Kotb, 60, appeared on her final episode of the NBC morning show on Friday, January 10. The day started off on a tearful note as she cried after watching a video package of Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Carson Daly singing her praises. In return, she shared her own kind words about her colleagues.
She continued: 'Savannah, oh, my God. You're my person, you're my person. You know who shows up for everybody? This girl. ... She's in the room, she's always in the room, and I love you. Craig, I'm so happy for you. You'e earned this, you own this, and come Monday at 7 o'clock a.m., I am gonna be dead asleep. But you're gonna be fantastic. You're gonna bring it home. Craig, you're gonna be so good. You and Savannah are gonna be magic.
Kotb joined NBC News in April 1998, serving as a correspondent for the national network and Dateline before becoming the host of the fourth hour of the Today show in September 2007. Kathie Lee Gifford stepped in as her cohost from April 2008 to April 2019, before Jenna Bush Hager took over the role. After Matt Lauer’s sudden exit from the Today show following sexual harassment allegations, Kotb was named coanchor in January 2018 alongside Guthrie, 53.
