Hoda Kotb Leaves 'Today' Early, Willie Geist Fills in on 'Hoda and Jenna'

Sunday Today host Willie Geist stepped in to cohost alongside Jenna Bush Hager after Hoda Kotb mysteriously skipped out on the episode. The duo did not share the reason why Kotb, who was present during the first two hours of the NBC morning show, was absent.

Praising Geist’s ability to share the screen with a pro like Larry David, Bush Hager said she could see Giest go on to become “a soap star” down the line. “I think you could be on, like, The Young and the Restless.”Geist remarked that he thinks he’s “too old now” to take on a soap opera gig before suggesting another potential career move. “Or The Golden Bachelor next season, something like that,” he stated before realizing he forgot he is married.

“Beautiful days… magical nights ❤️❤️❤️,” she captioned an Instagram slideshow of vacation pics on March 21. Among the snaps of her and her daughters was a sweet video of Haley and Hope running up and down the beach.“Run to me!” Kotb shouts at her girls in the clip, after which Hope tells her to be careful not to step on “pricklies” scattered in the sand. Days prior, she posted a stunning sunset beach photo via Instagram, which she captioned with a single red heart emoji.

“I’m so grateful she’s home. … I was waiting for that day to come,” she said during her March 2023 return to the show. “And we are watching her closely. I’m just so happy.”
