Hey there, friends! You won’t believe how excited Savannah Guthrie is about her upcoming trip to Paris this summer. The beloved Today show anchor is set to jet off to the City of Light alongside her fellow Today colleagues. Can you picture it? The Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and all the charm that Paris has to offer—Savannah’s going to soak it all in while covering the 2024 Olympics!
Preparing for the Olympics with Hoda Kotb
Recently, Savannah, who just turned 52, spilled the tea about her preparations for the Olympics while making a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She was joined by none other than her hilarious and insightful Today co-host, Hoda Kotb. Now, Hoda’s no stranger to the Olympics, and she’s always been a fierce supporter of Team USA, especially the gymnastics team. Her enthusiasm is truly unmatched, and it’s impossible not to catch her Olympic fever!
A Glimpse into What’s Coming
“The Olympics are going to be absolutely incredible,” Hoda, who’s now 59, gushed to the audience. “We’ve got gymnastics, folks, and I’m telling you, Team USA is going to dominate this year.” The audience erupted in applause as Hoda went on to rave about none other than Simone Biles, the reigning queen of gymnastics. “This is Simone’s moment,” Hoda declared. “I feel like she’s going to deliver something extraordinary. And they always save the best for last, making us wait with bated breath.”

Savannah’s Memories from Tokyo
Savannah couldn’t resist sharing a hilarious story from her experience at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “Hoda, she’s like the unofficial den mother of USA Gymnastics,” Savannah revealed. “She cheers them on like no one else. But during the pandemic, there were strict rules in Tokyo, and we weren’t even allowed to get too close to each other. Yet, Hoda was determined to give those athletes the love and support they needed.”
“Hoda was like, ‘Their families can’t be here, so someone’s gotta step up and give them a hug.’ The Japanese officials were like, ‘Tell that woman to stop hugging the athletes,’ and it almost turned into an international incident!” Savannah laughed. Hoda chimed in, “I almost got myself in so much trouble. Big time!”
A Sneak Peek into Paris
In June of last year, Savannah celebrated being just one year away from the Paris Olympics. She took a little trip to Paris to give viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the city is preparing for the big event. Paris is pulling out all the stops to ensure the Olympics are nothing short of spectacular.
“We’re going to take you inside some of France’s most iconic landmarks,” Savannah promised in an Instagram clip. “We’ll be joined live by some of Team USA’s top athletes—some names you already know and love, and others you’re about to discover.”
And here’s the fun part: “Guys, I’m going to investigate different rosés,” Savannah joked. “We’re also going to check out the French Open with the legendary John McEnroe. This is going to be epic!”
Craig Melvin, another Today anchor, chimed in to support Savannah as she prepared for her Parisian escapade. “Oh my gosh, guys, it’s going to be lit!” Savannah exclaimed. But Craig teased, “Are you coming back?” Hoda quipped, “She’ll probably say, ‘I’ll stay here.’”
