After partying the night away, the 50-year-old did not show up for work the next day.
WHERE'S SAVANNAH?
On July 19, The TODAY Show viewers woke up and did not see Savannah smiling on their screens.
In a morning , NBC correspondent, Stephanie Gosk, filled in for the mom-of-two.
Fans wondered where the co-host might be after no word was given about her absence from her co-hosts, herself, or the network.
But she did share photos on her Instagram story from the party the night before.
NOT TODAY!
However, fans were worried about the co-host's absence, after it was revealed that she and co-anchor, Hoda Kotb, do not get along.
A source close to production on The TODAY Show exclusively told The Sun that despite their sunny dispositions towards each other on-screen, behind the scenes Savannah and Hoda secretly "can't stand each other."
"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."
Beyond that, the source added that Savannah "thinks of herself as a real news person," while Hoda is seen 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."
Jenna Bush Hager's father is George W. Bush.
While Jenna is Hoda's co-host, the insider said she plays both sides between the women.
"Jenna and Savannah are the best of friends, and they ice Hoda out.
"Jenna landed the best job on TV with zero experience- no one works people better than [her].
"She’s a master at playing the game," the insider added.
FRIENDS ON CAMERA
Hoda and Savannah made history as the first pair of women to co-anchor the Today show after decades on the air.
During a celebration for the show at The Paley Center last month, Savannah - who shared duties with former Today show anchor Matt Lauer prior to the 64-year-old's firing - spoke about Hoda coming in as his replacement.
"All I know was in that moment, it felt like I could drown if Hoda hadn’t reached down and grabbed my hand.
"I will always say she saved the show full stop. And holding hands with her and being like, 'We’re going to do this together,' meant everything to me. I don’t think I had the confidence by myself," Savannah said.
The mother-of-two's kind words didn't end there as she continued to praise Hoda and the tight relationship they shared.
"It’s wonderful to have a female partnership, but to me, to have this friend and cheerleader and partner, and I really feel that from her, and I hope we share that.
"It’s incredible. I always say, 'I’ll hold my hands and close my eyes and go anywhere with you.' I would."
SAVANNAH STUNS
A few days prior to attending Gwyneth's party, Savannah posted a photo of her and her family all in matching swimsuits.
She stunned in a blue floral one-piece bathing suit, with white straps, in a photo she posted over the weekend.
The morning show host and her daughter wore the same one-piece while her son and husband matched with blue swim trunks.
She showed off her toned legs and arms in the suit as she sported black sunglasses.
The second photo shows her husband, Michael, and her son, standing backward and making a funny pose as she and her daughter smiled from the side.
They all posed outside on the porch and smiled for the camera.
This photo came just hours after she snapped at Hoda live on air.
TOO MUCH TENSION
During the Friday broadcast of TODAY, fans noticed some tension between the co-hosts.
The women teamed up for a cooking segment in the kitchen with cookbook author Elizabeth Heiskell.
While they attempted to help in the kitchen, both Al Roker and Craig Melvin sat at a table along with three Yankees players Gerrit Cole, Jose Trevino, and Anthony Rizzo.
The players were on a previous segment to talk about Yankees HOPE Week and were invited to try some of the food on-camera, but fans noticed the segment spiraled quickly and turned awkward.
As the chef was speaking and Savannah was mixing a salad, Hoda walked over to the table and asked: "Wait - are we done?"
Savannah replied: "Yeah, that's it. Moving on. We'll just move on, we don't have time for all that," as she dismissively waved her hand in front of Hoda and cut off the guest from speaking.
Viewers could hear Hoda nervously laughing in the background as a close-up of the camera showed Savannah continuing to mix the salad.

An awkward pause ensued before the guest started talking again about farmer's market produce.
Fans noticed that the two Today hosts not only talked over each other but also over the guests in the segment.
