Hoda Kotb is set to earn 'way more' than her previous $7M salary after shock departure from Today show


Hoda Kotb is poised to earn significantly more than her previous salary, after her shock departure from the Today show.

It comes amid rumors that Lost in Translation star Scarlett could put her glittering Hollywood career on pause if NBC bosses sign her up to join Jenna Bush Hager as a permanent fixture on the Today Show - and that even Hoda has 'voiced her approval.' After the likes of Taraji P Henson, Eva Longoria and Keke Palmer enjoyed stints on the fourth hour last week, fans made it clear that Black Widow actress Scarlett was their favored co-host and came close to upstaging Jenna, 43. Now, a well-placed insider has revealed that bosses are ready to do what it takes to make her a permanent fixture after she wraps up her duties on January 24 - with rumors of a $5 million-a-year contract in the mix.
