Jamie Lee Curtis Shares Emotional Farewell to Hoda Kotb on 'Today'

The Oscar-winning actress read a heartfelt letter to Kotb as the longtime anchor prepares to leave the show in early January 2025.

Hoda Kotb, who has been with NBC since 1998 and a co-anchor of 'Today' since 2018, announced her departure earlier this year to spend more time with her children.
Jamie Lee Curtis appeared on the December 12 episode of 'Today' and read a touching letter she had sent Kotb in September, which had not reached her due to a move.
The letter, which Curtis read aloud, expressed admiration and support, bringing Kotb to tears during the live broadcast.
Curtis praised Kotb as a 'treasure' and commended her impact on the show and her colleagues, emphasizing the significance of her departure.
Kotb's final day as co-anchor of 'Today' will be January 1, 2025, with Craig Melvin announced as her successor starting January 13.
