A sobbing Savannah Guthrie said she was in “agony” over her mom Nancy’s disappearance during an intimate sit-down with “Today” show host and friend, Hoda Kotb.

On Wednesday’s episode of the “Today” show, Kotb, Craig Melvin, Carson Daly and Al Rocker sat down together to announce that Savannah had sat down for her first on-camera interview following her mom’s disappearance.

“It has now been 53 days since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in the middle of the night and Hoda, yesterday, you got the chance to spend some time with our girl. You sat down with Savannah — her first interview since her mom’s disappearance,” Melvin revealed.

Savannah Guthrie is opening up for the first time about the “agony” of her mother’s abduction in an interview with Hoda Kotb on TODAY. In an excerpt of the upcoming interview that aired on TODAY on March 25, the TODAY co-anchor shared in an emotional talk with Hoda how she wakes up every night imagining her mother’s “terror” following her disappearance. Savannah’s full interview with Hoda will air in two parts on TODAY on Thursday, March 26, and Friday, March 27. The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for the return of Nancy. The FBI is also offering a $100,000 reward and encouraging anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

“As you can imagine, it was a very emotional conversation,” Kotb noted. “We’re going to have the whole thing for you tomorrow and Friday. But first, we wanted to bring you one of the moments of the interview where Savannah sent a message to anybody who may have some information.”

The clip then showed a distraught Savannah, sitting across from Kotb with tears streaming down her face.

“Someone needs to do the right thing, we are in agony. We are in agony,” she said shakily. “It is unbearable.

“And to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought and I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now,” Savannah added as a tearful Kotb agreed.

When asked by Daly how she was doing, Kotb sadly said she personally was doing “OK.”

“There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah. I mean, she’s hoping that somebody — whoever this person is — will see something, say something,” she continued.

Kotb then teased the rest of the interview, explaining that Savannah talks about the investigation, her faith and how she’s getting through the situation.

“I was sorta marveling that she was able to sit there with an outfit on, have a conversation and also just have direct thoughts about what sees going forward,” she added.

Daly chimed in, calling it “heartwrenching” to watch “someone you love so much still post-50 days of this tragic event in this tortured limbo state, yet still show so much resilience and grace through it all.”

“No one is stealing her joy,” Kotb insisted.

“To her point, our only hope right now is that someone who is watching, someone who is listening, does the right thing, picks up the phone,” Melvin added before “urging” people to reach out to the FBI if they have any information.

Savannah’s interview will air in two parts, starting on Thursday and Friday.
