Savannah Guthrie Dishes on ‘Unpleasant’ Ronna McDaniel NBC Ordeal to Stephen Colbert
A week after NBC fired former Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel following an internal revolt over her hiring, Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie dished to Late Show host Stephen Colbert about the “unpleasant” nature of the whole ordeal.
Appearing Tuesday on the CBS late-night talk show, ostensibly to promote her new book Mostly What God Does, Guthrie soon found herself talking about McDaniel’s brief NBC tenure and the on-air protest by network hosts that resulted in her swift exit.
“Why did you, Savannah Guthrie, personally make that decision to hire her?” Colbert quipped. “And I want you to answer for your crimes. Why did you think that was the best idea?”
