After one month away from the NBC morning show, Savannah Guthrie officially returned to her hosting role on Today.
Guthrie joined Craig Melvin at the anchor desk on Monday, January 26, marking her first episode since going on medical leave last month. “Welcome back to Today. [We] so appreciate you being with us on a Monday morning. [We’re] so glad you’re starting your week off with us,” Melvin said at the top of the show’s 8 a.m. ET hour before telling Guthrie, “So glad you’re back.”
