Savannah Guthrie was left utterly shocked during a recent episode of *The Today Show* 

when a surprise video message from tennis legend Roger Federer appeared on screen. 

The message, which came ahead of his new Super Bowl commercial with the running shoe brand On, 

not only caught Savannah by surprise but also had a playful twist that left her speechless.

The unexpected appearance began when Carson Daly introduced the segment, teasing a special message for Savannah. 

“Savannah, it comes with a special message just for you,” he said, setting the stage for the surprise. 

As the video rolled, a smiling Federer appeared on screen, greeting Savannah with a friendly, yet humorous tone.

“Hi Savannah, I hope you’re doing well. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other,” Federer began, before cheekily asking, “Are you avoiding me ever so slightly? I’m not sure.” The playful comment had Savannah laughing in genuine surprise, with her mouth agape in astonishment. Clearly caught off guard, she was seen struggling to regain her composure as Federer continued with his message.

While the pair share a good-natured friendship, Federer was not done with his lighthearted jab. He continued, “Look, I’ve been with On for some time now, as you know. A lot of people still mistake it for QC, which I’m surprised to hear. Now, I went to get some help from this furry little friend of mine, and he’s ultra-famous and super cute.” The mention of a furry friend piqued curiosity, leaving viewers and Savannah eager to see what else Federer had in store.

The legendary Swiss tennis star wrapped up the video by inviting Savannah to Switzerland, saying, “I really hope you like it. You’re the first to see it and come to Switzerland. See you soon, bye Savannah.” 

Once the video concluded, Savannah, still processing the playful exchange, jokingly announced to her co-hosts, “Sorry, I’m doing my airline ticket right now,” implying that she would be booking a trip to visit Federer in Switzerland. Carson Daly couldn’t resist chiming in with a humorous remark, “Wouldn’t it be great if that was just a Super Bowl ad?”

The lighthearted banter segued into the much-anticipated debut of the Super Bowl commercial featuring Roger Federer alongside the beloved character Elmo. In the ad, the two icons engage in a playful debate over the letters on the sneakers from the On brand. The commercial’s whimsical nature made it a perfect fit for the Super Bowl’s ad lineup, blending humor with a dose of star power.

Following the commercial, Savannah offered her congratulations to Federer, commenting, “Good job, Rog. See you in Switzerland,” referring to his impressive ad. Carson, sensing an opportunity for more fun, asked Savannah if she planned to bring her husband, Michael Feldman, along on her trip to Switzerland. Savannah responded with a playful quip: “Of course. Rog likes Mike better than he likes me, like most of you,” showcasing her typical wit and self-deprecating humor.

In addition to her ongoing role as co-host on *The Today Show*, Savannah recently revealed some exciting news about branching out into acting. The news anchor made a cameo appearance in Netflix’s *The Night Agent* season 2. Sharing her excitement on Instagram, she posted a picture with the caption: “Acting. Night Agent season 2 on @netflix.” During a chat with her *Today* co-stars, she humorously discussed the role, joking, “I just act like Savannah Guthrie all day and all night. I even sleep as her. It’s extremely method. I go to work as her. That’s how I got into the role. I just was very method.”

Savannah’s unexpected career pivot into acting adds an interesting layer to her already diverse professional life, as she balances her duties as a prominent TV anchor with the thrill of exploring a new creative outlet.

With her friendly relationship with Roger Federer, her budding acting career, and her lighthearted interactions with her *Today* co-hosts, it’s clear that Savannah Guthrie continues to captivate both her audience and her colleagues with her wit, charm, and effortless humor. The playful banter with Federer and the behind-the-scenes moments on *The Today Show* give viewers a glimpse into the fun dynamic between the show’s hosts and their guests.
