Savannah Guthrie is set to return to the 'Today' show on April 6, her first big career move since her mother Nancy went missing nearly two months ago.
Authorities believe that Nancy was kidnapped, but no suspects have been identified yet.
During a recent broadcast, co-host Jenna Bush Hager summed up their feeling with a sweet but striking message to Hoda Kotb, 'We needed you.'
Kotb echoed that bond, replying: “When we say family, we mean it.”
Savannah Guthrie opens up on emotional struggle in a deeply personal interview with Kotb, her first since her mother’s disappearance.
She admitted she is unsure what returning will feel like, but is willing to try.
Guthrie also shared her family’s belief that her mother may have been abducted for ransom, while expressing fears that her own public profile could have played a role.
Her scheduled return, set for Easter Monday, has not gone unnoticed by colleagues, with Al Roker reflecting on the timing.
