"Savannah Guthrie will not host the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy amid the search for her apparently kidnapped mother, NBC Sports announced Tuesday. Savannah will not be joining us at the Olympics as she focuses on being with her family during this difficult time, NBC News reported, citing a statement from NBC Sports. Our hearts are with her and the entire Guthrie family as the search continues for their mother. We will share additional information about our Opening Ceremony coverage plans soon."
"The Today co-anchor was preparing to fly to Italy on Monday when the worst phone call of her life pivoted her in the opposite direction, an NBC producer who knows her told CNN. Instead of hosting the festivities alongside Terry Gannon and later with former Today co-host Hoda Kotb, Guthrie jumped on a plane to Tucson, Arizona, to support the search for her 84-year-old mom Nancy Guthrie."
"Savannah Guthrie did not comment about the change in plans, but expressed gratitude Monday for everyone's support. Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant, Guthrie posted on Instagram. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. Bring her home."
NBC Sports announced that Savannah Guthrie will not host the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony as she remains with her family during the search for her reportedly kidnapped 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie. Guthrie was preparing to fly to Italy when a phone call prompted her to instead travel to Tucson, Arizona, to support the search. Family members reported Nancy missing after she did not attend church and a search of her home found signs that it was a crime scene. Law enforcement used drones, a helicopter, an airplane, search-and-rescue dogs and volunteers; authorities concluded she was taken against her will during the night. Guthrie expressed gratitude for public support and asked for prayers.
