Willie Geist Says Savannah Guthrie Looked Like Michelle Pfeiffer in 'Scarface 'at His and Wife's Joint 50th Birthday Party
According to Willie Geist, Savannah Guthrie has a celebrity lookalike! The journalists reminisced on their longtime friendship while guest hosting Today with Jenna & Friends on Monday, July 21. As they reflected on the joint '70s themed birthday bash Geist and his wife threw for their 50th birthdays earlier this year, the pair even shared a photo of them all dressed up. 'I just love a theme,' Guthrie confessed. Geist said that he and wife Christina 'love a 70s party' in particular. 'Yeah, give me a costume, give me a kind of music, give me a challenge,' he added. 'Yeah, and I feel like the '70s looks good on everyone,' Guthrie agreed. When the picture of them in extravagant, sparkly outfits popped up, Geist realized that Guthrie reminded him of someone. 'You look like Michelle Pfeiffer there!' he exclaimed. 'I mean, Scarface, the dress.' Guthrie then teased Geist and her husband, Michael Feldman, 'both have a pornstar vibe going' with their looks, calling the image 'incredible.' 'Yeah, now that I look at myself, is that even 70s?' Geist joked. 'You just need a porn-stache.' Guthrie and Geist are set to co-host Jenna & Friends all week while Jenna Bush Hager is off. The fourth hour show was previously hosted by Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb, who retired in January after 17 years with the network. On Monday, Jan. 6, Bush Hager, 43, announced that a rotating list of celebrity guests would be stepping in to help fill the empty slot, including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria and Keke Palmer. In June, she offered an update on the search for a replacement for Kotb during an interview with PEOPLE. "We're still searching," she said. "We definitely want somebody permanent at some point just because that's our show, and I think the Today show is such a family." "So to have somebody sit in that seat means a lot to all of us. So it will happen," she continued. "I think we've all just been kind of living day by day and we don't have any developments yet, but we will."

Savannah Guthrie's favorite looks revealed as she is dubbed 'morning show style queen'
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Savannah Guthrie - who was recently branded as the 'morning show style queen' -has seriously elevated her wardrobe in recent years, and it turns out that some of her best outfits are from fan-favorite brands like Veronica Beard and Cinq à Sept. Guthrie has been a member of The TODAY Show family since 2012, and is currently the co-anchor of Today at NBC News and the network's chief legal correspondent. Since starting her post as co-anchor, she's quickly become a favorite among viewers for her upbeat attitude, but there's something else that stands out about Guthrie, and that's her style. Every day, Guthrie seems to sport a super fun and different yet still professional outfit, not shying away from bright colors or busy patterns. This summer, she's especially been showing off her fun side, as Liz Teich, who from New York Stylist told Daily Mail that Guthrie outfits are 'what set her apart from the majority of the news world.' But you may be surprised to know that many of Guthrie's clothing items are available for purchase online from various department stores, or other shopping platforms like Shopbop. Her clothes are high-end, but not so out-of-reach that you have to scour the looks from Paris' Haute Couture Fashion Week to find them. Last month, the Today star wore an adorable, white-and-blue gingham print knit dress by designer Sea New York that retailed for $395.

Keeping on the yellow theme this summer, the mom-of-two wore a $695 yellow-and-white patterned belted shirtdress by Cara Cara while reporting on June 24. The brightly-patterned dress hit her a bit below the knee, and featured a slit at the center of the bottom hem. But Guthrie doesn't only just stun while on-air in the summer - this past winter, she had a number of fun looks that even included sequins.

EXCLUSIVE Savannah Guthrie, the morning show style queen: Insiders reveal what sets Today anchor apart from her rivals
Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie has been waking up the nation with the latest headlines from across the country and around the world for the best part of 13 years. The accomplished broadcast journalist, 53, is onscreen every weekday from 7am ET alongside fellow presenter Craig Melvin, 46, and the rest of the Today show team, which includes the likes of Al Roker, Carson Daly, Jenna Bush Hager, Dylan Dreyer, Willie Geist, Laura Jarrett, and Sheinelle Jones. The program has rotated and changed over the years, but Savannah has remained a constant presence. From breaking the news of disgraced co-host Matt Lauer 's sudden departure from the show, to making history alongside Hoda Kotb as the first female pair to front the program, she is the beating heart. So much so that a source close to the network exclusively told the Daily Mail: 'She's warm and pleasant... She's always got a smile. Everyone likes her, she rolls with the punches.' And Savannah has also won over a legion of fans outside the studio too. Among the plaudits is an overwhelming appreciation of her sense of style - a quality also spotted by fashion guru Liz Teich, who runs The New York Stylist. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail about Savannah's sartorial choices, she gushed about how her outfits are 'what set her apart from the majority of the news world.' 'Savannah's style is professional, yet approachable, has personality, and doesn't feel as tired as the expected jeweled tone shift dress that most people in news tend to gravitate towards,' Liz shared. 'She keeps it classic, yet still trend forward (never trendy), tailored, as well as isn't afraid of unexpected color or patterns.' 'Savannah's style exudes her confidence in her position on TV, as she doesn't feel the need to dress like every other anchor,' she concluded. And as Savannah continues to thrive as NBC's new lead star, Femail has delved into her history on the Today show – including her friendships with her costars – as well as her life outside of the Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center. Savannah has been a main fixture on the Today show since 2012, when she began her co-anchoring the program with Matt Lauer. Together they fronted the show for five years, until November 2017 when his contract was terminated after he was reported for sexual harassment by an NBC employee. Savannah fought back tears as she shared a statement from their NBC News boss Andrew Lack about his exit on the show at the time. 