Savannah Guthrie and her co-hosts on the "Today" show had a good laugh during the live broadcast on Thursday morning when she had some trouble with her microphone. There is potential for all sorts of hilarious moments as everyone adjusts to doing the show from their homes, and Guthrie learned that all too well.
Just as the show was about to go live on air, Guthrie's microphone that was clipped to the top of her shirt fell down the inside of her shirt. She decided to reach in to retrive it, which was caught by the cameras.
"Right before we came on, my mic, which was right here, dropped down my shirt, and I knew I was supposed to read the intro, so I just made a decision to reach out and get it," Guthrie said.
All four hosts could be seen cracking up at the mishap. "That timing was perfect. I see a meme in your future or a GIF," Hoda Kotb joked.
"It was all very innocent!" Guthrie said.

This isn't the first time Guthrie has had a funny moment caught on camera while filming the show from home.
A couple of weeks ago, her five and three year-old climbed up onto her lap on live TV.
"Who decided it was time to curl up and snuggle up with Savannah? Charley!" Kotb exclaimed at the time, adding of the adorable mother-son moment, "My blood pressure went down SG!"
"They multiplied! Now they're both here," Guthrie joked. "In the sixth week of home basement broadcasting, we've really broken the seal. The duct tape on the door has been lifted and here they are."
"I think this should be our permanent morning boost, we'll just keep referring back," Kotb said.
Despite the potential for embarrassing moments, Guthrie told "Entertainment Tonight" that she likes working from home.
"We're all getting a lot of time together, which is actually really great. But also I feel like our kids really need us right now — whatever age they are — whether they seem like it or not. They know and they sense, even little ones like ours," she said.
The CDC has issued some tips for helping to avoid contracting the disease.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
