SAVANNAH Guthrie’s silence on social media has sparked concern from fans during her short-term absence from the Today Show.
After the popular co-host confirmed her break from the NBC morning show in a tweet on Tuesday, Savannah has been surprisingly quiet on Instagram and Twitter – a noticeable change for the plugged-in news anchor.

In a message to her fans, Savannah wrote: “We will all be back next week —holding on to the last days of summer this week.”
Recently, the 50-year-old has shared pictures of her vacation as she spends time with her children at waterparks and fairs.
With her last appearance on the Today show on August 19, fans have begun to worry as Savannah has never been more absent from the show than this year.
The mother-of-two has been spending a lot more time with her family and fans are also taking this as a sign that she is wanting to retire from the morning show.
When her absence first began, fans assumed she took the day off because she was exhausted – but then Savannah didn’t appear for the rest of the week.
Her break from the show comes as Savannah is rumored to have a feud with co-host Hoda Kotb, as a source close to The Sun said that the two “can’t stand each other.”
“Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda’s role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network.”
“Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot,” the insider said.

After news of the alleged feud broke, fans accused Savannah of being fake with her co-hosts and being rude to Hoda.
Savannah was accused of being fake again when she showed big love to her co-workers on Instagram.
‘The No Show’
Her absence from the show also caused frustration from fans on Wednesday, when Al Roker, Carson Daly, and Hoda Kotb were also missing from that day’s morning show.
TODAY Show fans were so mad that so many co-hosts were out in one day that they took to social media to say they were boycotting.
“So @CarsonDaly9, @SavannahGuthrie,@hodakotb, @craigmelvin, and @alroker all have the week off?” asked one fan.
Another fan added a gif of a confused John Travolta and asked: “Uhhh… where is everyone on @TODAYshow? No @SavannahGuthrie @hodakotb @alroker @craigmelvin.”
“@TODAYshow is there ever a week when the whole original group is on the show? @SavannahGuthrie @hodakotb and @alroker are never on together lately.”
One fan joked: “On NBC’s Today Show this morning there was no Hoda Kotb, no Savannah Guthrie, no Craig Melvin & no Al Roker. They should have called it ‘The No Show’.”
Just last month, Savannah had a wardrobe misfunction when she wore her shirt backward on live television.
