Hoda Kotb Misses ‘Instant Daily Connection’ With Savannah Guthrie & Colleagues After ‘Today’ Exit
- Hoda Kotb left her co-hosting role on Today nearly five months ago after 26 years at NBC, ending early morning duties at the show.
- Kotb's youngest daughter Hope has type 1 diabetes requiring 24/7 monitoring, which partly influenced but did not solely cause Kotb's departure.
- Since stepping away from Today, Kotb is dedicating more moments to her two young daughters, Haley, age eight, and six-year-old Hope, while also preparing to introduce her new wellness venture, Joy 101.
- In a recent interview with People, Kotb expressed how much she misses the spontaneous, everyday interactions that happen naturally when entering a room, without needing to schedule them in advance.
- Kotb recently shared a one-hour coffee meeting with Savannah Guthrie where they laughed, cried, and Kotb said she would only return to TV at Today if she resumed that role.
