Savannah Guthrie’s ‘Today’ Return Wasn’t As Calm As It Looked

Savannah Guthrie might’ve looked totally composed when she walked back onto the ‘Today’ show Monday morning, but a body language expert is saying the NBC anchor was actually in full emotional overdrive behind that polished exterior.

Body language pro Dr. Abbie Maroño exclusively broke down Savannah’s return for Page Six, revealing all the subtle tells that screamed she was in a \”heightened emotional state\” despite keeping it together on camera. You know, the kind of thing only experts can spot — the micro-expressions, the tension, the way someone’s holding their shoulders when they think nobody’s looking.

The whole thing went down Monday morning when Savannah came back to her hosting duties. To the average viewer? She looked fine, totally normal, ready to work. But Maroño saw something different underneath all that practiced on-air polish. Apparently there were physical signs of stress and emotion that Savannah was managing like the pro she is.

What exactly triggered the emotional state? Maroño didn’t specify. But the fact that a body language expert felt compelled to analyze Savannah’s return this closely tells you something about the vibe surrounding her comeback. This wasn’t just a regular Monday on the ‘Today’ show.
