Hoda Kotb announced on Thursday, September 26, that she was leaving the 'Today' show after five years as coanchor — but she will remain at NBC
Don’t worry Today fans, Kotb still has three months left on the morning show.
'I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60, and to try something new,' she explained. 'I remembered standing outside looking at these beautiful bunch of people with these gorgeous signs, and I thought, 'This is what the top of the wave feels like for me.' And I thought it can't get better, and I decided that this is the right time for me to kind of move on.
Kotb confirmed that she will remain on Today until January 1, 2025, before transitioning into an unspecified role at NBC. 'It's kind of a big deal for me,' she shared while getting emotional on screen. 'I've been practicing so I wouldn't cry, but anyway, I did.'
