Today Show Colleagues Feared Anchor's Return
8 Mar
Summary
- Colleagues allegedly hoped anchor wouldn't return after mother's disappearance.
- Sources describe the workplace as a 'viper's nest' of ambition.
- Staff felt more relaxed during anchor's absence, preferring her replacement.

Behind the seemingly supportive facade of a popular morning television show lies a cutthroat environment, according to insider sources. When anchor Savannah Guthrie returned to the studio after a month away due to her mother's disappearance, her colleagues offered public sympathy. However, multiple sources revealed to the Daily Mail that many on the production team privately hoped Guthrie would not return.
The atmosphere at the studio is described as intensely competitive, with sources calling it a 'viper's nest.' Even during Guthrie's personal tragedy, the ambition of on-air talent and production staff was evident. Some reportedly found her absence a welcome break, preferring her usual replacement and feeling more relaxed without her high standards.
This internal dynamic became apparent when NBC executives held a production meeting. Ambitious staffers, hoping for clarity on their future roles, were reportedly frustrated when assured that Guthrie would be returning to the show. Despite the challenges, NBC confirmed Guthrie's upcoming on-air return, stating she remains focused on supporting her family and assisting in the search for her mother.
