This morning, fans of the “Today” show were surprised by the unexpected absence of co-host Savannah Guthrie. Craig Melvin stepped in for Guthrie, while Hoda Kotb briefly addressed her absence. But the big question remains—where is Guthrie?

Guthrie was on the road for her latest book, “Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere,” when she made a stop in Texas. There, she received a warm welcome from former First Lady Laura Bush and President George W. Bush, who came out to support her—a memorable way to kick off her book tour!

However, not everyone was thrilled about Guthrie’s tour. Fans of the “Today” show expressed frustration following an interview that aired on Thursday, just before Guthrie departed. The interview featured actress and singer Kelly Rowland discussing her new Netflix movie, “Mea Culpa.” But the conversation took a turn when Guthrie brought up Rowland’s close friend and Destiny’s Child bandmate, Beyoncé. Fans felt it was inappropriate to shift the focus away from Rowland’s work. One fan voiced their displeasure on social media, saying, “Very disrespectful to ask [Rowland] about Beyoncé every freaking time she comes on your show.”

Guthrie’s relentless focus on learning more about Beyoncé further angered fans. Many felt that instead of concentrating on Rowland’s work and the movie she was promoting, Guthrie was prying into Rowland’s personal life throughout the interview.

Whether Guthrie’s questions were truly impolite 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 an interviewee’s boundaries.

While it’s uncertain if the negative feedback from the interview is related to Guthrie’s temporary absence from the show, it’s clear that her actions have left an impression on the show’s loyal audience. Fans are eagerly anticipating her return, but how the “Today” Show will address the situation moving forward remains to be seen.

In the meantime, you can watch the full interview in the video below and decide for yourself whether Guthrie’s questions were inappropriate.
