Hoda Kotb has been missing from Today for a week and a half, and the show hasn’t told us why. Therefore, people have been wondering, is she OK? Is she leaving the news show? And so on.
Well, today, Today finally addressed her absence after reminding people that Savannah Guthrie is missing from the morning news program because she is home battling COVID-19. “As for Hoda, we know some of you are wondering how she’s doing,” Craig Melvin said. “We can tell you she’s OK. She’s got a family health matter she’s been dealing with.”
Hopefully, Kotb’s family member will be better soon.
I just want to add with both Guthrie and Kotb missing from Today, the three remaining anchors, Al Roker, Melvin, and Sheinelle Jones, are all African American. I like it, and I like them together.
