Hoda Kotb bids farewell to NBC's Today Show after nearly 20 years! Find out what led to her decision and who might take her place!

After nearly two decades of brightening our mornings, Hoda Kotb has made the heartfelt decision to step down as co-anchor of NBC's beloved "TODAY" show. This news, delivered with her signature warmth during a recent episode, has left fans wondering how mornings will ever be the same without her infectious smile and easygoing charm. In a touching letter to staff, Hoda expressed her love for the show, saying, "I will miss you all," showcasing the connections she built with both her colleagues and loyal viewers.

Hoda, who has been a vital part of NBC for an impressive 26 years, first gained national recognition as a correspondent for "Dateline. " Since taking on her role at "TODAY," she co-hosted alongside Savannah Guthrie and took over after the departure of Matt Lauer. It's hard to believe that the delightful presence we’ve come to cherish is contemplating retirement, especially after achieving a significant milestone: turning 60! Hoda seeks a fresh start, with her family firmly in her sight.

With her departure set for early 2025, there's already speculation about who will step into Hoda's shoes at "TODAY." Names like Jenna Bush Hager and Laura Jarrett have been thrown into the mix, leaving fans of the morning show buzzing with excitement. Who could possibly match Hoda's ability to connect with audiences or her extensive experience? The big question remains: Can anyone pull off that bubbly charm while discussing the day’s pressing issues?

As we bid farewell to Hoda, let’s take a moment to appreciate her incredible impact. Did you know her years on "TODAY" have inspired countless viewers and helped shape morning television as we know it? Plus, Hoda isn’t just a co-anchor; she's a mom, an author, and a survivor—battle-tested by life’s ups and downs. No doubt she’ll continue to dazzle us in her next adventures, but her departure from "TODAY" will undoubtedly be felt across the NBC landscape. So grab your coffee and stay tuned for what’s next for Hoda and the beloved morning show!
