The Today show hosts announced on Wednesday (March 25) that Savannah Guthrie, their longtime co-host, had sat down for her first interview since the disappearance of her mom Nancy Guthrie, who was seemingly taken in the middle of the night over 50 days ago.
Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, Carson Daly and Al Rocker revealed that Savannah sat down for an interview with Hoda, and it would air this week on Thursday (March 26) and Friday (March 27).
“It has now been 53 days since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in the middle of the night and Hoda, yesterday, you got the chance to spend some time with our girl. You sat down with Savannah — her first interview since her mom’s disappearance,” Craig said.
Hoda added, “As you can imagine, it was a very emotional conversation. We’re going to have the whole thing for you tomorrow and Friday. But first, we wanted to bring you one of the moments of the interview where Savannah sent a message to anybody who may have some information.”

Savannah was in tears and emotional, saying, “Someone needs to do the right thing, we are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.”
“And to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought and I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now,” Savannah added.
In addition to airing the clip, Hoda gave an update on Savannah.
“There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah. I mean, she’s hoping that somebody — whoever this person is — will see something, say something,” Hoda said. “I was sorta marveling that she was able to sit there with an outfit on, have a conversation and also just have direct thoughts about what sees going forward.”
