A Farewell to Remember

Hoda Kotb’s final episode on Today was nothing short of emotional. After 17 years with the show, she left with a legacy of professionalism, warmth, and friendship. During her last show, she took the time to thank her co-hosts, including Carson Daly, Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie, and Craig Melvin, who was named as her replacement for the early morning segment. Hoda expressed her gratitude with heartfelt words, saying, “Carson, you’re like the secret sauce on the show, man. Without you, the show doesn’t hum.”

She continued, “Al, you’re my first friend here, the first person I met. When I got sick, you were the first person who walked into the room and said I was gonna be OK.” Turning to Savannah, she said, “Oh, my God. You’re my person, you’re my person. You know who shows up for everybody? This girl. … She’s in the room, she’s always in the room, and I love you.”

Hoda also had kind words for Craig Melvin, telling him, “Craig, I’m so happy for you. You’ve earned this, you own this, and come Monday at 7 a.m., I am gonna be dead asleep. But you’re gonna be fantastic. You’re gonna bring it home. Craig, you’re gonna be so good. You and Savannah are gonna be magic.”

Looking Forward to New Beginnings

Although Hoda Kotb won’t be seeing her Today co-hosts daily, she plans to make occasional appearances on the show, keeping her ties with the NBC family intact. A source told Closer that while leaving the show was bittersweet for her, she feels ready for this new chapter in her life. The source added, “And it’s not like she’s burnt any bridges, the door will always be open for her, possibly even for the occasional cameo. Not that she’s got any intention of going back; she’s ready for this new chapter. That being said, she will miss the people a lot.”
