Allison Janney Honors Nancy Guthrie at the Emmys, and Savannah Guthrie Thanks Her Through Tears

Allison Janney had every reason to soak in her Emmys 2026 win Monday night. Instead, she spent part of her acceptance speech remembering Nancy Guthrie, the mother of“Today”show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who was abducted from her Arizona home in February 2026. It was a small gesture in a big moment, and it didn’t go unnoticed.

On Tuesday’s broadcast, Savannah Guthrie teared up thanking Janney for the tribute. She told viewers her family is still in deep pain seven months into the search, and she renewed her plea for anyone with information to come forward. Her words were simple and heartbreaking:“We just want our mom home to give her a proper goodbye. That’s all.”Co-host Willie Geist read the FBI tip line on air, and Savannah stressed that tips can be made anonymously.

This story matters because it shows how much attention can do for a missing-persons case, and how much it still costs a family to live without answers. If you know anything, even a small detail, reach out to the FBI tip line. One call could be the one that brings Nancy home. Have you ever seen a community rally around a family in a case like this?
