Hoda Kotb, a long-time anchor at NBC News, has announced her departure from the “Today” show in early 2025 after more than 25 years at the network. Kotb, who has co-hosted the morning program for over five years, made the announcement in a letter to colleagues, expressing her gratitude for the support throughout her career. While she plans to remain a part of the NBC family, her future role at the network is still uncertain. The decision to leave was spurred by her recent 60th birthday celebration, where she felt a shift and realized she wanted to dedicate more time to her daughters and mother. Kotb, who has two children that she adopted in 2017 and 2019, shared the news with her fans and expressed her excitement for the next chapter in her life.
Kotb’s departure leaves a vacancy in the co-anchor role on the show, and a replacement has not yet been announced. The news has come as a surprise to many viewers who have followed Kotb’s career at NBC News. As she bids farewell to her morning show family, fans can only wait and see what new opportunities lie ahead for the beloved anchor.
