Hoda Kotb announced Thursday that “it’s time” for her to leave “Today,” which she’s co-anchored for the past five years and worked on for nearly 20.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – APRIL 15: Hoda Kotb moderates the Gymnastics panel during the Team USA Media Summit at Marriott Marquis Hotel on April 15, 2024 in New York City. The longtime NBC veteran announced Thursday that she decided upon turning 60 on air last month that “it’s time” to close this chapter of her life. She will finish out the year at the desk, then transition to an as-yet undefined role at the network — which she dubbed “the longest professional love affair of my life.
In a letter to the show’s staffers, Kotb — whose tenure also included a decade at “Dateline” — wrote that she was “making the right decision, but it’s a painful one. Kotb paid tribute to her “Today” and NBC family, including her “rock” Savannah Guthrie, her “ride-or-die” Bush Hager, and Al Roker, who she counts as her “longest friend at 30 Rock.”
