Savannah Guthrie was absent from the Today show for a second consecutive broadcast.
“So happy that Sheinelle [Jones] is here while Savannah is on assignment,” Guthrie’s co-anchor Craig Melvin began the Thursday, June 18, episode of the morning show.
Jones, 48, subsequently joked that Guthrie, 54, was, instead, among the thousands of New Yorkers packed in the lower Manhattan crowd ahead of the New York Knicks’ victory parade after winning the 2026 NBA Championships.
Guthrie, meanwhile, is actually away working on another work assignment, which Melvin, 47, confirmed on the second hour was part of pre-production on the Wordle game show.
Savannah Guthrie was absent from the Wednesday, June 17, broadcast of Today. Today co-anchor Craig Melvin revealed at the start of Wednesday’s show that Savannah, 54, is “on assignment” and, thus, would not be present for the remainder of the episode. Sheinelle Jones, who hosts the fourth hour with Jenna Bush Hager, sat at the […]
Guthrie was previously absent from the Wednesday, June 17, broadcast of Todayduring which Melvin revealed that she was “on assignment.” Jones similarly filled in for Guthrie at the time.
Guthrie had returned to Today in April, months after her mother was reported missing at the beginning of the year.
“It’s really hard to come back and I’ve been trying so hard to hold it together. I promise I will. This show and this hour especially is about joy,” the TV journalist said on Today With Jenna and Sheinelle earlier this month, speaking to Jenna Bush Hager. “Having you, people behind the scenes, people in my ear, the producers, our cast mates. When I see you in the morning, I know that you see me. No matter what is going on.”
Savannah’s mom, Nancy Guthriewas reported missing from her house in Arizona in February. (Nancy, 84, has not been located yet, nor has any suspect been arrested in connection with her apparent kidnapping.)
My sister, Annie, called, she said, ‘She’s gone,’” Savannah said on Today in Marchrecalling how she found out about their mother’s disappearance. “She was in a panic. I was in a panic. I’m like, ‘Call 911.’ She’s like. ‘I did. We called them. They’re here.’ It was just chaos and disbelief. From the very early moments, Annie and [her husband] were saying [to authorities]‘This isn’t a case that you are used to, where someone wanders off. She can’t wander off.”
Savannah Guthrie’s Today show family is “happy” she’s returned to work after a two-month hiatus amid her mother Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance — but only time will tell how Savannah will reacclimate to the job. “Everyone is supportive of Savannah’s return and very happy to have her back,” an insider exclusively tells Us Weekly after Savannah, […]
As Nancy’s case has spanned over 100 days, Savannah also needed to inform her two kids with husband Michael Feldman about the harrowing situation.
“It’s so hard with kids. You want to protect them,” Savannah stated at the time. “They’ll write me all the time, ‘Mama, any leads? You hear anything? Any hope?’ I think that we try to talk to them and try to get them a little more certainty than we have, to let them grieve.”
Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, have since continued to advocate for more information about Nancy’s whereabouts and recovery.
