Savannah Guthrie Wonders ‘What Are Veneers' When Asked Whether She Has a Set of Her Own
While celebrating the launch of 's Joy 101 app in New York City last month, faced an unexpected inquiry from a Parade reporter curious to know if the Today show coanchor has veneers.
"What is that, like, braces?" Guthrie, 53, replied. 'I did Invisalign. What are veneers?'
Veneers are described as coverings that fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. They can help make one's teeth look bigger, straighter, brighter or remove any space in between teeth.
Savannah Guthrie Talks 'Today' Legacy, Motherhood and Hoda Kotb's Exit
When the reporter suggested that Guthrie would know if she had them, the NBC journalist agreed and clarified that she didn't have a set of her own.
'OK, I guess no. No, I don't have veneers,' she joked. 'I probably need them. Whatever they are. I gotta go, getting veneers.'
These days, Guthrie has other priorities in her life besides those of the dental variety, including bringing the news to millions of Americans via Today and striving to be a good mom to daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, 8.
'I try really hard to be not just a calm mom, but a joyful mom and a fun mom,' she exclusively told Us Weekly in May at Kotb's launch party. 'But I'm also a real mom, so that means at about 8 on a Sunday night, I'm like, 'Let's go.''
If Guthrie comes close to reaching a breaking point while parenting, she tries to use it as a reminder for her kids that everyone has different emotions at different times.
'They need to see that we're human too,' she explained of moms. 'I don't think that we're supposed to present to them a stoic figure that's not real life. I don't think that's sending them the lesson. I think they need to know that mom and dad, we're human too. We're doing our best, but let's cooperate and get along. I try to strike that balance.'
Savannah Guthrie Woke Up Missing a Tooth After a 'Today' Christmas Party
One thing that made Guthrie smile recently was having the opportunity to reunite with her friend in the morning.
Last month, Kotb, 60, returned to the Today show to hang out with her TV family and give fans an update on her post-morning show life.
'She's our family. This is home for her,' Guthrie gushed to Us. 'It always will be home for her. It was just wonderful to have her there. But it's just exciting for our friends on the plaza to get to see her and everybody wants to know, how are you doing? All the things I've asked her over the last few months. We talk. We've had breakfast. We call. … Our viewers wanted to know that too.'

Congratulations Pouring In For Brent Musburger On Wednesday
Congratulations Pouring In For Brent Musburger On Wednesday originally appeared on The Spun. Congratulations are pouring in for legendary college football announcer Brent Musburger on Wednesday. Musburger, 86, is of course best known for calling college football games. He was on the call of several iconic college football games on ABC and ESPN during the 2000s and 2010s. Musburger is no longer calling college football games, as he now lives in Las Vegas and works on the Raiders' radio broadcasts. But Musburger will be making a big return to the national broadcasting booth this weekend. The legendary college football announcer will be on the call of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. It's a special honor. Musburger, who won the 2025 Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award, will be honored by NBC during the game. The iconic college football announcer will do a sideline interview with NBC's Maria Taylor before joining Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth in the booth for the second half of the game. It's a fun honor. Fans are loving it. "🚨🚨THIS IS AMAZING🚨🚨 Legendary announcer Brent Musburger will be joining NBC's booth for the Detroit #Lions versus Los Angeles #Chargers Hall of Fame Game tomorrow night. 👏👏👏 A great way to honor Musburger at the home of the Hall of Fame, Canton, Ohio," one fan wrote. "How great is this!" one fan added. "So good!" another fan added. "That's phenomenal!" one fan added. "Hell yeah legend," another fan wrote. Musburger is known for more than college football, too While Musburger is perhaps best known by the current generation for his work alongside Kirk Herbstreit, he has done work with nearly every major sport. Musburger was the first host of CBS's NFL coverage and he was also on the call for several big-time Super Bowls. He did a lot of college basketball and NBA work, too. Musburger is credited by many for coming up with the March Madness phrase, which is now worth millions. The iconic college football announcer loves to talk gambling, too. He lives out in Las Vegas and would often make subtle references to the spread during his broadcasts. We look forward to watching him perform on the air on Thursday evening. Kickoff between the Lions and the Chargers is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. E.T. The game will air on NBC. Congratulations Pouring In For Brent Musburger On Wednesday first appeared on The Spun on Jul 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Kamala Harris' new book is a sure to be another self-congratulatory look at how she lost — please unburden us
