Savannah Guthrie is an American broadcast journalist and former attorney, best known as co-anchor of NBC’s Today show. Born in Melbourne, Australia, and raised largely in Tucson, Arizona, she built a career that spans local television news, legal practice and, since 2012, one of the most watched morning-news slots in American television, according to Britannica.

Guthrie graduated magna cum laude from the University of Arizona in 1993 with a degree in journalism and began her television career at NBC affiliate stations before moving to Washington, D.C. station WRC-TV, where she covered the 11 September 2001 attack on the Pentagon and the subsequent anthrax mailings, per Biography.com. While working as a reporter, she simultaneously earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, graduating magna cum laude in 2002 and recording the highest score on that year’s Arizona bar exam.

Guthrie practised law from 2002 to 2003 at the firm Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, specialising in white-collar criminal defence, before returning to journalism in 2004 as a legal-affairs correspondent for Court TV. Her legal training became a defining feature of her later broadcast career, distinguishing her from the majority of morning-television hosts.

Guthrie joined NBC News’s Today in 2011 and was named co-anchor in July 2012, a role she still holds. During her tenure, Today has won a Peabody Award and Emmy Awards for Outstanding Morning Show, and Guthrie herself has been recognised with News Emmys and the Edward R. Murrow Award for her journalism, per reporting on her career.

As Today’s lead co-anchor for over a decade, Guthrie has interviewed multiple U.S. presidents and major public figures and has anchored NBC News’s election-night coverage, drawing on her legal background as the network’s chief legal analyst for major political stories.

Specific endorsement or sponsorship deals are not documented in available reporting on Guthrie’s career; her public profile and income are built on her NBC anchor role and her books rather than brand partnerships.

Guthrie’s income is drawn almost entirely from her NBC broadcasting contract and her publishing work rather than outside business ventures; no company founding or significant outside investment is documented in mainstream reporting on her career.

No specific real-estate holdings or major asset purchases for Guthrie are confirmed in credible reporting reviewed for this profile, and none are asserted here.
