Hoda Kotb bids farewell to Today with a week of festivities and surprises, marking the end of nearly 30 years at NBC.
Hoda Kotb is saying goodbye to Today with a week full of fun and heartfelt festivities. The stars of the NBC morning show kicked off Kotb’s “Hoda-bration” on Monday, January 6, to mark her final week of episodes. “We’re gonna celebrate you, which is gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really easy,” Jenna Bush Hager said on Today With Hoda & Jenna before joking that she couldn’t even “hold my emotions for one minute.
” Kotb announced in September 2024 that she was leaving Today after nearly 30 years working at NBC, citing her 60th birthday and role as mom to daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, as the main reasons behind her decision. “I had my kiddos late in life, and I was thinking they deserve a bigger piece of my time, the pie that I have. I feel like we only have a finite amount of time,” she explained on air at the time. “And so, with all that being said, this is the hardest thing in the world.” Kotb’s week-long “Hoda-bration” will conclude with a special episode of Hoda & Jenna filmed in front of a live studio audience on Friday, January 10. “There will be big surprises, lots of surprises that Hoda won’t even know about,” Bush Hager, 43, teased on a December 2024 episode of the series. Following Friday’s episode, Bush Hager will continue to cohost the morning show’s fourth hour as Today With Jenna & Friends. She will be joined by a series of rotating guest hosts until a permanent replacement is picked. Craig Melvin, meanwhile, will take over Kotb’s role as Savannah Guthrie’s coanchor.
