context_page_description: Savannah Clark Guthrie is an American broadcast journalist and attorney. She is a main co-anchor of the NBC News morning show Today, a position she has held since July 2012.
  Guthrie joined NBC News in September 2007 as a legal analyst and correspondent, regularly reporting on trials throughout the country. After serving as a White House correspondent between 2008 and 2011 and as co-anchor of the MSNBC program The Daily Rundown in 2010 and 2011, Guthrie was announced as the co-host of Today's third hour alongside Natalie Morales and Al Roker. In that role, she substituted as news anchor and main co-host and appeared as the chief legal analyst across all NBC platforms. Guthrie ceased to be the third hour co-host and chief legal analyst in 2012 when she replaced Ann Curry as co-anchor of Today.
context_section_description: After Guthrie substituted for both Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry on Today, it was confirmed on May 9, 2011 that she would become co-host of the 9 a.m. hour, alongside Natalie Morales and Al Roker, and the show's Chief Legal Editor. The move came after Vieira announced her departure from the show as co-host of the main program, and the subsequent promotions of Curry and Morales to main co-host and news anchor, respectively. Guthrie departed The Daily Rundown for Today on June 9, 2011. She also became NBC News's Chief Legal Analyst, making her first appearance in this role on May 25, 2011. On June 29, 2012, it was announced that Guthrie would co-anchor Today, replacing Curry. Her first day as co-anchor, alongside Matt Lauer was on July 9, 2012.
  During her time on Today, she has become known for her highly regarded interviews. In 2011, she conducted an interview with Donald Trump in which he discussed his role in the Barack Obama "birther" controversy. Later that same year, she interviewed Dr. Conrad Murray after he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. She also reported exclusive details about the Death of Osama bin Laden. On November 29, 2017, Matt Lauer left Today due to sexual misconduct allegations making Savannah Guthrie then become the host of Today alongside Hoda Kotb to this day.
  Since 2012, she has hosted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC, and the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting.
