Savannah Guthrie Debuts New Voice, Sets Jan. 26 Return to Today

She says surgery to treat vocal nodules plus a polyp worked, with doctors permitting only brief speaking windows during recovery.

Overview

  • Guthrie spoke on air via video on Jan. 20 for the first time since her procedure, calling it her “new voice.”
  • Her care plan limits talking to five to ten minutes each hour as she rebuilds stamina and avoids strain.
  • She plans a short in‑studio segment on Jan. 23 to walk viewers through the surgery and recovery.
  • Her full return to the anchor desk is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 26.
  • Co‑hosts said she sounded good, with several noting improvement, after she briefly used a whiteboard and then spoke.
