‘Today’ host Savannah Guthrie says Ronna McDaniel debacle was ‘unpleasant few days’ at NBC News

Savannah Guthrie said the infamous Ronna McDaniel debacle made for “an unpleasant few days" at NBC on Tuesday before declaring she had nothing to do with it.

Guthrie, who was among NBC News’ only stars to refrain from bashing the decision to hire McDaniel, was asked about the ordeal during a Tuesday appearance on CBS’ "Late Show with Stephen Colbert."   Brian Flood is a media editor/reporter for FOX News Digital.

The liberal CBS host asked, "Why did you, Savannah Guthrie, personally make that decision to hire her? And I want you to answer for your crimes. Why did you think that was the best idea?"
