NBC says Savannah Guthrie plans to return to the Today show while she continues focusing on finding her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The network issued its first public comments saying she intends to come back but is prioritizing supporting her family and helping bring her mother home.
Today reported that Nancy Guthrie has now been missing for 33 days.

After weeks of searching in Tucson, Arizona, Guthrie recently returned to New York and visited Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center for the first time since her mother’s disappearance.
NBC said Guthrie stopped by to thank her colleagues and that while she plans to return on air she remains focused on her family and bringing Nancy home.
Co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones described an emotional behind-the-scenes reunion during the 10 a.m. hour.

Guthrie hugged every single person in this room, Hager said.
Hager added that Guthrie said returning feels like the hardest thing but that Today is her home where she feels loved.
Jones said, “Whenever you are ready, we are here,” which reflected the team’s support during the visit.
The network’s statement aims to end speculation about Guthrie’s future, though CNN reported last week that any timeline is uncertain and depends entirely on her as the search continues.
