In the midst of the intense search for her missing mother, Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Mike Feldman, paid a heartfelt visit to the “Today” show to express gratitude to her colleagues for their overwhelming support.
Sources indicate that since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home almost a month ago, Savannah and her family have been deeply moved by the compassion shown by her NBC colleagues.
“The support has transcended the typical workplace dynamic,” a source close to Savannah shared with Page Six, highlighting the unity within the company.
Colleagues have been actively offering help, asking, “Can we send clothes, arrange meals, look after the kids? Can we provide a distraction to help them cope as a family?” The source emphasized, “The love and concern are genuine.”
Feldman’s visit to the “Today” show occurred about two weeks ago, and according to an insider present, it was an emotional gathering. “There were many tears,” the insider recounted.
They added he was there on behalf of his wife to simply thank them. Savannah’s family has been isolated, mainly interacting with each other and law enforcement, so, “it was great for him to look everyone in the eye and vice versa.”
“It was a large group and he went around and thanked everyone, and got a bunch of hugs,” the insider said. “This is an extension of their family, and never more so than now. They’re more than coworkers. The tears were real, and [the colleagues] are struggling too.”
The first source told us Savannah’s, “not in a position to respond to anyone right now because it’s too overwhelming, but she’s seeing the messages, and hears the prayers.”
Meanwhile, Feldman has been traveling back and forth from New York to Arizona, where Savannah is with her family, as the search for Nancy, who went missing on Feb.1, continues. Savannah continues to be off from the “Today” show and her former co-anchor Hoda Kotb has been filling in. Sources told us a return to work is the furthest thing from Savannah’s mind at the moment.
Savannah last addressed the public in a video she posted on Feb 15, where she made a plea for her mom’s kidnappers to “do the right thing… it’s never too late,” she said. In the meantime, “the family’s never prayed as much,” the first source said. “She’s the chief faith officer in the family, and [the faith is] strong as ever.”
