NEW YORK (AP) – Hoda Kotb is leaving NBC’s “Today” show. Kotb told viewers this morning that her 60th birthday over the summer made her realize it’s time for a change, even though she feels she’s at the top of the wave of her career. She says she needs to spend more time with her two daughters, ages 7 and 5, and her mother. Kotb joined NBC in 1998 and became part of the “Today” show in 2007. She has been a co-anchor since 2018. Kotb plans to work through the beginning of 2025. (Photo: AP)
