00:00And I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60.
00:09That's Hoda Kotb announcing that after 16 years she is leaving the Today Show.
00:14This is like honestly the saddest thing of the year.
00:16You do know there's like a war in the Middle East?
00:18Yeah, but who's gonna teach us about thank you note etiquette now?
00:22Do I need to send a thank you note for a gift that was given to me as a thank you?
00:26No.
00:27Priceless advice.
00:29But yes, Hoda's leaving the show at the end of the year,
00:31and thankfully they didn't get all schmaltzy about it on air.
00:35We love you so much.
00:37And when you look around and you see these tears, they're love.
00:40You are so loved.
00:42Barf.
00:43Why is she leaving?
00:44Well, Hoda says she wants to spend more time with her kids
00:47and likes the idea of leaving at the top of her game.
00:50But...
00:51Something's weird here.
00:52It's gotta be money.
00:53Why do you guys not understand not wanting to work?
00:55Because work is fulfilling, even necessary sometimes.
00:59It's like, yeah, you know what?
01:01I was gonna say watch your brain atrophy, but I'm already doing that.
01:05What's atrophy mean?
01:07Don't think you need to worry about it, pal.
01:09But now the Today Show has a big choice to make.
01:12Who's in line to replace me?
01:13The big thing is, are they gonna get a man or a woman?
01:15They should just bring in another woman.
01:16Why?
01:17Because we're underpaid, underquality.
01:19Underquality?
01:21Felony, no!
01:24Let's just hope you have better options than these two, Today Show.
01:27We're gonna miss you, Hoda!
01:29I've been practicing so I wouldn't cry, but anyway, I did.
