Hoda Kotb returned to the Today show on February 6, 2026, filling in for Savannah Guthrie, who is in Arizona searching for her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, last seen at her Tucson home on January 31. Authorities are treating the case as a possible abduction, with evidence including a disabled doorbell camera, DNA on the porch, and her pacemaker ceasing communication. A $50,000 reward has been offered, and law enforcement has hundreds of leads but no suspects. Guthrie’s family released a video pleading for information, emphasizing Nancy’s frail health. Kotb expressed solidarity, recalling Guthrie’s support for colleagues during personal tragedies. NBC named Mary Carillo to cover the Winter Olympics. The search remains active.
