Savannah Guthrie returns to 'Today' show studio for first time since mother went missing

Savannah Guthrie made her way back to the ‘Today’ show studio on Thursday morning, marking her first visit since the unsettling disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who is believed to have been abducted.

A spokesperson for the ‘Today’ show informed Fox News Digital that “Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues. While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now on supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home.”

TMZ acquired footage capturing a heartfelt moment as an emotional Savannah Guthrie embraced her colleagues during her visit to the morning show set.

Although Guthrie has been a familiar face on the morning news program for many years, her return to broadcasting remains uncertain as she prioritizes her family during this challenging time.

On Thursday, a visibly moved Jenna Bush Hager shared with the audience that Guthrie expressed her desire to come back to the show. “Even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it’s also her home and where she feels so loved,” Hager noted.

Co-host Sheinelle Jones added her support, stating, “Whenever [she is] ready, we are here.”

“I’m proud of Savannah, and I’m rooting for Savannah. And I know the strength that it would take to even just come in here and to be amongst all of us,” Jones said. “And so I see it as we’re in this storm, and we’re not out of the storm, but there’s a light somewhere even in the midst of the storm.”

“She said the yellow flowers and the pins, all of your prayers. She feels them. She depends on them,” Bush said.

Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her home in the early hours of Feb. 1. Yellow flowers, handwritten notes, artwork and even an open letter addressed to the “kidnapper” have been left at the makeshift tribute in front of her home.

Savannah, her sister Annie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, placed flowers at the growing tribute near the foot of Nancy’s driveway on Monday in a somber visit to the crime scene. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect, vehicle or any persons of interest.

A combined reward for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery from the FBI, local authorities and the Guthrie family stands at over $1 million.

Savannah is asking anyone with information to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.
