Savannah Guthrie was honored during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics amid her mother Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. "That is exactly what it takes to bring you the Olympics, a team and we are certainly without a very important, beloved member of our team tonight: Our friend and colleague Savannah Guthrie," Terry Gannon began during the live broadcast on Friday, February 6, holding back tears. "She is dearly missed by everybody here." Gannon, 62, was joined on Friday by Mary Carillo, who took over Guthrie's role announcing the opening ceremony in Italy.
