TODAY Show anchor Savannah Guthrie visited the show's studio Thursday (March 4) for the first time since her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, went missing more than a month ago, TMZ reports.

Guthrie, 54, was seen hugging staff and crew in photos taken from outside the window of Stuio 1A in Rockefeller Center during the emotional reunion, which was confirmed by a TODAY Show spokesperson.

"Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues. 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 in a statement to TMZ.

Guthrie's TODAY Show status has not been publicly revealed, though multiple television veterans told Status News last month that she's not expected to return to her role after her mother's suspected kidnapping.

“There’s no way Savannah’s coming back,” one source said. “I can’t imagine she would even want to.”

Another television executive acknowledged Guthrie's importance to the show, claiming, “If you could pick one person across the span of morning TV that a show would not want to lose, it would be Savannah.”

“Savannah was always the glue on that show, and without that, this whole paradigm of our morning anchor team as a family, that connective tissue has just been ripped out,” the source added.

Guthrie's longtime former co-anchor, Hoda Kotb, has appeared on the show in her absence despite her own exit from NBC in January 2025. Kotb is reported to be back again next week, though there's no plan to keep her for the foreseeable future as NBC executives are taking the situation week by week, according to Page Six.

The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has no clear suspects nor strong leads more than a month after being launched. Savannah, her sister, Annie Guthrie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, carried flowers while being escorted by Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies to the memorial site in front of Nancy's home in a video shared by NewsNation reporter Brian Entin earlier this week. Savannah also shared a photo of flowers at the memorial on her Instagram account on Monday.

"We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛," Savannah wrote. "Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home."
