NBC Execs in Full Panic Mode! Hoda Kotb’s Shocking Exit Announcement Leaves ‘Today’ Show Scrambling—Can They Convince Her to Stay?”
By [Your Name], March 29, 2025
NBC is in full crisis mode after longtime Today co-host Hoda Kotb tearfully announced her departure from the show last week. But insiders say network executives haven’t given up yet—and are begging her to reconsider.
Could Hoda still be convinced to stay—at least part-time? Or is this truly the end of an era?
A Stunning Announcement That Left ‘Today’ Reeling
During a heartfelt live moment, Hoda told viewers that after 26 years at NBC, it was time for a change. Fighting back tears, she said:
“I just turned 60, and it was such a monumental moment for me… I realized it was time to turn the page and try something new.”
The emotional announcement shocked fans and co-hosts alike, with Savannah Guthrie struggling to hold back tears as she praised Hoda’s bravery for leaving at the peak of her career.

But behind the scenes, NBC bosses are desperate to keep her on board.
NBC’s Last-Ditch Effort to Keep Hoda
According to an exclusive source, network executives aren’t ready to let Hoda go just yet. They’re scrambling to strike a new deal—even if it means reducing her workload to just one day a week.
“There are negotiations in the works with pleas for her to do one day a week, like Barbara Walters once did on ‘The View,’” a source revealed.
Hoda, however, has remained vague about her final departure date, hinting that the door might still be open for a part-time return.
Why Hoda Is Ready to Walk Away
Hoda’s decision to leave Today isn’t about money, despite rumors of a pay cut. Instead, sources say the grueling early-morning schedule has taken its toll.
“At 60, morning TV is a young person’s game,” a close insider said.
Hoda, a single mom to two adopted daughters, wants to spend more time with Hope (5) and Haley (7).
“By the time her girls get home from school, she’s wiped out,” the insider added.
Last year, when Hope was hospitalized with an undisclosed illness, Hoda reportedly reassessed her priorities.
“Everything changed for her after that,” said the source.
What’s Next for Hoda?
While her Today tenure may be ending, Hoda isn’t retiring. Insiders say she’s eyeing a new chapter that includes:
✔️ Prime-time specials, similar to Diane Sawyer’s long-form interviews
✔️ Celebrity sit-downs and exclusive one-on-one features
✔️ Expanding her popular podcast, Making Space
✔️ Writing more books, especially for children
Will NBC Convince Her to Stay?
For now, Today executives are holding out hope that Hoda won’t walk away completely.
“This isn’t the last we’ve seen of Hoda,” a source assured.
But if her mind is truly made up, Today will be facing one of its biggest shake-ups in years.
Will she give in to the network’s pleas? Or will she officially close the book on her morning show legacy?
One thing is certain—Hoda isn’t done inspiring just yet.
