Savannah Guthrie returned to the TODAY show on Monday after a two-month absence due to her mother Nancy Guthrie's disappearance from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Wearing a vibrant yellow dress, a nod to the yellow ribbons and flowers placed outside her mother's residence, Savannah stated, “It is good to be home.” Co-anchor Craig Melvin welcomed her back, emphasizing her importance to the show. Savannah acknowledged the support from fans gathered outside Rockefeller Plaza, expressing her excitement to connect with them. However, her return sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users expressing sympathy and others questioning how she could return to work while her mother remains missing. Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, with authorities suspecting possible kidnapping or abduction after she failed to arrive at a friend's house for virtual church services. The last confirmed sighting of Nancy was on the evening of January 31.
