Kotb and Guthrie started their day at 4:45 A.M. sharp by driving to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City where they immediately got to work preparing for their interviews with guests. By 6 A.M., they were with their team of hair and makeup artists who made sure the co-anchors were camera ready before the show began at 7 A.M. local time.

During the first commercial break at 7:24 A.M., the two moms enjoyed a quick Face Time session with their kids as they got ready for their own day at school.
