A more than decade-old “Today” show segment resurfaced Wednesday, revealing a rare glimpse inside missing matriarch Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson bedroom.
In the 2013 clip, early-riser Nancy, then 71, guided her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, and her “Today” show colleagues through her intimate daily bed-making routine — at 3 a.m. MST — inside her $1 million suburban home.
“Well, I think everybody needs to know how to make a bed. So, when the time came to teach [Savannah and her siblings] how to make a bed, this is what I tried to teach you,” a good-natured Nancy explained, while the hosts poked fun at Savannah’s haphazard morning routine.
At her colleagues cajoling, Savannah confessed that she personally prefers to “just leave” the bed as-is when she wakes up.
“All three of the kids thought [bed-making] was a really worthless skill,” Nancy offered.
“Today” alum Natalie Morales joked that Nancy tucked the sheets so tightly she “could bounce a quarter off of it.”
“Natalie, don’t put me to the test,” Nancy teased back. “It’s way too early.”
While Nancy had already put the finishing touches on her bed that day, even though it was still pre-dawn in Arizona, she offered to guide the team through her tried-and-true tricks — all to the beat of a chipper military anthem.
Back at the “Today” show’s Rockefeller Center studio, Savannah and her co-hosts put Nancy’s carefully manicured method to the test.
Al Roker and Morales replicated Nancy’s instructions to a tee, with Savannah helping with the finishing crimps.
Nancy, seemingly satisfied, signed off — but not before Savannah urged her to get some rest.
“I’ll teach you a skill! It’s called ‘napping’, when you’re up at these hours,” Savannah teased.
“Love you mom,” she added.
Nancy, now 84, has lived in the same Tucson home since the 1970s. Police believe she was kidnapped from the residence sometime during the nearly morning hours on Feb. 1.
Megyn Kelly, who resurfaced the footage on Wednesday, speculated that Nancy’s bedroom likely looks the same today as it did in the 2013 segment.
The bedroom was drowning in beige, save for the throw pillows which provided a pop of red and blue. A flatscreen television was propped up on a small bookshelf. Her bedside table was also adorned with a small display of flowers and a simple lamp, all within the view of a nearby window.
“The point is, you can see right into her bedroom, generally the way it was and the way it was set up. And she lives in the same house,” Kelly, who was axed by NBC in 2018, concluded.
Her mysterious disappearance entered its fifth week on Sunday.
