PHOENIX — As she prepares to return to the "Today" show, Savannah Guthrie has taped an interview with Hoda Kotb, her longtime friend and colleague.The sit-down will air Thursday and Friday on "Today." It will be Guthrie's first interview since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing, the victim of an apparent kidnapping nearly two months ago.
NBC aired a short clip from the interview on Wednesday morning."Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable," Guthrie said through tears in the clip.Guthrie said she wakes up "in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought."The network has not announced a return date for Guthrie yet. But a person close to the show said they anticipate Guthrie coming back to Studio 1A sometime in April.The New York Post previously reported that Guthrie could return "in just a few weeks."Guthrie, 54, is the centerpiece of the "Today" show, one of the most important franchises at NBCUniversal. So it was inevitable that speculation would ensue about her future on the show, even as she was fully consumed by the search for her mom.Guthrie flew to Tucson, Arizona, as soon as Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1, and she remained in the Tucson area for weeks.Once she flew home to New York City, she visited the "Today" show cast and crew on March 5 and thanked them for shining a constant spotlight on her mom's disappearance.She confirmed that day that she would return to work at some point, saying, "I don't know how to come back, but I don't know how not to. You're my family. And, I would like to try."For Guthrie, as hard as it might be to imagine resuming work, it might also be a comforting routine after the most unsettling chapter of her life.

Nancy's disappearance dominated national news headlines for several weeks in February, turning Guthrie — usually a steady news anchor at NBC — into a subject of the news.Guthrie released several heartbreaking pleas for public help via Instagram and, as the volume of tips slowed, eventually announced a $1 million reward.Officials say the case is still active, with a 20- to 24-person task fo
