Savannah Guthrie Makes Silent On-Air Check-In, Set to Return to Today Next Week

Following surgery to remove vocal nodules plus a polyp, Guthrie remains on strict vocal rest at home.

Overview

  • On Jan. 12, the co-anchor appeared via video and used a whiteboard to communicate during week two of doctor-ordered silence.
  • She described her recovery as “good, boring, quiet,” as Carson Daly, Jenna Bush Hager, Craig Melvin, Al Roker and others reacted with humor and support.
  • NBC said she is expected back in Studio 1A next week, and co-hosts expressed eagerness for her return.
  • To pass the time, she has been journaling, reading, doing daily meditations, and painting watercolors, including a sunset, the Today logo and a black cat for Jenna Bush Hager.
  • She shared a family joke from her kids, Vale and Charley: “Mom, even when you’re quiet, you’re still loud.”
