Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and more of the 'Today' show family got emotional while reacting to Hoda Kotb's announcement that she's leaving the show
“I just turned 60, and it was such a monumental moment for me when I turned 60 years old because I started thinking about that decade, like, what does that decade mean? What does it hold? What’s it gonna have for me?” Kotb, 60, tearfully shared on the Thursday, September 26, episode of Today. “And I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and to try something new.”
Kotb — who shares her daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, with her ex-fiancé, Joel Schiffman — noted that she will remain on Today until January 1, 2025. “I’m gonna stay in the NBC family,” she added. “But it’s kind of a big deal for me.” Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie.“Hoda, we love you so much, and when you look around and you see these tears, they’re love. You are so loved.
Guthrie, meanwhile, noted, “We can hold our sorrow of missing her and loving her so much with our gratitude that it happened. … And just the joy and admiration of her bravery.”“Hoda told me just a couple days ago, and when she told me, my first reaction was from my gut and it was almost crazy. … I said, ‘No, you can’t leave,’” Bush Hager, 42, said through a flow of tears on Thursday’s episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna.
