Savannah Guthrie’s future on the Today show remains uncertain as she continues to deal with the disappearance of her mother, Nancy. Guthrie stepped away from her co-hosting duties on February 1 after her mother was taken from her Tucson home.
Dylan Dreyer’s Update
Co-star Dylan Dreyer recently spoke with TMZ about Guthrie’s possible return. Dreyer confirmed that Guthrie intends to come back but admitted the timing is unclear. “None of us know what that looks like. She doesn’t know what that looks like. But we’re all open to it. We love her dearly, and we want her back,” Dreyer said.
Guthrie’s Visit to the Set
On March 5, Guthrie visited the Today set for the first time in over a month. She expressed gratitude to her colleagues for their support during this difficult time. “I have every intention of coming back,” Guthrie told her coworkers. “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.”
Dreyer described the reunion as emotional, saying it was “exactly what we needed to just hug her, pray for her.” She added that Guthrie needed the comfort of her colleagues as much as they needed to see her.
Hoda Kotb Steps In
Since Guthrie’s absence, Hoda Kotb has been filling in as co-host. Kotb’s return marks her first time back on the show since retiring early last year, ensuring continuity for viewers while Guthrie focuses on her family.
Looking Ahead
While Guthrie’s comeback date remains unknown, her colleagues and fans are hopeful. Her emotional words and determination to return highlight her deep connection to the Today family. For now, the show continues with Kotb and Dreyer, but Guthrie’s eventual return is eagerly awaited.
