Savannah Guthrie Has ‘Every Intention Of Coming Back‘ To ‘Today’

During her visit, the co-anchor reportedly assured her colleagues that she will definitely be returning and thanked them for their continued support and prayers.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Guthrie’s March 5 visit to the “Today” show set was filled with emotion, as the co-anchor saw the show’s staff for the first time since her mother Nancy Guthrie disappeared on February1.

During the unplanned visit with the show’s staff, Guthrie reportedly thanked them for “caring about my mom as much as I do,” among other kind words.

“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope and I’m still me. I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be,” she continued.

Guthrie also used the impromptu meeting to confirm that she will indeed return to the show, as the investigation into her mother’s disappearance continues.

“I have every intention of coming back. I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family and I would like to try,” Guthrie said, per the outlet.

In a show of support for Guthrie’s heart-breaking ordeal, Dreyer led the show’s staff in a group prayer that was said to be highly emotional.

“We’re here holding hands as a family, in a place where we don’t understand why this is happening. It is not too bold to ask God for the biggest miracles every day,” he said.

“It felt like the right moment for all of us,” Dreyer revealed during the broadcast on Friday, March 6. “When I feel helpless, I pray… We asked for that miracle.”

Fellow “Today” show anchor Carson Daly also shared how meaningful Guthrie’s visit was.

“She came into the middle, no speech, spoke from the heart. Said the most perfect words you could ever imagine and looked every one of this family in the eyes,” Daly said on the show. “Yesterday was one of the most special days not just in our lives professionally but personally.”

According to PEOPLE, on Thursday, March 5, Guthrie “stopped by the studio to be with and thank her ‘Today’ colleagues,” a show spokesperson said via statement, per the outlet.

Although her visit to the show does not mean that a return date for Guthrie has been set, she will reportedly be back on-air at some point.

“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 statement continued.

After posting an Instagram video on February 25 announcing she was increasing the reward for her mother’s return to $1 million, Guthrie reportedly decided to leave Arizona, where her mother lives and disappeared, to return to her home base in New York.

According to the Daily Mail, an inside source shared the details behind the decision.

“She can’t stay in Arizona forever. Her kids and her life are in New York City,” the source told the outlet. “The family is coming to terms with the fact that this might take years.”

On Monday, March 2, Guthrie, her sister Annie, and her brother-in-law Tommaso were seen gathered outside a memorial in front of Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home.

The family was photographed embracing each other as they laid flowers at the memorial for their mother. Per TMZ, other well-wishers also laid bouquets and notes at the memorial site.

Despite the investigation yielding no substantial results, both the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department remain optimistic they will bring Nancy Guthrie home.
