NBC Staffers Reportedly Hoped Savannah Guthrie Wouldn’t Return Amid Tragedy: ‘You Can’t Trust Anyone’ Savannah Guthrie, the co-anchor of NBC’s Today show, plans to return to the network despite the ongoing search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. The 54-year-old anchor revealed her intention to return to work at some point, though her focus remains on locating Nancy, who has been missing since February 1. Earlier this week, Guthrie visited colleagues at NBC’s Today studio, but a new report suggests some staffers were frustrated by the news of her eventual return. According to a March 6 report in the Daily Mail, multiple sources claimed that production staff at Today were relieved when Guthrie’s absence was initially announced. Many had grown accustomed to Hoda Kotb, who has filled in for her since Nancy’s disappearance. Some staffers reportedly felt more comfortable with Kotb’s presence, as they believed the show’s dynamic had shifted in her absence. One insider told the Daily Mail that the environment at Today had become “a viper’s nest,” with tensions running high among the team. The source added that even in difficult circumstances, the staff could not trust one another, with some fearing that colleagues might betray their positions or steal opportunities. “From the hair and makeup people to the producers, you can’t trust anyone, they all talk,” another source claimed. While the majority of staff expressed hope for Nancy’s safe return, a few were more focused on their own futures within the morning program. Some reportedly considered how they could secure more screen time or influence over the show’s direction. However, the report emphasized that the staff’s primary concern remained the search for Nancy.#nbc #nancy_guthrie #today_show #savannah_guthrie #daily_mail
