Happy anniversary, Savannah!

On Friday morning, the TODAY show celebrated co-anchor Savannah Guthrie’s five year anniversary or her “Savannahversary,” as they called it. The show prepared a special video montage, looking back at Guthrie's most memorable moments on air.

Fellow co-anchors Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb, Kathie Lee Gifford, Carson Daly and Jenna Bush Hager expressed their respect and affection for her and celebrated in-studio with Savannah’s favorite milkshakes and cake.

“You make it look way too easy,” gushed co-anchor Matt Lauer.

“I walk into this building and I can’t believe that it’s me,” Guthrie, 45, said. “And they call this work? No way. This is the joy of a lifetime.”

Jenna Bush Hager wrote a touching personal essay on TODAY.com revealing why her friend, co-worker, and next-door neighbor is so special.

“Sometimes, as I watch our daughters play like sisters or when we spend an entire car ride talking about life so rapidly that we barely breathe, I can't believe Savannah and I are new friends, that our friendship just started only five years ago,” Hager wrote. “I'm grateful that this job brought us together.”

“I work with the most talented and wonderful people,” she shared. “Thank you, @TODAYshow for the joy of a lifetime. (Enjoy the hairdos)”