'As I'm sure you can imagine, we are devastated, and we are still processing all of this,' said the choked-up host. 'I will tell you, right now we do not know more than what I just shared with you.' Savannah and her co-host that morning, Hoda Kotb, who became Lauer's replacement, were later seen comforting each other and sharing an on-set hug as they tried to come to terms with the news. Despite the scandal that ripped through the program, the dust soon settled, and Savannah brought the Today show into a new era with Hoda, 60, in January 2018. Together, they fronted the show for seven years, until January 2025 when Hoda stepped away from hosting duties to focus on raising her two young daughters, Hope and Haley. The two, both working mothers with two young children, fast became friends – and their friendship continues to this day. In 2022, Savannah credited Hoda with saving the Today show following Lauer's termination. 'All I know was in that moment, it felt like I could drown if Hoda hadn't reached down and grabbed my hand,' she said at an event celebrating the show at The Paley Center. 'I will always say she saved the show full stop. And holding hands with her and being like, "We're going to do this together," meant everything to me. I don't think I had the confidence by myself.' Beside her on-screen and off-screen friendship with Hoda, Savannah is particularly close with Jenna Bush Hager. 'We clicked right away when we met in person,' Savannah previously said on the show about their bond. 'There was something sort of in our DNA that spoke to each other, and I felt like even though I was meeting her for the first time, I'd known her for many, many years,' Jenna, 43, added. The pair grew close shortly after Savannah became co-host of the Today show in 2012. Savannah is godmother to Jenna's youngest child, Henry Harold 'Hal' Hager, whom she welcomed with her husband in 2019. Similarly, Jenna is godmother to Savannah's daughter Vale, who was born in August 2014. 'It's the greatest compliment that a person could receive,' Savannah gushed about being asked to be Hal's godmother. 'I know she knows what it means to me. I also wanted to just say to Jenna, you are one of my closest friends, and I am handing you my heart because my little girl is my heart.' For the past seven months, Savannah has been hosting the Today show with Craig Melvin. After it was announced that Craig would be stepping into the role, Savannah gave her seal of approval and called his promotion 'one of the most popular decisions NBC News has ever made.' Besides her role as host, Savannah has made two television cameo appearances this year. In January, she revealed her cameo in season two of the action thriller Netflix show, The Night Agent. 'I just act like Savannah Guthrie all day and all night,' she joked to her Today show colleagues. 'I even sleep as her. It's extremely method. I go to work as her. That's how I got into the role. I just was very method.' The following month, Savannah popped up in Netflix drama Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro. Commenting on her role, De Niro said: 'I want to give no notes. It was very good. It was terrific.' She previously appeared in the likes of 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Savannah is happily married to her husband Michael Feldman, whom she wed in March 2014. This year, the couple – who share daughter Vale, 10, and son Charles, eight – celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary. Before Michael, Savannah was briefly married to BBC News presenter Mark Orchard – although she recently stated that it 'the one thing I didn't ever want to talk about.' Speaking on Monica Lewinsky's Reclaiming podcast on July 1, she said the end of the marriage 'broke my heart.' 'It was horrible and sad and it broke my heart,' she said of the divorce. 'It took me years to recover. I'm not blaming anyone, but I don't really want to get into it.' Savannah was married to Mark from 2005 to 2009. In her conversation with Monica, she revealed that interviewees have respected her decision to avoid any talk about the marriage breakdown. 'Pretty much everyone I ever did an interview with and sat down with respected that boundary,' she said. 'I appreciate that. I don't take that for granted.' The same year that her divorce was finalized, Savannah met former Democratic political adviser Michael at his 40th birthday party which she 'crashed,' attending as her gal pal's plus one. She and Michael hit it off and they began dating after he sent her an email 'a few days later.' In February, Savannah revealed that she broke up with Michael hours before he proposed because she thought he would never pop the question. In an interview with Kelly Clarkson, she recalled: 'I did break up with him the day we got engaged.' 'I certainly did not think we were getting engaged,' she added. 'When you've been dating for five and a half years, you no longer think a trip to the beach is the day. Like, you're not getting your nails done.' Remembering her conversation with Michael, Savannah said she told him: 'Well, honey, you know we love each other... but this had been going on too long, so I think let's just say goodbye. Let's just let each other go.' He instead urged them to 'go enjoy the day' and Savannah recalled feeling 'weepy' – until he got down on one knee. She continued: 'Little do I know, he has an engagement ring in his pocket. So, he has a choice at that point: forget it, nobody knew he hadn't told a friend, didn't tell his parents, nobody knew he was gonna propose. 'So, he could've easily just let the whole thing go, we break up, that's the end of the story. But at sunset he said, "You know, [the resort] sent us this champagne lets go sit outside and have a drink."' The couple ultimately exchanged vows just outside of Savannah's hometown of Tucson, Arizona in March 2014, a year after their engagement. Five months after saying 'I do', the pair welcomed their first child together, daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman, on August 13. And two years later on December 8, 2016, the host gave birth to their son, Charles Max.