They say history is written by the victors. But, following Hillary Clinton's template, presidential loser Kamala Harris is giving the world her take – whether it's wanted or not. On Wednesday, Harris announced that she wasn't running for California Governor in 2026. Advertisement And a day later, she told disappointed 'KHive' dwellers – all remaining five of them – they needn't fret. The politician formerly know for being 'Brat,' said she has written a memoir of the 'shortest presidential campaign in modern history.' A diary of defeat. 6 Kamala Harris is promoting her new book '107 Days' about her presidential campaign. X/Kamala Harris Advertisement It's called '107 Days.' Appropriately, she'll be promoting it on CBS's recently canceled 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' So. Much. Winning. Advertisement 'With candor and reflection, I've written a behind the scenes account of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what I know it will take to move forward,' she said in a video shared on X. Anything written on her ill-fated attempt to win the White House should be a grim autopsy on a spectacularly bad campaign with a historically terrible candidate. A manual on what not to do. 6 Kamala Harris will promote her new book on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' which was recently canceled by CBS. CBS Advertisement But, judging by the tone of her messaging, she's clearly giving her disastrous presidential run a postmortem glow up. Harris is pumping it up to be a profound work that unlocks some long-held secrets about the wants and needs of Americans – as if we don't already know they are affordability, freedom, safety and Sydney Sweeney in a denim ad. I'll bet it's filled with vignettes about people she met along the way, the pages padded with selections from her word salad bar. In it, she'll write about being 'unburdened,' 'eating 'no' for breakfast' and all about the 'dreams and aspirations' of Americans. 'In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me. Sometimes the fight takes a while, but I remain full of hope and I remain clear-eyed. I will never stop to make our country reflect the very best of its ideals,' she added. 6 During a campaign stop in Sheetz, Tim Walz and Kamala Harris filmed a video where Walz grabbed a bag of Doritos for his running mate. @Tim_Walz/X How comforting for us. The truth is that this will be just like her campaign: filled with empty platitudes and absent of substance. I expect other selections to focus on her running mate Tim Walz becoming her Doritos gimp, tossing her bags of her favorite snack during a campaign stop at a Sheetz. Advertisement Or maybe how she was able to marshal the entire entertainment establishment to play concerts for her rallies in cities across the nation. And how cool it was to have Oprah throw a star-studded special for her. Hers was a campaign that really connected with everyday folks. 6 Oprah Winfrey threw a star studded pep rally for Kamala Harris during her short run for the White House. AFP via Getty Images Let's remember that Harris was made the Dem candidate because after Joe Biden's catastrophic debate against Donald Trump, the party could no longer hide the fact that they were running a confused old man grappling with disqualifying cognitive issues. Advertisement Her very placement in that role circumvented the democratic process. She didn't win a primary. She arrived on the scene and was instantly bubble wrapped by the party and most of the institutional media, who threw her pep rallies in their pages and on their airwaves. And still, she was ill-prepared, out of her depth, unable and unwilling to articulate her shift from her extremely woke political positions of 2020, which had become toxic. The stories that would truly be of interest will be avoided like she avoided Joe Rogan. Big mistake. 6 Kamala Harris only became the candidate because Joe Biden was clearly suffering with cognitive issues. Getty Images Advertisement For instance, how did it feel to fumble the layup from 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin, who asked Harris what she'd do differently than Biden. She replied, 'there is not a thing that comes to mind.' Or what she actually knew about Biden's mental decline? At what point did she realize that Tampon Tim [Walz] was the undisputed lying champion of the world? Advertisement Did she regret telling a tale about working the fryer at McDonalds? And even better, we'd love the real behind-the-scenes play-by-play after her husband Doug Emhoff was accused by an ex-girlfriend of slapping her at the Cannes film festival in 2012. No one dared ask Harris or Emhoff, who had been held up as some sexy male feminist, about the disturbing allegations. 6 On the eve of election day, Kamala Harris was helped onto the stage in Philadelphia by Oprah Winfrey. Getty Images There are so many lingering questions. But she will offer no personal insights, no authentic look at the woman behind the cackle or raw assessment of what really happened. The book is only meant to serve as more propaganda – a useless attempt to revive her dead political career.

