Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb are taking time off from the Today show to focus on some personal plans, and the producers are bugging out!

Kathie Lee is currently in the United Kingdom for her 26-year-old son Cody’s Master's program graduation.

And surprisingly, Hoda is on maternity leave after adopting her new daughter Haley Joy. “She’s not going to leave her apartment without the baby,” a source close to the show revealed to RadarOnline.

“Kathie Lee booked her time off months ago, before Hoda told anyone she was adopting. She isn’t going to cut her vacation short,” the insider added.

After producers had no choice but to hire amateur Jenna Bush Hager to cohost, the source suggested, “Maybe producers should call Megyn Kelly. These two have given everything to the show, and now they don’t even know if Megyn is going to replace them. They are sick of being treated this way, and are finally putting themselves first.”

Do you think Kathie Lee and Hoda will return to the Today show sooner than later? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
