Hoda Kotb Today

Hoda Kotb tearfully announced on Thursday morning that, after 26 years on the air with Today on NBC, she’s going to retire.

As she wrote in a letter posted on their website: “I’ve been weighing this decision for quite a while — Am I truly ready? But, my sixtieth birthday celebration on the Plaza felt like a shift. Like a massive, joyful YES, you are! I saw it all so clearly: my broadcast career has been beyond meaningful, a new decade of my life lies ahead, and now my daughters and my mom need and deserve a bigger slice of my time pie. I will miss you all desperately, but I’m ready and excited.”

Watch her tell the world on the air:
