Savannah Guthrie's stark response after interviewer asked bold question about her looks divides internet
Savannah Guthrie said she didn't know what veneers were after a reporter boldly asked whether she had them during an uncomfortable appearance on a red carpet. The 53-year-old NBC Today host had been out celebrating the launch of her former colleague Hoda Kotb 's new wellness brand, Joy 101, at Current at Chelsea Piers last month when she was bizarrely asked about her teeth. During a toe-curling interview with Parade Magazine, Guthrie seemed to be playing a game on the red carpet where she blindly chose questions that were written on folded pieces of paper to answer. But when one contained an inquiry about her appearance, things turned awkward, eventually leading to Guthrie walking away abruptly. A video of the tense moment has since gone viral on TikTok, dividing the internet. In the clip, Guthrie read the question aloud, which said: 'Do you have veneers?' 'What is that, like braces?' Guthrie responded, appearing dumbfounded. 'The teeth,' the reporter helped. 'Well, I did Invisalign,' Guthrie replied. 'Is that what that means? What are veneers?' The reporter quipped: 'You would know if you had it.' 'OK, I guess no,' Guthrie continued. 'No, I don't have veneers. I probably need them, whatever they are.' 'No, your teeth are perfect,' the reporter observed. Guthrie quickly ended the interview after that, telling the journalist: 'I'm going to get veneers. I gotta go, getting veneers.' Viewers were split over the bizarre question, as well as Guthrie's response - with some doubting Guthrie's lack of knowledge about veneers. Others criticized the interviewer for daring to ask such a personal inquiry, which they deemed as rude. Taking to the comments, one said: 'Why are people so rude to Savannah? OMG just let her be human, it's literally not hard to be nice!' Another wrote: 'She's a journalist and doesn't know what veneers are?' 'She knows what they are, give me a break,' a third penned. 'Oh come on,' added a fourth. In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. Veneers can improve the aesthetics and function of a smile and protect the tooth's surface from damage. While Guthrie hasn't had veneers, she has had treatment for her vision three times. In 2021, she underwent her last surgery to re-attach her retina after her son threw a toy train at her eye two years prior. Speaking to People at the time, she said: 'My eye is good. The short answer is that it's good, and I think I've had my last surgery. I really do. 'And I'm seeing well, and I just actually got a prescription for eyeglasses, which I haven't been able to wear [yet]. So, I'm super excited to wear glasses. 'And I kind of can't believe that this all took so long, but honestly since the surgery I had last summer after the pandemic, my eyesight's been dramatically better.' She previously underwent surgery to re-attach the retina in her eye in November 2019, shortly after the accident left her with blurry vision. But the surgery didn't fix Guthrie's sight issues and and she had developed cataracts by July 2020. In April 2021, she sought medical attention again. Guthrie shares daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, eight, with husband Michael Feldman.

Friends vet Marlo Thomas is seen for FIRST time since her husband Phil Donahue died 8 months ago at 88
Marlo Thomas - who played Jennifer Aniston 's mother on Friends - has been seen for the first time since her husband Phil Donahue died in August. The 87-year-old brunette actress was spotted on the red carpet at the Family Equality's Night at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers in N ew York City on Monday. The iconic star from Michigan looked youthful with soft makeup and spring highlights as she wore a heart-shaped pendant around her neck. The That Girl! star modeled a long pale pink gown with black accents as she was spotted posing with pal Demi Moore. And Thomas - whose father was actor Danny Thomas - still had her gold wedding rings from Donahue on. The host of The Phil Donahue Show passed away at the age of 88 in August. He was surrounded by relatives, including his actress wife, at his home. She wrote on Instagram, along with a sweet photo of the pair riding a motorbike together on vacation: 'I'm sure by now you've heard the very sad news that I lost my sweetheart last night. 'I know you understand that I'll be stepping away from this page for a while to take care of myself and the many people who took care of Phil, and held him close to their hearts. 'But I didn't want to disappear without saying thank you for the beautiful messages of love and support that have been coming in all day,' the 86-year-old actress disclaimed. '[A]nd for the wonderful and generous way that you've let Phil and me share our life adventure with you over the years.' She continued: 'As a man who spent his career loving his audiences, Phil got such a kick out of our cozy little community [on social media], and I know he would be very touched by the heartwarming thoughts and memories you've been sharing. 'Until I return, I wish you good health and happy days in the company of family and friends, and I hope that you will continue to hold close those you cherish most, just as I was blessed to do with my beloved Phillip,' Donahue's second wife said. 'Love, Marlo,' she went on to sign, while sharing a vintage photo of the pair on a European holiday. 'P.S. This is one of my favorite photos of Phil and me,' she wrote. '[T]aken on vacation.' Countless comments offering words of consolation ensued, for a woman who had been married to Donahue for the past 44 years. The pair actually met on the set of his program back in 1977 - with Donahue the host and Thomas his guest. The two would go on to wed just three years later, following 'instant chemistry' felt by Thomas with the TV talker, she revealed in a 2015 post to Gacebook. 'Phil and I met on his talk show, 'Donahue,' in 1977,' Thomas, who continues to act and produce to this day, wrote at the time. 'He flirted, I giggled, and his TV audience watched us fall in love.' The couple would then marry in 1980, having five children. Meanwhile, the show went on, with Donahue hosting big names such as Bill Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Johnny Carson, Ayn Rand, and Nelson Mandela over the course of 16 more years on his seminal show. He would also go on to win 20 Emmys - 10 for outstanding host, and 10 for the overall show. Just last month, Marlo posted a more recent photo of the icon on Instagram, showing him on a farm in Canada feeding a horse. Unlike when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Joe Biden back in May, he stood on his own accord with the aid of a cane, looking health and happy in the idyllic setting. The shot was snapped at least a year-and-half ago, during filming for Hallmark's A Magical Christmas Village, which featured Thomas as a star, The pair (seen here on the set of the Phil Donahue show) actually met on the program back in 1977 - with Donahue the host and Thomas his guest The actress remembered the occasion with a loving caption, writing to her 145,000 followers, 'Here's a favorite shot of Phil in the morning feeding the horses near the house where we were staying in Canada. 'A lovely way to start the day!' Tributes have since poured in for the fondly remembered TV personality, who set an example for figures as far-ranging Oprah Winfrey, Geraldo Rivera, and Sally Jesse Raphael with his approach to daytime TV. Winfrey - who is worth more than $3billion - famously said in 2002: 'If there had been no Phil Donahue show, there would be no Oprah Winfrey', and shared her own statement reiterating those sentiments on Monday. 'There wouldn't have been an Oprah Show without Phil Donahue being the first to prove that daytime talk and women watching should be taken seriously,' she wrote. 'He was a pioneer. I'm glad I got to thank him for it. Rest in peace Phil.' Donahue is survived by his wife sister, children, and grandchildren, all of whom were by his side when he passed.
