SAVANNAH Guthrie is back on the Today show for the first time since her mother’s abduction.

The anchor has been on an extended leave of absence since Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her home on February 1.

Savannah was joined on the anchor desk Monday morning by co-host Craig Melvin.

“Good morning, welcome to Today on this Monday morning,” Savannah said.

“We are so glad you started your week with us, and it’s good to be home.”

’It’s good to have you back at home,” Craig said, reaching out to touch her hand.

Savannah replied, “Well, ready or not, let’s do the news!”

Craig immediately jumped into a news segment on the Iran War.

A person familiar with NBC’s plans told The U.S. Sun previously that Savannah was looking to return to the show without any fanfare.

Former Today show host Hoda Kotb has been filling in for Savannah since early February.

“Production had planned to make a big deal about her comeback, including lots of yellow balloons and flowers, and even a religious choir to greet her on her first day,” the source said.

“But Savannah said no to all of it. She immediately shut it down.

“No big gestures, no production. She wants it to feel normal, and that includes how the show begins.”

Al Roker also briefly acknowledged the anchor’s return before quickly moving into the weather.

He blew Savannah a kiss and said, “Well I just like looking over here!”

Savannah sweetly replied, “Good morning, sunshine!”

She also noted the amount of fans that had gathered in the plaza to support her on her first day back.

“I’m feeling the love so much!” she said.

Savannah later greeted fans in the plaza with her co-hosts in an emotional moment.

“These signs are so beautiful,” Savannah told the crowd, holding back tears.

“You guys have been so beautiful. I’ve received so many letters, so much kindness to me and my whole family. We feel it. We feel your prayers, so thank you so much.”

Savannah’s return to work comes on the heels of an emotional Easter message she gave at her church, Good Shepard New York.

“We celebrate today the promise of a new life that never ends in death,” she said in the video message.

“But standing here today, I have to tell you, there are moments in which that promise seems irretrievably far away, when life itself seems far harder than death.

“These moments of deep disappointment with God, the feeling of utter abandonment for most of us, there will come a time in our life when these feelings hold sway.”

Savannah returned to 30 Rock for the first time in March for an emotional, private reunion with her co-workers.

She shed tears as she thanked staffers for their support.

“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she continued.

“And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe.”
