Savannah Guthrie made a heartfelt return to NBC’s Today studio on March 5, 2026, for the first time since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing on January 31. The reunion, described as emotional by colleagues, marked a significant moment for the co-anchor as she shared her intentions to eventually return to the show despite the ongoing search for her mother. Guthrie expressed gratitude for the support her family has received since the disappearance, addressing her Today team during the visit. “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she told her colleagues. “I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’” Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31 in Tucson, Arizona, where police believe she was abducted. Investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and shared a description of the potential abductor, though no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly named. Guthrie’s return to the studio came just weeks after her mother’s disappearance, during which she has been on hiatus from the show. Retired Today host Hoda Kotb has been filling in for her. Guthrie emphasized her desire to return to the Today team, though she has not set a specific timeline. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And I would like to try,” she said. Her colleagues praised her resilience and the emotional impact of her visit. During the reunion, Today’s weather correspondent Dylan Dreyer led a group prayer, stating, “We’re here holding hands as a family, in a place where we don’t understand why this is happening. It is not too bold to ask God for the biggest miracles every day.#savannah_guthrie #nancy_guthrie #tucson_arizona #today_show #hoda_kotb
