Hoda Kotb<\/span><\/span> will continue filling in for Savannah Guthrie<\/span><\/span> on Today<\/span><\/span> as the search for Savannah\u2019s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, enters its fourth week.<\/p>\n

Kotb, who left the show last year, returned to Studio 1A to provide stability during the crisis. NBC insiders say the team is taking things \u201cweek by week,\u201d with no plans for her to resume a full-time role alongside Craig Melvin. She remains focused on her brand, Joy 101, and family.<\/p>\n

Savannah has stepped away from major assignments, including Olympics and State of the Union coverage, and is currently in Tucson, Arizona. She recently shared an emotional video announcing a reward of up to $1 million for information about her mother\u2019s disappearance. Her contract with NBC is also set to expire this year, fueling speculation about her future.<\/p>\n

Despite the emotional strain, staffers say the situation has strengthened the \u201cToday\u201d team\u2019s bond. Meanwhile, ratings have surged \u2014 with Today drawing about 3.4 million viewers, up significantly from last year \u2014 likely driven by public interest in the case and strong Olympics coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
