Tom Llamas filled in, alongside Today regulars Craig Melvin and Hoda Kotb.
Craig filled in for Savannah on Monday and Wednesday, instead of being the third anchor at the desk.
That job went to Tom on Wednesday.
He joined Hoda, 58, and Craig, 43, about half an hour into the program.
Tom hosts Top Story with Tom Llamas, and serves as a substitute host for the morning show.
Savannah is taking the week off for a vacation with her family.
GUTHRIE GONE
Opening Monday’s broadcast with Craig by her side, Hoda wore a bright yellow blazer as she addressed Savannah’s absence.
“Well good morning, good morning! Good to see you, welcome back and thank you for joining us,” she told viewers.
“It’s a Monday and Savannah is enjoying a well-deserved vacation, she’s taken the week off with her family,” Hoda then revealed.
Father-of-two Craig looked more than comfortable being in the hot seat and was dressed in a smart pale blue shirt, striped tie, and navy blue blazer.
Savannah, 51, hasn’t posted on Instagram since last week so it’s unsure where she is enjoying her holiday, but no doubt she is having a lovely time with her husband Michael Feldman, and their two children, Valerie and Charles.
WHERE’S CRAIG?
Savannah wasn’t the only host who missed an episode this week. Craig was absent on Tuesday but was replaced by a familiar face at the news desk.
Willie Geist filled in for him on Tuesday and sat next to Hoda.
He is the weekend anchor and fills in on weekdays when needed.
It was not clear where Craig was, but he returned on Wednesday.
A third host did not join Hoda and Willie at the desk on Tuesday.
