Savannah Guthrie announced on TODAY this morning that she will be undergoing surgery on her vocal cords and will be out for a few weeks in early 2026. Plus, how waiting on Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen at an Arkansas cafe changed a server's life, and the one skin care device that's worth the money during the cold, dry winter months.
Savannah Guthrie announced on TODAY this morning that she will undergo vocal cord surgery after doctors found vocal nodules and a polyp. "It's not a big, big deal, but I am going to have a surgery real early in the new year and be off for a couple of weeks," she said. Sheinelle Jones, who underwent the same surgery in 2020, presented her with a gift to help during her recovery.
A day when server Lindsey Lauten had to fight the urge to call out of work at an Arkansas coffee shop turned into a shift that completely altered the trajectory of her life. She ended up waiting on celebrity couple Ted Danson and Arkansas native Mary Steenburgen, who noticed her work ethic and offered her a life-changing opportunity. "You never know who is watching," Lauten tells TODAY.com. "Every job deserves your full attention and care."
