The noticeable absence of co-host Savannah Guthrie this morning shocked viewers of “Today” Show. Guthrie was replaced on the show by Craig Melvin, however co-host Hoda Kotb provided a brief justification for her absence. And where on earth was Guthrie?
It transpires that Guthrie was on a book tour promoting her most recent book, “Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere.” President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush came to support her when she stopped in Texas just the day before. How wonderful is it to begin a book tour, huh?
Meanwhile, “Today” Show viewers weren’t very thrilled with Guthrie’s book tour. Their dissatisfaction stemmed from an interview that aired on Thursday, shortly before her departure. Guthrie had an interview with actress and singer Kelly Rowland regarding her latest Netflix release, “Mea Cupla.” But it was more than just the movie.
During the conversation, Rowland’s close friend and fellow member of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé, was mentioned by Guthrie as another famous person. Supporters said that questioning Rowland about her buddy in an interview about her own work was impolite. “Very disrespectful to ask… [Rowland] about Beyoncé every freaking time she comes on your show,” posted a fan on social media.
Guthrie’s persistence on learning more about Beyoncé infuriated fans even more. Many people felt that Guthrie was snooping about Rowland’s personal life throughout the interview rather than concentrating on her work and the movie she was promoting.
It remains to be seen if Guthrie’s questions were impolite or not. It’s evident, though, that a lot of “Today” Show viewers were not pleased with how the interview was handled. Discussions around proper interview technique and the significance of honoring the interviewee’s boundaries have been spurred by the occurrence.
It’s evident that Guthrie’s actions have affected the show’s devoted audience, even though her absence from the program may not have been connected to the negative feedback from the interview. Fans are excited about her comeback, but it’s unclear how the “Today” Show will handle the situation going ahead.
