Savannah Guthrie has provided a health update following vocal cord surgery that has kept her off the Today show. The presenter was diagnosed with vocal nodules and a polyp, requiring surgery and time away from the NBC morning programme.
On 19 December 2025, Guthrie announced she would be undergoing the procedure early in the new year. “I am going to have a surgery real early in the new year and be off for a couple of weeks,” she told viewers. “I have to be silent for a couple of weeks, totally silent.”
In a social media post, Guthrie shared a photograph of herself holding a whiteboard that read, “All good! Thanks for prayers and love.” She captioned the post, “See you soon!”, offering reassurance to fans.
Guthrie joined the Today show as co-host of the third hour in June 2011 and was elevated to co-anchor in 2012. She is also a New York Times bestselling author and created the Netflix series Princess Power.
