Savannah Guthrie will no longer be part of NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage

by

Savannah Guthrie, a co-host of “Today,” will miss covering the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan as she focuses on a police investigation regarding the possible kidnapping of her mother.

NBC News confirmed that Savannah Guthrie will not be covering the Olympics. She is prioritizing time with her family as they search for her mother. NBC News expressed their support for Savannah and her family during this challenging time.

Dylan Dreysey will now co-host NBC’s broadcast of the opening ceremony for the Milan Cortina Games, after Savannah Guthrie had to withdraw. NBC has stated they will soon announce new plans to cover the event.

Police say 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday night. Family members contacted authorities when she didn’t show up for her usual Sunday church service and wasn’t at home.

World & Nation

I’m still trying to piece together what happened at Nancy Guthrie’s house, and it’s just awful. From what I’m hearing, it looks like someone broke in. They’ve found blood inside, but it’s not yet known who it belongs to, which is just so unsettling.

Investigators discovered Nancy Guthrie’s phone, wallet, car, and necessary medication at her home, suggesting she didn’t leave of her own accord. Her family informed police she is mentally sharp but has difficulty walking and wouldn’t be able to go far without assistance.

Lima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated in a press conference on Tuesday that investigators believe Nancy Guthrie was abducted. He acknowledged rumors of a possible ransom note, but wouldn’t confirm the reports. TMZ reported on a potential ransom note on Tuesday, but Sheriff Nanos didn’t verify the information.

Police sources say there was blood at the location and evidence suggests someone broke in.

Savannah Guthrie, who has been a co-host on “Today” since 2012, hasn’t been on the show since Monday. She was supposed to travel to Milan earlier this week.

Savannah Guthrie’s mother, who lives independently, has occasionally appeared on “Today.” Everyone at the show – her colleagues and the crew – quickly became fond of her.
