Savannah Guthrie’s commitment left viewers in awe as hosted Tuesday's episode of 'Today' before getting on with NBC's election coverage that went on till late night.

When the network paused its election coverage on Wednesday morning to transition into 'Today', Guthrie appeared unfazed despite her exhausting schedule.

"Hi, everybody. We're back at 8 am on the east coast, 5 am in the west," Guthrie told viewers at the beginning of the Wednesday episode.

"If you are just waking up, a long election night stretching into the morning. I've had three cups of coffee lined up here," she added.

"The race is still too close to call in some of those western battlegrounds in Michigan," she said, summarizing the election's tight results.

"But the bottom line is clear as day. Donald Trump once again the president-elect, the 45th president set to return to the White House."

Fans express concern over Savannah Guthrie’s exhausting schedule

Fans could not help but notice how long Savannah Guthrie had been on air, with some expressing genuine concern for her well-being.

"I wake up, I see @SavannahGuthrie on TV…come home from work, she’s on TV. I wake up today, she’s STILL on TV. Has she slept!?" one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Others joked about the caffeine fueling her non-stop performance, saying, "The amount of caffeine that has to be pumping through Savannah Guthrie’s body is probably alarming. Girl has been killing it on TV for 24 hours. Toasting my coffee to her."

Another said, “I don’t know how you are doing it… no sleep? Looking fresh as a daisy… keep up the good work!”

Savannah Guthrie keeps her spirits high despite grueling schedule

While her fans were concerned, Savannah Guthrie herself appeared upbeat about the long hours.

Before the big night, she shared a photo on social media of a handwritten note from her daughter, encouraging her with the words: "You got this! You’ve worked so hard!"

Guthrie also posted a photo of herself heading into NBC’s Rockefeller Center, adding, “Always so proud to walk into @nbcnews on Election Night,” along with a promise that she would be on air "all night long".

However, her usual cheerful demeanor gave way to a more somber tone as the election results came in. Guthrie, alongside her co-anchor Hoda Kotb, reported on the ongoing developments, with the tension of the close race palpable in their broadcasts.

NBC’s coverage continued throughout the day, with the network expected to air at least 24 consecutive hours of election programming. The extensive coverage led to the pre-emption of 'Today With Hoda & Jenna' on Wednesday morning, as well as Tuesday evening’s 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' and 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', reported Decider.
