Morning show viewers may be waking up without a familiar face this week.<\/p>\n

On Monday’s episode of Today<\/em>, Savannah Guthrie<\/a><\/strong> and Craig Melvin<\/strong> sat in the anchor chairs to deliver the top stories. But before getting into the day’s biggest topics, Savannah explained Hoda Kotb<\/a><\/strong>‘s absence.<\/p>\n

“If you’re missing Hoda, so are we. Guess what? She’s got the flu,” she revealed. “We think she will be out until probably midweek, maybe longer. We’re sending her our best wishes.”<\/p>\n

Savannah added, “She did get the flu shot, by the way, just for those wondering.”<\/p>\n

Hoda and the rest of the Today<\/em> hosts just returned home from Florida where they hosted a special edition of the show to celebrate the new Today<\/em> Caf\u00e9 at the Universal Orlando Resort.<\/p>\n

“Hoda is never sick,” Jenna Bush Hager<\/a><\/strong> later shared in the show. “But this also shows you the type of friend she is. She’s at home with the flu and I asked her yesterday if she wanted me to send her some bone broth and she said no. And today, she wanted to make sure we wish her best friend Karen a happy birthday.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While serving as Jenna’s guest co-host during the fourth hour of Today<\/em>, Savannah admitted that she was nervous about possibly causing Hoda’s sickness.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I was relieved because I have or had strep throat. And I was worried. They said Hoda is out sick. I was like, please let it not be strep throat because I worked for like two weeks without going to the doctor,” she admitted. “I finally went. In fact, I think you forced me to.”<\/p>\n

Savannah continued, “I’m very sad that she has the flu. She did have the flu shot, but selfishly, I’m very relieved I didn’t give her strep throat.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the show must go on with the Today<\/em> crew delivering all of the day’s biggest stories and participating in unique segments.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Get well soon, Hoda,” Craig shared during the show. We couldn’t agree more.<\/p>\n
