Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today Show studio for the first time since her mom Nancy was abducted from her home more than a month ago.
The host was seen in images first revealed by TMZ hugging staff and crew at the studio in Manhattan, New York City on Thursday morning.
Savannah appeared emotional in footage of the reunion, and she was seen embracing colleagues and making a speech to the studio staff.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, NBC said Savannah returned to say thank you to her colleagues for supporting her through her mother’s heartbreaking disappearance, which remains unsolved.
The studio said in the statement that Savannah plans to eventually return to the air, but her visit on Thursday was ‘to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues.’
‘While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home,’ the studio said.

Savannah was last seen visiting Nancy’s Tucson, Ariz home on March 2, one month after the 84-year-old went missing.
Savannah was joined by sister Annie Guthrie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni. In footage shared by NewsNation, the three hugged and added yellow flowers to a tribute created near their mother’s mailbox.
Savannah later shared a message, featuring an image of yellow flowers, to Instagram. “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛 please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home,” she wrote.
Nancy was last seen alive on Jan. 31 after she had dinner with family. She was reported missing on Feb. 1 when she failed to attend a virtual church service. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance footage and images from Nancy’s Nest doorbell camera, which show a masked intruder walking up to the front door of her home the night of her abduction.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos spoke with NBC’s Liz Kreutz on March 3, and said that investigators are “definitely closer” to identifying and locating a suspect or suspects. During the conversation, which aired on the Today show, Nanos said authorities have “got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it’s time to just go to work.”
The Guthrie family has increased the reward to $1 million for any information that leads to Nancy’s recovery or the arrest of a suspect. On Feb. 27, Savannah boosted the FBI’s tip line on her Instagram account, hoping for it to “be the one that brings her home.”
“Still here hoping,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
