NBC Breaks Into Olympics to Cover Latest On Nancy Guthrie
"Just prior to 10 p.m. ET, NBC News made the stunning move to interrupt coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics to cover the latest developments in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. We are coming on the air with a major development in the Nancy Guthrie case, anchor Hallie Jackson said, at the outset of what was a 10-minute special report."
"NBC News is learning that a man has been detained by law enforcement for questioning in Nancy's disappearance, this is according to a person familiar with the matter. ABC and CBS also broke into regular programming to report the detainment of the individual in connection with the case. World News Tonight anchor David Muir was on the desk for ABC, while overnight anchor Jessi Mitchell helmed the CBS report."
All three major broadcast networks broke into regular programming Tuesday night after developments in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie. NBC interrupted coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics just prior to 10 p.m. ET and reported that a man has been detained by law enforcement for questioning in her disappearance. ABC and CBS also interrupted their schedules, with David Muir anchoring ABC and Jessi Mitchell anchoring CBS. Cable networks expanded live reporting: Fox News pre-empted Gutfeld! for an hour from Arizona with Trace Gallagher and promised continuous coverage, while CNN's Jake Tapper reported from Tucson. Lawrence O'Donnell devoted his show's A-Block to the Guthrie case before moving to DOJ news about failed indictments of six Democratic members of Congress.
