“We’re back at 7:30 it’s Friday morning,” Guthrie said. “And it’s a day of mixed emotions as we get ready to say goodbye to an icon here at 30 Rock.” “Let’s face it, all around the world we’ll be counting down to it,” Guthrie continued as she began to giggle and the cameras panned their way over to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree that is still lit up and standing behind the Today studio in New York City.The prank turned what would have been tears into belly laughs as Kotb, Guthrie and Kotb’s successor Craig Melvin realized Guthrie wasn’t talking about Kotb but the iconic Christmas tree so many people travel to see each holiday season.
She said she saw her career so clearly and knew it was time to shift her focus to her beloved mom and her two young daughters. Prior to her final broadcast, Kotb took to Instagram to share a quick message, writing, “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
