Savannah Guthrie is back where millions have seen her countless times before, but nothing is the same.
The "Today" show anchor, long the joyful, steadfast face of the long-running morning show, has been absent for more than two months amid the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie. But now she's back.
The journalist, 54, made her return to the NBC morning show on Monday, April 6, clad in a yellow dress and with evident emotion. Surrounded by viewers wearing yellow ribbon stickers in honor of her missing mom and fans holding "Welcome back, Savannah" signs, Guthrie read the morning's biggest headlines. "It is good to be home," she went on to tell coanchor Craig Melvin, who said, "It is good to have you back at home."
"Well, here we go. Ready or not, let's do the news," Guthrie added with a smile.
Guthrie's mother has not been found, though the search continues. She was reported missing from her home in Arizona on Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities, who have been searching for the 84-year-old ever since, have said they believe she was taken from her home against her will. In February, the FBI released images showing a masked suspect at Guthrie's front door before she disappeared, but the individual in the images has not been identified.
