Hoda's been waking up especially early the last few days, setting her alarm for 3 a.m. to fill in for Savannah as co-anchor.
The fourth-hour vet brought her usual charm to Studio 1A, not to mention bright colors (though not as bold as Al's), Savannah's coat and her new puppy, Blake Shelton.
The laughs, as you can see, were contagious.
On Wednesday morning, Hoda showed off her well-trained new puppy before trying out an electric bike.
Fans who want to see Hoda every moment of every morning may be crushed to hear that Wednesday was her last day filling in as co-anchor. But don't worry: There are plenty of laughs still to be had every morning.
Lauren Sullivan is a producer at TODAY.com who's justifiably obsessed with Hoda.
