“The Today” show has more information about Savannah Guthrie’s return after she visited the set on Thursday and made an emotional appearance off-camera. After her surprise visit, the NBC News talk show said that she thanked her coworkers for their love and support and for “caring about my mom as much as I do.”
Since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was apparently kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona, on the weekend of January 31, the long-time co-anchor of Today has not been on the air.
Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 and has a heart condition, has not been seen or heard from since. Right now, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI haven’t made any serious leads public.
“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me. I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be,” Guthrie told the Today team during her visit.
It was unclear whether Guthrie would return to work on Today, but during her visit, she said she does plan to return, although she isn’t sure how it will all work out.
