AFTER 17 YEARS, HODA KOTB ANNOUNCED THAT SHE IS LEAVING

60-year-old famous journalist, Hoda Kotb, announced that she is leaving the “Today” show, where she was a part of for the last 60 months.

“I realized it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and try something new,” Kotb shared when she talked about her decision.

“I just thought the universe was speaking to me,” the journalist shared with The New York Times. “This is a time in life for looking inside you, and figuring out what your yearnings are, your callings — where or what direction you’re headed during this new decade.”

Her co-anchor Savannah Guithrie shared that she didn’t “want to imagine this place without [her],” as she stated that people will have a hard time when they can’t see her in the show.

Kotb became the co-anchor of the show back in 2018, where she replaced Matt Lauer, who was fired in 2017 after his name was involved with sexual misconduct.
