The Today show is in turmoil behind the scenes as producers scramble to find fill-in hosts for fake friends Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb in the wake of their days-long absences, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Fans were left baffled when neither Savannah nor Hoda appeared on their screen, instead seeing Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones in their place earlier this week. On Thursday, Craig and Sheinelle were joined by Today Weekend host Peter Alexander. …

Craig and Sheinelle attempted to explain Savannah and Hoda’s absences, alleging the duo got “an early jump on the holiday,” but RadarOnline.com has learned there’s more to their missing faces than that.

Sources revealed NBC executives warned the dueling divas to “stop the b——- and backstabbing, or you’re toast!”

The morning co-hosts have reportedly been locked in a power struggle for years, and in recent months it has spiraled out of control, leaving everyone — including guests — feeling the tension.
