Several of the anchors have already devoted some of their time off to the recent July long weekend, with Savannah, Hoda, and Al all taking the week off.

She added: "There's a certain vulnerability you have when you have children. You know that something you're completely invested in is walking around in the world and it's your job to protect it.