Rose Leiman Goldemberg, 97, dies; her ‘Burning Bed' was a TV benchmark
Ms. Goldemberg was working as a playwright in the mid-1970s when she sent a few story outlines to an unusually receptive television producer. One of them, a drama about immigrants set on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1910, caught his interest. It became a television movie, 'The Land of Hope' (a title Ms. Goldemberg hated), which aired on CBS in 1976. It centered on a Jewish family and their Irish and Italian neighbors. There were labor organizers, gangsters, and musicians, and a rich uncle who wanted to adopt a child to say Kaddish for him when the time came. Such an ethnic stew was a stretch for the network, and critics loved it. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'A thoroughly charming surprise,' John O'Connor wrote in his review for The New York Times. Advertisement As a pilot for a series, 'The Land of Hope' went nowhere, but it made Ms. Goldemberg's reputation, and she began receiving stories to be turned into scripts. 'Where did you spring from?' one network executive asked her, she recalled in a 2011 interview for the nonprofit organization New York Women in Film & Television. 'As though I were a mushroom.' It was Arnold Shapiro, the veteran producer, writer and director behind 'Scared Straight!,' a well-received TV documentary about teenage delinquents being brought into contact with prison inmates, who sent Ms. Goldemberg 'The Burning Bed,' a 1980 book by The New Yorker writer Faith McNulty about the case of Francine Hughes. Advertisement Hughes's story was horrific. For 13 years, she had been terrorized by her alcoholic husband. One day in March 1977, after a brutal beating, she called the police in their Michigan town. Two officers responded and then left, saying there was nothing they could do because they hadn't witnessed the attacks. That night, the beating resumed, and Hughes's husband raped her. When he fell asleep, she doused the bed with gasoline, lit a match, and set the bed on fire. Then she put her children in the car and drove to the county jail to report what she had done. Her husband died that night, and Francine Hughes was charged with first-degree murder. Nine months later, a jury pronounced her not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. The verdict made national headlines. Fawcett, the pinup star of 'Charlie's Angels,' the frothy crime series, was already attached to the project; she had shown her dramatic chops in 'Extremities,' an off-Broadway production about a woman who exacts revenge on her rapist, and wanted to continue working in that vein. Yet the project was initially turned down by all three networks. When it was resurrected, by NBC, in one of those complicated scenarios particular to Hollywood, Shapiro was somehow left out of the production. The movie aired in October 1984, to mostly critical acclaim. (Paul Le Mat played the husband.) It was seen by tens of millions of viewers, and NBC's ratings soared, pulling the network out of third place and putting it on top for the first time in a decade. Fawcett, Ms. Goldemberg, the producers, and even the makeup artist were nominated for Emmy Awards, and the movie set off a national conversation about domestic abuse. Women's shelters, a rarity in those days, began opening all over the country; the film was shown in men's prisons; and Ms. Goldemberg was often asked to speak to women's groups. Advertisement Inevitably, as she recalled in 2011, 'someone would say, 'I couldn't talk about my own abuse until I saw the film.'' She added: 'It wasn't because of me. It was a wonderful performance by Farrah, and the timing was right. It was just a remarkable confluence of the right things happening at the right time.' Still, Ms. Goldemberg began fielding entreaties from other actresses who wanted her to write star vehicles for them, projects akin to 'The Burning Bed.' She did so for one of Fawcett's fellow angels, Jaclyn Smith, cowriting the TV movie 'Florence Nightingale' for her. Broadcast in April 1985, it did not have the same impact as 'The Burning Bed'; most critics found it soapy and forgettable. A Lucille Ball vehicle fared much better. Ball wanted a script about homelessness, and when she and Ms. Goldemberg met at her Beverly Hills house, Ball laid out her terms: She wanted to play a character with some of the personality traits of her grandmother, and named for her. Ms. Goldemberg came up with 'Stone Pillow,' a television film about a homeless woman named Florabelle. In his Times review, under the headline 'Lucille Ball Plays a Bag Lady on CBS,' O'Connor called the movie 'a carefully contrived concoction' but praised Ball 'as wily and irresistible as ever.' Advertisement Rose Marion Leiman was born on May 17, 1928, on Staten Island, N.Y. Her mother, Esther (Friedman) Leiman, oversaw the home until World War II, when she became an executive secretary at Bank of America; her father, Louis Leiman, owned a chain of dry-cleaning stores in New Jersey. Rose earned a bachelor's degree in 1949 from Brooklyn College, where she had enrolled at 16, and a Master of Arts in English from Ohio State University. She married Raymond Schiller, a composer who followed her from Brooklyn College to Ohio State, in 1949; he later became a computer systems designer. They divorced in 1968. Her marriage, in 1969, to Robert Goldemberg, a cosmetic chemist, ended in divorce in 1989. Her first television-related job was at TV Guide in the 1950s, writing reviews of shows airing on what was then a new medium. She eventually began writing plays. Ms. Goldemberg is survived by a son, Leiman Schiller, and three stepchildren, David Goldemberg, Kathy Holmes, and Sharanne Goldemberg. This article originally appeared in
