Today’s Savannah Guthrie looks furious as Hoda Kotb shares co-host’s ’embarrassing’ secret in awkward moment on live TV
TODAY hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb have reunited on-air after time away from each other amid their rumored feud, but it was a rocky reunion.
Fans have pointed out how furious Savannah looked as Hoda shared her co-host’s embarrassing secret in an “awkward” moment during the live show.
During a segment all about how to “stay safe and cool” amid the heat wave that’s happening, things between Savannah and Hoda, 57, got a little heated, as well.
The two stood on opposite ends of the set, with four others around them, as they all shared different tips and tricks for viewers.
Toward the end, though, Hoda cracked a joke about her Today co-host that the 50-year-old didn’t seem too happy about.
“Ok, Savannah’s excited about this one,” Hoda said with a straight face as she pointed to the tip of “naked is best” when it comes to staying cool while sleeping.

“No, I’m not,” Savannah fired back from the other side of the room.
Hoda shot back: “That’s not what I heard. I heard that she liked it.”
The camera then panned over to Savannah as she rolled her eyes at Hoda during the uncomfortable moment and told her: “You know that I hate nakedness!”
Despite Sleep specialist Dr. Carol Ash trying to move on and share more tricks, Hoda decided her moment with Savannah wasn’t over and interrupted to turn back to her co-host for another comment.

“You don’t need to be embarrassed, Savannah, it’s OK. It’s really good, it’s really OK.”
The 50-year-old looked uncomfortable by the whole conversation and held up her hands and backed away a bit, trying to plaster on a smile.
“Great segment! Awkward Hoda and Savannah moment tho,” one fan noted.
Others pointed out all of the “drama” between the two hosts.
Even though Savannah and Hoda appear friendly toward each other on TV, a source close to production recently revealed to The Sun that the co-hosts secretly “can’t stand each other.”
The insider added that Savannah “thinks of herself as a real news person,” while Hoda is seen as “the lightweight that drank wine with Kathy Lee Gifford.”
On Friday, with Hoda absent, Savannah had more on-air time with co-host Craig Melvin, and the duo had their own awkward moment.
She called him out during the broadcast to let him know that he snubbed her during their back-and-forth banter.
It all started after the two hosts cut to NBC correspondent Jesse Kirsch, who was reporting from Philadelphia at the top of the Rocky steps in a short-sleeve shirt.
When it was time for the cameras to switch back to the studio, Craig joked as he said goodbye to the T-shirt-wearing Jesse: “Sun’s out, guns out, Jesse Kirsch!”
He then went on to use that same phrase as the best way to transition over to their meteorologist for the weekend forecast.
Craig shouted over to his co-worker, who wore a sleeveless black and white ensemble: “Dylan Dreyer, also with the guns out.
“How we lookin’? How hot’s it gonna be this weekend?”
Before Dylan could begin her report, Savannah cut in to call out Craig for snubbing her.
“You didn’t say my guns were out,” she told her co-anchor, before adding, “because my guns are like flabby spaghetti.”
Craig playfully pushed her shoulder and told her: “Shut up, that’s not true. You’ve got great guns.”

Looking uncomfortable with the whole interaction, Craig turned back to Dylan and begged: “Now it’s awkward, save the show. Please do!”
And so she did, jumping right into the weather forecast, taking the heat off her co-workers.
