Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb Disappointed Over Getting Cut From 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'
Turns out, not every star gets to shine on every show. Savannah Guthrie, the beloved Today host, recently shared her disappointment upon discovering she'd been cut from a scene of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' Joining her in this unexpected twist of events was her co-host, the equally charismatic Hoda Kotb. Both ladies admitted they were genuinely disheartened to learn that their acting talents wouldn't grace the small screen after all. It’s not every day that seasoned broadcasters like Savannah and Hoda face the harsh reality of being left on the cutting room floor.
Now, you might be wondering how this revelation came to light. It all unfolded when the Today crew announced that their colleague, Willie Geist, had landed a starring role in the final season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' In a segment aired on February 26, Carson Daly delivered the exciting news. “Willie Geist has a starring role playing himself on assignment to interview Larry David,” Carson revealed with enthusiasm. Naturally, the news sparked a conversation about who else might make an appearance in this highly anticipated season.
The Promise That Was Too Good to Be True
The conversation took an interesting turn when a previous Today interview with the iconic Larry David was revisited. During that chat, Larry, a seasoned comedian known for his sharp wit and humor, had promised both Savannah and Hoda a spot in the final season of his beloved show. Savannah, 52, and Hoda, 59, were understandably skeptical. After all, they had heard similar promises in the past, only to be disappointed each time.

“You two, you’re not cut this year. You’re in it,” Larry confidently assured the two newscasters. But let’s be real—when you’ve been burned before, it’s hard to trust those promises. Savannah wasn’t buying it. “We’ve heard it all before. We shot a whole scene, we thought it was hilarious, about a pickle, we were really good,” she recounted, clearly still smarting from the experience. “He enjoyed cutting us,” she added with a touch of humor.
The Tease That May Have Gone Too Far
But Larry wasn’t done yet. He decided to tease the duo further, which only fueled Savannah’s suspicion. “And then … he tried to tease us,” Savannah shared, her tone hinting at disbelief. “But I think he’s lying!” she exclaimed, leaving no doubt about her feelings on the matter. It’s moments like these that remind us just how personal and relatable these broadcasting legends can be.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Savannah and Hoda have dipped their toes into the world of acting. Both have made memorable cameos in shows like '30 Rock' and the 'Sharknado' franchise. Most recently, Savannah made an appearance in the 2020 film 'The Stand In,' proving that she’s no stranger to the spotlight. But being cut from a scene? That’s a whole different story.
As fans of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' eagerly await the show’s final season, Larry David has announced that this will indeed be the last hurrah for the series. In December 2023, Larry shared a heartfelt statement reflecting on his journey with the show. “As 'Curb' comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this 'Larry David' persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” Larry expressed with a mix of humor and sincerity. “And so 'Larry David,' I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
One thing fans have always loved about 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is its unpredictable nature. With Larry at the helm, anything can happen. So, who knows? Maybe Hoda and Savannah’s big cameo will magically make its way into the final season after all. After all, in the world of 'Curb,' nothing is ever set in stone until the very last moment.
