The daytime talk show shared a nearly 6-minute video on Thursday, June 20, that featured a trip down memory lane with some of the biggest personalities to appear on the popular series throughout the years.
“Wow, 25 years. Has it really been 25 years? The plaza was reopened and it was a big deal, and Bryant [Gumbel] and Katie [Couric] were out there,” Savannah Guthrie, 47, said in the video before a throwback clip of Gumbel and Couric appeared.
Lauer, who once held a prominent role on the morning show from 1997 to 2017, was notably absent from this video — even in regards to throwback clips.
