Big Changes Brewing at NBC: Could Savannah Guthrie Replace Megyn Kelly?
It looks like change might be on the horizon for NBC’s "Today" show. Fans of the long-running morning program might soon have to say goodbye to Megyn Kelly. The 47-year-old host, who currently anchors "Megyn Kelly Today," found herself temporarily replaced by her fellow co-host, Savannah Guthrie, during a recent vacation. According to a report from Life & Style, NBC is seriously considering making Savannah a permanent fixture in the 9 a.m. slot instead of Megyn.
For those who've been following the ratings game, it's no surprise. Since its debut in September, Megyn's show has struggled to find its footing in terms of viewership. Meanwhile, Savannah, known for her charm and charisma, has been a staff favorite for years. "It’s a no-brainer for the network," an insider told reporters. "Everyone loves Savannah—the audience, the staff, you name it. She’s the ultimate people person, and the entire 'Today' team loves working with her."
Why Savannah Might Be the Perfect Fit
It seems NBC is testing the waters with Savannah filling in for Megyn. Sources close to the network suggest that this move isn’t accidental—it’s strategic. "Megyn sees the writing on the wall," another insider revealed. "Having Savannah step in was a test, and Megyn knows it." This could be a pivotal moment for both women, and the future of the 'Today' show.

Behind the Scenes Drama: Megyn vs. Savannah
While Savannah might be ready to step into the spotlight, the relationship between the two co-hosts isn't exactly warm and fuzzy. "The relationship between Megyn and Savannah isn’t just frosty, it’s ice-cold," the source added. "Megyn has always treated Savannah like she was part of the B team. Now, their off-camera interactions are limited to a quick nod or a curt 'hello' or 'goodbye.' It’s clear there’s tension brewing behind the scenes."
Despite this, Savannah appears undeterred. According to insiders, she’s eager to take on the challenge. "She’s champing at the bit to take over for Megyn," the source revealed. "Savannah is ready to step into Megyn’s shoes and make the role her own." With her natural charisma and strong rapport with audiences, Savannah could be exactly what the show needs to boost ratings and reinvigorate its morning lineup.
What’s Next for Megyn Kelly?
Of course, getting Megyn to accept this transition won’t be easy. Sources suggest that she won’t go quietly. "Megyn will only leave kicking and screaming," the insider noted. "And she’ll no doubt have her lawyers negotiate one of the biggest payoffs in TV news history." While this could make for some dramatic headlines, it’s a familiar story in the world of television. Change is inevitable, and sometimes, it’s messy.
For fans of the 'Today' show, this could be an exciting new chapter. Will Savannah bring a fresh energy to the 9 a.m. slot? Or will Megyn find a way to reclaim her place? Only time will tell.
