Where was Hoda Kotb?!

Around 9 a.m., Jones revealed why Guthrie had to leave so quickly and suddenly.

As we reported, fans of Kotb, “Today” and “Today with Hoda & Jenna” expressed their genuine concerns about the co-anchor.

“Hello friends Everyone is wondering where @hodakotb is. He was out for a week. The best thing you can do at this time is to keep him in your prayers. HE’S COMING BACK! I’m sure,” one person tweeted.

One worried viewer wrote: “When are you coming back??”

“We miss you…everything seems so secret, I hope everything is ok,” wrote another.

“Where is Hoda Kotb, why is she out for almost 2 weeks? Can someone please tell me if everything is ok? Or vacation? asked this viewer.

“Hoda, I don’t know what’s going on and it’s none of my business (or anyone else’s!) but I wanted you to know how much you were missed and loved. I pray it’s for a good reason, and if not, I pray you (and the girls) are okay. Stay strong Hoda… you are stronger than you think!” wished one fan.

She last appeared on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” on February 20, President’s Day^th; however, this was a pre-recorded episode due to the holiday.

So, technically, he was last physically on the show on February 17th^th.

Hoda posted on Instagram on Monday, February 27th^th. She shared a photo that read, “Choose hope.”

He has a daughter named Hopena. Hoda simply prescribed the comment red heart with emoji.

His fans and followers once again expressed their concern in the comment section.

Many have said the “Today” show isn’t the same without her, and it’s hard to watch the AM news without Hoda.

Willie Geist and Sheinelle Jones attended Hoda’s fourth hour show with Jenna.

Hoda’s “Today” channel podcast, “Making Space,” usually drops new episodes every Monday at 4:00 a.m. ET, but hasn’t dropped a new episode since February 20.^th.
