NBC Makes Coverage Announcement as Search Continues for Savannah Guthrie’s Mom

NBC has confirmed that Savannah Guthrie will not be heading to Italy to cover the Olympics following the disappearance of her mother. As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, NBC has since announced that Craig Melvin also won’t be traveling overseas to cover the Winter Games.

Per People magazine, Melvin was set to host Olympic Late Night live from Milan in the coming week. Instead, Ahmed Fareed will host the program. As for Savannah, her scheduled on-air shifts will be covered by Mary Carillo, who will now be joining Terry Gannon in Milan.

“Our hearts go out to Savannah and the entire Guthrie family. They continue to have our full support,” Molly Solomon, executive producer and president of NBC Olympics Production, said in a statement on Feb. 4.

“We are fortunate to have a deep bench of talented commentators who will step in and fill these roles. Mary is one of the most experienced Olympic commentators ever and a master storyteller. She and Terry will lead the American audience through one of the world’s greatest global moments,” Solomon continued.

On Feb. 2, Melvin took to Instagram to share a photo of Savannah and her mom and to ask anyone with information about Nancy’s disappearance to come forward.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Savannah and her family. We encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department,” he wrote.
