In 2015, Hoda also becameTODAY’s main co-anchor,succeedingMatt Lauer.
Hoda is paired withSavannah Guthrie, the senior and longtime co-anchor.
Hoda also said she wanted to spend more time with her two children.

The journalist clarified that she’s not leaving NBC, just her roles atTODAY.
My absolute fave!
But as a mom, I get it.
Our time with our kids is finite and shes making the choice thats best for her daughters.
Years ago, I was in the NBC building and met Hoda in the hallway.
A sweet, kind, genuine person who left a mark on me then and now.
All the best Hoda!https://t.co/WrQbVp8LQC

A generous and kind colleague who I admire.
Heres to your best chapter ye, Hoda!
Hoda is all-star journalist and an incredible person.
Every time I see her in the halls at 30 Rock, I get a giant hug.
Shes truly unique in that she is the same person on & off camera.
