Talk about a close call! NBC “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie cut it close on Thursday morning after oversleeping and nearly missing making to work on time.
“Overslept big time. It’s 6:34 and I’m still in the car,” Guthrie wrote, kicking off a series of Instagram story posts that documented her mad dash to hit the 30 Rock set in time to introduce the show.
At 6:40 a.m. ET, she shared a video showing her with the “miracle workers,” AKA the hair and makeup team that worked at super-fast speed to get her on-camera ready.
Guthrie showed she made it to the stage at 6:54 a.m. ET, thankfully in time to record the promos for the affiliate stations.
“Oh, we’re gonna make the tease,” Guthrie said to co-host Craig Melvin.
“Oh yeah,” he replied. “It’s amazing.”
Her series of posts concluded with one showing her rushing up the staircase — soundtracked to Kate Bush’s “Running Up that Hill” — adding a nice flourish to the end.
You can watch her full story, which she put into an actual Instagram post, in the video below:
