Two
very
special
guests
helped
usher
Hoda
Kotb
into
her
new
chapter.
During
the
longtime
Today
host’s
final
show
Jan.
10,
her
two
kids,
Haley,
7,
and
Hope,
5,
were
among
those
who
made
an
appearance
on
the
NBC
morning
show.
But
they
weren’t
the
only
ones
wishing
the
longtime
anchor
farewell, celebrities
such
as
Jamie
Lee
Curtis,
Oprah
Winfrey and
even
Kermit
the
Frog
all
sent
their
best
wishes
on
her
last
day.
The
60-year-old,
who
started
hosting
Today’s
fourth
hour
in
2007
and
joined
Savannah
Guthrie
as
co-anchor
of
the
first
hour
in
2017,
tearfully
announced
her
departure
from
the
show
in
September,
expressing
how
she
wanted
to
spend
more
time
with
her
girls.
“Obviously
I
had
my
kiddos
late
in
life,”
she
told
Savannah
as
well
as
Today’s
Al
Roker,
Craig
Melvin,
Jenna
Bush
Hager,
and
Sheinelle
Jones.
“And
I
was
thinking
that
they
deserve
a
bigger
piece
of
my
time
pie
that
I
have.
I
feel
like
we
only
have
a
finite
amount
of
time.
And
so,
with
all
that
being
said,
this
is
the
hardest
thing
in
the
world.”
As
for
the
future,
she’s
already
looking
forward
to
exploring
new
hobbies
and
spending
mornings
with
her
daughters.
