Overview
- Guthrie returned to Studio 1A on Monday, Jan. 26, joining Craig Melvin at the anchor desk for her first full day back.
- Voice specialist Dr. Peak Woo found a hemorrhagic polyp on one vocal cord and a nodule on the other, removing the polyp via microlaryngeal surgery.
- Her postoperative recovery included roughly eight days of total silence, whiteboard communication, and guided voice exercises.
- She tested her voice for the first time post-surgery on Jan. 13 in Dr. Woo’s office, delivering her trademark morning greeting.
- Colleagues welcomed her with on-air humor, and the broadcast noted a weekend snowstorm in New York that thinned the usual plaza crowd.
