Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of NBC’s Today show, has provided an encouraging update about her condition following surgery on her vocal cords. The 54-year-old journalist went under the knife in early January to remove growths that had been affecting her voice for an extended period. Guthrie first disclosed the issue, explaining she had both nodules and a polyp, on a Today broadcast in December, and said she would step away from the show temporarily to recuperate. In an Instagram message shared with followers, she expressed appreciation for the outpouring of concern and indicated her recovery is progressing well. To comply with medical advice, she has refrained from speaking, relying on a whiteboard to communicate during her silent rest. Fellow Today host Sheinelle Jones, who underwent similar surgery in the past, offered words of support and gifted Guthrie the board she once used during her own recovery. Guthrie earlier joked that enforced quiet might be “Christmas coming early” for her family and even teased a possible singing comeback or tour in 2026.
