Savannah Guthrie is revealing when she plans to return to "Today" following the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The coanchor opened up about the weight of the decision to come back, nearly eight weeks after her mom's apparent abduction that has rocked her family.
"I really wanted to come and see everybody. I just love this beautiful place that we call home, where we get to come and be every day," she said in the third segment of her interview with Hoda Kotb, aired Friday, March 27. "And I know how much people have prayed for me and loved me. All the people you've seen on TV and then all the people that you don't."
Guthrie said it's "hard to imagine" coming back, but she has longed to be with her "Today" colleagues. "I consider this my family, my greater family. And when times are hard you want to be with your family."
She also added, "It's such a place of joy and lightness. I can't come back and try to be something that I'm not. But I can't not come back, because it's my family."
