Hoda Kotb today announced that she will step down from NBC’s TODAY after six years as co-presenter of the morning show.
Kotb said: “I realised it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and try something new.”
She has co-hosted the show with Savannah Guthrie since early 2018. They were the show’s first all-female anchor team.
Kotb joined NBC News as a correspondent for Dateline in 1998 and went on to cover a wide array of domestic and international news stories before joining the TODAY team in 2007, co-hosting the show’s fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford.
