More now from the hosts of the “Today” show, who this morning acknowledged the difficulties in covering the disappearance of the mother of show anchor Savannah Guthrie while balancing other top stories.
“So, folks, right now we are asking for your grace as we continue to do this,” co-host Craig Melvin said.
It’s been challenging covering the disappearance of the 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, those on the show agreed. But covering the story well is what Savannah Guthrie would want, co-host Al Roker said.
Guthrie has stepped away from the show to be with her family in Arizona’s Tucson area, where her mother lives, as the investigation into her mother’s disappearance stretches into a second week.
The show’s co-hosts have rallied behind Guthrie’s family, urging viewers to pray and to send any information to the tip line.
“I mean, paramount through all of this, Savannah and her family are our top priority. In addition to that, there is also a job to do,” former “Today” co-host Hoda Kotb said while filling in for Guthrie this morning.
