“Today” show hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones addressed the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mom during the latest episode of their show.
“I’ll just tell you guys behind the scenes…we’re all rattled,” Jones said during Tuesday’s episode of “Today With Jenna & Sheinelle.”
“We’re all shaken. We all recognize that we have a job to do. But as you guys know, we’re family around here, and it’s not just something that we say. We’ve all been a little rattled.”
Jones continued, saying that “a lot of us had trouble sleeping” following news of the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Arizona home, and that they’re “worried” for Savannah’s mother.
“This morning, I woke up and I was nervous,” Jones said, noting that she checked her phone first thing for any developments — and the “first thing” she saw was Savannah’s emotional social media plea for support.
“I promise you, it gave me this peace,” she shared. “Leave it up to Savannah to impart and remind us of who we are. If she can have faith in a moment like this and ask for prayers, then we are going to give it to her and be reminded by her.”
“What Nancy gave Savannah but also her two other children is this deep and abiding faith and goodness and optimism,” Bush Hager added.
“When I had my son, I asked, ‘Who is the most faithful person I know? Who could lead him and his path?’ And it’s Savannah.”
Bush Hager, who read Savannah’s post on the air, also revealed that Nancy was “one of the first members” of her book club.
“She is a woman who is loved deeply by everyone here at ‘Today,’” she said.
“I joked with Savannah that Nancy was one of the first members of my book club,” Bush Hager continued, noting that Nancy “always reads what I send her.”
Nancy was last seen Saturday evening following a family dinner — she sparked concern and was reported missing at around 11 a.m. Sunday, when she failed to show up for church services.
It’s believed that Savannah’s mother was “taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night,” a Pima Country Sheriff’s Department spokesperson previously told Page Six.
“That includes possible kidnapping or abduction,” they added. “This is an elderly woman in her mid-80s who suffers from ailments… she couldn’t go 50 yards.”
Though she is of “sound mind” and “sharp as a tack,” according to 911 dispatch audio obtained by Fox News on Tuesday, she “has high blood pressure, [a] pacemaker and cardiac issues” that make locating her urgent.
Page Six reported on Monday that Savannah, 54 — who was set to host the 2026 Olympic Winter Games opening ceremony on Friday in Italy — was pulling out of the event amid the family crisis.
“There is no way Savannah will be there,” an NBC source told us.
