Mary Carillo Replaces Savannah Guthrie for Olympics Opening as Search for Anchor’s Mother Continues

Investigators say evidence points to a possible abduction with the FBI assisting.

Overview

  • NBC confirmed Carillo, in her 17th Olympics assignment, is co-hosting the Opening Ceremony in Milan with Terry Gannon, and the broadcast team opened the telecast by sending well wishes to Guthrie.
  • Craig Melvin is staying in the U.S.; Ahmed Fareed will host Olympic Late Night from Feb. 7–9, with Maria Taylor taking over on Feb. 10 after her Super Bowl duties.
  • Savannah Guthrie remains stateside with family as authorities search for her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, who was last seen Jan. 31 near Tucson, Arizona.
  • Pima County investigators have declared Nancy Guthrie’s home a crime scene and are treating the case as a suspected abduction, with extensive searches underway and the FBI pursuing leads.
  • Officials say no suspect or person of interest has been identified and have not verified a reported ransom note, emphasizing urgency due to Nancy’s mobility limits and need for daily medication.
