Hoda Kotb Says She's Leaving the 'TODAY' Show

Hoda Kotb announced that she's leaving the "TODAY" show. The beloved co-anchor got choked up as she made the announcement live on-air. Kotb has been a fixture at NBC for more than a quarter of a century. Now, she says she's leaving all that behind to spend more time with her daughters. She made the decision last month after her 60th birthday. The week after her birthday, Kotb left New York City and moved to the suburbs.

I hope they didn’t force her out of the show. She’s amazing. Wish her well.

This just seems strange. Something seems not right about this. She does not look like she wants to be stepping down.

Her daughters will cherish this time with their mother forever. Beautiful decision! ♥️🥹

Calvin, you’re next! Thank you Hoda for your time on Today. Tomorrow is a new day

I know some people will not like this comment, push aside the negative comments about Matt Lauer but he should comeback. People do deserve second chances. After his firing, I stopped watching the show because it felt very fake the anchors.

Good for her. It’s hard to wake up at 4 a.m. everyday to make everyone else happy but you have your own life.
