NBC Beefs Up Today Show Security
Newser • • entertainment
Key Points:
- NBC's Today show has significantly increased security at its 30 Rockefeller Center studios following two major incidents this year, including the February abduction of co-anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, who remains missing.
- In July, a man named Andrew Truelove breached security and confronted co-anchor Craig Melvin with a racial slur before being arrested, leading to the dismissal of a security guard responsible for the breach.
- Despite the heightened security measures, Today show employees reportedly support the changes, describing them as overdue and necessary for their safety.
- Savannah Guthrie expressed affection for her missing mother and shared personal reflections ahead of the Today crew's trip to Ireland, noting her Irish heritage through her mother and grandmother.
