Savannah Guthrie has the full support of her colleagues at NBC News as the search continues for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The TV personality, who co-hosts the “Today Show,” has been absent from the program since the incident. NBC News is, however, reportedly committed to keeping attention on the case until there are developments.
Savannah Guthrie’s colleagues are also said to be providing emotional support as she navigates this difficult time.
NBC News Has Rallied Around Savannah Guthrie Amid Her Mother’s Disappearance
Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Savannah, is not alone as the search for her mother nears its third month.
According to sources, her colleagues at NBC News have rallied around her to help bring answers to Nancy’s disappearance and secure her safe return.
“This is not just a story to them — this is family,” one source told Rob Shuter’s #ShutterScoop. “Every top reporter, every legal mind, every law enforcement contact they have is being used.”
To further demonstrate how serious the network is about supporting Savannah, NBC News has reportedly brought in its top investigative teams, including producers from Dateline NBC, known for their in-depth reporting and storytelling.
This move is intended to ensure that Nancy’s case does not become overlooked or forgotten.
“They have the best in the business, and they’re all working this,” the insider further remarked. “They are determined to keep attention on this case.”
NBC Is Reportedly Considering Major Plans To Keep Attention On The Case With ‘Primetime Special’
Part of the network’s strategy to keep attention on Nancy’s kidnapping includes the potential release of a primetime special.
This could feature details already made public by the police, information about any reward being offered, and other key aspects of the case.
“There’s active talk of a primetime special,” an insider claimed. “They want to keep this in the national spotlight until there are answers.”
Furthermore, the network is reportedly looking to involve high-profile individuals to raise awareness and generate funds to support further investigation into the case.
Jimmy Fallon, host of “The Tonight Show,” is already being considered to lead any such initiative if it moves forward.
“There are even discussions about a major New York City benefit concert,” the insider added. “Big names, big awareness — possibly hosted by Jimmy Fallon.”
Savannah Guthrie Is Keen On Returning To Her Role
Following her mother’s kidnapping, Savannah took a break from her role on the “Today Show” to focus on the case.
Her position has been temporarily filled by Hoda Kotb, who has repeatedly shown public support for her colleague as she navigates this difficult time.
Still, questions remain about when Savannah will return, with some insiders claiming it could be as early as next month. While no official date has been confirmed, it is believed the TV anchor is eager to return despite her distress, but for now, she remains focused on the situation at hand.
“She wants to come back,” an insider noted about Savannah. “But right now, her focus is her family — and finding her mom.”
The ‘Today Show’ Co-Host Reportedly Voiced Her Desire To Return During A Visit To The Studio
Savannah’s last appearance at the “Today Show” studio was on March 5, marking her first visit since her mother’s mysterious disappearance.
According to a source, the emotional reunion saw the broadcast journalist express her desire to return, though she appeared unsure about how she would gather herself to make it happen.
“I have every intention of coming back,” Savannah declared, per reports. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to.”
She added, “You’re my family. And I would like to try.”
Savannah Guthrie Reassured Her Colleagues That She ‘Still Has Hope’
During the visit, Savannah also shared her appreciation for her colleagues for “caring about my mom as much as I do” and hinted at why she chose to visit amid the situation.
“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me. And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be,” the former White House correspondent further remarked.
Savannah’s visit was later confirmed by Jenna Bush Hager, who stated that her co-anchor is “beyond loved here” while fighting back tears on air.
