Overview
- On Jan. 20, Guthrie video-called into TODAY and spoke for the first time since surgery, saying, “This is my new voice.”
- She remains on vocal rest with limits of roughly five to 10 minutes of talking each hour, per her medical guidance.
- Guthrie said the procedure “worked” but noted recovery is slow and overuse can cause strain, so she is taking it easy.
- She will appear on Friday, Jan. 23, for a segment on her surgery and will resume full anchor duties on Monday, Jan. 26.
- During her initial silence she used a whiteboard and Instagram to update viewers, and co-hosts said her post-surgery voice sounds the same or markedly better.
