This morning, fans of the “Today” Show were in for a shock when they tuned in and saw that co-host Savannah Guthrie was missing from the broadcast. While co-host Hoda Kotb briefly mentioned that Savannah wasn’t there, it was Craig Melvin who stepped in to take her place. But where was Savannah Guthrie?
It turns out, Savannah was off on an exciting book tour, promoting her newest work, “Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere.” Her tour kicked off with a bang, especially during her recent stop in Texas, where she had some very special guests—former President George W.
Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, who came out to show their support.
But despite the success of her book tour, some fans were disappointed to see Savannah missing from the show, especially since her absence came right after a controversial interview she did before leaving. In this interview, Savannah sat down with singer and actress Kelly Rowland to talk about Kelly’s upcoming Netflix film, “Mea Culpa.”
However, instead of focusing just on the film, Savannah also brought up Kelly’s close friend, Beyoncé. This didn’t sit well with a lot of viewers.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their frustration, feeling that it wasn’t fair to ask Kelly about Beyoncé when the interview was supposed to be about Kelly’s own work. One fan even said, “It’s very disrespectful to ask Kelly about Beyoncé every time she’s on the show. Let her have her moment!”
This interview sparked a lot of discussion about what’s considered good interview etiquette and the importance of respecting a guest’s personal boundaries. While it’s still not entirely clear why Savannah was absent from the show, it’s obvious that the interview has left an impact on the show’s loyal viewers.
As fans eagerly await Savannah’s return, everyone is wondering how the “Today” Show will address the situation and move forward from this controversy.
