Guthrie\u2019s comments came days after it was reported that Rowland, 43, abruptly left the Today<\/em> show set after having an issue with the studio\u2019s dressing room. After being interviewed by Guthrie earlier in the show, Rowland was set to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager<\/strong> as a cohost with Kotb, 59, for Today<\/em>\u2019s fourth hour. (Rita Ora<\/strong> took over for Rowland<\/a> with only a moment\u2019s notice.) There was other speculation that Guthrie bringing up Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> several times during Rowland\u2019s interview could have irritated Rowland.<\/p>\n\n![\"Savannah](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Savannah-Guthrie-Declares-Today-Dressing-Rooms-Need-a-Remodel-After-Kelly-Rowland-Debacle-Inline-01.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\n Savannah Guthrie and Kelly Rowland on \u2018Today\u2019 on February 15, 2024.<\/span> Nathan Congleton\/NBC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI was bummed. I love Kelly. We love Kelly,\u201d Kotb admitted to ET<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday. \u201cShe\u2019s one of our all-time faves<\/a>, and there\u2019s no one who\u2019s more gracious or graceful than Kelly \u2026 we\u2019ve been texting back and forth and I gave her a call. I said, \u2018Come on, girl. We\u2019re waiting. We\u2019ll do a re-do.\u2019 So, hopefully we\u2019ll do a re-do.\u201d<\/p>\nWhen asked about the dressing rooms specifically, Kotb admitted that they\u2019re \u201ctiny\u201d and a \u201cwork in progress.\u201d However, the anchor explained that it adds to the show\u2019s \u201ccharm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019ve ever been backstage [on] Broadway and gone to one of those dressing rooms, you\u2019re like in these tiny rooms for months and months,\u201d Kotb continued. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of what the Today show is like. You walk around and it\u2019s such a beautiful place, but there\u2019s tiny little spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n
News of Rowland\u2019s apparent departure from the Today<\/em> show set came on Friday, February 16. During the broadcast that morning, neither Kotb nor Ora, 33, mentioned the rumored dressing room debacle.<\/p>\n\n
