Hoda Kotb’s Final Day at ‘Today’ Celebrated With Laughs and Tears: ‘One Last Time, Let’s Do This’
Hoda Kotb was celebrated on Friday during her last day hosting "Today" after 17 years at the show.
At the top of the 7 am ET hour, a supercut of the morning’s news stories — including a tease of Kotb’s on-air celebration — left her and her co-anchor Savannah Guthrie near tears early in the broadcast. Beyond her fourth-hour duties, Kotb was elevated to co-anchor of “Today” alongside Guthrie in Jan. 2018, in the wake of Matt Lauer’s termination for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” The celebratory mood was somewhat dampened by a heartbreaking and busy news day, including continued coverage of the L.A. fires, a massive winter storm hitting the south and Trump’s impending sentencing on felony charges.
