A preview of the forthcoming two-part interview, set to be broadcast on Today, features Guthrie conversing with Hoda Kotb as she reflects on the ongoing struggle. The interview will be released on Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27, on NBC’s Today.

In the preview segment, Guthrie appears visibly moved while recounting the ordeal, describing it as "unbearable" as her family continues to seek answers amid search for her 84-old-mom.

"I wake up every night and imagine her terror,” Guthrie tells Kotb.

She also makes a heartfelt appeal to the public, stating, "She needs to come home now," highlighting the urgency of the matter.

Nancy was reported as missing on February 1 from her residence in Arizona, and authorities are considering the case as a potential abduction. The investigation is still in progress, with no confirmed outcome to date.

Savannah Guthrie's interview draws mixed reactions

Meanwhile, Savannah's interview received mixed reactions from the netizens on social media platform X. While some expressed support the Guthrie family, others raised suspicious, saying that her “tears are fake”.

“I don't wish this pain even on my worst enemy,” one person wrote.

“Unfortunately she's probably not coming home alive. She's probably been dead from the beginning. Sadly,” another said.

“Savannah Guthrie’s interview with Hoda Kotb is a haunting reminder that nearly two months have passed since Nancy Guthrie was taken. How is it possible that in 2026, with all our technology and a $1 million reward,” a third user commented.

One of the critics of Savannah said, “Those are fake tears, right? isn’t that how this works? After what they do to Erika Kirk. At least Savannah Guthrie‘s mom got to live a full life, unlike Charlie.”

“Something is not adding up here imo,” another stated.

The Guthrie family has declared a reward of $1 million for any information that leads to the safe return of Nancy.

Additionally, the FBI is providing a reward of $50,000 for information that leads to an arrest or conviction. While Savannah Guthrie is anticipated to resume her position on the ‘TODAY’ show, her main priority continues to be supporting her family and assisting in the efforts to bring her mother back home.
