Why Was Hoda Kotb Missing From ‘TODAY’ Show?

"TODAY" co-host Craig Melvin revealed new details about Hoda Kotb's mysterious disappearance. Her last appearance on the show was on February 17th. Melvin says Kotb is dealing with a family health matter but did not elaborate further. The 58-year-old posted inspirational messages on social media including one with a horse and a little child, reading, "One day you will see just how brave you have been." Two days ago, she also posted "Choose Hope," which is also her youngest daughter's name.

I swear I know I'm in journalism but there's a difference between reporting on a story and then digging into people's lives.

I just had my first bout with Covid. Let me tell you, it was no joke! I had to be hospitalized for Covid Pneumonia. I'm wishing her and Hoda's family a speedy recovery.

I hope things work out for her and her family.

I love Hoda but please show her some respect for her privacy.

It’s none of our business but glad she’s okay

[missld]

WTF give her privacy Jesus can they draw anymore attention to her when it’s obvious she was not disclosing what family matter it’s about

Companies do not look at you as people, just a number in their balance sheet...

[razberrypumpkin]

No body cares. Inside edition needs to start uploading important stuff. This isn't important

[stevoptown]

Omg!!! For the love of God, why was Hoda missing?!?!?!?... Oh yeah, don't care.

[SundraTanakoh]

What the hell difference does it make? Is it really news if she takes time off..??? More important things to worry about.

[bennyblanco]

Hot damn..she can't even get a day off..

[tyleriguana]

Ah yes, the reporter who called Jim Henson “Jim Henderson” at the Thanksgiving Parade 😂😂😂

[ByrdG]

And this is the the best news you have?

[carlf.]

You can't have a break or few days off?

[TodayismyBirthday]

If Suzanne had Covid then apparently Hoda got it too

[denisepaulsenful]

Family health matter? Yeah sure. What a pack of lies.

[joshwongwai]

[sythe]
