Savannah Guthrie made a shocking return to the Today Show after it was revealed that she was being replaced!
RadarOnline.com reported on Jan. 5 that Megyn Kelly was slated to replace Guthrie, who is currently on maternity leave.
“Matt Lauer knew about Kelly and even gave it his blessing,” a source revealed exclusively to Radar.

“This is why the dressing room next to Matt’s room on the first floor behind the upstairs studio has remained empty for months — despite Tamron Hall and Hoda [Kotb] asking for it,” the insider noted. “It was being saved for Kelly!”
An insider revealed to Radar at the time that “Savannah on maternity leave is terrified” — and it showed during her Jan. 6 appearance to honor her co-host.

Instead, she complimented Lauer, 59, with an awkward monologue.
“Matt, you know this, but I’ve looked up to you all my life, because you’re so old,” Guthrie laughed. “I just want to say, we adore you… One of the things that is so wonderful about you is that from the second I walked in here, one of the things I noticed is that Matt knows every single person’s first name and last name. He knows the name of their dog. He knows how their mother is doing.”
She later added that his hashtag was trending on Twitter — much to his delight.

I wouldn’t know her if I met her on the street.
But why would anyone watch or care now?

Still not tired of WINNING
MeGyn is perfectly slotted to be the queen amid these NBC morons. How delicious to see her get what she deserves.
Why? They just blather on and on and say basically nothing worth hearing.
Or at least that is how I remember it. I haven't watched Network news/morning shows for several years.
Megyn is moving from her own show in prime time on the #1 cable network to a #3 position on the Today show. Lauer is number 1 on Today and has sent a number of female co-hosts packing. Al Roker is #2 on the pecking order.
If Megyn doesn’t control her ego, and play her #3 role quietly, Lauer will tell the NBC/Comcast bosses to send her packing. Given her history, it is hard to see her comfortably moving from #1 to #3. She may not even last a year.
this wouldnt be happening unless Roker okayed it. like you said he is #2 and Carson Daly is 3
So many women. Hard to keep track of : )
"I thought it was Natalie Morales he had the affair with."
The only thing that I know for sure is that this is all occurring on a day that I just ran out of popcorn.
