Sep 26, 2024, 12:37 PM

Hoda Kotb has announced her departure from NBC's 'Today' show, effective at the end of 2024. Kotb, who has been with NBC for 26 years and co-anchored 'Today' for the past five years, cited a desire to spend more time with her two young daughters as a key reason for her decision. She shared the news both on air and in a letter to staff, expressing her love for the show and its viewers. Kotb's exit will create two critical anchor slots in NBC's morning franchise. Despite her departure, she will remain an occasional contributor to NBC. Kotb has been a part of 'Today' for 17 years, co-anchoring with Savannah Guthrie and leading the 10 a.m hour.
