Savannah Guthrie's recent 'Today' show absences have sparked curiosity and speculation, but the seasoned host has provided clarity. In a recent interview, she revealed that her hiatus is primarily due to her new venture, hosting an upcoming Wordle game show for NBC. This isn't her first foray into game show hosting; she previously took a break from 'Today' to focus on the production of the same show. The announcement comes as a surprise to many, given the initial mystery surrounding her absences. However, it's worth noting that this isn't the first time Guthrie has had to take a break from her regular duties. In February, she abruptly stepped away from the 'Today' show following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing after an apparent kidnapping from her Arizona home. The emotional toll of her mother's disappearance is evident in her recent statement to CBS Tucson affiliate KOLD-TV, where she expressed the ongoing agony and trauma her family has endured. Guthrie's dedication to her work and family is a testament to her resilience and commitment to both her career and personal life. As she continues to navigate these challenges, her fans and colleagues eagerly await her return to the 'Today' show and the upcoming Wordle game show.
