Hey there, folks! If you've been missing the dynamic duo of Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, your wait is finally over. The beloved co-anchors have returned to the 'Today' show, bringing their signature charm and wit back to our screens. Their absence last week left fans wondering when they'd step back into the spotlight, but now they're here, ready to dive into the latest news and heartwarming stories.
At 52, Savannah and 59-year-old Hoda made a stylish return to the set on Monday, March 25. Savannah dazzled in a white blouse paired with a skirt adorned with fluttering butterflies, while Hoda opted for a bold pink jumpsuit that made her shine. Their outfits were as vibrant as their personalities, setting the tone for a fantastic day of broadcasting.

While Savannah and Hoda were away last week enjoying their spring break vacations, Craig, at 44, took the reins alongside 'Weekend Today' anchors Laura Jarrett and Peter Alexander. They ensured the show kept its momentum and delivered top-notch coverage even in the absence of their usual co-anchors.
Personal Milestones Amid the Chaos
But it wasn’t all about work for these ladies. During her time off, Savannah celebrated a significant personal milestone—her 10-year wedding anniversary with her husband, Mike Feldman. It’s always heartwarming to see our favorite broadcasters balancing their professional lives with meaningful personal moments.
Hoda, on the other hand, enjoyed a tropical getaway with her two daughters, Haley and Hope. It’s clear that she recharged her batteries and came back refreshed, ready to take on the world with her signature enthusiasm.
A Special Moment for the 'Today' Family
The episode also marked a joyful occasion as the 'Today' crew celebrated the birth of former colleague Katie Couric’s first grandchild, John Albert Dobrosky. The baby boy, born on March 23 to Katie’s daughter Ellie and her husband Mark Dobrosky, brought immense joy to the entire 'Today' family. In a touching Instagram post, Katie, now 67, revealed that the baby will be affectionately called Jay, after his late maternal grandfather, Jay Monahan, who tragically passed away from colon cancer in 1998.
Carson Daly chimed in with some exciting news about Katie's new role as a grandmother. He told his 'Today' co-stars that Katie prefers the nickname Gogo over the traditional Grandma. "So, a huge congratulations to Gogo and the family," Carson said, spreading the joy during the segment.
Katie explained her reasoning behind the nickname in a heartfelt post on her website. "For now, I am Gogo. My sister’s nickname is Kiki, so I couldn’t choose that," she wrote. "I felt like everyone is Gigi—and while that was going to be my name, I decided on Gogo after a friend told me that was what she used." Katie expressed her excitement about watching Baby Jay grow and experience life's wonders, reminding herself to cherish every moment. "The days are long, but the years are short," she wisely noted.
