Insiders Reveal Potential Timeline of Savannah Guthrie Returning to Today Show Amid Mom’s Kidnapping
Despite numerous reports claiming Savannah Guthrie would never come back to the Today show amid her mom Nancy Guthrie’s ongoing kidnapping case, insiders and colleagues claim she actually may return.
Rob Shuter recently appeared on the podcast The Nerve via Reality Tea, discussing Savannah’s potential return to Today.
“These stories never made sense to me that she wouldn’t come back. And I know Savannah. I’ve hung out with her in a social environment. She’s really ambitious,” he said. “You don’t get to be in that chair. You don’t get to start in local TV and work your way up to the Today show chair without really wanting it. And more importantly, her mom really wanted it, too.”
He added that if Savannah left, then “these monsters, these terrorists, I would say, win, and she will not let that happen.”
Shuter then said insiders told him Savannah could return in “two to three weeks,” but only time will tell.
For those who don’t know, Today Show host Savannah’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, has been missing since Feb 1, allegedly being the center of a calculated kidnapping and ransom plan. Despite the FBI working around the clock to find her, and the Guthrie family publicly pleading with her captors to show proof of life, little is known.
Earlier this month, Levin told Page Six that authorities are narrowing down a location, saying, “There is a radius around Tucson, [Ariz.], that they kind of disclose in this demand letter.” (This checks out since Nancy’s home is located in Catalina Foothills, an affluent neighborhood about six miles northeast of Tucson.)

The family has been ruled out as suspects, and the video footage has made the public even more scared about the whole ordeal.
Then, on February 24, Savannah put out another tearful plea for her mom’s safe return.
“Coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed, and every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then, of worrying about her and fearing for her, aching for her, and most of all, just missing her, missing her,” she said. “We know that millions of you have been praying. So many people have been praying of every faith and no faith at all, praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle.”
