When Savannah Guthrie walked back onto the set of Today on Tuesday, February 20, after a short break, the emotions were palpable. You could see it in her eyes—she was overwhelmed, but in the best way. The 52-year-old newscaster, known for her sharp wit and heartwarming presence, had tears welling up as she reunited with her colleagues. It was one of those moments that reminded us all why we love her so much.
Savannah's New Book: A Journey of Faith and Reflection
These past few weeks have been nothing short of eventful for Savannah. Not only did she return to the show, but she also launched her latest book, Mostly What God Does. This deeply personal collection of essays dives into her faith and the profound impact it has had on her life. In a candid conversation with her co-hosts, Savannah opened up about the challenges of writing such a vulnerable piece of work. "I was scared, I am scared," she admitted. "But I felt like I had something meaningful to share about God, and I wanted people to hear it."
A Mom First, A Journalist Second
Savannah’s journey hasn’t been without its critics. Some X users have been vocal about their disapproval of her promoting the book so heavily on Today. But Savannah, a mother of two beautiful kids, Vale and Charles, with her husband Mike Feldman, isn’t letting the negativity get to her. She’s grateful for the blessings in her life and feels compelled to share her story. "I did it because I wanted to do it," she said. "God made me want to do it. How can you argue with that?"

Controversy Surrounding Her Interview with Kelly Rowland
Not everything has been smooth sailing for Savannah lately. Her recent interview with Kelly Rowland on Today sparked quite the debate. During the segment, Savannah asked Kelly, 43, about her close friend and former Destiny's Child bandmate, Beyoncé, who is venturing into country music. "What do you think about your friend Beyoncé? She’s like your sister, you guys literally grew up together—she’s stepping into country," Savannah questioned. Kelly, who was there to promote her new Netflix film, Mea Culpa, responded with pride. "I’m so proud of her," she said. However, Savannah’s follow-up questions about Beyoncé’s new country album left some X users calling her "disrespectful." After the interview, Savannah took a few days off from the show, but she’s back now, stronger than ever.
A Book Tour Like No Other
Despite the critics, Savannah hasn’t let them bring her down. She kicked off her book tour on February 15 in Dallas, Texas, where fans eagerly awaited her arrival. The next day, she traveled to Oxford, Mississippi, and on February 17, she visited both Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. On February 18, Savannah made her way to Charleston, South Carolina. Over the next few days, she’ll be in New York and Connecticut, continuing to spread the message of her book. "I hope the book is appealing and compelling to anyone in any walk of life," she told Today.com. "It’s just a gentle call to be loved. And once you feel that love, well, you’ll find that you can’t help but share it. It’s just contagious. And I think that’s really the thrust of the book and really what I was trying to say."
