s mother Nancy Guthrie stretches into its fourth grueling week, sources tell Page Six.
Behind the scenes at the NBC morning show, bosses are dealing not only with the impact of Savannah’s absence, but also with wild – and hurtful – rumors about who could take her job, according to insiders.
Although Kotb, 61, left ‘Today’ just over a year ago, she returned to Studio 1A to rejoin her former colleagues as somewhat of a salve shortly after Savannah’s life was brutally upended.
“At the moment, we’re taking things week by week, day by day,” we’re told.
