TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie was consoled by her longtime former colleague and temporary replacement Hoda Kotb when she returned to the show's studio for the first time since her 84-year-old mother Nancy's disappearance, Page Six reports.

Photos shared by the outlet show Kotb, who left the TODAY Show in January 2025 but has filled in for Guthrie during the search for her mother in Arizona, putting her arm around her former co-host and kissing her on the cheek. Guthrie reportedly thanked the TODAY Show staff and crew for “love, prayers and support, and for ‘caring about my mom as much as I do," a source told Page Six.

Guthrie also reportedly told her colleagues that she's "still standing" and that she continues to have "hope" that her mother will be found.

“I’m still me. And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be,” she said, according to one source who added that she had every intention to return to the network and referred to the TODAY Show team as her family.

TODAY Show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer was also reported to have led a group prayer that was described as "beautiful." The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has no clear suspects nor strong leads more than a month after being launched.

Savannah, her sister, Annie Guthrie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, carried flowers while being escorted by Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies to the memorial site in front of Nancy's home in a video shared by NewsNation reporter Brian Entin earlier this week. Savannah also shared a photo of flowers at the memorial on her Instagram account on Monday.

"We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛," Savannah wrote. "Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home."
