Hoda Kotb Exits NBC’s ‘Today’ Show With Teary Goodbye, Thankful for “Ride of a Lifetime”
Hoda Kotb had a tearful sendoff Friday during her last day on Today, the NBC morning news franchise.
“Can I just say thank you? I haven’t been able to articulate it, because I’m a mess most times, but I just want to say thanks,” an emotional Kotb told her co-workers on-air. Today, as always, kicked off at 7 a.m. with Guthrie giving a somber recap of the news, which this morning revolved around wildfires in Los Angeles and President-elect Donald Trump being sentenced in a New York City criminal case.
Then the “Hoda-bration” began with Kotb, co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Craig Melvin on the Studio 1A couch at Rockefeller Center before a goodbye video package was played.
“If I don’t do this interview, does that mean she won’t leave?” Guthrie questioned into the camera at one point, before adding: “Hoda. I love you.
