While the TODAY team is getting ready for the Tokyo Olympics' opening ceremony Friday, Savannah Guthrie on Thursday gave her co-hosts back in states a quick glimpse at what she's been up to in Japan's capital during her downtime.
Exercising has been tough with coronavirus restrictions in place, so Savannah has turned to a trusty indoor workout: aerobics! (After all, she was an instructor back in the day.)
She also shared that during her daily stroll (restrictions allow people only one 15-minute walk outside every day), Savannah discovered a "marvel" of a convenience store called Lawson that has everything you'd ever need, including chicken nuggets that the late Anthony Bourdain loved whenever he traveled to Tokyo.
Another treat she stumbled upon is the giant rainbow cotton candy that people in Tokyo can't get enough of.
Savannah on set had a mishap with her cotton candy though when it got stuck to her hand.
TODAY producers have been snapping behind-the-scenes pics of their own. Here's a look the booth anchors and correspondents use to voice their news pieces.
Another producer shared what she stumbled upon on during her daily walk: just an enormous Transformer, no big deal.
Meanwhile, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Lester Holt finally landed in Tokyo after a draining 13-hour flight.
When he made it to the set, he caught a pic of Savannah during Thursday's broadcast on TODAY.
The TODAY team in Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of the rest of the squad back in New York City, so as Lester said, it's odd seeing Savannah head the show in the dead of night.
As for other folks in the NBC News family, senior international correspondent Keir Simmons and producer Jared Crawford enjoyed some bonding time in Okayama.
While there, Keir also encountered a coffee vending machine. (Yup, you read that right.)
Senior national correspondent Tom Llamas, who's been in Tokyo reporting for a few weeks now in the lead up to the Games, shared an on-set pic with stage manager Yosef Herzog.
