Hoda Kotb Talks About Her Decision to Leave TODAY Show and 26 Years at NBC | The Tonight Show

[@coffeeprincess25]

She is so warm in interviews, such a lovely person, I wish her the best!!

[@mamasaid12]

Enjoy your life Hoda! You're so lovable and just such a positive person. We will miss you but your girls are going to get to savor all the attention from Mom.

[@SharonShin-i4o]

Hoda Kotb is a very CLASSY woman. I'm going to miss you.

[@andrezavalaTV]

love her, u can tell she is a great energy

[@brendamccarthy165]

Hoda, You will be definitely missed. Go do you Hoda. We love you and thank you for 26 years.

[@estevangonzalez9212]

NBC was so lucky they had Hoda to rescue them from the Lauer situation on that day they fired him. She deserved the top job from the beginning and is finally getting to enjoy the rewards of her hard work and positivity.

Exactly

[@irock2403]

She wasn't paid Matt Lauer level pay even though he was a serial rapist and she saved NBC's ass from a major PR debacle. Why should she continue to work at an ungrateful place. Hoda you rock.

[@janmccan7621]

Thank you for your transparency Hoda enjoy your girls and family

[@francy2127]

In any company, even if you work your butt off… the owners, management concerns are: income statement & balance sheet.. lesson: leave when they want you stay.. I have been there….loyalty is sometimes ungrateful… 😢

[@daniellerichard1385]

well said.

[@erickirk6966]

My theory is NBC had to passify and appease Lauer's ego, paying him $25M-30M/year before his epic fall from grace. Many still swear that Lauer had a big hand in getting Ann Curry canned from Today back 12 years ago, and I also couldn't help noticing how other on-air talents (like Savannah Guthrie and Kathie Lee Gifford as notable examples) backed Lauer like he was this martyr, and like he was so awesome, and were apparently cool with NBC publicly humiliating Ann Curry like they did. This is also the same NBC that had PR problems with talent and management, including Andy Lack putting the kibosh on Ronan Farrow's Harvey Weinstein exposé, Brian Williams' Iraq war embellishment story, to Linda Vester's sexual harassment allegations against Tom Brokaw, NBC talents getting all up in arms over the hiring and firing of Ronna Romney McDaniel, the Dateline NBC exploding fuel incident that resulted in Brian Ross getting fired, and other notable scandals. I'd imagine the same things are also happening at ABC, CBS, Fox, and CNN too.

Hoda has such a beautiful smile ❤

[@lyndziemacdonald2391]

We met her at the today show for my mom’s 50th birthday, that’s all she wanted was to meet Hoda. She held up her sign we made tv and got pictures with Hoda all the way from Aroostook county Maine! She was the sweetest human just like you see on tv. I am excited for her new journey but will miss her so much ❤

[@markbayer1573]

I wish the wonderful Hoda every happiness in life, but MAN am I going to miss her. When I was alone, not working and bored to death during COVID lockdowns she and the Today Show crew continually kept me positive and inspired; they seemed so much like a loving family and I looked at them as valued friends. Hoda's endless warmth, compassion, kindness, energy and sense of fun continue to make her show the vital beginning of my day. And she is unbelievably lovely AND lovable: the lady has 10, 000 assorted smiles and none of them are the same. Just love her.

[@ShirleyPotts-ud3nb]

I just love Hoda

[@katiewilliams5643]

Can relate to the liberation one feels being free of a too early morning alarm clock. Did 32 years in schools. I loved most every job I was in, but now I sure enjoy rolling over most mornings and dozing until I damn well feel like rising & shining & feeling no guilt about being a natural night iwl.😂

If you work and live for this life , you will be forgotten. Just an advice to whoever reads it. Even if we are remembered by some, it won't benefit us. Do not create your own God in mind. It won't help you in future. God sent his messengers for a reason. The least we can do is to abide by God's rules and limitations, and try to leave positive impact in our surroundings. Good luck on the Journey of this short life. Remember this:the sweetness of this life, is bitterness of the next life and vice versa. Source: God to his messangers to us. Do not sin and be happy. Respect God's rules.
