Here's Who Hoda Kotb Wants to Replace Her on Today

As I delve into the lives of these remarkable women, each one a beacon of strength and grace, I can’t help but marvel at their journeys. From the dynamic duo, Carson Daly and his wife, who just welcomed their fourth child, Goldie Patricia, to the resilient Megyn Kelly, balancing her public life with the privacy of her children, Edward, Yardley, and Thatcher.


Hoda Kotb has one requirement for whoever replaces her on Today.

The individual I’m seeking is someone who shares a wonderful connection with Jenna Bush Hager,” Hoda confided to Daryn Carp from TopMob News during their chat on October 25 at the Making Space wellness event at Miraval Austin Resort and Spa, Texas. “I simply desire that harmony. It’s not about either of us as individuals; it’s all about the magic that happens between them. So find that chemistry.” (Tune in to TopMob News tonight, October 29, at 11 p.m., for more of our exclusive interview with Hoda.)

The 60-year-old stated, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s her closest friend or a coworker, or even a famous personality – when she connects with someone, that’s all she needs. If there’s a spark between them, it will be captivating.

As a committed participant in the NBC morning news show, I may not have a direct role in deciding who speaks over me, but I actively empower my fourth-hour co-host to voice their opinions during the casting process.

In her podcast, Hoda Kotb recalled saying to Jenna, “‘Follow your feelings. Choose what resonates with you.’ She’ll figure it out, as authentic connections happen when there’s a genuine connection or not – that playful, enjoyable atmosphere. It can’t be fabricated.

Plus, Hoda shared a LOL-worthy lesson in humility for her yet-to-be-named successor.

She pointed out, “You’ll be seated next to Savannah Guthrie,” she mentioned, “and this is your task: You’ll hop on a sidecar and express ‘thanks a lot’, alright?

After revealing in September that she would be leaving Today within the following months, marking nearly 17 years with the show, Hoda described her final months as co-host as a “gradual farewell”. She went on to say that it can feel quite taxing. It’s almost like an unusual experience, which she wasn’t fully prepared for.

Once she no longer needs to rise at 3 a.m. every workday, she has a clear plan for how she will spend her leisurely mornings.

In her town, Hoda discovered there’s a 5:30 Soul Cycle class that she intends to join. She shared this during a conversation, as Hoda is a mother of daughters Haley (age 7) and Hope (age 5), with ex-partner Joel Schiffman. After the workout, she plans to return home to prepare breakfast for her kids and pack a coffee in her Yeti to go. Later, she will accompany her children on their walk through beautiful streets to school and give them a goodbye kiss.
