The untold story behind Hoda Kotb's shock decision to quit Today - and why NO sum of money was going to change her mind
Fans were left devastated when mother-of-two Hoda tearfully announced she will officially step down early next year after 17 years on the flagship show and nearly three decades at NBC.
Despite her close friendship with cohost Jenna Bush Hager, the TV anchor, 60, always felt they never quite captured the chemistry she shared with former host Kathie Lee Gifford, 71, insiders have exclusively told DailyMail.com. There was reportedly 'no amount of money' that she would accept to change her mind as she looks forward to spending more time with Haley, seven, and Hope, five, as well as grabbing the 'rich' opportunities - including potentially finding a new man - that Kathie Lee has enjoyed since she quit in 2019. 'Yes, it's about her girls and being able to walk them to school but also, she's seen how rich a life Kathie Lee Gifford has lived since quitting – she's had a boyfriend, written a play, books, music, she even wrote and starred in a movie,' the insider said.
