Height and build
Her height is not officially published, and listings vary slightly. She is commonly described as average height with a slim build, though this is an estimate rather than a measurement. Viewers see her mostly seated at the Today desk or standing in a studio, where it’s hard to judge height at all, which is part of why numbers vary from site to site.
On-air style
Part of her appeal on morning television is a polished but approachable look: tailored dresses, bright colours and a friendly manner. Viewers regularly notice her wardrobe choices, which suit a demanding live schedule starting before dawn. Colour is a deliberate part of the format. Morning shows tend to favour bright, camera-friendly outfits that stand out against the set, and she has often been praised for wearing them with ease.
Early life
Guthrie was born in Melbourne, Australia, while her father was working there, and grew up in Tucson, Arizona. She studied journalism at the University of Arizona and then earned a law degree at Georgetown University Law Center. She practised law before moving into broadcasting, a background that still shows in how she approaches interviews: she tends to press on specifics and follow up on what a guest has actually said.
Career highlights
She worked as a legal analyst and reporter on local television in Arizona and then at the cable network Court TV. She joined NBC News in 2007 as a correspondent and went on to cover the White House, and she became a co-host of Today in 2012, taking over from Ann Curry, eventually becoming one of the most recognisable faces in American morning news. Alongside Hoda Kotb and later Craig Melvin she hosted the show, and she has also anchored coverage of major national events.
She has also moderated high-profile televised town halls and interviews with national political figures, where her legal training is most visible. Those sessions, along with election-night and special-event coverage, are a large part of why she’s regarded as more than a morning-show personality.
She is also an author. She has written children’s books, including Princesses Wear Pants, which she co-wrote, and a faith-themed book for adults, Mostly What God Does, published in 2022.
Why she resonates with viewers
Morning television runs on likeability, and Guthrie has it, but her audience also respects the preparation behind the smile. She moves between news, interviews, cooking segments and lighter fare without seeming to change gears, which is harder than it looks. She has also been open about her Christian faith, a topic she writes about in her book, which connects with many viewers without straying into overly private territory.
Working a morning-show schedule
The Today job is famously punishing. Anchors typically arrive at the studio in the early hours, rehearse segments, go live for hours of broadcast and then continue to work on interviews and special reports through the rest of the day. The early alarm is a running joke among morning anchors, and it’s part of why her bright, energetic on-air style is something of an achievement in itself. The show’s Rockefeller Plaza studio, with its street-level windows and crowds, adds another layer: she is performing for both a television audience and people standing a few feet away.
What fans ask
The height question is by far the most common, followed by her age and her Australian birthplace. The Melbourne detail surprises many people, since she grew up in Arizona and has no Australian accent. Others ask who she co-hosts with now. Today the main desk lineup includes Craig Melvin, who took on a larger role after Hoda Kotb’s departure from the show.
Personal life
Guthrie married Michael Feldman, a communications consultant, in 2014. We keep the details of her family out of this article.