QAnon shows the staying power of Epstein theories. Trump should know they won't go away
On a Saturday afternoon in October 2020, in a small hotel conference room just outside Phoenix, Arizona, the mood was buoyant. A gentleman wearing an unusual and elaborate headpiece scoffed and grunted my way as I entered the room. It was the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and of the 60 or so people who gathered here, I was among the very few wearing a facemask. Some in the room didn't believe Covid was even real. The crowd cheered as they watched a clip of President Trump play on a television at the front of the room. The video was from 48 hours earlier, when Trump had been asked by NBC News' Savannah Guthrie if he would disavow QAnon. He would not. Trump said he knew nothing about QAnon but that 'they are very much against pedophilia' and that he agreed with that sentiment. A couple of months earlier, Trump said he'd heard that QAnon followers were 'people that love our country.' His refusal to denounce the conspiracy theory was celebrated in that Arizona conference room. The crowd had gathered for QCon, a convention of QAnon followers that was taking place a couple of weeks before the 2020 presidential election. These were among Trump's most diehard, most online supporters. Many of them had been mired in the labyrinth of QAnon — a conspiracy theory that among other things alleges a powerful cabal of elite pedophiles controls the government — ever since Q, the anonymous persona behind the conspiracy first began posting three years earlier in 2017. Jeffrey Epstein was a central character in the QAnon theory. Q posted dozens of times about the convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker while pointing out his ties to Democratic Party politicians. Already convinced that Trump was sending secret, coded QAnon messages in his speeches and public appearances (he wasn't), the crowd at this 2020 event took his refusal to disavow the conspiracy theory as an endorsement of it. In the years since, Trump has repeatedly posted memes that include QAnon iconography. In May, the liberal watchdog Media Matters found Trump had amplified QAnon-promoting accounts on his Truth Social page more than 1,000 times since 2022. In the eyes of QAnon's adherents, that was a thousand endorsements of a wild conspiracy theory in which Epstein is a central figure. That's why Trump's sudden dismissal and disapproval of his base's relentless questions about the so-called Epstein files this week has come as such a shock to many among MAGA and QAnon adherents. Trump is known for being innately in tune with the beliefs, emotions and grievances of his base, as a savvy media manipulator and — whether you like it or not — an ingenious social media user. Either Trump is playing dumb here and hoping he can wish the Epstein obsession away — or perhaps this is a remarkable instance of the 79-year-old president not fully grasping how profoundly he has stoked and encouraged the conspiratorial beliefs of many in his base. Trump has tried this week to blame the mainstream media for turning the Epstein files saga into a scandal for his administration. While that's a rather typical tactic for him, it also glosses over the power of the MAGA media universe that has built itself around him. Talk of the Epstein files reignited on Tuesday not because of reporting from CNN or The New York Times, but because of an interview House Speaker Mike Johnson gave to Benny Johnson, a MAGA influencer. The online MAGA sphere has become so large and so lucrative in large part because so many of its followers are so fervent about the tangled web of conspiracy theories they are sold on a daily basis. Many of these people are hyper-online and, in their most extreme, can manifest as QAnon adherents. While the general attention of MAGA media shifts from one outrage to the next — much like other forms of media — there are a few storylines that remain consistent and eternally present. Tune into MAGA media on any given day and you should expect to hear about the 2020 election being stolen or about Epstein and something along the lines of there being an evil cabal of liberal elites covering up a global child sex-trafficking operation. Trump has relied on MAGA's obsession with the former to demonize his political opponents and fuel his electoral success. Now he has to deal with the latter. It's easy to underestimate the power of online conspiracy theories and the emotions they can conjure — and it seems Trump himself might be doing so now. Back in that Arizona conference room in October 2020, QAnon followers repeated Trump's words that the only way he could lose the election was if it was stolen. A few months later, the US Capitol was attacked. A man named Jacob Chansley would become one of the most recognizable figures from that day because of what he was wearing, especially his unusual headpiece. He was the 'QAnon Shaman' and it was he who had grunted at me for wearing a facemask in that Arizona conference room. Today, after being pardoned by Trump, he is an active social-media user posting regularly about — you guessed it — Jeffrey Epstein and Democrat-run sex abuse rings. On their face, conspiracy theories can seem stupid, like vapid online chatter. We are often tempted to laugh at them and assume they will go away if they are ignored. But they don't go away and neither do the people who passionately believe in them. President Trump may be learning that the hard way.
