NBC
Hoda says she will be staying at the network, but working in a different capacity … although she did not elaborate.
She wrote she believes she’s making the right decision and that it’s a painful one because she loves the show, but she knows she needs to leave it.
Hoda said she’s been with NBC for 26 years, which has been the “longest professional love affair” of her life, noting she worked 10 years at “Dateline” — the network’s long-running TV news magazine.
She also reflected on her “Today” show colleagues, thanking them for lifting her up and inspiring her, cherishing their friendships.
She went on to mention other “Today” star contributors, such as Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Carson Daly. She dubbed Al her longest buddy at 30 Rockefeller Center, which is NBC headquarters.
