Daniella Guzman is trading in her evening newscasts for early mornings — at least for this week.

Starting today, the KPRC 2 Houston evening anchor fills in for morning anchor Owen Conflenti.
UPDATE: KPRC viewers tell me that Conflenti returned with Guzman and morning co-anchor Sofía Ojeda was seen on Guzman's normal evening newscasts. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist here, but it all kinda makes me wonder if they are trying out different anchor pairs and watching the reaction. If I'm wrong, I will just start watching New Jersey drone videos with my tinfoil hat on.
"Yes, I'm saying good morning," she posted in a Facebook video. "Do you know how long it's been since I have had a cup of coffee on a set like this? It’s almost 5:00 in the morning, and I’m filling in for the morning show, and so I'm off nights for this whole week."
Guzman's 5, 6, and 10 p.m. viewers will notice her absence during the week as she temporarily shifts to mornings, but these aren't exactly new hours for the seasoned anchor. Before returning to Houston night TV, Guzman was no stranger to morning shows, having anchored for the NBC-owned stations in Chicago and Los Angeles.
"I love morning shows! They’re a lot of fun," Guzman said with a smile.
While her evening audience will miss her for a week, Guzman is excited to join her KPRC 2 morning colleagues, including Sofia Ojeda at the AM newsdesk.
"A lot of people taking off, we're all helping each other out," she added.
