Savannah Guthrie‘s 7-year-old son, Charley, made an adorable surprise appearance on TODAY during a live segment on May 23. As the U.S. Navy Band Northeast performed ‘God Bless America,’ co-host Hoda Kotb held up Savannah’s phone, showing Charley on FaceTime.

Fans were quick to react to the moment, commenting on Instagram with messages like This is so cute – the epitome of ‘I don’t care what my mom does for a living. I need to speak with her.
Charley’s cameo isn’t just about a cute interruption—it’s reflective of Guthrie’s balance between work and parenting. In an interview with PEOPLE, she noted, I’m so grateful for my blessings. I really can’t get over it—I’ll never get over it.
Co-anchor Hoda added to this sentiment praising Guthrie saying, If there’s a day where five minutes before air, the foremost thing on our mind is something that happened at home, we can talk about that with each other. If I need to vent, I know Hoda has an open and willing ear and really good advice too.
The emotional moment underscores the strong camaraderie between Guthrie and Kotb on TODAY. Reflecting on her relationship with Hoda and her role at the desk, Guthrie shared with TODAY.com how significant this bond is for her.
The musical performance by the U.S. Navy Band Northeast resonated beyond just the studio. According to Kotb, Charley was particularly excited about their remarkable rendition. She remarked,You can’t blame him; the music is incredible.
Savannah shares Charley and 9-year-old daughter Vale with husband Michael Feldman. The journalist often reflects on her journey to motherhood with profound gratitude. She told PEOPLE earlier this year,There were times when I didn’t think there was much hope for me, but being a parent has left me feeling so lucky.
