Savannah Guthrie has extended her contract at NBC News to remain as Today co-host, a source familiar with the matter confirmed on Thursday.
The morning show, approaching its 75th anniversary in January, beat ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings in total viewers and the 25-54 demo last season, taking the top spot in both categories for the first time in 14 years.
Guthrie has been co-host of Today since 2012, and currently is joined by Craig Melvin.
Her re-signing at the network comes amid the personal and harrowing ordeal of the disappearance of her mother, Nancy, from her Tucson home in February. Authorities later released security camera video of a masked person at Nancy Guthrie‘s front door, but they have not identified any suspects in her abduction. Savannah Guthrie has continued to call for any information on what happened.
Guthrie also has been an anchor during NBC’s Olympics coverage, including of opening ceremonies, and moderated a town hall with Donald Trump just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
