Savannah Guthrie Gives Emotional First Interview

Savannah Guthrie

Savannah Guthrie gave her first on‑camera interview since her mother Nancy’s disappearance, speaking emotionally with Hoda Kotb; excerpts will air on Today on Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27.

Key details: During the March 25 episode, Kotb said the interview was “really emotional” and previewed a clip in which Guthrie, tearful, pleaded for anyone with information to come forward: “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. … It is unbearable.” Guthrie described sleepless nights and imagining her mother’s terror, saying, “She needs to come home now.” Kotb told cohosts Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Carson Daly that Guthrie expresses both desperation and “steeliness,” discussing the investigation, her faith and how she is coping across the full interview.


Background/context: The two‑part interview will run over consecutive mornings on Today as the family and investigators continue efforts to find Nancy; the preview underscores both the personal toll on Guthrie and the program’s intent to provide an extended forum for her message and updates.
