NBC host Savannah Guthrie returned to the "Today" show on Monday as her mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing for over 60 days.

A man was detained Thursday after allegedly slipping past security at NBCโ€™s Today show studios in New York while looking for Al Roker, TMZ reported.

After failing to find Roker, he reportedly lunged at co-host Craig Melvin and shouted a racial slur before security detained him.
