Savannah Guthrie Remains Off 'Today' Amid Ongoing Search for Missing Mother

Savannah Guthrie Today show missing mother NBC controversy viewer backlash

NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie was absent from the "Today" show for a second consecutive day, with no on‑air explanation provided. Her continued leave comes as her mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since January 31, a case that has involved the FBI and local authorities and remains unsolved.

Viewers criticized the program after producers assigned Guthrie to report a story about a missing elderly man, calling the decision "sick and twisted" and questioning why she was given that assignment while her own mother is still missing. Guthrie previously addressed her mother's disappearance on‑air, stating, "We are in agony, and we cannot be at peace. We love our mom. We'll never stop looking for her."
