Hoda Kotb will sit down with good friend Savannah Guthrie for an emotional interview about her missing mom, Nancy, 84, later this week.
A clip of the chat was shared on the Wednesday episode of the Today show, where Hoda, 61, reflected on how Savannah, 54, is staying strong amid the terrifying ordeal.
Hoda Kotb shared an update on Savannah Guthrie on the March 25 episode of 'Today.'
Nancy disappeared on February 1 from her Tucson, Ariz., home and while the case is still ongoing, there have been few details and clues presented since then.
“There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah,” Hoda said on the morning show. “She’s hoping that somebody — whoever this person is — will see something and say something."
"She talks about the investigation, she talks about her faith and she talks about how she’s getting through,” the broadcaster continued. “That was one portion there, and then the next portion you’ll see how she talks about how God’s holding her hand."
Savannah Guthrie's Interview Will Air on Thursday and Friday
Savannah Guthrie's full interview will drop on March 26 and March 27.
“I was sort of marveling that she was able to sit there with an outfit on, have a conversation and also have direct thoughts about what she sees going forward. … It’s like no one’s stealing her joy, so you’ll see both sides of that," Hoda said.
The interview will be Savannah's first since her mom's abduction almost two months ago and will air in full on the March 26 and March 27 editions of the NBC morning show.
