Today Show host Savannah Guthrie is set to make a courageous return to daytime television for the first time since the unsettling disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Savannah has been absent from The Today Show since January 30, a few days prior to her mother’s mysterious vanishing from her Tucson, Arizona residence. Despite the unresolved investigation, Savannah has chosen to remain in the public sphere.
In an exclusive interview with her friend and colleague Hoda Kotb, Savannah discussed her decision to return to The Today Show, describing it as “this beautiful place that we call home.”
“It’s difficult to envision rejoining because it’s such a space filled with joy and light, and I cannot pretend to be someone I’m not,” Savannah expressed. “Yet, I can’t stay away either, because it’s my family. I feel it’s part of my calling right now.”
As the conversation continued in the three-part interview, she shared, “In challenging times, you seek your family. I want to be with mine. I don’t know if I can do it or if I’ll fit in anymore, but I’d like to try. I’d like to try.”
This was not the first time Savannah reunited with her colleagues. She reportedly visited the studio in March but did not appear on-camera. Her colleagues praised her decision at the time, noting it was “a step” in the right direction.
Now, Savannah will be returning to The Today Show in a regular capacity.
When will Savannah Guthrie return to The Today Show?
Kotb shared on The Today Show after Savannah’s tell-all interview that she will be returning to the NBC talk show beginning Monday, April 6.
Viewers can tune in beginning Monday morning to see Savannah reprise her seat at Craig Melvin‘s side in the first two hours of Today.
“A lot of people are wondering, ‘Is she coming back?’” Kotb announced on March 27. “Well, she is coming back to this job that she loves here at Today. We’re glad to say that she will start here, sitting next to this wonderful human being, Craig, Monday, April 6.”
There are many ways to tune in. Viewers can tune in via your local NBC affiliate beginning at 7 a.m. ET.
Viewers can also tune in on Peacock, which also offers a broadcast option for subscribers, or watch on NBC.com and the Today Show YouTube channel.
It remains to be seen how The Today Show will handle having Savannah return to the show. But her colleagues will be welcoming her back with open arms.
