But since returning to work, viewers have noticed that Savannah, 54, has ducked out from the show more than once with no explanation - the most recent being on May 6. So, why did Savannah leave Today again? Co-anchor Craig Melvin informed viewers that Savannah "had to leave a little early" but promised that she'd "be right back tomorrow, though." She followed through with that promise by returning to work on May 7.
