In late December, Katie revealed her one-week return to the Today show to fill in for the program's co-anchor Savannah Guthrie who continues to be on maternity leave.

Savannah, 44, and her husband, Michael Feldman, welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Charley, on Friday, Dec. 9. The couple — who married in 2014 — are also parents to a two-year-old daughter, Vale.

Katie's return to Today also coincides with anchor Matt Lauer's 20th anniversary on the show. Katie and Matt, 59, previously co-hosted the hit daytime program together from 1991 until 2006. Her current week-long appearance on Today is Katie's first return to the show since she left a decade ago to join CBS Evening News.
