During a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' Savannah Guthrie joked that she threw away Hoda Kotb's 's-t' after the latter left the 'Today' show last week. Guthrie recalled finding assorted odds and ends that her former co-anchor left behind. 'It's a new era. It's the Craig era,' Guthrie said, referring to how Craig Melvin is replacing Kotb. 'We go in and we sit on the set and there are these trays,' Guthrie joked, explaining that the trays had left, 'like, one contact and expired bean dip and belly button lint.'
Kotb announced she would be leaving 'Today' back in September after 26 years with NBC. Guthrie and Kotb anchored 'Today' together since 2017 after Matt Lauer's firing over sexual harassment allegations. At the time, Kotb explained that her decision to leave happened after turning 60, as she wanted to spend more time with her daughters, Haley and Hope. She'll also kickstart her own wellness app and company, including trips and podcasts.
Kotb expressed: 'I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and to try something new.' When Kotb announced her exit, Guthrie took it the hardest, stating, 'No one is taking the news worse than Savannah.' This highlights the emotional impact of these changes on both anchors.
