Savannah Guthrie’s absence from the Today show caught viewers’ attention this week as the longtime television journalist stepped away from Studio 1A. The NBC morning show host, who returned to the program earlier this year during a difficult time involving her mother’s disappearance, was not on air Wednesday, June 17.
Her cohost Craig Melvin explained that Guthrie was away from the desk for an important new project, as per a report by USA Today.
