Hoda Kotb announced she is leaving "Today" after the new year.
Hoda said "I’ve been weighing this decision for quite a while. Am I truly ready? But, my 60th 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."
Hoda will continue working with NBC.
