NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ host Savannah Guthrie who recently went missing from the NBC show has finally returned but with a bold new look.

On Thursday, August 17, Hoda Kotb revealed that Guthrie is feeling “under the weather” and will probably be back by Friday. Although Guthrie didn’t speak about her condition on the show, she made a comeback with a new look.
