At the time, he also expressed his excitement about working with Savannah Guthrie. He said it was what he was “most excited” for. “A pro’s pro, the gold standard,” he said. “She’s become like the big sister I never had growing up, and to be able to start this new chapter with her, it’s pretty exciting.”
