Elle n'est pas connue en France, et pourtant Hoda Kotb est une star aux USA, où elle anime la matinale de la chaîne NBC avec un salaire évalué à près de 1 million de dollar par mois. Hosa Kotb a annoncé, à la mi-journée, heure de Paris, qu'elle aller quitter l'émission « Today » à la fin de l'année 2024 après plus de cinq ans à la matinale.
Hoda Kotb était en larmes sur le plateau, comme vous pouvez le voir sur la séquence ci-dessus. Elle a assumé le rôle de co-présentatrice après le départ de Matt Lauer accusé d'agressions sexuelles par plusieurs salariés de la chaîne.
Elle a passé cinq ans à travailler aux côtés de Savannah Guthrie . Hoda Lotb a déclaré dans sa lettre qu'elle prévoyait toujours de "rester une partie de la famille NBC", mais n'a pas précisé quel serait son rôle au sein du réseau après son départ.
Hoda Kotb a récemment célébré son 60e anniversaire et a déclaré que ce moment d’émotion l’avait poussée à prendre la décision de partir :
"La célébration de mon soixantième anniversaire sur la Plaza a été comme un changement. J'ai tout vu si clairement. Une nouvelle décennie de ma vie m'attend, et maintenant, mes filles et ma mère ont besoin et méritent une plus grande part de mon temps, vous allez tous me manquer désespérément, mais je suis prête et excitée. "
Hoda Kotb a deux enfants : Haley Joy, qu'elle a adoptée en 2017, et Hope Catherine, qu'elle a adoptée en 2019. Elle a partagé les deux enfants avec son ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman ; le couple s'est séparé en 2022.
Le remplaçant ou la remplaçante de Hoda Kotb n’a pas été immédiatement annoncé.

00:00All right, normally we would do pop star right now, but we got Jen and Chanel here because our beloved Hoda has some news that she's going to share with everybody right now.
00:09I do, I have some news. So, I was doing the math and I realized that I have spent 26 years at NBC.
00:21Cool, be cool, be cool. 26 years at NBC, 16 years on the 10 and 7 years with you.
00:29And I just turned 60 and it was such a monumental moment for me when I turned 60 years old because I started thinking about that decade.
00:38Like what does that decade mean? What does it hold? What's it going to have for me?
00:43And I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and to try something new.
00:53And I think I realized it, this was so crazy, but remember our 60th birthday that we had outside?
01:00It was so, I can see it. And I remembered standing outside looking at this beautiful bunch of people with all these gorgeous signs and I thought, like, this is what the top of the wave feels like for me.
01:12And I thought it can't get better. And I decided that this is the right time for me to kind of move on.
01:21And then I thought about, obviously I had my kiddos late in life and I was thinking that they deserve a bigger piece of my time pie that I have.
01:31I feel like we only have a finite amount of time.
01:34And so, with all that being said, this is the hardest thing in the world because just today I was looking at my phone and all you guys were holding my kids.
01:45And I was like, oh my gosh, I kept looking at them, all the pictures.
01:49Anyway, but I'm not, I'm going to be here through the first of the year, past the first of the year, and I'm going to stay in the NBC family.
01:59But it's kind of a big deal for me, so sorry, I wasn't, I seriously, I've been practicing so I wouldn't cry, but anyway I did.
02:10There's no way there wasn't going to be tears.
02:13Vodafone, we love you so much.
02:16And when you look around you see these tears, they're love.
02:20You are so loved.
02:22And honestly, I don't think any of us can imagine, we don't want to imagine this place without you.
02:28So it's complicated because we love you so much and we don't want you to ever go.
02:33But also I just want to say, I am so proud of my friend.
02:38You have guts.
02:40For someone to leave at the top of their game, to leave something that's wonderful, that you love, where it's easy and comfortable and beautiful and fun and safe.
02:52But I dream even bigger for myself.
02:54It's great, I know.
02:56You have so much guts.
02:58You inspire me.
02:59I love you.
03:00Yes, and it's not over, because I'm going to be showing up at your house.
03:06Like the stalker you are to Zach Brown.
03:09I'm going to be there on your doorstep and we are your friends.
03:13Forever.
03:14Forever.
03:15Y'all, this means so much to me.
03:17And I don't know what to say except for, you don't leave family.
03:21So I'm going to be haunting you in your lives for a long, long time.
03:27And I think the one thing that people know for sure about this group is we are family.
03:32It's real.
03:33And I'm telling you, Hoda has a relationship with every single person on this couch in her own way.
03:38And so I think we're all just kind of wrestling with it inside.
03:41But we also know what a dynamic mom you are, and presence you are, and your whole movement with wellness.
03:47You are going to change the world and we know it.
03:49Kill it.
03:50We know it.
03:51You are the best.
03:52So we're still here.
03:53I have never known anybody like you.
03:55And that is, I've known you forever.
03:57I know.
03:58Love you.
03:59And when I get sick, I remember the first person who walked into my hospital room was you.
04:03And the first person who walked into your hospital room was her.
04:07And never left.
04:08Never left.
04:09Actually became a doctor.
04:10And I do want to say, because my favorite part of us is us, but my other favorite part of this place, I'm looking at everybody,
04:19Yosef and Davy and everybody and Megan, who, everybody who's here in the studio, and Holly and I see Mary and everybody.
04:26And Matt.
04:27And so, it's a lot.
04:30And also, I was just thinking about all those guys outside.
04:33Like, that's our favorite part of the day.
04:35It's like, you know, so anyway, I'm going to get a lot of hugs and you're going to think I'm totally weird for the next several months.
04:41And we're going to celebrate you for the next several months.
04:44I just have to, people have to know, she's not leaving the NBC family.
04:48No.
04:49She's not.
04:50She'll always be here and be a part of us.
04:52And you will see her and we will see her.
04:54Right?
04:56You told me that, right?
04:58Take it out loud.
04:59Part of the NBC family, for sure.
05:02People in this business, when that little red light, when it goes off, they're different people, you know.
05:08We've worked with all of those people before.
05:10You're the opposite.
05:11When that little red light goes off, you are exactly like people see you in the morning.
05:16Just the biggest heart.
05:17And it's, you've been the heart of the show for a long time.
05:21There's no replacing that.
05:23You are our sunshine.
05:25You are.
05:26And a North Star.
05:27We love you so, so much.
05:29I love you guys too.
05:30We love you enough to let you go shine and run after your dreams and go find this next chapter.
05:36And we frankly can't wait to see what you do.
05:39Yeah.
05:40But we'll just be here waiting for you.
05:45We're back.
05:46After your local news.
05:47Okay.
05:53Ciao.
