Raising a few eyebrows with her recent remark, Savannah Guthrie makes a noteworthy statement
In a candid moment on the Today show on August 13, 2025, host Savannah Guthrie admitted to being part of an "underage drinker crew" during her adolescence[1]. The confession was made during a discussion about viral sorority rush videos, and her co-host Al Roker jokingly commented, "I was just gonna say, 'Mom was an underage drinker!'"
Guthrie's co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, has previously spoken openly about her own history involving underage alcohol possession and the use of a fake ID, including arrests in her youth[2][3]. This suggests the Today team has addressed underage drinking candidly, possibly with a tone of humor or understanding, but no direct description of the reaction to Guthrie's admission was found.
During the discussion, Guthrie also revealed that she shares her children, Vale (10) and Charley (8), with husband Michael Feldman. The talk between Guthrie and Roker started with a reminisce about their high school and college groups. Guthrie quickly acknowledged that her children could be watching the show.
Roker, who was a part of the AV Club during his high school years, referred to his group as "the geeks." No new information about Guthrie's high school or college group was provided in this segment. Guthrie's co-hosts raised their eyebrows at her confession, implying disapproval. However, Guthrie stated that group affiliation doesn't matter, implying that one should find their people.
Roker also joked that Guthrie's children might use her confession against her in the future. Guthrie's group during high school and college remains unspecified in the text.
