Hoda Kotb is set to stay in Savannah Guthrie\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d seat for an extended period as the search for the star\u2019s mother Nancy Guthrie stretches into its fourth grueling week, sources tell Page Six.<\/p>\n

Although Kotb, 61, left \u2018Today\u2019 just over a year ago, she returned to Studio 1A to rejoin her former colleagues as somewhat of a salve shortly after Savannah\u2019s life was brutally upended.<\/p>\n
