Savannah Guthrie opens up about return to TV, NBC announces comeback date
Savannah Guthrie will return to "Today" on Monday, April 6, NBC News announced on Friday.
Guthrie, who has been away from NBC’s flagship morning show since her mother, Nancy, went missing on Feb. 1, opened up about the decision during a multipart interview that has aired throughout the week.
"It’s hard to imagine doing it because it's such a place of joy and lightness, I can’t come back and try to be something that I’m not. But I can’t not come back, because it’s my family. I think it’s part of my purpose right now.
