Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie Share Their Experience of Working from Home Amid Quarantine
“Today” show hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie opened up about continuing work from home while leading their families amid the coronavirus situation.
During an interview with Kevin Frazier, “Today” show hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie talked about their experience working from home and surviving through this pandemic.
AN UPDATE FROM KOTB AND GUTHRIE
For almost two weeks last month, Guthrie had to host from a makeshift studio in her home basement as she contracted a sore throat and colds.

She returned to the studio as soon as she got better but recently is back to a work from home set up, together with her co-hosts. She shared an update amid self-isolation:
“We’re all getting a lot of time together, which is actually really great, but also, I feel like our kids really need us right now. They know and they sense, even our little ones.”

The athlete decided to take action and donated $5million to help residents in Louisiana meet their basic necessities.
On the other hand, Kotb, who has two daughters Hely and Hope, is putting motherhood at the top of her priority. She said:
“Once lights go off at work, be home! I feel like that’s the key. I was kind of wondering how our kids are going to react when the world goes back to normal.”
After spending several years broadcasting the news and having their own hair and makeup artists, Kotb and Guthrie now have to do things on their own.

FIGHTING CORONAVIRUS
Kotb takes extra precaution by taking off all her clothes and getting into the shower immediately upon arriving home. Despite the current situation, the two hosts remain committed to their work.
“I think we’re just trying to keep each other’s spirits up as we let people know on a daily basis just what’s going on and things they need to know,” Kotb added.
Guthrie, who lives away from the studio reports from home to be with her two kids, Charley and Vale, and husband, Michael Fieldman.
KOTB GETS EMOTIONAL
Last Friday, Kotb couldn’t hold back her tears over the generosity New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees showed.

Guthrie immediately tried to console her co-host but knew that the entire situation and the kindness of several people were a lot to take in at that time.
