Savannah Guthrie could be back in her chair in just a few weeks.
A source tells Page Six that while plans may change as her mother’s case develops, the host is hoping to return to the “Today” show after her children’s spring break.
Most schools are back in session in New York by April 10th.
A source tells Page Six that Savannah Guthrie could be back in her chair in just a few weeks.
We are told the journalist wants to spend as much time as possible with her husband Michael Feldman, and daughter Vale, 11, and son Charley, 9, before stepping back into the spotlight.
There are plenty of factors at play with the investigation and her own personal progress.
Her mother, Nancy, went missing from her Arizona home in January.
We have also heard that Hoda Kotb, who has been filling in, has a busy schedule coming up with the launch of her Joy 101 app. She recently held a wellness retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 13 to 15.

A source assures us that Kotb’s plans aren’t adding pressure: if she’s not available, other anchors are on hand to fill in.
But another source close to the “Today” show tells Page Six, “There is no announcement regarding Savannah’s return date, and Hoda will remain filling in for her.”
Guthrie paid a visit to her co-workers at Studio 1A in Rockefeller Center on March 5, and thanked them for “caring about my mom as much as I do.”

“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she said. “And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be.”
She also confirmed that she would be returning to work.
“I have every intention of coming back,” she told her colleagues. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And I would like to try.”
