Amid the frantic search for her mother, Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Mike Feldman, quietly paid a visit to “Today” to show her colleagues their appreciation for the outpouring of support.
We’re told that since Nancy Guthrie went missing from her home nearly a month ago, Savannah’s family has been blown away by the love from her colleagues at NBC.
“From the top of the company to the bottom – it’s gone beyond just a workplace,” a source close to Savannah told Page Six.
They added Savannah’s colleagues have been asking, “‘Can we send clothes, arrange for food? Can we take the kids? [Can we] create a distraction at a moment that helps them manage through this as a family?’ The love is real.”
Feldman visited “Today” about two weeks ago and an insider, who was present, described the meeting as “very emotional.”
“There were a lot of tears.” they said.
They added he was there on behalf of his wife to simply thank them.
Savannah’s family has been isolated, mainly interacting with each other and law enforcement, so, “it was great for him to look everyone in the eye and vice versa.”
“It was a large group and he went around and thanked everyone, and got a bunch of hugs,” the insider said. “This is an extension of their family, and never more so than now. They’re more than coworkers. The tears were real, and [the colleagues] are struggling too.”
The first source told us Savannah’s, “not in a position to respond to anyone right now because it’s too overwhelming, but she’s seeing the messages, and hears the prayers.”
Meanwhile, Feldman has been traveling back and forth from New York to Arizona, where Savannah is with her family, as the search for Nancy, who went missing on Feb.1, continues.
Savannah continues to be off from the “Today” show and her former co-anchor Hoda Kotb has been filling in. Sources told us a return to work is the furthest thing from Savannah’s mind at the moment.
Savannah last addressed the public in a video she posted on Feb 15, where she made a plea for her mom’s kidnappers to “do the right thing… it’s never too late,” she said. In the meantime, “the family’s never prayed as much,” the first source said. “She’s the chief faith officer in the family, and [the faith is] strong as ever.”
