Sheinelle explained: "Full disclosure, Savannah [Guthrie]: When has my daughter, who just turned 13, ever called me on the set?" Savannah quickly interjected: "She wanted to let us know something very important."
Savannah broke the fourth wall while looking straight at the camera and she shared: "Clara, we will pass on the information that you are team Conrad." Sheinelle explained to her co-hosts that her daughter's unexpected call which took her by surprise because she worried that Clara was having an urgent problem. The TV star revealed: "I thought it was maybe important. I thought maybe I don't know, [that] she needed help on her homework or something. [But] no."
Savannah consoled Sheinelle by adding: "It is important." The series has become the latest craze when it comes to binge watching, and fans lined up bright and early to get a chance to see their favorite stars on the Today show. Despite their efforts, the TV hosts revealed that the cast would be joining them for an interview, but from Paris, not their New York City studio.
Craig Melvin issued an apology to the fans who came from far away, for something that was out of his control. Craig shared: "We should point out that they asked us not to reveal that they would be live from Paris, so we weren't being deceitful, but apologies for the folks who drove out of state."
Savannah hilariously added: "Well by the way my daughter was just planning to skip school to be here, so I'm happy to be able to tell her, 'they're in Paris.'" The series just showcased its finale the day prior, therefore, it looks like main character Belly has made up her mind, regardless of fans' heated opinions.
