Hoda Kotb Departs Today Show After 26 Years

Hoda Kotb has transitioned to a new chapter in her life after leaving the 'Today' show, having embraced suburban living in Bronxville, NY, with her daughters, Haley and Hope. Following her emotional farewell on January 10, where she expressed gratitude to colleagues and shared heartfelt moments with her family, Kotb is now looking forward to a more 'normal' routine, including walking her children to school. Although stepping down from her on-air role, she will remain part of the NBC family, contributing stories and coverage during the Olympics, as well as continuing her podcast, 'Making Space with Hoda Kotb.' Kotb has expressed a desire to explore wellness and self-discovery, sharing insights into her new lifestyle that includes sleeping in and dedicating more time to family. Her departure marks the end of a significant era, as she served 26 years with NBC, and she is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Amid her personal changes, her successor, Craig Melvin, has received encouraging messages from her as he takes on the co-anchor role.
