This morning, viewers of the “Today” Show were surprised when co-host Savannah Guthrie was noticeably absent. Craig Melvin filled in for Guthrie, while co-host Hoda Kotb offered a brief explanation for her absence. But where was Guthrie?
As it turns out, Guthrie was on a book tour promoting her latest release, *Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere*. During a stop in Texas the day before, she received support from none other than former First Lady Laura Bush and President George W. Bush. What a fantastic way to kick off a book tour, right?
However, not all “Today” Show fans were thrilled about Guthrie’s book tour. Their discontent stemmed from an interview that aired on Thursday, just before her departure. Guthrie interviewed actress and singer Kelly Rowland about her new Netflix movie, *Mea Culpa*. But the conversation didn’t stay on the film alone.
During the interview, Guthrie brought up Rowland’s close friend and fellow Destiny’s Child member, Beyoncé. Many fans felt it was inappropriate to ask Rowland about Beyoncé during an interview focused on her own work. One fan commented on social media, “Very disrespectful to ask [Rowland] about Beyoncé every single time she’s on your show.”
Guthrie’s repeated questions about Beyoncé only added to the frustration. Many viewers felt she was more interested in prying into Rowland’s personal life than discussing the movie she was there to promote.
Whether Guthrie’s questions were truly inappropriate is up for debate, but it’s clear that many “Today” Show viewers were unhappy with how the interview was handled. The incident has sparked conversations about proper interview etiquette and the importance of respecting an interviewee’s boundaries.
Even though Guthrie’s absence from the show might not be related to the backlash from the interview, it’s evident that her actions have affected the show’s loyal audience. While fans are looking forward to her return, it remains to be seen how the “Today” Show will address the situation moving forward.
In the meantime, you can watch the full interview below and decide for yourself whether Guthrie’s questions were out of line.
