Savannah Guthrie has reassured fans that she is recovering well following recent vocal cord surgery.
The Today show co-host shared the update on Instagram on Monday, posting a photo of herself holding a whiteboard that read, “All good! Thanks for prayers and love.” The image suggested that Guthrie is currently on vocal rest and unable to speak.
“See you soon!” she wrote in the caption, prompting an outpouring of supportive messages from fans and colleagues.
“So happy to hear all went well! Sending healing vibes,” one fan commented, while another added, “Miss seeing you with Craig and Sheinelle. Heal fast and come back soon.”
Guthrie, 54, had previously announced on December 19 that she would be stepping away from the Today show to undergo the procedure in the new year. She explained on air that doctors discovered nodules and a polyp on her vocal cords, which required surgical removal.
The longtime morning show anchor said viewers may have noticed her voice becoming “scratchy” and cracking in recent months. While she acknowledged that recovery would involve a period of complete vocal rest, Guthrie stressed that the surgery was “not a big, big deal.”
She also joked that her symptoms made it sound like she had “the world’s longest head cold,” adding that she was relieved to finally have answers after dealing with the issue for years.
Since she won’t be able to speak during recovery, Guthrie humorously remarked that it would be “Christmas coming early” for her family.
The journalist shares two children — daughter Vale, 11, and son Charley, 8 — with her husband, Michael Feldman.
Co-host Sheinelle Jones, who has undergone the same surgery in the past, gifted Guthrie the whiteboard she’s now using to communicate. Presenting it wrapped in a red bow, Jones offered words of encouragement.
“The silver lining is you have permission to be still,” Jones said. “The house gets quiet, the kids want to help you out. And who knows? You might come back singing like Celine Dion.”
