Hoda Kotb 'Shocked' by Savannah Guthrie Replacing Her on 'Today' Show

Kotb reportedly 'blindsided' by NBC's decision

Hoda Kotb is reportedly "shocked" and "blindsided" by NBC's decision to replace her with Savannah Guthrie as co-anchor of the "Today" show.

A source close to Kotb told Page Six that Kotb was "livid" after learning of the change.

The source said, "Hoda is a pro and she will always put the show first, but she's also human and she's allowed to be upset about this."

NBC has not yet publicly commented on the reported shakeup.

Kotb has been co-anchoring the "Today" show since 2018, alongside Guthrie.

She has been a popular figure on the show, known for her warm personality and close relationship with Guthrie.

Guthrie has been with the "Today" show since 2011, and has co-anchored the show with Kotb since 2018.

She is known for her hard-hitting interviews and her ability to break down complex news stories.

It is unclear what led to NBC's decision to replace Kotb with Guthrie.

Some sources have speculated that NBC may be looking to boost ratings for the "Today" show, which has been trailing ABC's "Good Morning America" in recent months.

Others have suggested that NBC may be trying to create a more diverse anchor lineup.

Whatever the reason, the reported shakeup is likely to have a significant impact on the "Today" show and its viewers.

Kotb is a beloved figure on the show, and her departure is sure to be felt by many.

It remains to be seen how Guthrie will fill Kotb's shoes, but she is a talented journalist with a proven track record.

Only time will tell if she can help the "Today" show regain its dominance in the morning news ratings.
