Today Show Security Tightens After Recent Incidents | Birmingham News

NBC’s “Today” show is stepping up security after a shocking July breach where an intruder lunged at anchor Craig Melvin, used a racial slur, and demanded info on Al Roker — all before being subdued by police. Compounding the tension, Savannah Guthrie’s mother was kidnapped in February and remains missing. In response, NBC has tightened studio protocols, limiting guests to just two support staff members — anyone exceeding that must wait in the green room. Staff say they’re fully supportive of the changes, which have already improved morale and safety. The network is clearly prioritizing security after these high-stakes incidents.
