As Savannah Guthrie continues to wait for news about her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, her “Today” show co-worker, Carson Daly, discussed the desperate daughter’s incredible resilience.
“On Wednesday, March 25, Daly spoke with Today’s Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin and Al Roker about their colleague and the strength she’s shown in the weeks since her mom was reported missing Feb. 1,” according to People.
GettyThe conversation came “after a preview of [Savannah’s] upcoming interview with Hoda Kotb,” per InStyle. “The interview, which will air on March 26 and 27 in two parts, sees the Today show anchor opening up about her mom Nancy’s suspected abduction 52 days ago.”
Carson Says Savannah Is Showing ‘So Much Resilience’
“It’s gut-wrenching to watch someone you love so much be, still post–50 days of this tragic event, in this tortured limbo state,” Carson said while talking to Hoda and his co-hosts. “Yet to still show so much resilience among it all.”
Hoda acknowleded that’s “exactly” what Savannah is going through, yet added that “no one’s stealing her joy.”
“But no closer to closure,” Carson continued. “It’s been so long to see our friend still so tortured, this far after this horrible event.”
“And her brother and sister too,” Craig said. “To her point, our only hope right now is that someone who is watching, someone who is listening, does the right thing, picks up the phone.”
Savannah Says ‘We Are In Agony’
During Savannah’s upcoming “Today” interview, she told Hoda that “someone needs to do the right thing.” She added, “We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.”
“And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night,” Savannah continued while talking about her mother. “And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”
Following the interview, Hoda said that Savannah is doing “okay,” while also noting that there’s “a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah.”
“She’s hoping that somebody, whoever this person is, will see something and say something and, as you’ll see in the coming days, she talks about so many things,” Hoda explained. “She talks about the investigation she talks about her faith and she talks about how she’s getting through…”
