Savannah Guthrie is taking a temporary leave of absence from NBC’s “Today” show for a few weeks, according to the show’s official social media account. The “Today” Instagram page states that she will be off-air for the next few weeks.
The New York Post reports that Guthrie previously stepped away briefly to spend time with her family. That coverage links her time away to ongoing personal circumstances related to an investigation involving her mother, Nancy Guthrie, whose disappearance remains under investigation. The reporting characterizes the leave as a short period rather than a longer withdrawal, with Guthrie expected to return after the specified timeframe.
Across the sources, the central points are that Guthrie is absent from the show for several weeks and that her family-focused break precedes the longer off-air period. No additional details about the exact reason for the longer leave beyond the family-related context are provided in the supplied excerpts.
