On this March 5th, here's what's making entertainment headlines. Savannah Guthrie made an emotional return to the Today Show studio for the first time since her mother Nancy went missing last month. The 84-year-old vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona on February 1 after skipping church. Hoda Koti B, who left the network in January 2025, stepped into co-host and was seen comforting Savannah with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Hoda shared with the team that she is still standing and holding on to hope for finding Nancy. She also expressed plans to come back to NBC, calling her colleague's family. Dylan Dreyer led a group prayer to describe his beautiful and Savannah hugged everyone before heading out. The visit touched the whole team. Co-hosts, Jenna Bush Hager and Chanel Jones spoke about it on air, saying it felt great to hug Savannah and praising her strength during this tough time. Jones, who lost her husband last year, knows firsthand how hard it is to show up amid grief. Savannah has shared heartbreaking videos on social media, pleading for information and even saying her family has come to terms with the possibility.

That Nancy may already be gone. Still, they won her body brought home for closure. The family has now raised the reward to $1 million as the kidnapping investigation drags on with no major breaks yet. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor, Some Chase Peace.
