For years, Hoda and Savannah have been seen as a dynamic and supportive duo on the popular morning show, but it was an incident involving the show’s leadership that marked a pivotal moment in their relationship.
In an emotional interview, Savannah explained that she was present during the confrontation that led to Hoda’s decision to step away from the show.
