Is Savannah Guthrie Leaving the “Today” Show for Good?

The future of one of America’s most beloved news anchors is reportedly in doubt. Sources close to the situation have told NewsNation that Savannah Guthrie may never return to her co-anchor seat at NBC following the terrifying disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The Heartbreaking Reason Behind the Move:
Senior producer Paula Froelich reports that Savannah is “shattered” and deeply concerned that her high-profile career made her mother a target. There are fears that past televised segments showing Nancy’s home may have inadvertently provided a roadmap for “bad actors.” According to NewsNation Prime, Savannah is struggling with the idea that her public life led to this nightmare.
Latest Update on the Investigation:
The Abduction: Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1.
FBI Evidence: Investigators have recovered unidentified DNA at the scene and released doorbell footage of a masked suspect carrying a black Ozark Trail backpack.
Ransom Demands: The family has received chilling demands for millions of dollars in Bitcoin. In a desperate plea, the family stated, “We will pay,” just to see her return safely.
Savannah has already been replaced by Mary Carillo for the 2026 Winter Olympics coverage, and insiders suggest she is now prioritizing her family’s safety over her career at NBC.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Savannah and the entire Guthrie family during this unimaginably difficult time.
