As the series progresses, Savannah reappears to update viewers on the ongoing impact of the Zero Day attacks. In an interview with TODAY.com, Savannah shared her affinity for political thrillers, finding them oddly relaxing despite their resemblance to the real news she reports on. Known for her cameos as herself in shows like “30 Rock” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Savannah humorously acknowledged the scarcity of offers to play different roles, quipping that perhaps she should stick to her day job.
