Today fans accuse show of ‘forcing’ Savannah Guthrie & Hoda Kotb together amid the TV stars’ ongoing feud
TODAY fans have ripped the show for pushing Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb together despite the co-hosts not being on the best of terms.
The talk show hosts have allegedly been feuding as fans have noticed their tension on-air.
Viewers commented on Savannah and Hoda's on-screen behavior on social media, with some blaming producers for "forcing" them together.
One person tweeted: "TODAY show- so now you are forcing Savanah and Hoda together like siamese twins."
However, another supported the co-hosts' partnership, writing: "I just read something that states Savannah and Hoda aren’t getting along. I just want to say that this show would not be this good without Hoda..."
Adding to the chatter of their alleged feud, Savannah, 50, and Hoda, 57, each took separate breaks from the show rather than sharing screen time.

Savannah was first absent for a few days before Hoda stepped away from the cameras.
Meanwhile, viewers have been divided over which co-host should be let go if they can't work out their differences.
Some demanded the show fire Savannah, claiming she won't stop "snapping at and interrupting" her co-hosts.
One fan took to Twitter to angrily post: "Fire Savannah Guthrie!"

Another shared: "I'm so sick of Savannah Guthrie being rude, loud, always interrupting and talking over everyone. Love everyone on the show, but she needs to GO!"
A third wrote: "Give her the pink slip," as one added that Savannah is "ruining the show."
GETTING AXED?
The NBC stars recently had an awkward on-air encounter when they helped in the kitchen with cookbook author Elizabeth Heiskell.
Hoda nervously laughed during the segment while Savannah repeated how she just wanted to keep "moving on."
One fan said: "They both need to be fired if they can't get along. Not all of it is Savannah's fault. Innocent Hoda showing her true colors, too."
Another fan added: "Hoda or Savannah? Which one should stay on the Today show? Neither one!"
FEUDING CO-STARS'
A source close to production recently revealed to The Sun that the co-hosts secretly "can't stand each other."
The insider revealed: "Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda's role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network."
"Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot."
The source added that Savannah "thinks of herself as a real news person."
Hoda is described as "the lightweight that drank wine with Kathy Lee Gifford."
"Savannah was the White House correspondent before getting the host job, which also explains her love for Jenna since her father was president."
Hoda's co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, is the daughter of former president George W. Bush.
Even though Jenna is Hoda's co-host, the insider claimed that Jenna had played both sides between the women.
"Jenna and Savannah are the best of friends, and they ice Hoda out.
