today, gone tomorrow.During a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Savannah Guthrie, 54, joked that she threw away Hoda Kotb’s “s–t” after the latter left the “Today” show last week.Guthrie recalled finding assorted odds and ends that her former co-anchor left behind.“It’s a new era.

It’s the Craig era,” Guthrie said, referring to how Craig Melvin is replacing Kotb. “We go in and we sit on the set and there are these trays,” Guthrie joked, explaining that in the trays for their personal items, Kotb had left “like, one contact and, like, expired bean dip and, like, belly button lint.

So we just threw it right out!”Fallon played a video Guthrie recorded for Kotb, 60, as she tossed out the items. In the footage, Guthrie can be seeing quipping, “Guess you didn’t want any of this s–t,” before trashing the goods. “Look at the tray … it had rust and barnacles on it.

I mean, it was disgusting!” Guthrie told Fallon. Kotb announced she would be leaving “Today” back in September after 26 years with NBC.Guthrie and Kotb anchored “Today” together since 2017, after Matt Lauer got fired over sexual harassment allegations.At the time, Kotb explained that her decision to leave happened after turning 60, as she wanted to spend more time with her daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5.She’ll also kick-start her own wellness app and company, which will include trips and podcasts, and has signed a new deal with NBC to contribute exclusive interviews and cover the next two Olympics.“I just turned 60, and it was such a monumental moment for me, because I started thinking about that decade,” she said on “Today” in September.
