Savannah Clark Guthrie (born December 27, 1971) is an American broadcast journalist and lawyer. She is a main co-anchor of the NBC News morning show Today.[1] She began this position in July 2012.

Guthrie joined NBC News in September 2007 as a legal analyst and correspondent. Between 2008–2011, she was the White House correspondent. In 2010 and 2011, as co-anchor of the MSNBC program The Daily Rundown, Guthrie became the co-host of Today's third hour with Natalie Morales and Al Roker.[2] She stopped being the third-hour and chief legal analyst in 2012. Also in 2012 she replaced Ann Curry as the co-anchor of Today.

Guthrie was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She was raised in the United States.

Disappearance of mother

[change | change source]

On Sunday, February 1, 2026, Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home, after not showing up for a church service. Her pacemaker also disconnected from its app on her cell phone. Later that week, Savannah pleaded via social media with her brother and sister for their mother to return home safely and were willing to pay if a ransom was involved. Stains of Nancy’s blood were also found on her porch.

On Tuesday, February 10, security footage was released showing a masked man wearing gloves, trying to hide himself from the camera. No suspects have been arrested or charged as of February 10, 2026.[3] Due to this, Savannah Guthrie withdrew from her reporting role for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.
