Savannah Guthrie Extends Her Contract With NBC News

Savannah Guthrie Extends Her Contract With NBC News

Savannah Guthrie has extended her contract with NBC News, keeping her as a co-anchor of the “Today” morning show.

She co-hosts the program with Craig Melvin, and the show has recently outperformed its main competitors in the ratings.

The extension comes during a difficult year for Guthrie, whose mother, Nancy, disappeared from her Arizona home in February.

Nancy’s disappearance remains unsolved, and Guthrie has spoken publicly about the toll it has taken on her and her family.

Guthrie is also an important part of NBC’s news coverage and will host a new show based on the “Wordle” game.

She is set to remain at NBC, while her new “Wordle” show is expected to debut in the coming months.
