Fans of the “Today” Show were surprised when co-host Savannah Guthrie was noticeably absent this morning. Craig Melvin stepped in to fill her spot, while co-host Hoda Kotb briefly explained the reason for Guthrie’s absence. So, where exactly was Guthrie?
As it turns out, Guthrie was on the road promoting her latest book, “Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere.” Just the day before, during a stop in Texas, she received a warm welcome from former First Lady Laura Bush and President George W. Bush. What a remarkable way to kick off a book tour, right?
However, not all “Today” Show fans were thrilled about Guthrie’s book tour. Their dissatisfaction stemmed from an interview that aired on Thursday, just before Guthrie left for her tour. Guthrie interviewed actress and singer Kelly Rowland about her new Netflix movie, “Mea Culpa.” But the conversation wasn’t just about the film.
During the interview, Guthrie brought up Rowland’s close friend and fellow Destiny’s Child member, Beyoncé. Fans criticized Guthrie for asking Rowland about Beyoncé during an interview that was supposed to focus on Rowland’s work. One social media user commented, “It’s very disrespectful to ask [Rowland] about Beyoncé every single time she’s on your show.”
Guthrie’s insistence on discussing Beyoncé only fueled the fans’ frustration. Many viewers felt that Guthrie was more interested in prying into Rowland’s personal life than discussing her professional achievements and the movie she was there to promote.
Whether or not Guthrie’s questions were inappropriate is up for debate, but it’s clear that many “Today” Show viewers were unhappy with how the interview was conducted. The incident has sparked discussions about proper interview techniques and the importance of respecting the interviewee’s boundaries.
While Guthrie’s absence from the show may not be directly related to the backlash from the interview, it’s evident that her actions have left an impact on the show’s loyal audience. Fans are eager for her return, but it remains to be seen how the “Today” Show will address the situation moving forward.
In the meantime, you can watch the full interview in the video below and decide for yourself whether Guthrie’s questions crossed the line.
