Savannah Guthrie expected to return to NBC’s Today show after family crisis

NEW YORK. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Savannah Guthrie is expected to return to work on Today, though a timeline has not yet been announced.

NBC News made its first public comments Thursday about Guthrie’s future on the program. The network said Guthrie recently stopped by the Today show set for the first time since her mother’s apparent abduction from her home in Tucson, Arizona more than a month ago.

Guthrie spent several weeks in Arizona assisting with the search before recently returning to her home in New York.

NBC officials say it remains unclear when Guthrie will officially resume her role on the Today show.
