NBC’s Savannah Guthrie is “set to drop out of hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony” as her mother, Nancy Guthrie, “remains missing.” Guthrie was set to co-host the ceremony alongside Terry Gannon, which would have marked her fourth time hosting an Olympic opening ceremony. Gold medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White was also “expected to join” Guthrie and Gannon in the broadcast booth. Guthrie was “going to stay in Italy for a week to record ‘Today’ alongside former co-host Hoda Kotb." (PAGE SIX, 2/2). Guthrie was also “slated to anchor NBC’s first night of prime time Olympics coverage because the usual anchor, Mike Tirico, will be in California for the Super Bowl" (CNN.com, 2/2).
