On February 1, 2026, Nancy Guthrie, an 84‑year‑old resident of the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona, was reported missing after failing to arrive at church as expected. According to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Guthrie was last seen at her home on the evening of January 31 at approximately 9:50 p.m. Evidence found inside the residence indicated foul play and a likely abduction, prompting the Sheriff's Department to open a criminal investigation. The case quickly expanded beyond local law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, U. S. Customs and Border Protection, homicide investigators, and search‑and‑rescue teams were brought in to assist. Authorities stated that Guthrie has no known cognitive impairments but does have mobility limitations and requires daily medication essential to her survival. Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a television journalist and co‑anchor of NBC's Today. Following the disappearance, Savannah stepped away from her NBC duties, including co‑hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, to participate in the search efforts.

68th Annual Grammy Awards

pWotD Episode 3198: 68th Annual Grammy Awards Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today. With 844,030 views on Monday, 2 February 2026 our article of the day is 68th Annual Grammy Awards. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards honored the best recordings, compositions, and artists from August 31, 2024, to August 30, 2025, as chosen by the members of the Recording Academy, on February 1, 2026. In its 23rd year at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and for the very last time, the ceremony was broadcast on CBS and available to stream on Paramount+. South African comedian Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony for the sixth consecutive and final time. Kendrick Lamar was the night's biggest winner for the second consecutive year with five wins, including a second consecutive Record of the Year win with "Luther" and a sweep in the Rap categories, winning Best Rap Album for GNX. His fourth five-win Grammy night in his career, Lamar surpassed Jay-Z to become the most-awarded hip-hop artist in Grammy Awards history. Bad Bunny followed him with three wins, including Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, becoming the first Spanish-language album to receive the honor. Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas won Song of the Year for "Wildflower", becoming the most-awarded artists in the category in Grammy Awards history with three wins each. Eilish's win also tied her with Adele for the most wins in the General Field by a female artist, with seven each. Olivia Dean won Best New Artist, the ninth woman in a row to win the award and the first British winner since Dua Lipa in 2019, while Tyler, The Creator's Chromakopia and Zach Top's Ain't in It for My Health took home the inaugural Best Album Cover and Best Traditional Country Album awards. "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters won Best Song Written For Visual Media, becoming the first K-pop song to win a Grammy award in any category. Steven Spielberg won Best Music Film for his role in producing Music by John Williams. Though industry sources claim this win made him the 22nd person to achieve EGOT status, this claim is disputed; he is not credited in Tony Award records as a winning producer of the musical A Strange Loop (which previously made Jennifer Hudson the 17th EGOT winner, and also counted towards the non-competitive EGOT of Amblin Entertainment co-founder Frank Marshall) at the 75th Tony Awards, but one source claims he nonetheless received a Tony statuette in that capacity, and he is listed as a producer of A Strange Loop in the Internet Broadway Database. Lamar led the Grammy Awards with nine nominations, while Jack Antonoff, Cirkut and Lady Gaga followed with seven nominations each. This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:23 UTC on Tuesday, 3 February 2026. For the full current version of the article, see 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Wikipedia.

The men's winner can choose to challenge for either Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship, while the women have the choice between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 42 in Paradise, Nevada. The women's match, which was the opening bout, was won by Raw's Liv Morgan, while the men's match, which was the main event of the card, was won by SmackDown's Roman Reigns. The event also featured AJ Styles's final match. In addition to the two Royal Rumble matches, two other matches were contested on the card. In the first, Gunther defeated AJ Styles by technical submission in a Career Threatening match, while Drew McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn to retain SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship.
