Savannah Guthrie made an emotional return to Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center on Thursday, 5 March, addressing roughly 100 cast and crew members of the 'Today' show in what colleagues described as a heartfelt address filled with faith and resolve. The co-anchor thanked her colleagues for 'caring about my mom as much as I do,' telling them: 'I wanted you to know that I'm still standing, and I still have hope, and I'm still me. And I don't know what version of me that will be, but it will be.'
Co-host Jenna Bush Hager, fighting back tears on air, told viewers that Savannah had expressed her intention to return to the programme, describing it as both the hardest thing to do and the most natural. 'She said that she has the intention to return to the show, even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it's also her home and where she feels so loved,' Bush Hager said. Sheinelle Jones, who co-hosts the third hour of 'Today', added that Savannah's visit felt like a step forward — 'even in the midst of the storm.'
