Savannah Guthrie is expected to remain off the Today show as the search for her missing mother, Nancy, continues. She has not appeared on air since Feb. 1, the day her mother was reported missing.
While some TV insiders speculate she may not return, others say no decision has been made. Sources close to NBC stress that Guthrie’s focus is entirely on her family, and executives reportedly value her highly, taking the situation week by week. Former co-anchor Hoda Kotb has stepped in temporarily during her absence.
Guthrie, a longtime NBC journalist and attorney, joined the network in 2007 and became co-anchor of Today in 2012. Known for her political coverage and high-profile interviews, she has been a central figure in morning television for over a decade. For now, her future on the show remains uncertain as she prioritizes her family.
