He was 54 years old. The timeline she described was jarring in its speed. The cast finished shooting a promotional segment around 4:00 p.m. on September 11, 2003.

Savannah Guthrie is weeks into a break from NBC's "Today" show to film a new Wordle game show, and her former co-anchor Hoda Kotb just showed up to remind viewers the bond between them hasn't faded.

The image landed roughly three weeks into Guthrie's absence from the morning show, a stretch she announced on July 16 when she told viewers the filming would keep her away for "a few weeks." The Wordle game show, produced by "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, 51, was announced in May with Guthrie as host. Fallon tapped her after she…Open
