Hoda Kotb Returns to NBC Morning Show: Filling in for Craig Melvin After Two-Week Absence

Hoda Kotb is set to return to the NBC morning show after a two-week absence. Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin announced on the show that Kotb will be filling in for Melvin the following week. Kotb previously co-anchored the show with Guthrie and has made appearances to promote her projects since leaving her role in 2025.

In February, Kotb returned to the show when Savannah Guthrie took time off to be with her family after her mother went missing. The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is ongoing, and Savannah and her family have offered a reward for information. Savannah expressed her struggle with returning to the show while her mother is missing but emphasized the importance of being there for her family.

Savannah made her return to Today on April 6, expressing gratitude for the support she received during her absence. Fans greeted her with signs and messages of kindness, which she acknowledged with gratitude. Hoda Kotb will be filling in for Craig Melvin on the show next week, continuing her occasional appearances on the morning show.
