Movies & TV Series 02 February 2026

The *Today* show family is rallying around Savannah Guthrie this morning as the search continues for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, in Arizona. The situation took a visibly emotional turn on *Today With Jenna & Sheinelle* when Jenna Bush Hager addressed the viewers directly, her voice thick with concern. It was a raw moment, a reminder that even those we see on television every day are dealing with very real, very difficult situations.

Savannah Guthrie's Mom's Health Crisis: Jenna Bush...

“We need to start the show with something that is deeply personal for us this morning,” Bush Hager began, her voice wavering slightly. “Nancy Guthrie, Savannah’s beloved mom and somebody we adore around here has been reported missing in Arizona.” You could feel the weight of the situation in the studio, a palpable sense of worry hanging in the air. Co-host Sheinelle Jones reiterated the family's plea for information, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

Bush Hager, clearly affected, added, “We love Nancy, I know her personally… We are thinking of our dearest, dearest Savannah and her whole family right now. Our prayers obviously go out to Savannah.” It's tough to watch someone you see as strong and composed as Savannah Guthrie have to navigate something like this. Bush Hager also made a crucial point, reminding viewers that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie requires daily medication. This detail adds another layer of concern to an already distressing situation.

Savannah Guthrie was, understandably, absent from *Today* this morning. She provided a statement, read by Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones, asking for the public's help in locating her mother, who was reported missing yesterday. It's never easy to be on the other side of the news, and you can only imagine what Savannah and her family are going through right now.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is taking the case very seriously. Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters over the weekend that Nancy Guthrie was last seen by family around 9:45 p.m. Saturday night. While authorities initially expressed concern primarily due to her age and physical condition, recent statements suggest a more complex situation. Nanos mentioned that aspects of the scene at her home had prompted "grave concern" among officers, though he understandably didn't elaborate to avoid compromising the investigation. It’s a delicate balance between keeping the public informed and protecting the integrity of the search.

Nanos also stated that the homicide team was brought in "simply because what the scene was telling us" and are currently "processing" the scene. He stressed that this doesn't necessarily indicate foul play, but rather a cautious approach given the circumstances. "I hope we find her safe and sound, but we can’t ignore what’s in front of us," he concluded. The entire *Today* show family, and undoubtedly the nation, is hoping for a positive outcome. We'll continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
