The Real Reason Savannah Was Missing From Today 2 Days in a Row After Report the 'Emotional Toll' of Her Mom Has Become 'Impossible' to Deal With

Sheinelle Jones filled in as fans worried about Guthrie’s absence, while other regular hosts were also temporarily replaced after July 4 coverage.

  • Today host Savannah Guthrie missed the show on Wednesday and Thursday, July 9, with Sheinelle Jones and Laura Jarrett filling her slots on the NBC morning program.
  • Concerns about Guthrie's absence stem from the unresolved disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, five months ago, with the FBI and Pima County Sheriff continuing to investigate the kidnapping from her Arizona home.
  • According to a TMZ report, Guthrie is simply "off for a few days to spend time with her family," and the outlet notes the absence is unrelated to the Nancy Guthrie abduction investigation.
  • Guthrie is expected to return to Today on Monday, July 13, having previously taken time off in June for production meetings on her upcoming Wordle game show for NBC.
  • Insiders report NBC executives are preparing for every possibility regarding Guthrie's schedule, as the emotional toll of the ongoing investigation into her mother's disappearance remains significant for the anchor.
