Today With Hoda & Jenna was missing one of its key players during Thursday’s (Feb. 8) broadcast.

Jenna Bush Hager‘s co-host Hoda Kotb was noticeably missing from the show, though Today Show host Willie Geist was there to fill in for her instead.

Bush Hager announced the news as she and Geist took the stage at the top of the episode.

“Hoda’s off, but look who’s here!” she said. “Willie Geist from Sunday Today.”

Kotb’s absence comes as a surprise considering she was present on The Today Show earlier this morning.

Despite Kotb’s absence, the hosts still had a good time on the show, talking about their driving skills and learning some slang terms that the kids are using these days. Bush Hager even revealed that she and her twin sister got into a total of 13 “minor fender benders” in their first year of driving.

“I’m not a great driver,” she confessed.

But the Today host didn’t explain why Kotb was missing from today’s episode, nor when she should be expected back. Here’s what we know so far.

A reason for Kotb’s absence was not provided on Today With Hoda & Jenna. The Today Show host also hasn’t addressed it on her social media.

When reached for comment by Decider, representatives for Today did not reply by time of publication.

Right now, we’re not certain when Kotb will be back. Despite her sudden disappearance, there is a chance that she could return for tomorrow’s broadcast, when Evan Rachel Wood is scheduled to appear.

In the meantime, we’ll keep our eyes out for our favorite daytime co-host, and have our fingers crossed she’ll be back on our screens ASAP!

Today with Jenna and Hoda airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
