Hoda Kotb, the friendly face of the Today Show, brought some unexpected excitement to the studio one Tuesday morning when her cup of tea decided it wanted to explore the studio desk. Her partner-in-crime, Savannah Guthrie, couldn’t help but add a sprinkle of humor to the situation.
Hoda Kotb’s Tea Mishap: A Splash of Chaos on the Today Show
The mishap occurred right after the duo returned from a commercial break, and the whole world got a front-row seat to the delightful tea-tastrophe. Hoda Kotb, in her classic charm, blurted out, “Sorry, sorry!” Savannah, always quick with a quip, chimed in with, “Clean up on aisle one!”
Defending her honor and her massive mug, Hoda had this to say: “Can I just say, this is a huge mug, it’s so big.” We feel you, Hoda! Sometimes, it’s the bigger mugs that are the most rebellious.

Craig Melvin, who was keeping the desk warm beside the dynamic duo, leaped into action, proving that he’s not just a news anchor but also a master of cleanup operations.
Hoda, showing her true professionalism, didn’t let a little spill disrupt the show’s flow and quickly moved on to the next story. After all, live TV doesn’t come with a rewind button.
Mistakes are as much a part of live TV as coffee stains on your favorite shirt. However, Hoda, with her years of experience, doesn’t spill the beans—or tea, in this case—too often. She’s been gracing our screens for over two decades, starting her journey with NBC News in 1998 as a correspondent for Dateline.

Hoda made history as the first host of Today’s fourth hour in 2007. Kathie Lee Gifford joined the party the following year, and later, Jenna Bush Hager became Hoda’s co-star in 2019.
In 2018, Hoda took on the role of co-anchor alongside Savannah. She was brought in to replace Matt Lauer, who left his position after allegations of misconduct. Hoda and Savannah have since become a dynamic duo, both on and off the screen.

Speaking about their friendship, Savannah said, “We feel grateful every single day, I know we feel grateful for this partnership and getting to come and do a job that is literally fun and to get to do it with a good friend who you trust so much and to just hold hands and get to do this together every morning – I never get over that. I still can’t believe it came true.”
Hoda added her two cents, saying, “I am working with Savannah which is a job that you can only dream of having.”

But it’s not all glamour and TV lights. Hoda revealed how they support each other as working moms. In an interview with Good Housekeeping last year, she shared, “I have some nights where I really messed up and I know I did.
And I come in the next morning [thinking], I feel terrible for what I did. What was I thinking? Why did I think that was going to work? They went to bed crying. Like, I don’t want that to be me. But then I talk to Savannah. She’ll say, ‘That was my Wednesday,’ it makes you feel less alone.”
So, there you have it, a delightful mishap, some camaraderie, and a giant tea mug – just another day at the Today Show!
