It's been a very busy few weeks at Studio 1A with the Today team squeezing in last minute vacations and family time before the summer comes to an end - and on Tuesday viewers were treated to a very different looking show in the absence of Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.
Sheinelle Jones and Peter Alexander took the lead, and while Al Roker was at the helm of the weather, Jacob Soborrof stood in for Craig Melvin.
The banter and chemistry between the hosts was as prevalent as ever, highlighting the NBC show's slick production.
The summer has provided many much-needed breaks for the stars and the crew who have all enjoyed a temporary absence.
Hoda's recent whereabouts weren't confirmed but Savannah has been off for a number of days to spend time with her husband, Michael Feldman, and their two children, Charley, six, and Vale, nine.
She didn't share photos from her mini-break until Monday, when she revealed she was in New York watching The US Open with her family.

His middle daughter, Leila, lives in Paris, and his firstborn, Courtney, recently gave Al and his wife, Deborah Roberts their first grandchild.

Al and Deborah spent his 69th birthday in the car with the 19-year-old headed back to Vermont. He documented their final moments together with a sweet photo of the trio beaming for the camera. Nick had his arms wrapped affectionately around his dad's shoulders.
The photo was captioned: "Back to the #emptynest after dropping our young man at college for sophomore year."

At the time, Al added: "But those labels can be frustrating; they don't begin to describe who Nick really is."

They've soaked up the sun in Europe and now Dylan and her husband, Brian Fichera, are back in New York with Rusty, one, Oliver, three, and Calvin, six.

Dylan explained that her relatives are huge New York Mets fans but had never stepped foot inside their New York home – until now.
