Savannah Guthrie recently shared a lighthearted account of her experience after giving birth, recalling how she transformed her hospital delivery room into a lively gathering place for family and friends. On the show “Today with Jenna & Friends,” Guthrie humorously compared the chaotic atmosphere to a party reminiscent of “Mötley Crüe in the ‘80s,” following her C-section delivery.
The 53-year-old co-host recalled eagerly anticipating sushi and a glass of wine, and began inviting people over to meet her newborn. “That room was, like, as if Mötley Crüe in the ‘80s had been there. When we left it was trashed,” she said, sharing her approach to hosting in the hospital setting.
Notably, Guthrie mentioned her creative use of a hospital urinal as an ice bucket for chilling wine, a claim that sparked a playful debate with co-host Jenna Bush Hager. While Guthrie assured Bush Hager that it wasn’t a used urinal, Bush Hager made light of the situation, recalling her own hospital experience with her sister and their attempts to grab the perfect photos.
Guthrie also reminisced about her parenting style, noting her admiration for her mother’s no-nonsense approach and how she aims to emulate it. In earlier interviews, she had expressed her intent to embrace this ‘80s-inspired parenting, emphasizing straightforwardness in her upbringing.
This amusing and relatable story showcases Guthrie’s fun personality and offers a glimpse into the joys and chaos of new motherhood, reminding us that even in less conventional settings, celebrations of new life can be memorable and filled with laughter. It’s a beautiful illustration of how great moments can be created amid life’s challenges, echoing the sentiment that love and joy can thrive in any environment.
