Savannah Guthrie is coming back to “Today.”
NBC announced Friday that she would return as an anchor of the show on April 6, a little more than two months after she took a leave to commit herself to the search for her abducted mother.
Hoda Kotb, the retired “Today” anchor who has been filling in for Ms. Guthrie, broke the news to viewers on Friday morning, saying that “she is coming back to this job that she loves.”
Craig Melvin, Ms. Guthrie’s “Today” co-anchor, said, “It’s where she belongs, it’s where we all want her to be. We cannot wait to welcome her back with open arms.”
