Overview
- Veteran broadcaster Mary Carillo will co-host Friday’s Milano Cortina Opening Ceremony with Terry Gannon after NBC confirmed Savannah Guthrie will stay stateside.
- NBC reassigned Olympic Late Night to Ahmed Fareed for Feb. 7–9, with Today co-anchor Craig Melvin remaining in the U.S.
- Guthrie stepped back to be with family while authorities search for her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, who was reported missing from the Tucson area on Jan. 31.
- Investigators report signs of forced entry and blood at the residence, the FBI is assisting, no suspect has been identified, and officials warn against unverified accusations.
- Officials stress urgency because Nancy has limited mobility and lacks vital daily medication, while NBC cites its deep bench and expresses support for the Guthrie family.
