- Savannah Guthrie stopped by the Manhattan studio of the “Today” show on Thursday.
- The morning show co-host has been on hiatus from the NBC program since her mother’s disappearance.
- A “Today” spokesperson said Guthrie has plans to return to the show one day.
“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie visited the New York City studio of the NBC morning program on Thursday as the search for her missing mother entered its 33rd day.
Guthrie has been on hiatus from the show and with her family in Arizona since her mother’s mysterious February 1 disappearance. Last month, Guthrie dropped out of NBC’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan amid the crisis.
Authorities believe that Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from her ranch-style home just outside Tucson, AZ, more than four weeks ago.
“Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her ‘TODAY’ colleagues,” a “Today” show spokesperson told NBC News in a statement on Thursday. The “Today” show and NBC did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
The spokesperson added that Savannah Guthrie plans to return to co-hosting the morning show at some point, though no timeline was provided.
“While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home,” the spokesperson said.
Last week, Savannah Guthrie announced that her family is offering as much as $1 million for the return of her mother, while acknowledging that the elderly woman may be dead.

The veteran anchor said in an Instagram video message that her family still believes “in a miracle,” but said, “We also know that she may be lost.”
The reward offered by the Guthrie family is on top of the $100,000 that the FBI has already offered for information related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
As the search for Nancy Guthrie drags on, local law enforcement and the FBI are still trying to identify the masked and armed man who was captured on footage from the woman’s missing Nest doorbell camera the night she vanished.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said investigators found drops of blood on Nancy Guthrie’s porch that were later confirmed to be hers.
