Savannah Guthrie: 5 Things To Know About ‘Today’ Co-anchor Challenging Trump At His Town Hall
Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie was able to pivot back to her hard news roots on Oct. 15, 2020, when she hosted a live town hall on NBC with President Donald Trump. The former NBC News White House correspondent grilled the 74-year-old about the coronavirus, his tax returns and other major topics, after he went in on the 48-year-old former attorney and her network earlier in the day at a North Carolina campaign rally. To the consternation of many voters — and network employees — NBC gave him the plum spot opposite Democratic rival Joe Biden‘s live Town Hall on ABC, after the 77-year-old refused to do a live in person version with Trump following his recent battle with COVID-19.
