Two Months After Her Mother’s Unresolved Abduction, Savannah Guthrie Sets Her Return to NBC’s ‘Today’ Show
1 min readUpdated: Mar 27, 2026 07:00 PM Savannah Guthrie will return to her job as a co-anchor of NBC’s “Today” show on April 6, the network said on Friday, over two months after her 84-year-old mother’s unresolved abduction. It will be her first in-studio appearance on the show since January 30, two days before her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing from her Arizona home, NBC said.
“It’s hard to imagine doing it because it’s such a place of joy and lightness, and I can’t come back and try to be something that I’m not,” Savannah Guthrie said in an interview broadcast on the show Friday. “But I can’t come back, because it’s my family. I think it’s part of my purpose right now.”
Family members last saw Nancy Guthrie on January 31 after spending the evening at the Tucson home of her older daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her son-in-law.
The family has received ransom notes and has offered a $1 million reward for information that leads to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie.
