Share this @internewscast.com

Savannah Guthrie said she didn’t know what veneers were after a reporter boldly asked whether she had them during an uncomfortable appearance on a red carpet.

The 53-year-old NBC Today host had been out celebrating the launch of her former colleague Hoda Kotb’s new wellness brand, Joy 101, at Current at Chelsea Piers last month when she was bizarrely asked about her teeth.

During a toe-curling interview with Parade Magazine, Guthrie seemed to be playing a game on the red carpet where she blindly chose questions that were written on folded pieces of paper to answer.

But when one contained an inquiry about her appearance, things turned awkward, eventually leading to Guthrie walking away abruptly.

A video of the tense moment has since gone viral on TikTok, dividing the internet. 

In the clip, Guthrie read the question aloud, which said: ‘Do you have veneers?’

‘What is that, like braces?’ Guthrie responded, appearing dumbfounded.

‘The teeth,’ the reporter helped.

‘Well, I did Invisalign,’ Guthrie replied. ‘Is that what that means? What are veneers?’

The reporter quipped: ‘You would know if you had it.’

‘OK, I guess no,’ Guthrie continued. ‘No, I don’t have veneers. I probably need them, whatever they are.’ 

‘No, your teeth are perfect,’ the reporter observed.

Guthrie quickly ended the interview after that, telling the journalist: ‘I’m going to get veneers. I gotta go, getting veneers.’

Viewers were split over the bizarre question, as well as Guthrie’s response – with some doubting Guthrie’s lack of knowledge about veneers.

Others criticized the interviewer for daring to ask such a personal inquiry, which they deemed as rude.

Taking to the comments, one said: ‘Why are people so rude to Savannah? OMG just let her be human, it’s literally not hard to be nice!’

Another wrote: ‘She’s a journalist and doesn’t know what veneers are?’

‘She knows what they are, give me a break,’ a third penned.

‘Oh come on,’ added a fourth. 

In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth.

Veneers can improve the aesthetics and function of a smile and protect the tooth’s surface from damage.

While Guthrie hasn’t had veneers, she has had treatment for her vision three times.

In 2021, she underwent her last surgery to re-attach her retina after her son threw a toy train at her eye two years prior.

Speaking to People at the time, she said: ‘My eye is good. The short answer is that it’s good, and I think I’ve had my last surgery. I really do.

‘And I’m seeing well, and I just actually got a prescription for eyeglasses, which I haven’t been able to wear [yet]. So, I’m super excited to wear glasses.

‘And I kind of can’t believe that this all took so long, but honestly since the surgery I had last summer after the pandemic, my eyesight’s been dramatically better.’

She previously underwent surgery to re-attach the retina in her eye in November 2019, shortly after the accident left her with blurry vision.

But the surgery didn’t fix Guthrie’s sight issues and and she had developed cataracts by July 2020. 

In April 2021, she sought medical attention again.

Guthrie shares daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, eight, with husband Michael Feldman.
