Hoda Kotb will visit the fourth hour of Today on Wednesday to serve as a guest co-host, this time to announce a new venture focused on wellness, the show announced.
Kotb departed Today in January, having been teamed with Savannah Guthrie in the first two hours since 2018. In the fourth hour, which she also co-hosted, Jenna Bush Hager has been teamed with guest host in the renamed Today with Jenna & Friends.
Kotb plans to share details of the new venture, which also will launch on Wednesday. She also has been gathering sign ups for a newsletter.
When she announced last year that she would be departing the show, Kotb said, “I’ve been weighing this decision for quite a while – Am I truly ready? But, my sixtieth 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.”
