Savannah Guthrie has been whisked off to Paris for an assignment on the Today Show, but that's not the only thing she's celebrating this week!
The NBC favorite is in fact marking an impressive 12 years on the daytime news program - having worked for the show for over a decade.
To mark the occasion, HELLO! have digged out a photo from Savannah's very first week on the show - and it's safe to say she hasn't aged a bit.
Savannah still has the same bouncy blowdry today, and her natural makeup look is going strong. The star previously co-hosted Today with Matt Lauer between 2012 and 2017, before Hoda Kotb replaced the former NBC star - who was fired for "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace".
This proved to be a challenging time for Savannah, who at the time of his firing, addressed the shocking turn of events live on the show alongside Hoda. "This is shocking and appalling and I honestly don’t even know what to say about it," Savannah on-air.

Savannah said: "We feel grateful every single day, I know we feel grateful for this partnership and getting to come and do a job that is literally fun and to get to do it with a good friend who you trust so much and to just hold hands and get to do this together every morning - I never get over that. I still can't believe it came true."

She added: "I will always say she saved the show full stop. And holding hands with her and being like, 'We're going to do this together,' meant everything to me. I don't think I had the confidence by myself."

Chatting about the support system she has with Savannah in an interview with Good Housekeeping earlier in the year, Hoda explained: "I have some nights where I really messed up and I know I did. And I come in the next morning [thinking], I feel terrible for what I did. What was I thinking? Why did I think that was going to work? They went to bed crying. Like, I don't want that to be me. But then I talk to Savannah. She'll say, 'That was my Wednesday,' it makes you feel less alone."
