Savannah

With 15 years under her belt at NBC, Savannah Guthrie is sticking with the “Today” show.

The morning show anchor recently extended her contract with NBC News. The network confirmed her extension to The Times on Friday. Her current contract was reportedly expected to end later this year or in early 2027. It’s unclear how long her extension is.

The news combats the idea that Guthrie will be taking a step back from the public eye, after the abduction of her mother, Nancy, earlier this year.

Guthrie joined the “Today” show in 2011 as a co-host in the third hour and as NBC News’ chief legal analyst. By 2012, she was promoted to co-anchor. Over the years, she has become a key fixture on the No. 1 morning broadcast news program. In addition to covering the daily news, she was among a panel of the network’s hosts anchoring midterm election night coverage and has interviewed movie stars, athletes and presidents.

The “Today” show is led by Guthrie, Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly, and Jenna Bush Hager. Daly recently expanded his role at NBC News, as he was named co-anchor of “Saturday Today.”

On top of her “Today” show duties, Guthrie is also set to co-host the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside Roker and former “Today” co-host Hoda Kotb. In the coming months, she is poised to lead an NBC game show based on the New York Times’ popular “Wordle.”

As much of the broadcast landscape continues to morph in the streaming era, Comcast is expected to spin off NBCUniversal in the coming months. The company will then operate as a separate publicly traded company. Comcast already offloaded its cable channels, such as MS NOW, CNBC and USA, into a separate company called Versant earlier this year.

Reality star Savannah Chrisley on Tuesday announced her pregnancy and engagement to her mystery fiancé, finally revealing that his name is Jason after months of secrecy.

“The past few years have taken me through fires I never imagined I’d have to walk through,” the “Chrisley Knows Best” star captioned an Instagram post with a video announcing the news. “Right in the middle of the heartbreak. Before all the pieces were put back together. And somehow, he began healing parts of me he never broke.

“And just when I thought my heart couldn’t hold any more love,” Chrisley continued, “God gave us our sweetest blessing yet… we’re having a BABY!”

The news comes after years of fighting on behalf of her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were jailed in 2023 for tax evasion and bank fraud. Savannah’s efforts paid off when President Trump issued pardons for them in 2025, despite their conviction for conspiring to defraud Atlanta-area banks of more than $30 million in loans by submitting false documents.

“I’m finally in my happy era. And it’s taken a lot for me to get here,” Savannah said in her podcast “Unlocked.”

“I have really struggled [with] like, ‘When’s it going to happen for me?’” she continued. “I see so many people getting married and having kids and living this picturesque lifestyle and white picket fence and all of these things. And for so long I thought like, ‘It’s just not going to happen…Mom and Dad aren’t going to be here for these moments and those moments, and maybe I’m just not going to find the right person.”

In the episode, she describes her courtship with Jason and his proposal during their visit to the Cayman Islands.

“In all the silence that I’ve been giving, I’ve been living a lot of life, and I’ve been enjoying it for myself,” she said, acknowledging there is a “huge” age gap. “That’s probably part of the reason I kept a lot of it quiet, because I know how brutal the public can be.

“It’s just such an amazing, fulfilling feeling to finally find your person, and I’m there,” she continued. “So, yes, the age difference. So what? I don’t care. Let me tell you, he does not look his age, nor does he act his age. His body is great. His mind is even sharper. So, I really don’t care. OK? This person is the love of my life, and it made all the heartbreak that I’ve gone through worth it.”
