Savannah Guthrie assured fans she’s “okay” after recently undergoing vocal cord surgery.
The “Today” show host shared a positive update on Instagram on Monday.
In the photo, Guthrie held up a whiteboard that read, “It’s okay! Thank you for your prayers and love,” indicating that he is unable to speak for the time being.
“See you soon! 💛,” she teased in the caption.
Her fans immediately flooded the comments section with warm wishes and how much they missed seeing her on screen.
“So happy to hear everything went well! Sending healing ❤️🩹 vibes,” one person wrote.
Another added: “We miss you Craig and Sheinelle. We love you. Please heal quickly and come back.”
On December 19th, the journalist announced that he would be taking a short break from talk shows in order to undergo vocal cord surgery in the new year.
As Guthrie, 54, explained on air that she had nodules and polyps that needed to be removed, viewers may have noticed that her voice was “very scratchy and starting to crack a little.”
She also said she needed to rest her voice during the recovery period, but insisted the procedure was “no big deal.”
She joked that she felt like she had the “world’s longest coryza,” but now she finally has answers and is “really thrilled” that her voice is better.
“Honestly, this has been going on for years,” she said.
Guthrie wasn’t able to speak for a while, so he joked, “Christmas is coming early for my family!”
The lawyer has two children, daughter Vale, 11, and son Charlie, 8, with her husband Michael Feldman.
Co-host Sheinelle Jones revealed that she had undergone the same surgery and gave Guthrie a whiteboard wrapped in a red ribbon that he used to “talk” while he recovered.
“The good news is that you get permission to stay still. Once the house is quiet, the kids will want to help you,” Jones said.
“A lot of great people have done that. Maybe you’ll show up singing like, I don’t know, Celine Dion.”
