Today shared an update after Savannah Guthrie made an emotional, off-camera visit to the set on Thursday. During the brief appearance, she expressed gratitude to her colleagues for their support, noting how much it meant that they cared deeply about her mother as well.
Guthrie has been away from the broadcast since reports emerged that her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing in Tucson, Arizona, around the weekend of January 31. Nancy Guthrie is said to have a heart condition, which has added urgency to the ongoing search efforts. Authorities, including the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, continue to investigate, though no significant developments have been publicly confirmed.
In her message to the team, Guthrie shared a personal reflection, saying she remains hopeful despite the uncertainty. She acknowledged that the experience has been deeply challenging, but emphasized her determination to keep moving forward, even as she navigates the unknown.
While her exact return to the show remains uncertain, Guthrie indicated that she does intend to come back when she is able. For now, the focus remains on her family and the search for answers, with colleagues and viewers continuing to offer support during an incredibly difficult time.
