Savannah Guthrie’s return to the “Today” show caught everyone’s attention a few days ago. While it seemed her colleagues were standing in her support, sources shed light on the brutal reality. For those unversed, the broadcast journalist’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing at the beginning of February.
Since then, Savannah has been busy with her siblings in finding her mom, seeking help through social media. Last week, she returned to the news studio and was captured having an emotional reunion with the staff.
Brutal reality behind Savannah Guthrie’s ‘Today’ show return revealed by sources
Savannah Guthrie‘s video of her returning to the “Today” show studio went viral. In it, she was hugging her colleagues, who appeared to be teary-eyed. They reportedly showed their support to the co-anchor of the NBC morning show after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing last month. During the difficult time, it looked like the 54-year-old’s fellow staff members were rooting for her.
However, sources told the Daily Mail about the brutal reality behind her return to the news studio. “You think ‘The Morning Show’ is bad? That’s nothing. These people will steal your chair while you’re still sitting in it,” an insider claimed. They highlighted that nobody should allegedly be trusted in the news station, including “hair and makeup people to the producers.”
Furthermore, the outlet revealed that the rising broadcasters at the station were allegedly hoping for good news for them when NBC bosses “held a production meeting.” But the higher-ups reportedly announced Savannah’s return and asked the staff to pray for her and her family.
Earlier, a spokesperson for “Today” told PEOPLE about the journalist’s arrival at the studio. “Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her Today colleagues,” they stated. Furthermore, they mentioned that the date of Savannah’s return to work had not been announced yet.
For now, she would likely be with her family and help with the investigation of her mother.
